WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Over 500 5-Star Reviews!

My Wife and I hired Magnolia Home Inspections for a New Construction Build and could not be happier with the service provided. Luke was fantastic; he thoroughly explained everything when we met him onsite and provided the entire report within 24 hours. Communication was excellent, he texted me with updates through the entire process and also reached out to the Builder and our Real Estate agent as appropriate. Highly Recommend!

Ian Lindsey

Wow. What a wonderful experience. They were both very personable and excited to help answer all of my questions and explain any issues they came across. They took their time and seemed like they checked every inch of the house. They also provide advice and resources for how to address any of the issues. Grateful to have such great info about our new home!

Bryan Edwards

2nd time using Magnolia for our home inspections, highly recommend! Our inspector Peter was amazing for both inspections. Very, very thorough and included detailed notes and recommendations in our debrief and our report. Magnolia is very easy to schedule with and responds quickly.
