I had an issue with a sub par report and inspection conducted by another firm. I reached out to Young looking for them to provide a second opinion. I spoke with Dan Burns during my initial phone call. Dan spent nearly half an hour on the phone with me discussing my issue without any pressure to hire his firm. I then decided to hire Young for inspection, and the president of the firm, Jim Fahs, then contacted me prior to the inspection in order to get as much background information as he could. Jim performed the work and did an excellent job. He also was very quick to respond to the follow up questions I had. I hired my first home inspector strictly over email. They were not satisfactory at all. I spoke with nearly 15 home inspectors when interviewing people to conduct the follow up inspection and Young s staff was far and away the best. I would recommend Young to anyone. Their professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding.

Dan, from Young Home Inspections, came out to inspect a home I had under contract. He arrived early to our appointment and started the exterior inspection of the home before I arrived. He was very thorough, detailed in his explanations and friendly. Money well spent, thank you!

Dan the inspector was very knowledgeable, polite, prompt & professional. He was very thorough in his inspection. Their report is very detailed and easy to follow and comes in a hard 3 ring binder. They also included a 4 point survey to present to an insurance company if required. Price was originally quoted at $395 and then reduced to $370 when I mentioned the Angie's List $25 off coupon. One of the most professional companies I have ever hired. Well worth the money.

Mr. Fahs is a lovely person to deal with. He got back to me promptly to set up the appointment for the inspection. He arrived on time, and quickly did his job. I had some questions afterwards, and he took my call after hours and spent an amazing amount of time patiently answering all of my questions and giving me additional information. I also appreciate that he sent me an invoice (with a pre-stamped envelope!). So many people want their check on the spot, and I find Mr. Fahs' way of doing business refreshing.

Categorized and completed a very through inspection and detailed every item that needed to be fixed, needed replacement, or may need repair. All info was presented in a three ring binder and categorized with detailed punch lists of items inspected and recommendations for deficient items. Very professional and detailed staff and report.

John Susen arrived at the house first thing in the morning, even before I got there. He was friendly and professional, and he treated me with respect (I am a single woman who looks very young and he did not talk down to me or assume I wouldn't understand something). He took the time to tell me what he was looking at and the way things should work. The inspection was very thorough. The problems he found were minor for the most part, but based on his report I was able to convince the seller to credit me for half of the roof replacement cost. I was very pleased with the whole experience and I feel confident that the house is sound and in good condition for its age.

Young didn't leave a single stone unturned. They found lots of points that were bargaining points in the sale and have since served as a road map for fixing up an old home. There were no surprises, and they have been great about answering followup questions. Though their price was somewhat high, it was worth every penny to have the piece of mind.

YOUNG HOME INSPECTIONS WAS THE HOME INSPECTION RECOMMENDED BY OUR BUYER'S AGENT. THE INSPECTOR WAS VERY PROMPT AND PROFESSIONAL. HE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS GOING OVER THE 3 STORY HOME WE WERE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING. WE WERE PROVIDED WITH A THICK BINDER THAT CLEARLY DETAILED EACH AREA INSPECTED. THE BINDER INCLUDED PAGES OF THE INSPECTION NOTES, INCLUDING FINDINGS AND ACTION RECOMMENDED, WITH DETAILED NOTES OF RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. ALSO INCLUDED WERE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INSPECTION PROCESS AND DEFINITIONS OF TERMS CROSS REFERENCED TO THE REFERENCE NUMBER FOR EACH INSPECTION POINT FOR EASY UNDERSTANDING. THE INSPECTOR WAS SO THOROUGH, HE FOUND ONE SMALL HOLE IN A BEAM IN THE CRAWL SPACE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE BY A TERMITE, BUT FORTUNATELY WAS NOT. WHEN THE INSPECTION WAS COMPLETE, THE INSPECTOR WENT OVER HIS FINDINGS WITH US LINE BY LINE. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOUNG HOME INSPECTIONS.
