Recently purchased a house and had it inspected by them and can’t list the number of things that are wrong / missed by them. Freezer & ice maker on the fridge…broken. Hot water in one of the bathrooms…. Broken. Paid extra for a “pool” inspection and they didn’t even check the salt system to see if the buttons worked right…. broken & costs 3k to replace.Pest service thinks we got a rat/mouse under our house too. Was assured that they didn’t find any droppings after asking specifically about the space. Watch out bc their reports full of pictures don’t tell the whole story.

He came on time, did a thorough inspection, and explained the findings to me. He also sent a printed report with pictures and recommendations and a list of reputable companies to help resolve problems. 5 Stars!

Shelton Home Inspections did my home inspection prior to purchasing my FL beach property. I hired them after hurricane Helene & Milton to access the damage and they provided me a detailed report with pictures of the main issues that need attention.They are the best and provided me with a referral list to contact some of their business partners to assist me with my "to do list"On a scale of 1- 10, I give them a 10+

Amazing inspection! This is the best inspector I have ever had. They found all kinds of issues with the house. Excellent details about the issues. Great people to work with and they had the best price too.

Shelton Home Inspections is incredibly responsive, professional and thorough. When we installed a new roof on our Pinellas County home, we needed a new wind mitigation report. Scheduling the appointment with Shelton was easy, the inspector showed up on time, and we received the report the next day. Five stars for Shelton Home Inspections Inc.!

I have been using Shelton for many years now. From needs around purchasing my home to working with them to get appropriate insurance documentation last minute for some other project, they’ve always been extremely helpful, reliable, and knowledgeable. Christine in particular has gone above and beyond for me in the past! I know I can trust Shelton to value what I value, all while patiently educating me as a homeowner. I never write reviews but Shelton has definitely earned this 5 star! I won’t use any other inspection company in Tampa Bay.

Zach conducted the inspection on the initial home I was under contract with. His work was thorough and explanation was detailed. When the deal fell through, it was a no brainer to work with him and the Shelton team again.

Rather poor customer service and lack of transparency in my inspections makes it difficult for me to recommend, or want to hire them again.Firstly, I decided to hire Shelton Home Inspections to do a new home inspection on a home that I was under contract on because of the positive Google reviews. Initial customer service from Christine was good overall, but turned rather rudely shortly after I started asking questions on specifics and expectations. She just said to raise the questions to the inspector. Probably should have walked away from the company at that point but I decided to trust the reviews because I wanted a job well done.Initial home inspection was good overall I'd say. Looking back though there were concerns with the HVAC and ductwork that should have been caught by the inspector and mentioned on the inspection report. Case and point: visible growth on ductwork/boxes junctions in attic. Looking closely at the photos in the report, it is apparent that the mastic tape and sealant is not completely white and free of mildew / growth as it should be - it has dark growth on it. This should have definitely been noticed by the inspector and mentioned, in my opinion.Secondly, I had the inspector come back out for a re-inspection because one of the attic access panels was sealed during the first inspection visit. The main problem with the inspection is this: the inspector took a photo of the access panel slightly open, but not all the way open, such that I could not see the attic in the photo. "Odd", I thought to myself at the time, since the other two access panels in the home were completely removed in their respective photos. I didn't overthink it though as I was preoccupied with the home passing the inspection so that we could close. I trusted the inspector to act in my best interest, or at least impartial to the process. The reason that the inspector did not add a completely open access panel photo to the report is because there is conduit and an electrical wire directly above the attic access space, laying directly on the wood. This is a code violation. Why he didn't mention this to me over the phone or in the report is disappointing and made me lose trust in the company.I recently called Christine to ask her about this, and inline with her past customer experience, she was dismissive of my concern. Only when I pushed back and asked to speak to a manager or the owner (she told me she is the owner at this point) did she actually listen to my concern. Long story short, she called me back later the same day, after having spoken with the inspector, and told me that the reason that he didn't mention it in his report is because they (Shelton) "DO NOT REPORT CODE VIOLATIONS" on there reports. I was at a loss for words at this point since that is why I hired a home inspector. I didn't even argue back because at this point I realized she did not want to help solve my problem caused by the inexperience / dishonesty of her inspector.This was my experience with the company and I decided to write a review so that others are aware of how your home inspection experience may go if you hire Shelton Home Inspections.

Professional, thorough in regard to every detail of a home inspection, provide excellent reports within 24 hours which Steve or Zach will review with buyer or seller. Purchasing or selling a home is stressful. As a Reator for 21+ years, they are on the top of my list when clients ask for recommendations. They truly are Customer Service oriented, with a positive attitude and eager to help and provide the best service possible. That's imperative for me to pass on to my clients/friends/family!

Steve Shelton just performed a home inspection, termite inspection and 4-point and wind mitigation inspection on the home we plan to buy later this month. I could not be more satisfied with his thoroughness, and as a result, will move in with peace of mind and a clear understanding of the condition of every part of our house and likely future replacement timelines. I enthusiastically recommend Steve as a careful, knowledgeable home inspection professional.

I have used Shelton Home Inspections twice and have been recommending them since the first inspection. I appreciated how thorough Steve was with conducting the inspections and the detailed explanations that followed. All my questions are always patiently answered by Steve who is pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional.

1543595879

I am a young first time home buyer and was very nervous with the entire process. Shelton Home Inspections was incredibly kind and helpful, from my initial phone call with them to the break down of the inspection. They took a little extra time with me to go over everything thoroughly and answer all of my questions/concerns! They are an honest and reliable company which seems to be hard to come by these days. I would absolutely use Shelton Home Inspections again, and recommend them to everyone!

Living in CA buying a new home in Florida can be nerve wracking. Shelton inspections made the whole process worry free. I know that may sound cliché, but that’s what is important from my end. My partner and our realtor were in charge of the technical/inspection findings.
I felt the inspection was thorough but not over the top.

1537874851

We were nervous, out of town buyers and everything about the process was wonderful. We had great communication and couldn't be happier! Would recommend to anyone!

1536779482

Have worked with them when they were in the pest control business. Very reputable history. Local family owned & grown !

We have had the pleasure of using Shelton Homes Inspections, TWICE!! The first time Steve's diligence to detail saved us from making a huge mistake! The next inspection turned out to be THE place of our dreams. His attention to detail is second to none. He truly goes over and beyond other companies. His wife Christine is so very pleasant and extremely acomadating. Needless to say we highly recommend their services, and would positively use them again ourselves!! A top notch company, even our Realtor was impressed!!!
