Final Analysis Home Inspections

This company is one of the best I've had he pleasure of doing business with. I highly recommend Final Analysis Home Inspections to anyone looking for professional, detailed face to face interactions and reports. Dan exceeded all of my expectations.

Superb inspection by Dan & Adam using the latest state of the art detection tools, especially with the gas leak off the fireplace, which was pre-existing for awhile - even my wife sensed it during a prior walkthrough. The inspection result was detailed with few deficiencies listed, along with hi-def pictures.

The best certified duo of home inspectors in Va. Beach area. Dan & Adam were very thorough with their inspection techniques & their latest tools of detection. The house in Sherwood Lakes, VB is 3 years old & they both found an interior gas leak emanating from the gas valve for the den fireplace. Dan went up the roof area & found a shingle cardboard wrapper embedded under a shingle & potentially could have been a water intrusion into the attic. The detailed report was impressive with high def pictures of equipment & spaces inspected, with descriptive context of findings of good or deficiencies. In summary, they've lived up with their "A" rating of quality work, attention to details & down-to-earth demeanor. Strongly referred them to the owners of the same house I'm buying.

Very professional, thorough and friendly

We couldn't be happier with the service we received. We would definitely use Final Analysis again and highly recommend them.

Can't say enough good things. Dan and his assistant were prompt, courteous, clean and thorough. Price was fair and well worth every penny. I highly recommend Dan and would use him again.

I'll start off by saying I'm 26. So buying my first home was both exciting and scary at the same time. I was under contract to purchase a home, but before closing I had Dan perform the home inspection . As soon as the builder found out I had hired Dan to do my inspection he freaked out. I was threatened to have to pay a deposit for using Dan along with other scare tactics. The builder wanted me to hire a different home inspector. And Im glad I stuck with Dan. He was prompt, very professional, and kept me informed throughout the inspection process. He remained diligent. Even while the builder sent a total of three people to watch him do the inspection and attempt to intimidate him. Dan never wavered. He found multiple deficiencies in the home and I ultimately ended up getting out of the contract because of those problems. Thanks to Dan I avoided a bad situation.

First of scheduling an appt was very fast and easy, I got a reminder email which was awesome!. The appt was set for 9a.m., my husband and I arrived 10 mins. before thinking that we were going to be the first to arrive at the property. Surprisingly enough these guys were already there : ). We introduced ourselves and Dan said we are here to check everything and we are not leaving until we finish! How awesome and conforting was to hear this. Then, as we are waiting on our realtor to show, these guys are already walking around the property and checking the exterior. My husband started asking Dan questions about what they were seeing and he did not mind answering at all while inspecting. My realtor tried to cut him off a few times while Dan was explaining and he just stopped so he was not being disrespectful to her, so we decided to go into another place of the house to talk in private.We knew exexactly that our realtor felt threaten by Dan's knowledge and experience! Our realtor did not wanted him to kill her deal lol : ). We as the buyers need these kind of people Dan and Adam because they see what we cannot see and they will save us from making the biggest mistake in our life. "Buying a piece of junk that will cost a fortune"

Dan arrived at the house early. He was prepared, professional, and pleasant. Before I arrived, Dan had begun inspecting the outside of the home. He was diligent and managed time effectively from the beginning of his visit until everything had been looked over. Dan and his colleague tag-teamed the space; Dan was looking over the first level of the home and the pool house while his partner inspected the second floor. As the inspection was taking place, Dan was willing to answer all of my questions in a way that I was able to understand both the issue and the solution. Dan used the most up to date technology and equipment to ensure that my home was inspected with excellence. After the inspection was complete, Dan took the time to summarize the inspection with me and my realtor. He was thorough and patient in this process, again answering all questions asked of him. He emailed a report that contained digital photos and descriptions of any issues. The report categorized his findings into different sections- each section reflected any deficiencies he saw during the inspection. His website/report is easy to navigate. I would recommend Final Analysis to anyone without any hesitation. Should I need services that Dan offers in the future, I would use his company.

The house is a large beach home on the water and only 8 years old. Dan and Adam did an absolutely detailed and professional inspection on the home. They thoroughly inspected the home from top to bottom, and the entire time informed me what they were doing, what they were looking for, what I should be looking for as a home owner, and recommendations and suggestions on what to do with what they found and what they didn't find. They came into the house and immediately went right to work. They were in the house for over three hours and they went through every nook and cranny of the house. Although the seller had previously had a home inspection by another company, and I'm sure other home inspections were done before that, they still found a number of items the previous inspector did not find and even a number of issues that were not to code when the house was originally built in 2006 that nobody else apparently noticed. Although the house was in good shape, they discovered a number of issues that would have been very costly to repair if we had relied on the previous inspection. My stepson is also an ASHI certified home inspector in another state, and even he was very impressed with their work and their final documentation. Not only would I use them again if I buy another home, I will use them to inspect any contractors I use to do any work on the home after I purchase it. They have my highest recommendation!

I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. My experience with Dan and his team confirms the excellent reputation they have in the area. There was a problem with the AC system in the home I was purchasing and Dan pointed out all the problems with it and recommended a major repair and/ or servicing. The selling agent scheduled a repair using the home warranty. Thankfully, Dan had to come back for a follow up inspection since the gas wasn't turned on during the first inspection. When I arrived the second time for the follow up inspection, the selling agent and my own agent (believe it or not) were both trying to hoodwink me into believing that the AC had indeed been fixed. They both were doing this routine of going under the AC vents and telling me that the AC was now working. They could allegedly "feel" the cool air coming out. Basically, they thought I was an idiot and couldn't tell that the AC was not cooling the house at all. But Dan finally came and set them straight. Although the selling agent tried to browbeat him, implying that he was not qualified to inspect the AC, Dan stood his ground and pointed out that pretty much nothing was done to fix the problem and had the facts to back it up. Needless to say, another repair had to be scheduled and Dan kindly came back for a third time! This time, the AC was finally serviced properly. If honesty is the currency of home inspectors, then Dan is a billionaire in my mind...because his word is GOLD.... PURE GOLD.

I am a real estate agent and I am involved in about 9 transactions a month. I say that because I see A LOT being in the industry. My wife and I are purchasing a home for ourselves to live in. I have seen Final Analysis' inspections on countless occasions and I knew that he would be the best choice to inspect my home. Let me be clear, Dan is one of the best inspectors in the area. They are fast, professional, and they really do see things that other people overlook. You won't go wrong choosing Dan Rogers with Final Analysis for your home inspection.

I called Final Analysis to schedule a Home Inspector to inspect a house I'm buying. Unfortunately their schedule wouldn't allow them to do the inspection but what happened next was truly remarkable. First, the representative (I think he was the owner of the company) gave me a helpful tips on selecting a quality home inspector, told me what to watch out for and what questions to ask when comparing inspectors and THEN he recommended one of his competitors!! If that's not enough he voluntarily offered to answer any questions I had about the home inspection process (we talked for 20 mins) and to review the final home inspection report produced by another company if I had any concerns about the quality to the inspection! You don't see that kind of world class customer service everyday! I will recommend Final Analysis to anyone looking for home inspection services. Thanks Final Analysis!!

I contacted Final Analysis to conduct a pre-purchase home inspection on a residential property in an exclusive area of Virginia Beach, Va. I did not use the "home inspection specialist" suggested by the real estate broker. I telephonically contacted several firms on Angie's List and Yelp. I have some knowledge of building construction and have no patience for "home inspectors" that obtained their credentials in two days and were not general contractors. I talked to Dan Rogers at Final Analysis and when he said "I work for you, not the broker or the seller" and I know local building codes and required specifications, I knew I had the right company. He and his associate, Adam, took the inspection professionally and went through the house with a fine tooth comb. I accompanied Dan, and he provided a full HEPA/Painters suit and filter mask for me when we crawled under the house. He took time to point out foundation concerns, damp areas, damaged and loose insulation and rodent invasion. He even pointed out poor electrical work that had been installed for a tenant's hot tub...the 220 volt cable was laying in water! Later he and Adam went through the attic, found insulation problems, soffit's blocked off, rodent infestation, poor building craftsmanship and venting mistakes. He was unbiased and scientific in approach; he would say an item meets code, but is not satisfactory and found problems I would have overlooked..an unvented gas fireplace, inappropriate range vent hood, windows inop, toilet vent stacks closed off; etc. His final report was inclusive, with photos pointing out defects and areas needing repair. I had the report online within the day!!! I sent his report to good friend, a residential building contractor in California. He is a retired Lt. from a major city Fire Department. He reviewed the Final Analysis Report and said "forget about this house, it's a money pit....... I truly believe Final Analysis should double their fee. They saved me at least $100,000 and a year of grief. They were fair to the seller and did a responsible job. If we attempt to purchase another property, Final Analysis we be there !!!!

Perfect. Highly detailed report, great professionalism. Have recommended to several friends.

Dan went over it with a fine-tooth comb and found several issues that ultimately may cause us to walk away from the property. The biggest issue was potential asbestos next to the HVAC duct. The sellers just had it inspected 2 yrs ago when they bought the house and their inspector did not find any of these major issues. I spoke with every qualified inspector in the hampton roads area, looked at all of their resumes, and read all reviews prior to picking an inspector and Dan was clearly the most qualified. This was proven during our actual inspection. Even our seasoned realtor was impressed. Go with Dan from Final Analysis, you won't regret it.

Everything, from initial contact to finished reports, was excellent. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable and after an extensive inspection of the house took the time to go over their findings. That evening we received the full report (and a summary) that was clear and concise. Thanks Dan and Adam - what a pleasure it is to work with such dedicated professionals.

Dan and Adam were our inspector's. They arrived early, were extremely thorough and took the time to talk about all the potentially concerning things they found with me and with the seller with my agreement. The same day they emailed me a report that was incredibly filled with detail about the house. Not just the defects but details about all the systems that is good for us to know as well as recommendations for the future. They took many pictures and left us with a document that will not only help in the purchase of the home but in the future ownership and maintenance of the home as well! I could not have been more pleased.

Everything went quite well and was professional. The owner and an assistant were punctual. They went through the house and the outdoors and took notes of everything that needed to be corrected. Since I have never had a home inspection, I had nothing to compare it to but I was satisfied with his findings. Final Analysis had many positive reviews and that is why I chose them.

I join others on the list (I called Final Analysis based on what I had read here) in highly recommending Dan. We moved here from Northern VA, and I had high expectations for attention to detail based on our previous experiences. Dan met and exceeded those expectations. He believes in the quality of his work, and I admired the fact that he prefers to receive referrals based on his reputation, and refuses to be "linked" to any realtors. He did it all, including walking the full length of the roof.

My home inspection went very well. Dan Rogers and his colleague did an excellent job. They really look out for the customer. Even through I wasn't there for my inspection he took the time to explain things to me over the phone. I love that he is very detail and provided me with all the facts.

We were unable to complete it due to utilities not being on. Dan was willing to under very limited notice come back out in a pinch to complete the inspection before we closed. There was an additional fee for that second visit, however, it was far as he was booked solid and honored his word to us to squeeze us in. Very happy with his inspection and report. He was also very quick on turn around with the report. He offers ease of paying online and billing invoices online (making it easy to see prior to services being rendered and for saving for your files). Our realtor suggested Dan. I would use him and recommend his services to any family or friends (or if i ever need them again).

Found a couple of things in our new construction home that were not installed properly. We would not have noticed them ourselves, until something ended up breaking in a couple of years. Was well worth the money to invest in some peace of mind!

Final Analysis is fantastic! Professional, courteous, thorough, timely, knowledgable - all things that a home buyer needs thier inspector to be! The day of the inspection was a cold, rainy and generally nasty one. It had been raining / snowing nonstop for 3 days prior to the inspection and there was standing water everywhere, including the crawl space of the home. That did not stop Dan and his partner from climbing onto the roof and crawling around on the ground through pools of water. They did what they needed to do despite the conditions. I am extrememly satisfied with Final Analysis and would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a qualified home inspector.

Dan and Adam were absolutely great to work with. They arrived ahead of time to take photos of the exterior. They then came in and introduced themselves and described what they would be doing and how the process worked. They worked very efficiently and were very knowledgeable about all the structures and functions in the house. They had all the necessary equipment to detect any defects that might be present in a house. Dan determined right away that we had a leak in our propane tank and I was able to call a technician immediately to take care of the problem. The inspection was very thorough and I am confident they discovered the issues that needed to be addressed before putting our home on the market. It also gave us great piece of mind that there were no major issues that might show up on a closing home inspection. The whole process from finding Final Analysis on Angie's List and deciding to hire them to the final report was perfectly streamlined. The website allows for easy scheduling, billing, general information, and obtaining the final report. The final report was extremely impressive and very user friendly. This company is organization at its finest. Not only is their organization superb, their customer service is top notch. Dan and Adam demonstrate the professionalism, integrity, knowledge and kindness I wish every company could provide. Final Analysis Home Inspection is very highly recommended!!
