NPI completed our 11th month new home inspection. We were very impressed with their work--the inspector was extremely thorough and professional. I truly wished we had hired them when we first moved in because they caught so many things that our move-in inspector simply missed. I highly recommend!

NPI was very professional and extremely thorough! We are buying a house in the Austin area and we are from out of state. NPI was so easy to work with and made this whole out of state transaction very smooth. They were also able to do the inspection on very short notice, which we greatly appreciated. We gladly and highly recommend them for anyone needing a home inspection done.

I hired Ed to come out and inspect my new home recently, I was a bit skeptical hiring an inspector since in the past I hadn't had good experiences, but Ed did my co workers home and saved him about $5000. I thought for the investment of over $200,000 a few hundred dollars towards inspecting my home would be well worth it. Ed was very professional and was able to squeeze me in on such a short notice.

He found shingles loose on my roof which I would of never known about, siding problems, electrical problems and other things that I would of never even know to think of. He took excellent photos very clear, explained in detail the issues, and sent them directly to my builder and myself. He called me we went over everything thoroughly. He takes pride in his work and is very good at it, very detailed oriented.

He will be conducting the inspection on my moms home when it's completed and now another co worker will be using him too. I would highly recommend this company for that extra peace of mind.

I have a highly positive experience working with Ed. He inspected the house thoroughly and answered our questions during the process. At the end of the inspection, he highlighted some of his main findings and recommendations on how to correct the issues. The final report is of very high quality with lots of pictures which will be a valuable reference before and after we move in. I feel our money was very well spent.

I did not meet the inspector and a report was provided. The most important thing about an expensive inspection is that someone skilled inspects the property for damage and problems and reports them. The inspection was done in a manner where they/he offered in writing to return money to release them from multiple issues missed. They offered it in "everyone's best interest", which is over speaking for a client with large bills. Every contractor in the house to repair clear water damage has asked if a proper home inspection was completed.

Scheduling the home inspection was easy and we were able to get the inspection scheduled in a timely manner. Ed arrived a few minutes before the scheduled appointment, and his promptness was greatly appreciated. He was quite thorough and professional throughout the whole process. I also appreciated how thoughtful he was of our two terriers during the inspection! Ed's review of the findings were easy to understand and the report is extensive and helpful as well. We highly recommend NPI! Thanks, Ed!

Being a first time home buyer and really had no idea there was so much to owning a home. Working with Ed put my mind at ease. He was flexible in meeting with me and was very thorough with the home inspection. Ed was very professional and gave me a complete review of the area of concerns. Would definitely recommend.

It was a pleasure working with Ed. With a short 6-day option period Ed was able to schedule us in and inspect our future home. He was very thorough and precise with his findings. Before leaving he gave me a run-down of the major concerns that needed to be addressed and that would be included in our report. The format of the report was clear and understandable. I would definitely recommend Ed to any family and friends that needed inspection services.

Ed did a great job for our Home inspection on the Home we are purchasing. I was able to schedule the Inspection on a Friday and the Inspection and Report were completed by Monday night during a short 7 day inspection period. Ed was very thorough and knowledgeable. Ed was friendly and cared about the quality of the Home. I would highly recommend Ed for your Home inspection. I plan to use NPI for my future Home inspections

I had the opportunity to work with Ed via referral and it was one of the best referrals I have received. My fiance and I built our home, which caused tight scheduling towards the end, however, Ed was flexible. He was extremely thorough and transparent. In addition, he is just an absolute pleasure to work with. Last, but not least, his wife Barb (who handles the billing and most emails) is amazing and quick to respond. Overall, this was a fantastic expreience. I would highly recommend Nation Property Inspection for your home.

I cannot imagine ever using anyone else for something so important. I had the tremendous fortune of "discovering" Ed (and Barb!) several years ago, quite by chance, and have been a loyal customer ever since! During inspection, Ed will point out and discuss any items of concern, and is always responsive to any and all questions; then and thereafter.

Best of all, I know I can have 100% confidence in the inspection report; typically received in less than 24 hours. In addition to being extremely thorough and responsive, Ed also makes every effort to be respectful of the seller(s) as well, putting everything back exactly as he found it, and taking his shoes off and putting them back on multiple times (it was raining that day), to keep from tracking anything inside. Ed's lovely wife, Barb, runs the "business" end. She, too, is an absolute pleasure; always willing to accommodate my "need it yesterday" requests if possible, and kind enough to arrange and coordinate termite inspection as a courtesy. Basically, I love these two, and so will you!

Ed was hired to inspect my home because my first year in the home was approaching. I wanted to make sure I was not missing foundation, electrical, and plumbing issues. I was highly impressed by his professionalism and thoroughness. To be honest, Ed walked me more than my builder. Thank God there were no "Big Ticket" items. There were a few cosmetic issues. Ed not only explained the cause and resolution, he laid them out in a PDF file with a table of content, pictures and a description.

I forwarded to my builder and work has already began. Not only was the inspection affordable, but Ed made the experience educational. I didn't expect that. Highly recommended. Highly.

I found Ed through a Yelp searching looking for someone to do a builder warranty inspection before my warranty expired. I based my decision on his excellent Yelp reviews and the fact that he was local. Barb got me scheduled quickly and helped answer any questions I had. Ed is extremely knowledgeable and very throughout with his inspection process.

At the end of the inspection, he went through all the items he found and explained why it was an issue. He also sent me his full report the next morning so I could have all the items he found addressed to my builder immediately. I highly recommend Ed to anyone who needs or is looking for an inspector in the area.

Ed is a very knowledgeable professional with great attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly explain his findings. The complete inspection was well worth the money - I found Ed to be incredibly priced for the value that he provides. Finally, I couldn't believe how quickly available and accurate the report was; It was ready in less than 12 hours. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Ed and would certainly use his services again and recommend to my friends.

Ed is great! Very attention to detail, takes the time to explain everything to you. Takes pictures and give a great explanation on what is going on in that area. I have used Ed several times and I am never disappointed. I have recommended him to many others who also have been very happy with his work. I have even recommended him to my realtor friends who need a good inspector.

Had Ed do some inspections on our new home construction. He was a great resource, great value and really impressive in both his knowledge and final report. I was able to take that report to my builder for resolution, and it put my mind at ease knowing someone was looking out in my best interest. I have already recommended Ed to others, and will continue doing so in the future. I plan to have him come back for a 3rd inspection at the 11 month period on our new home.
