Constraction reviews in Orlando, Florida

I have used Dennis and Karla for 2 home inspections. They have been on time, and very professional. They do a very thorough inspections, and Dennis is very forthcoming in his reporting. The inspection reports have arrived in a timely manner.

Came to inspect the house my wife and I are planning to purchase. Very thorough, honest, and quick inspections with us and explained each area of the house.

Dennis and his wife are amazing. They did 2 inspections for me and we're very thorough. I'd highly recommend them.

1st experience with a home inspector and I must admit that Dennis was great. Very thorough and helpful in making me understand all the issues with the home. Will definitely recommend!

A1 are very nice people. Excellent service and efficient

Very professional yet personable husband and wife team with years of knowledge who work for the benefit of the customer. They explain everything related to the home inpection and make sure you thoroughly understand. Excellent to work with.

Great people to work with I was very pleased

Denis and Karla did an inspection at a condo that I am under contract for, and really did an outstanding job identifying problem areas that needed to be fixed before I bought the unit. They are very professional, and do not sugar coat issues that will become problems for the seller. I will use them again in the future.

If you need a home inspection look no further! Dennis did a home inspection for us and not only is he thorough and knowledgeable but he’s also very kind and honest! He gave us so many helpful tips. I cannot recommend this company enough!! Thank you again Dennis!!

I like to say thank you to Mr. Dennis and Ms. Karla for their help in inspecting a home that I purchase a few weeks ago. Dennis and Karla are very professional, and knowledgeable in their expertise. I have confidence in having them doing the inspection. Job well done!

Excellent service! Mr. Dennis and Ms. Karla are very professional and knowledgeable, and they are willing to share that knowledge to help you care and maintain your house. We learned a lot, and we would definitely recommend them to anybody looking for a great service, that goes beyond the actual inspection, at an affordable price!

Purchasing a newly constructed home and was referred to this business. Dennis and Karla throughly inspected the home in great detail. Additionally Dennis walked all around the house inside and out giving good insights on how to maintain the home, appliances, and HVAC system. Wasn’t expecting to learn as much as I did that day and the advice will be great to maintain the safety and integrity of the home! :)

Thank you so much for the inspection! Very thorough and found every detail in the house. Taught us a lot of house tricks! And the price is very fair! Again! Thank you!

I contacted A-1 from a referral from a friend. I was extremely happy with the inspection. They were very thorough which is what I mainly was looking for. In addition I was given tips on things to improve and items to maintenance to keep the house in the best shape possible over time. They were very friendly, professional, and punctual. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an inspection!

We originally had another company scheduled to inspect the property we planned on purchasing . However, unbeknownst to me, the original inspector cancelled and my wife hired Dennis based on his Google reviews.

Dennis and his wife seem like nice people, warm and friendly. But he seems lacking in detail and meticulousness when it comes to what should be most instrumental in his job - inspecting homes. I partly blame myself as I could not be there during the whole length of the inspection due to my work obligations. When I initially arrived, Dennis mistook me for a contractor which gave me some more insight on how he operates. He was basically there to fill in the check boxes on his handwritten form, an occasional illegible detail is added to the side. Everything I was given was handwritten ,with far less detail and harder to decipher than the computerized/detailed inspections I've been accustomed to. He fills in these check boxes at a very fast pace, without much attention to detail

Dennis is very good at observing the superficial, basically the issues that don't necessitate a trained ey. He was able to note the garage opener as non operational, broken disposal and broken door hinges by the pool. Some home inspection essentials were completely missed - he did not run the upstairs bathroom sink and toilet (which revealed a leak downstairs after I ran it), he did not look in the attic ( which was full of animal feces due to a squirrel infestation), he missed the moldy wall in one of the bathrooms which was glaringly obvious. The list goes on...he was more interested in telling me some anecdotes and showing me his list of preferred contractors as he knew I needed some work done in the house .

In summary, if you are looking for a good home inspector, best to ask your realtor or friends/family. This is certainly one thing you would not want to Google.

I was in need of a home inspection service for a property that I intended to purchase. After much research, I decided to go with A-1 Home Inspection Services. Dennis arrived promptly for the inspection. He provided me with a detailed analysis of the property which covered the structure, plumbing, electrical and etc. Additionally, all of my questions were addressed to my complete satisfaction. I can state with confidence that you will not be disappointed with the service this company provides to its customers.

I got into contact with Dennis with a last minute request to help me with an inspection on a house we put an offer on . He and Karla were on time and straight forward with the truth. Needless to say, the house had termite and electrical issues which he detected within 15 minutes of walking in. He decided this wasn't the place for me and charged me a small fee for coming out. Words cannot express how appreciative I am for saving me the Heartache of being in a house with tons of issues. Still house hunting but guess who's getting my inspection call..... Dennis and Karla! Thank you all so much.

Dennis and Karla are the most responsive home inspection professionals we have worked with. They helped us prioritize repairs to stage our house for sale -- and find excellent contractors to do work. Highly recommend.

Horrible experience. These inspectors were nothing short of unprofessional and outright negligent. They inspected our house and when we came in after they took 3 HOURS to complete (told us it would take 1.5, and every realtor we have talked to since has said that is completely unacceptable and that they have never heard of an inspection taking that long, even houses that are falling apart) everything was disheveled. Lights were left on all over the house, cabinets were left open, some sort of spray or something was all over our furniture, patio and interior furniture was pushed all around and not replaced. They turned off the regular pool timer and left it running nonstop. But the worst is that they left every door and window unlocked, which they did not mention to us and we were literally sleeping in our home for two full days before we realized this, and anyone could have come in. We left our teen children and pets home alone, not knowing this. It’s criminal. On top of all of that, they turned our AC down to 61 upstairs and did not turn back up, which we also were unaware of, because our master suite is downstairs. Not only did this cost us a ton of money for these 2 days, but it also caused our pipes to freeze and could have flooded our home. He also left our patio sliding doors slightly open so our AC downstairs was cooling the patio, which cost us additional money. Unbelievably unprofessional and negligent. We will be contacting our attorney about damages.

We additionally witnessed the man ask the buyers on our home - who were here for the inspection - to hold the ladder for him as he went up to look at the roof, which is obviously not their job and is dangerous, and could have resulted in him falling on our property. Especially ridiculous given that his wife colleague was there and could/should have assisted him.

Homes should be left in the state they were found when inspectors come in. Ours was in a state of disarray and chaos. He berated us for having cameras in our own house (which we use to monitor our dogs when we are gone), I assume because he didn’t like that he might be recorded. If someone is doing a professional job, it shouldn’t matter if there are cameras or not. Places of business have cameras and those don’t get turned off while jobs like this are done, so this is no different. Frankly, I am glad we have the inside and outside cameras now, because we have proof of what was done to our home. We fully believe he was out to be vindictive on our inspection because of the cameras and because he didn’t like that we questioned why he had other people in our home unattended (we did not know who the buyers were at the time). Just terrible. Would not recommend to anyone.

I want to thank Dennis and Karla for making our home buying process easier rather than difficult. Your inspection of our future home was extremely thorough and precise. We feel much safer knowing that our future home is in excellent condition. Your service is impeccable. We will always keep A-1 Home Inspections on our minds whenever we run across someone needing a home inspection. Both of you will always be a part of our family.
