Very good.
Description of Work: They did a private home inspection. They weren't affiliated with my builder and I had some concerns that the builders seemed to be tossing aside and ignoring my concerns so I got my own inspector.

Response from National Property Inspections
Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am very surprised at this review, but I think I know why. You were being relocated through a buyout program due to flooding in Onion Creek area of Austin, TX. I was instructed to fill out a form required by the program to state the conditions of the home you were wanting to acquire. The home was in very poor condition with structural movement, damaged and altered plumbing as well as a significant amount of mold on interior and wood rot on exterior. I was simply doing my job with what I had to report. I know you saw the potential and wanted to fix it up, however, I was obligated to answer the questions honestly for the purchaser of the property. I feel your review was very unfair, given the fact that I was only doing my job and had an obligation to the organization funding the loan to purchase the property.

Description of Work: I don't remember the cost but it was reasonable! Rodney did a great job inspecting our home and helped us find issues that needed to be fixed such as holes in the roof where they nailed boards for footing but didn't patch. He was all over this house marking from paint touch ups to problems that needed to be fixed

I was very satisfied with the quality of service. The inspector showed up early and had already started the inspection by the time I arrived. He was very thorough and explained all his findings, including suggested repairs, and prepared a detailed report complete with photos of everything. He was polite and professional during the entire process. I would definitely hire this company again.

I contacted Rodney on a Tuesday. I explained that I found him through Angie's list and was in need of having an inspection performed on a house my husband and I knew had some concerns, just not sure to what extent. From the beginning Rodney was extremely helpful, courteous, and agreed to meet me on a Saturday morning to have the inspection performed. Rodney arrived a few minutes earlier than I did and was already preparing to begin his work. After he completed the inspection, Rodney spent as much time as needed to go over his findings. Everything was documented by photographs which were clearly marked and explained. He was extremely thorough and patient with me as I had many questions and concerns. Rodney not only inspected the areas that were easily accessible, but also suited up for the attic and the under home portion since there was access under the house. I received the full report in a very timely manner and was beyond impressed with the format. My husband and I did not purchase the home but I can say with 100% confidence, Rodney will be performing the inspection on any home I purchase in the future.

This is the second time I have called on Rodney for inspections services, THIS YEAR! My husband and I are currently under contract to purchase a home and based on my first experience, there was no doubt who to call on to perform our inspection. Once again, Rodney was amazing! He was timely, courteous, thorough, and professional. Rodney takes great pride and passion in his work. The report was provided on time based on when he said I would have it and again, his attention to detail makes the reports easy to understand and decipher. Best inspector I've ever encountered! THANK YOU RODNEY!

The inspectors for National Property Inspections were friendly and courteous. They answered the questions I had concerning the property. They put together a extensive and detailed report for me to consider in making my decision. I believe National Property Inspectors did a great job and would recommend their services to anyone who needs a home inspection.

We are buying a foreclosure. Rodney spent 2 hours inspecting the 1287 sq ft home, detailing all of the "fixes" that need to be done. He provided pictures and a thorough explanation of each item. He was friendly, knowledgable and did a wonderful job. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

The overall experience was well worth the cost. When making a purchase/investment as great as a home, $300 is well worth the future existence and peace of mind of owning the home.
Description of Work: Mr. Rodney Twyford from NPI came to our home and conducted the 12 month warranty inspection. He was on time, very thorough, and found items that were not discovered on the initial property inspection. The full report including pictures was sent to me on the same day of the inspection.

I called to make an appointment for an inspection. My phone call was returned very promptly. After several questions it was determined I need an engineer. So I got a couple of referrals. An excellent experience. When I need a home inspection I know who I will call. Many, many thanks!

Rodney was excellent right from the beginning. He introduced himself by name and with his business card, which had a picture. I appreciated this, especially since I was home alone and only new his name. He got right to work and was courteous and respectful throughout the visit. Upon completion of the inspection he walked me trough all his finding or showed pictures of what he discovered. That infared reader is amazing. Rodney explained what we would be receiving , such as a written report, as well as a document listing all he had found to send to the builder for warranty repair. After the inspection we feel even better about our home purchase. We feel this service was well worth the price. Thanks Mr. Twyford
Description of Work: Home inspection for the new home 1 year warranty. Our home was inspected by Rodney Twyford from top to bottom and every nook and cranny imagineable. All the basics, such as roof, attic, insulation, foundation, electrical, plumbing, floors, windows, fireplace, doors and much more to list. He seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. Luckily there were no major issues, but enough small ones that need to be addressed. The write up he sends the next day is amazing and easy to understand. The repairs alone would well exceed the $350 we paid for the inspection.

He is the best?the absolute most wonderful inspector. He gets everything and explains it thorough. He was quite punctual, and had all the tools necessary to do a very thorough job. He was well equipped and very knowledgeable, and he knew what code was for each particular item. I have used him before and have referred him to neighbors. I could not be happier and I would certainly use him again.

Rodney arrived as scheduled and walked all three of the roof areas on our home. He wrote up his findings in a professional report with pictures for support. Without his report I would have had a problem getting the people who built this house to fix their shoddy work.

I felt that if I had the right questions to ask, Rodney would have been more than happy to answer them but he was not otherwise forthcoming with information while he was performing the inspection. That being said, his inspection report was incredibly prompt, having been sent out the same day, and it did have quite an extensive amount of information along with pictures and commentary. I would definitely consider using his service again but would come better armed with questions to ask about the home.
Description of Work: Rodney performed a full house inspection from the foundation crawlspace to the attic. He did not go up on the roof though his report states that he did not because of the age of the home may have made it dangerous to do so.

Thanks for the great report it was a pleasure to do business with you. I do apologize for not readily engaging in conversation during the inspection, some older require more detailed thought to properly evaluate and assess the finding.

The whole process went very well. Mr. Twyford was on time, efficient, and gave me a very thorough explanation of what needed to be done. I would certainly recommend them to any needing a home inspection.
Description of Work: The one year warranty period was coming to an end on my new house. I called this company to perform a complete home inspection because they had good reports on this forum. Not only were they responsive (they came out in less than a week) but Rod Twyford spend well over 3 hrs. doing a complete inspection on the house. By that evening he sent me a 12 page report with pictures letting me know what was needed to be done.

Rodney Twyford performed the inspection. He arrived on time, thoroughly scrutinized the exterior of my home, took pictures of everything that needed repair, and included the pictures in his written report. I was quite impressed with his knowledge of how things should be. In addition, he took the time to explain all defects, educate me on why things (flashing, for instance) should be a specific way, and what will happen if repairs are not made correctly. I will certainly hire Rodney to inspect the property again after repairs are made and then probably every two years to circumvent any problems. I am very pleased.
Description of Work: Living in a townhouse, the Homeowner's Association is responsible for most of the exterior repair and maintenance. I contracted National Property Inspections to inspect the exterior of my property.
