Reasonable price for a home inspection. A detailed report was provided which included pictures of problem areas. Took payment via PayPal, which was very convenient. He doesn't do pest inspection, so had to go with another company for that.

Work with the inspector who was on on time and very observant. He did send me a detailed report including pictures, however none was sent out to actual building but had no issue forwarding the email to the builder. Look forward to working with company and have advised several people also working with my company to contact San Antonio home inspectors with their new homes being built as well

I have used San Antonio Home Inspectors on several occassions over the past 6 years and have been very pleased with their professionalism and thoroghness. They are friendly, respectful, knowledgable too. As a real estate professional, this is one of the names I always provide to my clients when they are selecting inspection services.

Wow! This is the home inspector you want on your side. As good as this recent builder is, Darryl still caught important repairs that needed to be done at each stage. Darryl is extremely thorough and explains everything as well as the importance of having it done correctly, that is, what could happen if it isn't fixed. He truly keeps up with all the different building codes. And he is more than happy for us to follow him around while he does the inspection, including asking if either or both of us wanted to go up and see the attic or get on the roof. Each inspection includes an inspection report with photos and comments regarding what should be fixed and what to keep an eye out for in the future. We can close on our house knowing that all is in order. Darryl is a consummate professional who really knows his stuff. The offrice staff is friendly and helpful too. If you are having a house built, make sure to get it inspected (1) prior to the foundation being poured, (2) pre-drywall, and (3) final inspection. You'll be SOOO glad you did! AAA+++
Description of Work: This is the third time I've used San Antonio Home Inspectors. My husband and I had him do the final inspection for the house we purchased in 2006, and he caught some major issues. We've used him twice this year, once for the pre-drywall inspection and again for the final inspection on the home we just had built.

The Home Inspector was awesome. I am in another state buying a home so I gave my parents permission to overlook the building process and they are quite hard to please and Darryl Clouse went above and beyond in pleasing them. The builder of our house was there and he did not let him being their intimidate him or stray him from inspecting like he should. Within 24 hours I have received the full inspection with pictures. He was professional and very thorough and I will be using him for our final walk through of our new build. I just want to thank him for his time and look forward to working with him again soon. Mrs.Polanco
Description of Work: He did a pre drywall inspection for our new build in Cibolo, TX. He checked all the framing, electrical and plumbing that was exposed and the outside paneling.

It is pretty straight forward. He inspected the house, arrived on time, didn't let the homeowner who wasn't very welcoming keep him from doing his job. And he took his time and did a thorough inspection and provided a very detailed report within 24 hours.
Description of Work: We needed the home we were going to purchase to be inspected. We had read good reviews about this company and decided to try it. It seemed to cost more than some others but he did a fantastic job.

I searched Angie's List and found top rated San Antonio Home Inspectors.I was buying a HUD foreclosure home and I wanted a complete inspection to protect myself prior to closing. I made an appointment and Darryl Clouse showed up early and the inspection began. Darryl encouraged us to follow him during the inspection process to answer any questions we might have and to learn about the home we were purchasing. Darryl Clouse is a real professional. I would recommend Darryl to anyone needing a home inspection.

He was professional and provided a detailed report. The only part that we were not happy with is the fact that he did not perform a roof inspection which we expected he would perform. He recommended that we get a roofer to come and inspect the roof but based on the 10 day period we were unable to get this done and had to walk away from the contract/home. He should disclose this prior to taking on the inspection project. I have had prior inspections done by other companies and they have inspected the roof as part of the inspection. Due to cost of repairing a roof, this is an important part of the inspection process.

Response from San Antonio Home Inspectors
I would first like to thank Member for taking the time to comment on Angie’s List. I would also like to thank you for pointing out my being professional and providing a detailed report. The Texas Real Estate Commission standards, does not require an inspector to walk a roof if it is inaccessible, or could potentially be hazardous. The roof was inspected from ground level with binoculars. This roof showed signs of past water penetration in the attic space. Any signs of water penetration should be further evaluated by a roofing company. Thank you again for taking the time to post your opinion on Angie’s List. Good luck with your future home searches.

Darryl was there on time, was courteous and very thorough . He took the time to explain things and encouraged me to actively participate. He was patient while explaining even the most basic questions for this first time buyer. The best advice was to read through the report 3 times before making the final decision. I chose not to purchase the house, it just needed too much expert help. I will be using this company again.

Excellent home inpection/pest inspection/sprinkler testing service. Tried a few other companies on Angie's list and this one was the only one that answered the phone rather than leaving a voicemail. Very professional and brought all equipment required such as ladder and testing equipment. Darryl Clouse is very patient with all of our questions while we tagged along throughout the inspection. He took lots of pictures and did not rush the job. He then sat down with us and explained all of his findings and made sure we were happy with everything before taking his leave. He pointed out quite a few things that we never even noticed and was very familiar with the current code requirements. Pricing was very reasonable since it including the pest and sprinkler inspection. The inspection was done Saturday afternoon and the reports were emailed to us on Sunday morning! We addressed many of the issues with the home owners and they agreed to make the repairs and we are going to close on our new home soon! We highly recommend this company.

BEST INSPECTION EVER: (1) They performed the house/pool/termite inspection in ONE appointment...That alone saved me a couple hundred dollars AND additional hours/days off work. (2) They actually WANT you to go through the house WITH them...to quote them..'please be my shadow and ask questions'... I have bought a few homes and I have had some really good inspectors, but this was the FIRST one that asked that I go 'through the house with them'...Darryl explained alot, let me ask questions so I could learn, and was honest and knowledgeable...I know I will use them again, because after my inspection, I cancelled the contract on the house...and when I look at new houses, I use what I learned from them when I look at other homes before I even make an offer...and I already asked them to pencil me in on my next offer...

Daryl came out and completed a home inspection and did an amazing job. He was on time and projected a very business like manner. He actually got up on the the roof and looked the entire roof over for problems. He also performed a termite inspection on the property. When the inspection was complete he walked me through the entire inspection including showing me the termites he had found. When my husband arrived 30 minutes late Daryl went through the entire inspection all over again for my husband. Daryl was extremely professional and courteous throughout the entire process. I still cannot believe he personally went up on the roof to inspect it as all the other inspection companies I called stated their personnel only used binos. I would refer this company to my friends and family in a minute. I do not usually write reviews but, in this case I was very pleased with my service.

Make sure you have plenty of timeWrite down any concerns you have prior to the inspectionPrint a copy of your report for your warranty company keep a copy of the inspection for your recordsagain ask questions these guys do not mind answering them at all in fact they will check out something if ask them to.
Description of Work: San Antonio Home Inspectors is a local company that provided me with what I consider a very comprehensive 1 year home inspection. What made this experience even better was that every thing was explained to me as well as recommendations for remedy. The inspection took a few hours but pictures and notes were taken to go along with the report. I did not receive my full report until the next day but I am fine with that, to me this meant that the inspector gave due consideration to the inspection and not to time. I recommended this company to our neighbor as well.

Darryl did a very thorough inspection and conducted himself in a very professional manner. He explained his inspection findings in person on the day of the inspection and delivered the report the next day. I got the peace of mind I needed to make a decision on the home that I was considering to buy.

The Clouse family interaction was quick, responsive, and thorough. We were in a bit of a time crunch and Teresa was polite and calming. She scheduled Darryl to come out on short notice which was great. We had contacted other inspectors but none would accomodate or even consider sqeezing us in. Both times Darryl would arrive at the house early and I would meet up with him later to go over his findings. He was very informative and gave accurate descriptions on current code and where the house was in relevance. We were willing to make upgrades to our prospective new home but after the inspection we realized we were taking on too much thanks to a informative report. That report was emailed to us in full before close of business the same day. Once we had another house in sight we quickly contacted SAHI again and Darryl was quick to respond and made himself immediately available. Once again we had a full imformative report both in hand by close of business the same day. We have been living in our new home for almost six months now.
Description of Work: We actually used San Antonio Home Inspectors twice. I met with Darryl each time for a full inspection on two houses.

Teresa Clouse was very professional, always corresponded quickly, and was very understanding with my husband's and my work schedule. At one point I was unable to give her the check, but explained that I was caught up and would give it to her the day after. She didn't even make an issue of it and I gave her the check the next day without an issue. Darryl Clouse scheduled the inspection immediately and was very thorough. After the builders said that the inspection was unnecessary and a waste of money I was worried. But Darryl discovered that there was no insulation in part of the attic. He also found spots where there was insufficient insulation. In the San Antonio summer our cooling costs would have been expensive had Darryl not done the inspection. Supposedly the contractors that insulated our house were fired, but I don't know if I believe that. Darryl also discovered various other deficiencies that I would have missed. The contractors were more willing to fix the deficencies after Darryl's inspection even though my husband had voiced his concerns before. All in all the inspection was worth the money and if I ever had to buy a house in San Antonio again I would ask SAN ANTONIO HOME INSPECTORS to do the inspection. DO Contact Teresa and Darryl Clouse directly. They are personable and professional. DONT Worry about what the home builder says. Although, some home inspectors find small things so that you don't feel bad about spending the money, in this economy it's worth the money to ensure that you house was built right and that your house will be re-sellable in the future.
