Our Client Testimonials

Here’s what our inspection clients have to say about their experience with NPI.

Jaime R.
Absolutely thrilled with Steve's pre-inspection! Not only did he do an exceptional job, but he's also a great guy - super nice and relatable. His thoroughness and professionalism were matched only by his friendly demeanor. Couldn't recommend him enough! Five stars for Steve's outstanding work and fantastic personality
Alex H.
Steve was wonderful! I needed a home inspection done ASAP, and Steve made sure it was done in time. His inspection reports are some of, if not the best I've ever seen. Great customer service and all around a great person to hire. 10/10! I would recommend his service and plan to use him again in the future.
Melissa S.
After sellers accepted our offer on a well-maintained home, we were tempted to forgo an inspection. We are so thrilled to have contacted Steve anyway! The inspection was easy to schedule, affordable, informative, and ultimately saved us money and worry. Thank you, NPI Michiana, for helping our family step into our new home with confidence.
William P.
Steve and NPI Michiana have come through over and over again with excellent service and the highest level of professionalism. From providing in-depth inspection reports that contain pictures, descriptions and recommendations, to doing so in a timely manner, there’s no other inspector or company I would rather use.
Terri K.
Steve Hampton was our inspector and he was EXTREMELY thorough, from top to bottom. I'm most grateful to Steve that he took so much care in uncovering safety concerns with the house and he made sure we understood what it all meant. Thank you Steve - YOU are the MAN! You came so highly recommended to us and I see why.
Lidia M.
We have hired Steve twice and his service is beyond five stars. He is very thorough and detail-oriented. Steve really puts himself in a buyer's shoes and gives you advice on what he thinks would be best for you. I definitely recommend him. If we need any kind of inspections in the future, he will be the one we call without hesitation!
Kayla S.
Steve was amazing! He answered all our questions and helped us understand what everything meant. He even went back to look at the roof when the weather was better without us even asking! Couldn’t have asked for a better inspector for our first time buying a house.
Jonathon T.
Steve was quick and responsive, with a personal phone number and email. He got to me right away and was at my house in less than 24 hours. He took a lot of photos and explained everything through. I would use him again 100%.
Bruce B.
Steve from NPI did a great job with our home inspection and just wants to have your back. He was incredibly thorough and the reports are very easy to navigate. I highly recommend going through him for any inspection needed.
Ronald W.
Steve was very professional with his report and when talking with us. He answered all our questions, made us feel very comfortable, and he never was negative against the home we were buying - even on the things that were wrong with it. I would recommend him and use him on the next house we buy.

What's Included in an NPI Home Inspection?

Roof & Attic

NPI inspectors walk your roof to identify issues like warped shingles or worn flashings, and attics are checked for signs of water intrusion and wildlife.

Plumbing

All plumbing fixtures are evaluated for proper draining and signs of leaks. Your inspector also checks the hot/cold water supplies. 

Electrical

Your inspector will carefully evaluate the home’s electrical system, including the service entrance and panel. Outlets will also be tested.

HVAC

The full HVAC system will be evaluated, including the furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork as access allows.

Built-In Appliances

The functionality of built-in appliances such as ovens, fridges, and dishwashers will be documented in your report

Structure

All visible areas of your foundation, flooring, framing, and attic are thoroughly examined for safety, integrity, and quality of workmanship.

Walls & Ceilings

Your NPI inspector identifies the condition of the home’s walls and ceilings, looking for signs of water intrusion, cracks, or other potential issues.

Windows & Doors

Doors are checked for sticking, which could indicate a foundation issue. Windows are assessed to ensure they’re property sealed to outside elements.

Crawl Space

If applicable, crawl spaces are checked for signs of mold growth, wood rot, wildlife, and damaged structural components.

Exterior

The exterior inspection includes evaluation of the roof, gutters, windows, and siding.

Lots & Grounds

We assess the lot and grounds, including the driveway, sidewalks, and grading. Issues that could lead to water intrusion are identified.
