Avid Inspection Services

I’ve been working with Darryl and Vanessa for years, and they’re always fantastic. They make you a priority when an inspection is needed quickly, and they’re always super prompt and respectful of the homes they inspect. The reports, photos, and videos are very detailed and sent in a timely manner as well. AVID is my go-​to company. I can’t say enough great things about this power team! As a Realtor, I feel super comfortable recommending them to my clients, and I use them myself as well. I’d recommend them to all home buyers!

Daryl and Vanessa of Avid Inspection are extremely thorough. When they have finished their inspections which take a few hours, the buyer has a very good picture of the condition of the property. Call them for an inspection. Very easy to work with. Very professional.

Do not use this company! We were told the roof needed a few minor repairs and then a few other minor things were in our home inspection. Well… more repairs were needed. Our roof had leaked and then been «fixed» with glue. That would have been nice to know. We had a leak in the wall from a sink leaking that was not mentioned. Some outlets simply did not work. About $ 3,000 later we have fixed the roof repairs and the electrical outlets that weren’t working. That’s after haggling with over 10 roofers for the best deal with a skilled roofer. When we called the owner about the issues he immediately referred to his insurance. Basically, his insurance fights everything you say and will tell you up front they won’t give you anything. After dealing with that and moving in with a family we just ran out of time and money. This was the worse inspection we have had since he left our major, obvious to the skilled eye, and expensive issues. It is sad when someone takes advantage of a family who is relying on their expertise and does not even try to make it right.

Avid Inspection did a terrific job on our home inspection. Even our agent, who has seen a number of inspections, noted that Darryl did one of the best inspections he has seen. We will use Avid for any future inspections.

These guys are great! Darryl and Brandon came out and inspected a house my wife and I are buying. He is very detailed oriented and his report shows it. The report includes pictures and videos of deficiencies as well as detailed notes on what course should be taken to remedy them. I highly recommend Darryl to anyone purchasing a home.

We had a great experience with Avid. The process was very organized and the online reports were great. Darryl was very thorough with the home inspection. Our walkthrough at the end of the inspection was very helpful. We would recommend Avid to others.

We are first time home buyers entering into the process with a bit of hesitation, but Darryl performed our home inspection and set us at ease. He was very thorough and explained each section of the inspection with the confidence of a seasoned professional, but the friendliness of someone who wanted the best for you. He gave us a great review of things to fix and verified that it was a good house. I definitely recommend Avid and Darryl!

Darryl provided excellent, timely service. He was able to come out on short notice to inspect a home we are buying. You can easily book an appointment online and he responds right away. The report was prepared in a timely manner and he is available to discuss it as needed. We would definitely use this company again.

Darryl came out on very short notice to inspect a home we are in the process of purchasing. He was very professional and approachable. He explained all of the issues outlined in his report and did so with patience and in terms understandable to the average person. We felt confident in his thoroughness. His report includes numerous photos, examples of repair items needed, diagrams and even videos. We also liked his online system of delivering reports — which made it very easy to share the information with our real estate agent, etc. We would recommend him to anyone else in need of a home inspector!

Avid Inspection came to our home for termite check before the purchase was finalized and did a great job. Their report was detailed with pictures, and all that they suggested we do before moving forward with the purchase of the home. They were on time, and did and very detailed with their assessment of the home. Great communication via email and easy ways to pay online for their services.

So, I don’t normally write reviews, but in this case I must! Darryl with Avid Inspection is the BEST! We are purchasing a older home in Burnet and after carefully reading reviews and looking at lots of inspector’s websites, I chose Avid Inspection. Darryl was extremely professional and thorough. His report was specific and with images for everything that he found. I am more than grateful for his expertise and would recommend him to everyone!

Going through the various steps of purchasing a home can be confusing and very frustrating. However, when one of those steps is handled by a professional who is so knowledgeable at the job he is performing, especially a home inspection, a weight is lifted off the buyer’s shoulders.

Darryl Warren notified me of the date and time of the inspection and invited me to be present. He was waiting on me, when I drove up to the house, and I WAS EARLY. His upbeat manner and friendly personality certainly eased the tension I was feeling. This home inspection was a very critical step in whether or not I was going to purchase this house.
He set about inspecting the house like an eagle-​eyed warrior. I was actually able to watch him as he inspected the house, and knew that he was not going to miss a single thing that needed attention. This is not my first time to purchase a house, and I feel I’m pretty observant in spotting flaws in a house. Darryl picked up on things that I probably starred at and never even noticed.
After Darryl completed his very lengthy inspection, he actually sat down with me and went over the entire report. He explained his findings in each and every section of the report, and why he rated the issues he discovered as he had. Besides the «rating», and the supporting pictures, Darryl actually wrote out a lengthy description of every flaw he found. There was no doubt about what needed immediate attention and what could «slide» for a while. I was furnished a written report of Darryl’s findings, and it will be that report from which I work to address the issues he found… large and small.
I left that inspection fully informed as to the condition of the house I was considering buying. If truth be known, Darryl was a very important part in my final decision to buy this house and make it my home.
I know nothing about Avid Inspection Services, LLC. But, if they hire inspectors of Darryl’s quality, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing their services.

Darryl did such a great job on our inspection! He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and spent a lot of time making sure he didn’t miss anything. He also took the time to explain everything in our report as well as offer us tips and suggestions for future maintenance on our house. He was also very accommodating as we had to reschedule our appointment twice. We also got his inspection report on the same day… very fast! I would highly recommend using Darryl for your home inspections.

I hired Darryl at Avid Inspection Services in the process of buying a home in Austin and I was very pleased with the services provided. The inspection performed started on time, was very thorough and conducted in a very professional way. The report (provided the next morning) was very detailed and I am using it as a working document to fix all these tiny little things that are part of a house’s life — but need to get done if you want to protect your investment in the long term.
On top of being very professional, Darryl was very friendly and made a point explaining whatever needed to be all along the inspection.

I am a Realtor and have worked with A LOT of inspectors. Darryl at Avid Inspection Svc is a true professional. He is prompt, reliable, and his services are reasonably priced. I have called him to have an inspection done immediately and he was there at 9:00 am the next day with the report in my e mail at 3:00. I have found my go-​to inspector!

Darryl was prompt, professional and thorough. He put me at ease with his knowledge and friendly personality. I’d happily recommend him to anyone.
