Seven Stars Home Advisors

Chad and Doug were very personable, thorough, and knowledgeable. The pre-​inspection communication was great, and the communication during the inspection was even better. They allowed me to follow them around and were great with answering all the questions I had as a first time home owner. I really appreciated their commitment to me as the buyer. I wanted an inspector that I felt had my best interests in mind, as opposed to wanting to keep the realtor happy in order to gain more business from them. They were one of the few that I researched that really seemed to be out there for the home buyer, and I could tell this was true as we were going through the inspection.
It took them about 3 hours for a 3000 sq ft home (I imagine it would have been less, but they spent a great deal of time answering my questions). The report was in PDF format with clear sections, comments, pictures, and video. They explained everything they were doing and emphasized the important things that I should remember and look into further, and really knew their stuff.
Both Chad and Doug were there for my inspection (though I don’t know if that’s standard practice). They are very well priced, and had great integration of mobile technology. I was able to sign the contract and approve the inspection appointment from my phone. Additionally, this was a very last minute inspection request, and they were able to get me in on VERY short notice.
With all the inspectors out there that may or may not know what they’re doing, do yourself a favor and trust all the positive reviews these guys have accumulated, and go with them.

I had to use these guys twice as the first property fell through after their inspection. I shopped around for a while looking for the best option and am VERY glad I stumbled upon these guys. It is no surprise they have nearly 100% 5 start reviews on Unilocal!and I must say they are warranted.
This company is a duo — Chad and Doug — and both know their stuff. They did a 1500 sq. foot home inspection in about 90 minutes — having a 35 page document with pictures for me the next night. The email they send has details about everything they inspected, which for me was most helpful with exterior issues they found. As a home buyer, I was not looking at every corner of the house with a critical eye, so to have dozens of pictures showing issues close up was very helpful for me.
Both Chad and Doug are willing to answer any questions you have for them during the inspection, and are available to call after the fact. Chad seems to want you to save money down the road by not calling a handyman for every possible job you will inevitably run into buying a home — he gives advice and tricks of the trade as the inspection goes on.
I had no complaints working with these guys, and while the whole process of buying a home can be stressful, I had zero stress during my inspection or wondering if anything was missed.
Their prices are competitive — slightly cheaper than other top of the line inspectors — and you get your monies worth — 100%. This is not a part of the home buying process to skimp on!
For reference– they charge based on how old and big your house is so my first inspection was a 1964 house — 900 sq ft ($ 275.00) then second was 1954 — 1500 sq ft ($ 475.00).
Good luck!

Chad and Doug are extremely professional and knowledgable home inspectors, and we really enjoyed working with them. I loved how they invited us to walk around with them so they could keep us informed about everything. Not only was their report helpful with their video and pictures, but they explained things thoroughly for us. They both were extremely friendly and candid with us through the whole process. Chad even recommended another company to help us with our drywall and trim needs for after we close on the house. I wholeheartedly recommend Chad and Doug for your home inspecting needs!

I typically do not write reviews as I just don’t have time. However, Seven Stars. How about 10 Stars!
We contracted with Seven Stars Home Inspection and I was so impressed by their overall professionalism and thoroughness in addition to the quality of their work and report I had to share the experience. I contacted Chad directly and he worked effortlessly around a tough schedule and reschedule to fit us in. Both Chad and Doug performed the inspection together and having the experience and knowledge of two inspectors was invaluable. They were so thorough and their explanation of key areas of concern as well as other areas of positive feedback about the property helped us to avoid tunnel vision of a specific problem while better understanding the value in the home and areas that were easily repaired and maintained and other areas needing immediate action before closing.
From my perspective it would be hard to find two more helpful, honest, and respectful individuals in the home inspection industry. By the way, this was no small job, this was a 6 acre 7000 sqft home and they spent 5 hours inspecting with two guys.
Inspection completed from 8am to 1pm and an incredibly detailed and insightful report was in my hands that night. Are you kidding? This was just awesome.
In addition their prices were very competitive and worth the money for the amount of work and effort put into the home.
Thanks Chad and Doug, you have a customer for life and I will do everything in my power to recommend you to anyone I know looking for home inspection services.

These guys are fantastic. If you are looking for a home inspector — no need to look elsewhere. I spoke with Chad who was extremely professional and responsive. We just received the inspection report and it is incredibly thorough. Needless to say, I am pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone.

I was a PM for large construction projects for several years and it was a huge relief to meet Chad and know that an experienced contractor was doing our inspection. He lived up to the hype I built in my mind as he was extremely thorough, had great advice, and showed genuine interest in making sure we were aware of both the good and bad findings. He clearly puts his years of custom home building experience to use. If you have the chance to book Seven Stars, do it, you will be rewarded with quality work and peace of mind.

Buying a home is 100% the most stressful experience ever. But working with Seven Stars was hands down one of the enjoyable and informative parts of the process.
I was greeted by Doug and Chad and asked right off the bat if I had any questions or concerns about the home that I wanted them to address. My only concern was that my husband couldn’t be there and wanted to make sure there would be an ample file to provide him to keep in the process. They assured me that they would be taking 200 – 300 hundred photos which would all be clearly marked and included in the file and that my husband could also call them personally with any questions about the results. That was really awesome.
Not only were they detailed and friendly, but they gave me SO much information! They communicated with me and our agent the whole time explaining things with professionalism and ease and even gave me specific brand names for products that would help our home, and company names for places where we could purchase things for the best prices. I mentioned wanted to redo some of the floors and they even told me how deep I could sand on that type of floor and what to be careful of!
I heard and read about how daunting an inspection is and wasn’t really sure what to expect. This is our first home so we were kind of clueless to the process. After working with these guys I really don’t know why people wouldn’t love to have their home inspection. They provided us with so much information that we feel even stronger and more excited about our home choice.
If you need an inspection, these are the guys to call. I cannot say enough good things about them, you’ll just have to hire them and see for yourself.

Agent suggested I use Seven Stars for the home inspection and couldn’t be happier with results. Seven Stars sends out two inspectors at the same time who are very knowledgeable in all things pertaining to homes. Doug and Chad informed me of all minor/​major problems with the house along with giving me a overall feel of house condition.
Inspection report contained pictures of all minor and major issues with descriptions of what is broken and how it should be fixed. They also take photo’s of all appliance manufactures stickers so you can research pros/​cons of item.
I highly recommend Seven Stars, great company and people.

I was pretty concerned with the whole process before it started, but once Doug and Chad got going on this inspection it was incredibly clear that they really did have my best interests in mind, and wanted to be sure they educated me on anything and everything they found. I was blown away with how thorough they were and am incredibly grateful for their insights and the knowledge they provided to me. Without these guys I would have been completely lost.
Throughout the inspection they continuously educated me by pointing out their concerns, explaining in clear terms to me what they meant for me now and potentially in the future, how the issues probably arose, and possible solutions with general concepts of time and effort involved. Not only did they explain all of this, but they also showed me areas of the house I had overlooked, and potential some great potential the home had which I had not considered. Not once did they ever make an effort to move my thought process in one direction or another, they simply provided me knowledge about the situation, and what it would mean to me if I purchased the home. Their final report was full of all kinds of things for me to consider, fortunately they had pictures to keep my attention. Anyway, I feel a lot better about my decisions with this home now, and will definitely be using Chad and Doug again for any future home inspections.
I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to have had them come and inspect the house and discuss with me everything they observed. I am so adamant about my positive experience with them that I am leaving my phone number in this review (at the end in alpha-​numeric to avoid page scraping bots for spammers) so that anyone considering working with them can call and talk to me directly about my experiences. 720 – 5 one 5 – 460 five
