We were very pleased with the professionalism and thoroughness of David's inspection, and his patience in explaining necessary repairs and possible problems in the home which we ultimately bought. As a result of the inspection we were able to successfully negotiate repairs with the seller. With so many different parties involved in the home-buying transaction, we found it very reassuring to have David looking out for our interests.

We have used Buyer’s Inspection Service multiple times. They have helped us with two of our personal homes. David has a profound knowledge of older homes, in particular, which easily translates to his insights on newer homes also. He just sees things other inspectors don’t. It’s pretty amazing. The whole team is communicative, insightful, punctual, and a genuine pleasure to deal with. Setting up appointments, and even doing the inspection review, is/was super easy. They have a really good way of arming you with knowledge and making you feel educated and safe with your decision. Truly love working with them. Will use and recommend them time and again. Sláinte!

I can’t speak enough great things about Buyer’s Inspection Service!!! My family had just put a contract on a home, right when the Quarantine began and we were extremely worried that we would not be able to find a home inspector in our short window, but when we contacted BIS, they were able to work us in. Mr. David Roche was our inspector and he did a superb job and was extremely thorough! He not only fit us in quickly but provided much needed insight on the condition of our home, as well as, referred us to experts to give us additional information on findings from the report. His detailed inspection was so worth the money, because he was able to supply us with vital information that allowed us to make an informed decision to withdraw our contract; saving us money in the long run. Several weeks later, we ended up finding a wonderful home, and yet again Mr. Roche, from Buyers Inspection Services was able to fit us in and provided a quality inspection! Now we are closing in a week and we couldn’t be more thankful for their quality customer service and seasoned expertise!!! If any home buyer is looking for Stand Out Service, look no further!!! You’ll thank me later!!

Very transparent about everything that needed attention in the house and the amount of work done on the spot to provide such a detailed physical report was highly impressive!

Diana Crawford

We used Buyer's Inspection Services for the final inspection of our newly built home. We were not local to the area and the inspector went above and beyond for us. He took extra photo documentation of everything so we were able to see all the details of the inspection notes. The inspector was very thorough and the project manager of our home was impressed by how thorough the inspector was. He blue taped the home and provided a punch list for the builders. The report came back within 24 hours. We would happily use then again.

This was our second home purchase so we've had inspection services before. The last inspection was with a different company and they were good however Buyers Inspection Service we used this time was outstanding and much more professional grade. I was present for the inspection. They were unbelievably thorough. They answerd all my questions and they're final report with pictures was very detailed...more than I expected. Our inspector (Ryan) was friendly and very knowledgeable.I would highly recommend if you are in need of an inspection to call up Buyer's Inspection Service.

02:14 04 Feb 20

Very thorough and honest. The report you receive is huge and very informative. There is a basic package and then add on items depending on how in depth you would like to go. Our inspector was very direct on exactly what he inspected and what wasn't inspected. I had two homes inspected a week apart and recieved the exact same level of service on both.

Reports were easy to understand and navigate. A physical copy of the report was provided at the inspection and reviewed w/answers given to any of my questions.

Buyer’s Inspection Service did an amazing job for us. Our inspector, David, spent three hours inspecting every aspect of our new home. This gave us credibility when we asked for repairs and it alerted us to issues that could arise in the future. Additionally he took the time to considerately answer every dumb question I had. I felt truly prepared moving forward with the purchase after David’s inspection and report. The inspection more than paid for itself in negotiations. It will continue to pay dividends as we settle in to our new home.Can’t stress this enough, a good home inspection is worth its weight in gold. On our last purchase we just used the guy our realtor recommended. $500 later I fouled out that all the outlets and faucets worked. I spent the mext two years fixing obvious stuff that probably should have been flagged. If you are going to spend the money, find someone with your interests in mind. Buyers inspection service falls into that category for sure! Five stars!

Great service, great quality! Were very thorough with our new home inspection, not only closely checking all the mechanicals, but very detailed in checking for fit and finish. Found two flashing issues that another inspector missed. Even went as far as noticing some rough spots on our new deck and a nail that could have snagged someone. Before they finished they reviewed the most important findings with us and printed all paperwork on the spot and presented it to us in a nice, organized binder, including very clear photos and typed notes taken only a couple hours prior. A week later they called again to follow up and see how their report did with our builder and checked to see ifnwe were satisfied. Donato, the booking manager returned my call in less than an hour. Then scheduled our inspection for only a few days later. David did our inspection and was incredibly personable and easy to talk to. Very pleased and would recommend them to anyone in need of the service. Price was comparable to any other company out there that we saw but we went with them because someone else in our neighborhood also had a great experience with them and recommended them.

From scheduling to the inspection itself, my husband and I couldn't be happier with the experience we had with the Buyer's Inspection Service team! As first time home buyers, we had numerous questions and concerns, and David was there every step of the way with answers and suggestions. We greatly appreciate the binder we received with the detailed inspection report which allowed us to address immediate issues as well as take information into account for future repairs. Thank you so much for a seamless experience. We highly recommend Buyer's Inspection Service!

We first used Buyers Inspection Service to inspect a home we were interested in buying. David Roche was our inspector and he was WONDERFUL! He was very thorough and walked me through the home to explain everything he inspected and point out areas of concern. This meant so much to me because my husband is deployed and I was doing all of the buying processes by myself. He was very friendly and personable and made sure I understood everything he was talking about. Unfortunately we backed out of that house because the owners were unwilling to fix the major problems that the house had. When we found another home of interest, we called Buyer's Inspection Service again because we were very pleased with their services the first time around. I specifically requested David because he was wonderful and I knew he would do a great job with the inspection and explaining things to me. I will definitely be recommending Buyer's Inspection Service to anyone that is in need of a home inspection. Thank you for your service!
Mike Nemire
22:23 21 Nov 19
Our inspector, David, was absolutely fantastic! He was very thorough in his inspection and discovered a number of concerning issues with the home we intended to purchase. As first-time home buyers, we were new to this process, so working with David was a comforting and informative experience. I would highly recommend Buyer's to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. And, since we decided not to go ahead with this particular property, we look forward to working with him again when the right one comes along.A few months later, we found another house we loved. Our experience with Buyer's and with David was so great the first time around, there was no question at all about having them come out to inspect this property as well. As expected, very professional and extremely thorough!

I would like to give them a good rating, but just a few days ago I was cleaning out my garage and noticed that my GFI plug was not working. I understand that this happens and didn’t have an issue replacing it. But what I thought would fix it didn’t, so I had to hire a electrician to come out and pay an additional 75.00, to fix something that should have been caught during the inspection. This is beyond frustrating that as a new home owner you entrusted someone to be your eyes and to point out the issues and for the most part this was done.As we continue to update our home we are finding things that should of been reviewed but wasn’t. I was told that “ this is a solid home and there were really no issues. I am really frustrated and want to make sure that others who are currently in the market please make sure that simple things like smoke detectors in the entire home were over 10 yrs old, all I was told that they “need batteries”. Second, I noticed that around one of the vent for the heater, has unauthorized tape... please review and make sure that you review your who is inspecting your home, and don’t let this happen to you. I will not give my name, but will tell you that my home was inspected back in August 2019 and it’s on Carrick Drive, Dayton 45458. Please look up my file, and call... even better stop by!

I always recommend them to friends and family who are either about to buy or sell a house. The price is great for the service you will receive.

If you are looking for quality to cost, look no further. Schedule an inspection.If you are looking for the cheapest around, keep looking, find it, and then come back here and schedule an inspection. It’ll be worth the cost. (An extra $40 in my case)Or save yourself some time and just schedule it with Buyers Inspection Service. You won’t be disappointed.The knowledge and professionalism that David and his team brought to the table was absolutely world class. I was able to shadow David and ask questions which he answered with patience and experience. He did not sugar coat and shot straight to the point, good or bad. Every outlet and every (accessible) pipe, covered and noted. Thorough to a T. He spent an entire afternoon on the 1600sq ft house and supplied me with not only the knowledge of what to fix, but the know how to fix it. If you can’t be there, no worries. The final documentation is detailed and organized in such a way that it gives a buyer confidence in making repairs and/or leverage for negotiations with the seller to make repairs. If you’re on the fence in choosing a company for your home inspection.Choose Buyers, I can’t stress this enough. An over all stellar experience.10/10 will buy again.

David did a wonderful job working with us during the inspection. He was very knowledgable and discussed small ways to make the house even better on items that did not fall under the inspection. He inspected every part of the house carefully and reviewed his findings with us in detail. He took his time and answered every one of our questions.

Exceptional support and guidance as we built our new Ryan home. Having the extra set of eyes both on the pre-drywall inspection and final inspection was key to making sure that we had the comfort and security in closing on our new construction house knowing all major issues were address. This was one of the best investments we made going into closing on our house. Our inspector, David, was friendly and very detailed. The report was provided timely and he even called to walk us through the report to make sure we did not have any questions. We strongly recommend Buyer’s Inspection Service to any new home buyer who wants the security in knowing they are buying a good home.

David inspected a house I was trying to buy. He was punctual and friendly. I am a first time home buyer, and have no idea what to look for. He was incredibly thorough, and able to explain things in a way that I understood. Because of his inspection I decided not to buy the home. He pointed out the extensive termite damage, and the shortcuts taken in repairs so the home appeared updated, but was not. He also discovered wiring that was an extreme fire hazard! Five stars is not enough to give this inspector. I would use them time and time again.

Ryan was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. He was very personable and answered all of my questions. The entire process was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with the purchase of my new condo. I was impressed with his expertise and loved the binder report provided on the same day of the inspection. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

David was very thorough in his inspection, providing me with the confidence to know what needed immediate attention and what to keep an eye on in the near future. David was able to talk in layman's terms on subjects I had less understanding on, while using specific terminology for other subjects I had greater knowledge of. Additionally, he was a very pleasant person to spend that morning with and made the inspection process enjoyable instead of arduous. I have everything I need to assess my next maintenance steps in closing on my new home!

I cannot say enough great things about David. He was very knowledgeable and thorough throughout the inspection. It was great to walk through the house with him as he hit on what seemed to be every inch of the property. He found things that could've cost us a lot of money in repairs in the near future. We will be having David do any future inspections!

This is my second review as I've had two inspections now. The second, just like the first, was fantastic. David was helpful, informative, and patient with me. The first inspection I received helped me determine that house wasn't the house for me and the second helped me settle on the home I now own. The inspection was thorough and David was very pleasant to work with. He again answered all my questions and explained things in a clear and understandable manner. The inspection report is also full of very useful information and I'm using it to create a repair and update plan for my house. David is great at his job and the company has been very helpful, even answering questions after the fact. I've gone with Buyer's Inspection Service twice now and twice I have been thoroughly pleased with my experience. I would recommend this company to anyone and will be using their services if ever I need another inspection.

I would not buy house today without a inspection. Buyer’s Inspection did a great job. They took the time to check everything. If found anything was found they showed you and told how major the problem. I had couple of minor issues, easy to fix. My husband has health issues so I did a radon check, it took three days to test. I have peace of mind knowing the house level is fine. I received a well written report with pictures. I would recommend Buyers Inspection to everyone.

4 Feb 2019I used Buyer's Inspection right before the drywall process of my new home. Ryan delivered a detailed report of the problems or discrepancies identified. I was able to forward his report to the site manager to make the necessary adjustments to my home before the dry-walling began. I will be using Buyer's Inspection again before I close. Excellent service.UPDATE 19 Mar 2019Buyer's Inspection came out to my new home construction three days before my pre-settlement walkthrough. The detailed report received from Ryan identified and explained the problems, some I believed to be serious. Ryan also contacted me the following morning to describe in detail the issues identified. Flaws found by Ryan were corrected prior to closing. I would highly recommend Buyer's Inspection to anyone building a new home or purchasing a pre-existing home.

We were very pleased with our detailed inspection which was completed by Ryan. He explained things as he worked and provided us with a report the same day. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I also think it’s good that they encourage the buyer to be there for the inspection. It’s not necessary but you’ll learn a lot about your future home.

Inspector inspected a winterized house, but agreed to come back for free after it had been dewinterize for a second visit to make sure the plumbing was correct. Found some small things that we were able to get the seller to pay for. Inspection paid for itself in that sense.

I have used this company twice for my new build (pre-drywall and final). I am definitely glad I chose to spend the money and protect my investment. I feel like the builder/seller actually took me seriously when I had a report with all the fixes that were required. I had David both times for the inspection. He was very thorough and reassured me of any concerns I had. There is a lot of new style building material like PEX I am unfamiliar with. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out things I wouldn't even think to look out for. I also like that you receive a very detailed report at the end. It includes a list of each room and issues found, INCLUDING pictures. He prints the report right away using a portable printer and you also get a copy in email which is really convenient to send out. This definitely makes it easy to remember all the issues and communicate those effectively with the builder/seller. Even if they are not willing to correct everything on the list David gave me ideas about what would be required to make things right.

Buyer's Inspection Service performed an inspection on the house I was considering purchasing. Ryan performed the inspection and the entire process was both informative and critical in our decision later to purchase the house. They responded quickly to a message I left over the weekend and was out within days to perform the inspection. He treated the property with respect when interacting with it taking care to damage or dirty anything. He would explain things to me that he found and showed me in person the pictures he would include in his report. I received the report that same day and didn't have to wait. I recommend Buyer's Inspection Service to anyone looking to get their home inspected no matter the reason for wanting it inspected.

David Rosche of Buyer's Inspection Service did an outstanding job for our home inspection. His attention to detail and care in explaining his findings were critical to our home buying experience. He spent 3+ hours, even as small as the house was, making sure everything was covered and made sure to get on top of the roof and into the rafters noting everything. We highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy a home!

I hired this company to do our inspection based on their high reviews. Boy, was I thankful for the reviews because let me tell you, they are 100% accurate. This service was top-notch from start to finish. Danato was super kind and knowledgeable setting everything up, and Ryan, our inspector, was prompt, thorough, friendly, professional, and meticulous with the inspection. He spent about 6 hours in the home combing through every single inch. I asked him questions the whole time and he never made me feel like a bother or that I was in the way. The inspection report was clear, helpful, and allowed our realtor and us to submit a compelling post-inspection report to the sellers asking for several things we never would have noticed without a thorough inspection. The sellers agreed most items needed fixed and we got a signed agreement as a result! Thank you Ryan, Danato, and the whole team! You guys represent why good people who run good businesses will have good things come your way in return!

David was very thorough and informative. I spent over half the inspection on site with him and he was very patient with me, answered all my questions, and explained things as he found them in a thorough but easy to understand manner. It was a pleasant and enlightening experience. The binder I received afterward was also quite detailed and easy to understand. I’d have preferred a little more information on the termite inspection but I’m sure if I’d asked for clarification I’d have received it and it was still detailed enough that this doesn’t negatively impact my impression of the company. I didn’t go with that property but on my next attempt I’ll be sure to utilize buyers home inspection again.

My husband and I have worked with Ryan twice now. He completed a pre-inspection on our home before we listed. He walked us through a thorough inspection. Because we were so happy with the services he provided, we asked to work with the same company in the process of purchasing a home. Ryan went through the home and took his time going through each item on his list. Again, he was thorough and detailed. He walked us through and explained his findings, provided a binder with printed copies (he was able to print the report there, via a portable printer). He also sent an email with the inspection so that we had an electronic copy. Along with the quality of work, we were very happy with the level of professionalism Ryan exhibited while completing the inspections. We would work with this company again, without hesitation. We highly recommend Buyer’s Inspection Service to anyone!

We used Buyer's Inspection Services for the final inspection of our newly built home. We were not local to the area and the inspector went above and beyond for us. He took extra photo documentation of everything so we were able to see all the details of the inspection notes. The inspector was very thorough and the project manager of our home was impressed by how thorough the inspector was. He blue taped the home and provided a punch list for the builders. The report came back within 24 hours. We would happily use then again.

As a first time home buyer, it’s important to get an inspector who takes the time to not only inspect every inch of the home, but explain things. 10/10 would recommend!

I found this company to be very professional and efficient.Their service was excellent. Ryan did our inspection for us and as we found him to be very efficient at his job and pleasant to work with.He explained everything to us when he was finished, offered suggestions regarding the work that should be done. We were given a notebook when he was finished to take home and look over which was very helpful. We definitely would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection and feel they would be very pleased with the service.
Thank you, Ann and Cal Hites.

My wife and I are thoroughly pleased with Buyer's Inspection Service. Our inspector was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. We have used him twice in our home buying process and will be recommending him to everyone we know that requires inspection service. As new home buyers, it's good to know the ins and outs of the home we are buying, and David made sure to show us everything we needed to know about our future home. We appreciate all that this company has done for us!

David carefully checked every part of the house. When done David showed us the problems and told us what the solution should be. He told us which items were safety issues. He was very upbeat and answered all of our questions.

They have inspected 3 properties for me because I believe they do an amazing, thorough inspection. They point out possible problem areas and offer great advice on all areas of the home. It is always a great experience and well worth the investment.

The best home inspection group hands down. Seriously, look no further for a home inspector. David Roche was thorough, friendly, answered all our questions, explained everything we didn't understand, and provided a binder with detailed descriptions of everything the same day of the inspection. My father, a general contractor, was present during Mr. Roche's inspection and said he was very impressed. My father is a HUGE stickler for competence/ details, so that's saying a lot. Look no further, hire these folks.

We have been trying to buy a house in a seller's market since February. Through an unusual series of events we ended up getting the first house we looked at. David did the inspection and was not only thorough, but courteous and professional. He pointed out everything that we needed to know, Patiently explained what had to been done, and answered all of our questions. He left no corner unexplored. We highly reccomend him and this company.

David is very thorough and detail oriented. He is a pleasure to work with. He has inspected many houses for us. Because of his superior inspection, I feel confident that I am entering the home purchase with eyes wide open. David will find what other inspectors miss. I completely trust him.

We hired Buyers Inspection Service to do our initial home inspection and had the BEST experience. David was extremely professional and polite. He walked with us through our home explaining things as he went along and was more than happy to address any questions or concerns we had along the way. When everything was finished I received a physical copy of the entire report in a conveniently labelled binder and I also received a copy via e-mail. I've already recommended Buyers Inspection Service to some friends and would do so again and again. Top notch service. If there was a six star option I would give it. Thank you David and the team behind the scenes that I didn't get to meet, you guys are wonderful!

Great experience throughout with Buyer's Inspection Service. Got a call right after my realtor booked the inspection to set everything else in motion. Ryan did the inspection on the house I'm buying and was very thorough. As a first time home buyer it was nice to have someone explain things to me and take the time to show me each issue that he saw. I would definitely recommend using Buyer's Inspection Service and Ryan White as your inspector.

David was amazing, he performed an inspection prior to listing my home, is was so thorough, and his report was extremely detailed, very useful when making the necessary repairs before listing. Then, David inspected the home I was buying and I felt so confident in his skills I just new that if there was something wrong with my new home that David was going to find it! David went totally above and beyond the normal call of duty, even speaking to a nervous home buyer in order to reassure them that there were no major flaws in the home. I would NEVER use anyone else for this service! Thank you so much, David!

So easy to work with and incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the inspection. Ryan even found things that the previous inspector missed just a few months ago... a true pro.

David performed an inspection on a potential house I was interested in back in early November, the thorough process that he took to investigate each and every section of the house was amazing and very comforting knowing that I was getting the best inspection possible and would receive the most detailed report possible outlining all of the good and potential flaws of the house. It was with this very detailed inspection and reporting process that I was able to make a more conscientious decision during the home buying process. Thanks to David I now own the house that he inspected and feel very comfortable a month into owning the house based on the report he provided. I would highly, and I mean highly, recommend Buyer's Inspection Service, especially David, to inspect your next potential home. His attention to detail is second to none! Don't search anywhere else when you need your next Home Inspection!!!

A good friend of mine referred us to Buyer's Inspection Service for our first home purchase. From the kind gentleman who helped book the inspection to the inspector, David, who came through and completed the inspection- every single step of the way was handled professionally and with the highest standards. An extremely detailed description of every piece of the inspection with color photos attached was provided on the spot and placed into an easy to read binder for our keeping. All I can say is WOW. 10 out of 10!

David inspected a condo that we were interested in for our daughter's family. Thanks to David, he found MANY problems that were not visible at first glance. With his help we were able to eliminate this prospect and find a new site which we asked him to inspect. He was thorough, helpful, and clearly steered us in the right direction. Without his guidance we might have purchased a potential nightmare which we would have had to live with and make repairs later. Thank you David for a great job!

This company was great to work with! They promptly scheduled our inspection, provided a detailed list of things that needed immediate attention versus things that can be done at a later time, and then provided us with a physical and electronic copy of the report. Ryan was extremely professional and took the time to answer all of our questions.

David inspected our home yesterday. He was very thorough and he informed us of what he was looking for and what he found. He made a very detailed inspection and gave us a very detailed inspection report. If you need a home inspection call Buyer's Inspection Service and ask for David.

I used David to inspect my first home four years ago when I moved to Dayton. He was thorough and explained everything to me when I had questions. It was a no brainer to use him again now, four years later on the purchase of my second home! The service was awesome, I was present during the inspection and he is so detailed, and the paperwork is easy to understand. We Recommend this service.

We recently used Buyer's Inspection Service for the second time for home inspection services. About 5 years ago David inspected our current home. He was very thorough and detailed in his inspection and identified some importatnt issues that we were able get resolved before taking ownership of the home. Last week, Ryan inspected our new home and I was surprised by the level of detail involved in his inspection as he spent about 4 hrs pouring over our property. On both occasions, we felt comfortable that Buyer's Inspection Services had our best interest in mind, and our interactions with them have been handled with the utmost integrity. If you want a home inspection done right, this is a great company to look at.

David inspected a home I am thinking about buying in Centerville. He is extremely knowledgeable about home repairs and he pointed out several issues with the home that need to be addressed immediately. He is very meticulous about noting every repair of the house in a detailed, easy to read report . He is very helpful and courteous. Also, arranging a date and time for the inspection was a simple process. I highly recommend the Buyer's Inspection Service! -Linda

David Roche gave me guidance on how to make an art studio safer and more efficient. He had excellent design suggestions for how to get the maximum amount of function in a small space. He is able to consult on all aspects of a project such as design, lighting, storage, heating, etc.

As an experienced Realtor, I find it very easy to recommend this company. The attention to detail, willingness to answer questions, the way they present issues to my clients and explain whether they found a defect or teach them it's a maintenance item is so valuable. One of the few inspectors licensed in every direction! Behind every good realtor is a great inspector and this is mine! Worth every penny!

The inspection we got on our house was very detailed, to the point that I used it as a thorough 'to do' list when I was fixing it up. Buyer's inspection service was a pleasure to work with and found several items of concern we would have otherwise missed.

We were relocating to Columbus from Chicago and had a very tight timeline to find and purchase a home. We wanted to purchase a very old home but were hesitant about future repair cost. David from Buyer’s home inspection came highly recommended as an older home expert. He knew everything! He pointed out repairs for our closing ‘punch list’ as well a future issue that may arise. He went through every inch of our home and literally ‘crawled through’ sections. Giving us piece of mind and leverage to negotiate the house cost. Thank you so much!

David inspected a home I was considering purchasing in 2007. I thought I had done a pretty thorough inspection myself but missed many things that would be expensive to repair and were potentially dangerous. The detail of the inspection and the easily understood summary were very valuable. Due to the inspection, not only were necessary repairs made prior to the purchase, but I was able to negotiate a better price. Without the repairs and price reduction, the appraisal may not have been adequate for the loan needed. I would definitely use them again. Great value.
