Our Client Testimonials

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

Jules H.
I had NPI do a home inspection for me recently and Alex's inspection by far was the most thorough and complete that I've seen. He went out of his way to answer all my questions and he explained things in a comprehensible way. I highly recommend Alex and NPI!
Anthony P.
Having collaborated with NPI for over two years as a realtor, I can attest to their professionalism and commitment to excellence. Their reliability, prompt communication, and comprehensive reports make them an indispensable partner. I highly recommended them for fellow real estate professionals seeking top-notch inspection services.
Jonathan B.
Alex and Evan were great to work with! They were very thorough but also practical. The color-coded inspection report is very easy to read and know where to take action. I would highly recommend and use again!
Teresa B.
NPI did a great job inspecting the home we were purchasing. Evan & Alex were thorough and skilled in a broad range of residential systems. The report was great, with detailed descriptions sortable by system, severity, or chronology. Best of all, the user could create an Inspection Repair Request report. Our experience was very positive and I would recommend NPI, as well as use them again.
Yen D.
National Property Inspections really is the best inspection team in town. Evan gave me the minutia of every thing that needed to be fixed with the property. Extremely thorough, efficient, and professional. I cannot recommend this company enough.
Kelvin L.
Alex helped us with our new home inspection with incredible efficiency, thoroughness, and professionalism. The reports you get from him in person as well as digitally are extremely detailed but informative: you're able to glean everything that is actionable, cause for worry, or just simple FYIs in a very digestible manner. Would highly recommend!
Daisy M.
My fiancé had Alex Schiedler as the inspector for our soon-to-be home, and he was a true professional. He took his time to inspect everything thoroughly and answered every question and concern we had. Thank you for all your hard work! I highly recommend Alex as an inspector.
Martin B.
Prompt and courteous service. Alex and his team at National Property Inspections are knowledgeable in their craft, and they explained issues in plain English so even those who are not savvy in construction could understand. Would recommend them to anyone needing their services.
Eric S.
I couldn't say enough about how detail-oriented and painstaking this company is with homes. They are well-versed in their knowledge and practical. They even spent about an extra hour over time just answering any questions at length. Responsive, professional, and high quality!

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.
