Perfect.

Very well

I contracted a home inspection for a condo based on the reviews from list members. However, I did not receive the same quality service others feel they experienced. Mr. Clouse did not provide an exhaustive review of the property and the final report did not address areas of concern that I identified specifically for you as noted to my agent and the inspection agency. Now I have a report that gives me some leverage for repairs but not replacement of items I wanted replaced. Furthermore, Mr. Clouse reported that the hvac unit was not vented and did not provide much detail, claiming he was not qualified to provide further input. Yet, the qualification is exactly what I would expect from a home inspector. After receiving the less than expected review, I had to hire another company to provide a more detailed report, costing much more than if I went with another company. If you a looking for a home inspector that can fully assess a property for purchase, then look elsewhere. This is not the company for you.

Everything went very smooth and we were very pleased with the service and information provided.

I was thinking of buying a foreclosure property. Darryl discovered signs of foundation breakage and suggested I get a plumber out because the water turn-on valve was padlocked. The plumber got the padlock removed and sure enough there were 2 gushers coming out of both sides of the concrete foundation. The seller subsequently lowered their asking price, but it was not enough to cover possible costs involved in fixing the foundation and plumbing problems. I did not buy the property. Darryl and the plumber saved me a lot of headaches!

Very well. I enjoyed working with Rodney. He was thorough, polite, and easy to talk to. He went through the report with me immediately after the inspection, answered all my questions and explained my confusions, caught everything I saw and more, and his report was amazing! So detailed, organized, and easy to determine the faults he found. His report was well organized and contained great pictures that made it easy to find the problem areas. He was honest to tell me which defincies were big and those that were minor. And his estimate was on target and comparable to other inspectors in the area.

The inspection was performed on a new home and was extremely detailed from start to finish. From what I saw, every component of the home was checked out with a fine-toothed comb. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs a home inspection. Mr. Clouse was very thorough and explained the pros and cons of the construction methods used by the builder. As an added bonus, I even received a military discount.

Well.

Overall, they did a great job. Took about 4-5 hours, longer than I expected, but he was very thorough. Also, very informative and provided a PDF copy. Before he left, he went over the inspection with me.

Darryl found the source! He is so thorough. I have had two roofing companies out and they weren't able to find the source. Darryl found it on the roof and fixed it for me while he was on the roof. It was a plumbing vent that needed caulking. I am building a new house and will defnitely use him for my phase inspections this time around too!

They are professional

Darrell was very punctual, worked diligently and then very patiently explained his finding. His price was exactly as quoted.

Darryl Clouse of San Antonio Home Inspectors has inspected my former home in May 2003 and current home in August 2007. He's very thorough and takes the time to explain his report and to answer questions. Over the past few months we have had some cracking in our sheet rock and were concerned about possible foundation problems. We wanted to have this resolved before doing some other work on the house. I called Darryl to get his recommendation for a structural engineer. He offered to come out and look at our problem himself. He was at the house within 30 minutes and spent at least another 30 minutes looking over the situation. He offered up a couple of other options to try before getting a costly structural engineer. He didn't charge and wouldn't even accept a few dollars for gas.
