HAPPY CLIENTS
THE BEST HOME INSPECTORS IN TAMPA
“Sandpiper home inspection was amazing.. we bought a house and Kevin was able to see every little problem. My realtor never saw such a detailed inspection. I recommend sandpiper for all buyers. You don’t want to miss any problems when you are buying a house.”
“I can’t recommend Kevin enough. He was very thorough with our new home and made sure to explain everything in detail. Excellent communication with him throughout and had no problems whatsoever. Friendly, on-time, and knowledgeable. Thanks Kevin!”
“Excellent experience, Kevin did a very detailed inspection and promptly provided me a full report and lots of pictures. I highly recommend this company and I will not hesitate using them in the future.”
“I was so impressed by the service we received. Kevin is very thorough with his inspections and by far the most reasonabale.
Probably the best part of our entire home buying process… could not have been any happier!
Highly recommend ! Thanks Kevin”
“Kevin performed a thorough inspection, was helpful in answering any questions we had, and produced a detailed report with pictures and videos that serves as an excellent resource for planning out our future home repairs. It was an overall pleasure.”
“Kevin was knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to explain each section of his report. The process of buying a home can feel overwhelming at times, but Kevin made sure that we understood everything he found and even categorized it into levels of importance so we had a clear picture of what to do next after we closed on the house. A Great Experience!”
“The service we received from Kevin was so amazing! My husband and I were blown away by his knowledge, his help, his kindness and patience. I’m a first time home-buyer and had an annoying amount of questions. Kevin never once made me feel like he was bothered. I felt like a VIP and I am nowhere near that. I would recommend him again and again! He completely turned around an otherwise nerve-racking experience.”
“Kevin is awesome! Reasonably priced, thorough, and super helpful! My husband and I are first time home buyers and scared as heck. Kevin has set our minds at ease and has been honest and helpful through the process. He has saved us money with his honesty and is extremely impressive with his customer service. I contacted him through email on a holiday and not only did he respond within 10 mins he continued to stay in touch when needed throughout the process and even now with any questions we have..even after the inspection! Sandpiper is highly recommended !! Thank you Kevin!”
“I agree with a previous poster. Kevin’s service and support was by far the easiest part of buying our new house. He broke his report down into Critical Repairs, things we need to Worry About, and plan to Replace in the Future. He Separated the house into systems that made it easy to understand, Structural, Electrical, Plumbing, Environmental, etc. so it made things simple to understand. He spent almost 45 minutes up in the attic making no critters, pest, water leaks, or problems with the roof were occurring. He documented things as small as a missing cover plate screws to a GFI Outlet that was not functioning properly. A dripping drain line on the HVAC Unit he found was about to cause damage to a beautiful wood floor. Lots of details and facts to back up his work. His inspection took close to 2 1/2 hours. Would I use Kevin again and recommend him to others. Absolutely!!! Thanks Kevin.”
WHY DO I NEED A HOME INSPECTION?
Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments you will ever make. You should know exactly what to expect, both inside and out, in terms of needed and future repairs and maintenance. For example, stains on the ceiling could be the result of a single incident or indicate a constant roof leak. A fresh coat of paint might be hiding serious structural concerns. The home inspector interprets these and other clues, then presents a professional opinion about the condition of the property so that you can avoid unpleasant surprises. After the home inspection you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase and be able to make your decision with confidence.
WHY HIRE SANDPIPER?
I am a well-qualified home inspector with experience that is hard to match. My work experience and training have lead me to be detail-oriented and customer-focused, and we provide the best Tampa home inspections.
In addition to my home inspection qualifications, I continually keep myself informed on the latest developments in the industry. I take pride in the quality of my work and want to make sure I provide a thorough inspection. We use the most advanced home inspection equipment to help us spot what many other inspectors would miss.
HOW MUCH DOES A HOME INSPECTION COST
A professional home inspection is an investment. If you are typically a comparison shopper (like me), resist the temptation to allow pricing to be your major concern. The price of a home inspection for the average house is around $350 – $450. Beware of those charging less. Bargain inspectors may be new in the business or may only spend 1-2 hours on your inspection. I spend 4 – 5 hours or more on each and every inspection. It takes time to properly inspect the entire home, review the images taken and perform property research. As is true with other professionals – you really do get what you pay for. A single defect missed by your “discount” Inspector could easily cost you 100 times what you saved. The price of a home inspection represents a very small percentage of the overall price of a home that will likely be the largest single purchase you ever make. This is the best money you will ever spend.
ELECTRONIC
HOME INSPECTION REPORTS
We provide you with a thorough home inspection that is more detailed and comprehensive than your average inspection. In addition to that, we also provide you with a clear, illustrated, and easy to read home inspection report that makes negotiations, repairs, and finding listed issues again much easier.
