Austin Inspection Service

Inspector did an excellent job in the inspection of my new home. I felt he was VERY thorough. His verbal explanation was easily understood, and his timely submitted written report was most informative. I would definitely recommend and use his services again. more

Thank you for your detailed inspection of our new home. It helped to make our move an easy transition. We will certainly recommend your services. more

Lazy. Crooks. These are the words that come to mind when I think of the service I was given by Billy Meyerdirk at Austin Inspectors Exchange. My wife and I were first time homebuyers and naive in regards to what we should look for when purchasing our first home. We decided to go with AIE because they were running a deal that would give us half off of our pest inspection with the purchase of the home inspection...sounds great on paper. When I arrived at the inspection Billy had already started and was making sure to point out little imperfections throughout the house. Very clever, as it gave me the impression that he was just being picky...wrong again! He continued on, still pointing out minor defects. I asked him about the termite inspection and he said, ""don't worry about it I didn't see any."" Then I asked him how he checks the foundation to which he replied, ""I've been doing this for a long time, I can tell by just looking at it."" After he left, he sent us an email with pictures and vague descriptions of all of the minor issues. \r After receiving his email which basically stated that the house was good to go we went ahead with the purchase. As we were moving in we began to notice several MAJOR issues that were not pointed out during the inspections. For example, the kitchen cabinets are sitting on criss-crossed 2x4s, there is no kick plate!!! Also in the cabinet above the microwave there is an electrical junction box just hanging from the ceiling! Both of these were conveniently left out of the inspection. Then we noticed that there was a hole in the baseboard next to the fireplace. Upon further inspection we discovered that the hole was created by termites which at this point had eaten through about 8 ft of baseboard!!! \r I am having a pest control guy come by this week to see how extensive the damage is but he didn't even mention the hole when he so boldly stated for me not to worry about termites because he hadn't seen any. Of course he didn't see any....HE DIDN'T LOOK FOR THEM!!!! \r I caution anyone considering this company to run in the opposite direction!!! I know my wife and I have definitley learned our lesson that you always get what you pay for...or in this case....less. Good luck with your search.\r \r B\r \r more

Austin Inspectors Exchange-Home Inspection, Home Inspectors have been really great to work with. They are very responsive to calls and always schedule in a timely manner. I have worked with Roy for many years and feel confident in saying that he is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. more

Roy, from Austin Inspectors Exchange, did a really great job. He was on time, dressed professionally and cleanly, and was very organized. He had all the notes and equipment he needed to perform the inspection. Roy was very knowledgeable. He found some things that he would only have known about from previous inspections of similar homes. I think other inspectors might have missed them. I am completely happy with him. He is really good. more
