Sherman went above and beyond! He provided a detailed home inspection and helped explain the severity of certain issues and recommended solutions. I'd gladly recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection, and actually already referred him to a family member who is moving.

Sherman @ Top Line Home Inspections, LLC did an exceptional job inspecting a home for us. He was on time, professional and competent. Most importantly the report he provided was exceptional. I would recommend Top Line Home Inspections without hesitation.

Norman and Sherman are incredible. As a first-time homebuyer they explained each part of the inspection as I walked around with them, taught me about the house, and walked me through the inspection process. I got to view the live video of the sewer line with Sherman as it was happening, giving me more insight into the work. They produced a clear report and it was in my inbox that same evening. Highly reccomend!

My realtor recommended Sherman to do my home inspection. Not only did he missed things small things (e.g. my front porch light not working) but he missed big things as well (e.g. the flashing on my chimney leaking). The biggest thing I will comment about was not tell me there were roots in my sewer - which I paid extra for a scope!! After finding out that there were roots in my sewer due to my drains not working, I looked for the sewer report and could not find it anywhere. Once I called his office about this matter, it mysteriously appeared on the website. Now he is saying it was there all along. Do yourself a favor and find a different home inspector. This guy is a liar and a thief!

I am saddened by my client’s malicious and libelous review. I provided her with system logs from my third-party vendors, clearly showing that the reports were delivered on the same day as the inspection in February of 2023. The sewer-scope report recommended they address a significant root issue. The logs also show that my client failed to access those reports until early December 2023, almost ten months after the inspection. I have evidence that I transmitted the reports to my client in February of 2023; I cannot force them to read them promptly. My clients always receive my reports within a day of the inspection, usually on the same day as the inspection.

We had a great experience with Sherman - Top Line Home Inspection. We needed the inspection right away; he understood that and made himself available within a few days. The inspection was thorough and he paid attention to the smallest details. I would definitely use Top Line Home Inspection again with my next property.

I was totally and completely satisfied with the inspection and report I received. Norman went above and beyond on our inspection and even explained in details questions we had about the home in general. He also gave some very valuable insight for things we should do now and in the future. He was also very welcoming to me and my wife during the inspection and even went back around to double check things we had questions about. They even told me about an inspection I didnt need since it was a new home.I recommend this company to anyone in need of an inspection and highly recommend Norman.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what we got from Sherman at Top Line. He was professional, communicative, and transparent with his assessment of our soon to be home. With purchasing an older home we knew there might be some problems. Sherman was generous with his time, answering every question that we could think of throughout our inspection. He talked us through what he was seeing (the good and the bad), and made it simple for us to understand what we should prioritize. I would definitely recommend Sherman to anyone buying an older home. 10/10

Sherman recently conducted a home inspection for me, and it completely exceeded expectations. I'm relocating to Columbus from NYC, so I had to rely on his expertise and clarity of his report since I was unable to be there. The final document was extremely thorough (over 60 pages!), and included descriptions and pictures for each condition. Upon completion, he followed up with a quick text to give me the highlights before completing the full report. Thankfully there were no major issues, and I now have a weekend to-do list for the next year. He also offered to review and answer any questions with me after we move and I've had a chance to go through the report in person. Top notch service, and would not hesitate to recommend him to others!

Top Line was recommended to me by my realtor and I had Sherman do pre-offer inspections on 2 properties (on which I was outbid) as well as on the house I finally got an offer accepted. Due to it being a sellers market I was working on really tight timelines and he was available quickly each time. I was present on all the inspections and despite arriving between 5-10 minutes early I did not arrive before he did. He was extremely thorough and more than happy to explain to me what he was looking for and why as well as answer any questions about the implications of any observations made. He also made clear to me what areas were outside the scope of the inspection as well as when he thought it might make sense to bring in a specific expert. The reports were all made available to me promptly and gave me a lot more confidence in moving forward. I would highly recommend Sherman to anyone in the market right now.

In today's world it is so nice to see that there are still those who understand the importance of doing quality work, respecting customers, being punctual, kind, and patient. Sherman displays all of these qualities and more. He took all of the time we needed to go through our new purchase and answer all of our questions. His report was extremely thorough, awesome presentation, and completed the next day. He has also made himself available for any and all explanations of his report. Sherman also helped us to find contractors/handymen to help us with immediate and future repairs. I highly recommend Top Line Inspections, LLC beyond any doubt.

Sherman was so great to work with. He was incredibly thorough and so knowledgable. I felt like he knew exactly where to look and what to look for in order to make sure I was aware of any and all issues that might come up with our new home, as well as how to prioritize those issues and go about solving them. Would definitely recommend!

Inspection went well. Sherman explained all aspects that were confusing and unfamiliar in this home inspection. The explanation level and technical information was adapted to our knowledge of the topic and his was patience explaining items was very useful. His patience and professionalism was top notch and I would not hesitate to hire again. The only thing I'd change is in the report, bold, bullet-point, highlight or some other method to emphasize the critical elements that need attention due to safety (perhaps we had none). The thought being, as a new home owner, I can quickly reference this report after moving in and remind note the most critical issues quickly.

Sherman was very thorough and responsive. He did the inspection in the morning and I had a final report by the end of the day. I was able to shadow him on his inspection to ask questions and review any concerns that he had found. I would hire him again.
