First, Mandy is great. She worked with us to make sure we were comfortable with their online setup and even got us a more favorable inspection time. When I arrived to the house for the inspection, one of their inspectors, David, was already waiting. He began walking us through the process and in general made us feel extremely comfortable. Glenn came later and I could immediately see why he's so highly regarded. He's like a walking, talking library of homes and Houston building practices. Although the knowledge he possesses is very valuable, what makes him special is the way he shares it, in a very affable manner with tons of anecdotes and jokes. I felt lucky to have gotten both Dave and Glenn on the inspection and watching them work put us at ease. My wife and I learned a ton, and as we walked through the house he gave us a great education on the home, not just on what was done then, but what could have been done at the time, versus what we would expect now. In general, what made the TIP inspection great for us were the questions we didn't have to ask. It wasn't just them pointing out what was wrong, it was them telling us why it was wrong, and how much/little we should be concerned, all with an eye to the bottom line. I felt like he was an advocate for us, and I'm so very glad I followed the reviews of so many others and chose this company. If you're considering someone else, you're making a mistake, TIP is just that good.

I just love this home inpection company. They were highly recommended by my Real Estate Agent and as well as discovering them on Angie's List back in April 2013 when they broke ground on my new townhouse build. I don't know what I would have done without Glenn Wharton. He knows his business and found things before the initial slab pouring to the pre-sheet rock phase, to the final completion. He was a huge help in dealing with my building contractor. Because of him, my build went smoothly. Glenn Wharton is very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He looks at everything and provides you a detailed report with pictures the same evening in your email. The last time he was here in the my final phase, I was able to contact my warranty department of the builder, and they came right out to fix everything. My only reqret that I did not do, was to get Glenn to exterminate around the outside and inside of my new house before I moved in. You don't realize that when you do a new build, that you are disturbing the ground of critters coming out and they sometime find their way in. I had very minor critters and took care of them, but it is worth getting Glenn to exterminate! His prices are very reasonable, and I highly recommend to hire him during your build. I have been in my home 8 months, and I plan to get Glenn back at my 10 month mark to do another thorough home inspection before my one year warranty runs out with the builder. I will continue to use Glenn for periodic inspections for the time I own the home, and plan to use him with all new future home purchases. He is fantastic!

Mike was great to work with, detailed and did a 5 hour inspection job. He was great, provided amazing feedback and great advice. I must say it was the best inspection we have done in our buying of 3 homes. I will use again and appreciate his attention to detail. He also is very ethical and focused. I highly recommend!

The inspector Jay Arnold came on time, and explained to me every single detail I needed to understand, and showed me some of the items I had investigated myself and checked ahead of time, so he practically gave me a whole lesson, and advice on the things that were under warranty, and the ones I could fix myself, since I am a "do it yourself person". After taking the results to the builder the task to submit minor, and a couple of mayor repairs, was way easier, and I am very happy on how the builder has rersponded to me, which I attribute to the orientation Jay arnold gave me. He mentioned to have inspected quite q few thousand houses in his life, and I can believe it due to how smoothly my warranty requests have been going.

I chose TIP based on Angie's list's recommendations. Mike was ver knowledgable and showed me lots of things about the house during the inspection.

Not only did TIP give me an appointment within 24 hours, I had a Iicensed Inspector at the home I was interested in within another 24 hours, 2 day turn around, no kidding. Jerry Arnold Professional Home Inspector arrived on time. Jerry went straight to business, was very intensive in his examination. He took his time, I could tell his focus on detail was his main concern, with inspecting the property. He communicated all of his concerns to me as the buyer, which I appreciated greatly. I will recommend Jerry Arnold and Tip Home Services to anyone, anytime.

This is my second home purchase, first home inspector service I used I did not have angieslist at the time and I highly regret picking a random one off google. TIP home inspection was great, my inspector's name was David Moore. He was very professional, thorough, informative and friendly. I asked him the strangest questions regarding the home and he answered it very politely and did not make me feel bad about any other concerns I had with the home. David went through all corners of the home, including the roof, which is a huge concern for me in Houston and the majority of the home inspection turned out great. He also went through my sprinkler system and educated me on how to use it and how to winterize. David also shared his contact information with me just in case I had any future concerns or questions, which I already did and he responded very promptly! Thank you David and TIP! for giving me a peace of mind with my new home purchase and saving me some extra $$$ when it came time to negotiate for repairs!! Would highly recommend and use again if need arises.

The website was great for scheduling. You can pick your inspector or do first available. David came out to our house for our 1 year home warranty inspection. He was very professional and knowledgable. He walked me through every corner of my house and provided detailed descriptions of things that needed work and even things that were done properly. He found problems with my house that I would have never noticed that would have cost me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars a few years down the road. I would highly recommend TIP and ask for David!

They did the work, he was very thorough, and I have no complaints. They followed up with emails, and made some recommendations and they sent tips as well. I would use them again.

We found this company on Angie's list and decided to schedule our pre-sale home inspection through them due to the strong reviews. We arranged our inspection date online and pre-paid, and Mike arrived promptly at the scheduled time to perform the inspection. We walked through the house with him as he performed the inspection, and he took the time during each portion to explain what he was looking for, what he did or did not find, and provide recommendations for any issues found. He even gave us guidance on whether we could fix certain issues ourselves or whether he would recommend calling a contractor. He was very thorough in going through the home, attic and even on the roof, and assembled a comprehensive report (pdf format) with pictures that he emailed to us the next day. He was very patient throughout the process, which altogether took just over 3 hours. We would recommend Mike to anyone who needs a thorough home inspection.

Mike came out and spent several hours and seemed to check everything. He found some minor repairs that needed to be done. He also took the time to explain how some of the systems worked such as the sprinkler overflow. Very good job.

Scheduling an inspection was always easy and stress free. The inspector was always on time and professional. The reports were always promptly received and articulated issues in plain language which the builder was able to easily understand and identify. Pre-Foundation Pour Inspection: TIPs saved the day!!! A previous inspector (not with TIPs) refused to sign the builder's legal agreements at the last minute which left us scrambling for an inspector the day before the foundation was scheduled to be poured. Found TIPs on Angie's List and called them, they had someone on site later that day and a report to me in time for the builder to make corrections. Pre-Sheetrock Inspection: Photos and plain language enabled the builder the find the problems. The inspector was more than willing to answer any and all of my questions as well as explain the building codes that governed the different aspects of the construction. Final Inspection: The inspector found many issues with the building and pointed out the major items that I should be on the look out for. Again the plain the language in the report made it easy to keep track of. TIPs is very easy to work with and professional through and through. THANK YOU!!!

They were prompt and quite thorough, and everything is automated online or by e-mail. I would have preferred the commentary/details in the report to have been more detailed, but they did a good job nonetheless.

David was very through, professional and punctual. We were welcome to accompany him during the inspection. After he finished the inspection, he reviewed his findings with my husband and explained the issues. A detailed report with pictures was emailed to us that evening and at the end of the report was a summary of pertinent findings/information which we found to be very helpful. David encouraged us to contact him if we need additional support or information. Mandy was very helpful with the registration and scheduling of inspection. TIP is a first class company and comes highly recommend!!!

Mike with Texas Inspection Partners provided a complete TREC inspection and also a pool/spa/sprinkler inspection. Mike was on time, very professional and very thorough in the job he performed for us. TIP also performed a termite inspection that was conducted by Scot, who was also very professional and excellent in the services he provided. During Mike's inspection, not only did he point out any issues of concerns about the home, but pointed out so many useful things about the operational aspects of the home that were certainly useful to us as potential owners of the home. Both Mike and Scot were also so very personable and polite, both qualities that are so appreciated and unfortunately, not always seen in service oriented businesses. My husband and I will highly recommend TIP services and especially the quality of service provided by the two individuals that we had the privilege to meet.

David was on time, professional, very knowledgeable, thorough, and went the extra mile to address my concerns. It was a great experience and I will be using TIP Home Services again in the future.

Super easy to book an appointment and great follow up. Because I was out of town they worked with my realtor to confirm what was needed. As luck would have it, my flight was delayed an hour and i missed the inspector. I called the office and they contacted Dave who came back to review my report. I was impressed with the easy to understand and comprehensive explanation given to me. My realtor, who has sat in on many inspections, was also impressed!

They made comments on what basics of what was wrong, but we had another inspector come in after them who found twice as many issues.

I am purchasing a home and TIP did the inspection. Glenn Wharton conducted the inspection. He was very professional and thorough. He sat down with me after the inspection and walked through everything he found one by one. He explained anything I didn't understand and gave me a lot of practical advice. I would definitely use them again. I think they were a great value for the price.

We really trusted them for the inspection and they did an amazing job - super thorough and explained everything with clarity. Of course we wanted a 100% clean report, but we were glad to hear about any possible issues and what we should do to fix them. After purchasing the house, we hired them again for quarterly pest control and it has been great. The house was vacant when we moved in and there were some spiders and roaches to take care of. Since we had our first service we have had NO bug issues at all. David who did the service was really nice to work with. I highly recommend them and believe they offer a quality service at a price well worth paying.

It went better than i ever expected. After rescheduling my appointment 3 times since my closing on the house was changing they 1st were very understanding and kind. When we FINALLY had the green light on purchasing our house I was able to schedule an inspection with Glenn Wharton. Glenn took his time and paid very close attention to every detail of my house. On top of that he gave me advice on how to keep our house insect free as well as energy efficient. He was VERY thorough and took pictures of each and every detail he found somewhat questionable. He also made sure the house was up to Harris County Code even though the house is in Montgomery County which tends to be more lenient. He also told me "if you have any future questions give me a call, advice is free." Then a few hours later as he promised I received an email of all his findings with pictures and under each picture he listed the issues and recommendations. I also got a follow up call and email in the following weeks. Texas Home Inspection were very professional from Mandy; who kept rescheduling my appointment, to Glenn; who was AWESOME. I would reccomend them and use them again if I were ever to buy another house.

I was very pleased with the inspection. There were renters in the house and they were present. It did not hinder the inspection, however, they had so much in the attic and other places that it prevented as thorough an inspection ( no fault of the inspector) that could have been. He (inspector) answered my questions and concerns and was very professional. My concern was any structural issues which he addressed to my satisfaction. I was very pleasantly surprised how quickly the report was sent to me. There were details of the things that were deficient with colored pictures. I would recommend this company.

Their operation is stellar. You are able to schedule and pay online and download a PDF report within hours after the inspection. If only everything ran so smoothly. The inspector, Jerry Arnold was very thorough and answered all of our questions on the walk through. We were very happy with their work.

They always find everything that can possibly be wrong with the homes. Since many of the homes I sell are more than 30 years old, my clients want that type of thoroughness.

They were very prompt, however the inspectors missed an infestation of bees. The biggest problem was that Jerry Arnold completely missed apparent slab problems. The report was marked settling movement was seen, but foundation was supporting structure. After being the I our home 5 months we have seen movement. We just had a structural engineer review the house, and we must have piers & pilings installed at a cost of 10K. We had passed on 2 other houses with foundation issues. If they had just marked the report there was structural movement & recommend an inspection by an engineer we would have not purchased this house. The structural engineer reviewed the report & felt there telltale signs of movement such as doors not staying closed & gap in the breezeway to the garage. The report has completely useless.
