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.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Shelton Home Inspections, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service they provided. From start to finish, their team demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism and expertise that truly set them apart in the industry.One of the standout features of Shelton Home Inspections is their thoroughness. The inspection process was comprehensive, covering all critical aspects of the home, including a detailed sewer scope. This added layer of inspection provided invaluable peace of mind, especially for a first-time homebuyer like myself. Steve took his time, ensuring that no detail was overlooked, and provided a detailed report that was easy to understand, complete with color photos and clear explanations of any issues found. I was also present for the inspection (which I highly recommend for other FTHB), so I got to see the sewer scope in real-time and at the end of the inspection, Steve went over "the good, the bad and the ugly" with me in person, explaining what he found and his recommendations moving forward.In addition to their meticulous approach, Shelton Home Inspections offered the most competitive pricing I found in the area. They provide exceptional value without compromising on quality, making them a top choice for anyone in need of home inspection services.I highly recommend Shelton Home Inspections to other home buyers. Their commitment to quality, competitive pricing, and thorough inspections make them an excellent choice for anyone looking to make an informed decision about their home purchase.
Shelton Home Inspections are the absolute best. We won't use anyone else. Steve did an exceptionally thorough inspection of our home. The report was delivered promptly and the information we learned will save us money down the road. Christine and Steve are always available to get my questions answered. We have used them for both our business and our homes over the years. We won't use anyone else. Thank you Steve and Christine!
Great company to work with! From the first we called them, they were very responsive and prompt. Christine was always there to answer any questions we had. They provided us with a very detailed and accurate impaction report on the inspection day. I recommend them to anyone who needs a great home inspection.
Steve was very thorough and explained everything to us in terms we could understand. The team continued to be available for post-inspection questions and we couldn't be more satisfied with their services.
The team at Shelton Home Inspections did a great job inspecting our home. They were thorough, provided a detailed report, and were pleasant to work with. We are more than pleased with their service!
This family-owned business is the best! Stephen was super attentive and detail-oriented and did an excellet job. We got a detailed report the next day. Chrisinte was very responsive to my calls and scheduling and follow up was easy. We will definitely use them in the future. The inspection cost was very reasonable. We highly recommend this company. Thank you!
Very Professional and knowledgeable. Inspection report was detailed with color pictures and thorough explanations. I highly recommend Shelton Home Inspection.
Once again Shelton Home Inspections came through with a professionally conducted and thorough inspection supporting our recent endeavor to get a reasonable rate for Home Insurance. With their inspection in hand, we can represent the home adequately - I hope - to meet the needs of the underwriter. Zack, our inspector, was cordial and engaging as I hovered over him whenever possible. Their inspections are so well done, I ordered a sewage line inspection which they promptly and efficiently conducted and commented on the condition of the lines and providing a photo and video representation of the lines in the event we need to repair the lines. With this inspection, we now have three under our belt with Shelton and we could not be happier, unless they would do them for free. Great Job Shelton - with a shout out to Zack and Christine.
The only thing that frustrates me about Shelton Home inspections is that I didn’t know about them until after I bought my home.I had realized after living in the house for 2 months that something was office and quickly realized that the inspector I had hired previously had completely failed to properly inspect the foundation of the home despite having paid them too.Shelton came out and did an exceptionally detailed job, sat down with me on the phone and provided us a ton an options for how to approach any and all issues.What’s the best part is that while the quality and extent of work he did (included a sewer scope) was faaaar superior to the other inspectors, he still came in as the much more affordable option.Good inspector. Good man.
Shelton Home Inspections performed an amazing job with my clients and helped us to understand the findings of the report! As a local Realtor, I plan to use them again in the future for any home inspection needs.
On time. Detailed inspection. Reviewed report prior to departure. Report completed next day. Steve and Zach were careful when doing work around antiques in home.
We recommend Shelton Home Inspections! They showed up on time, did a thorough inspection with a knowledgeable inspector. The report came back in a timely mannor. I was also able to download the report which was very helpful.
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!
Prompt, courteous, professional, useful and cost effective. A great home inspection company that you can rely on. Mr. Shelton has long experience and expertise that shows up in the completed reviews. Highly recommended
We have used Shelton twice in the past two months. In both cases they were easy to work with, on time and very professional. The inspection was very thorough. Would highly recommend them if you are looking for an in depth evaluation of a new real estate purchase.
I have referred Steve Shelton as my go to home inspector for many years. Steve is extremely knowledgeable, professional and a great inspector. I highly recommend Shelton Home Inspections.
Shelton Home Inspections has been professional and easy to communicate with. The information is super well documented and easy to use by other professionals. I highly recommend this company.
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.
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.
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!
Very happy with the efficient communication, thoroughness and explanation of issues, ease of scheduling and professionalism all the way around. Report was provided next day as promised, and we are completely satisfied with Steve's performance and quality of work. Would highly recommend and definitely use again, if needed.
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!!!
Steve is very thorough and trustworthy inspector. His inspections are not to check out a box, it's a touch and inspect every accessible areas. Very helpful and informative for buyers and sellers. Happy to always use Steve for my clients home inspections.
