Stephan and Christine are wonderful! So helpful in getting an inspection done. They’re so thorough and explain everything.
Response from the owner: Thank you Tamara! We appreciate your five star review and your business! Happy holidays to you 🙂
Excellent job on the inspection. He did a thorough job and I ended up not getting the home but I am glad I didn't. Now I am going to use them again on my next home. I got almost all of the services they offer.
Response from the owner: Thank you Amy for your five star review and your repeat business!!! We hope this next home is the ONE for you!! 🙏
Fairly priced (in my opinion) and very thorough! I have used them twice and wouldn’t hesitate to do so in the future.
Response from the owner: Thank you Joanna! We appreciate all your business 🙂
Most thorough and detailed inspection I've observed. Being a General Contractor I'm familiar with what needed to be addressed and Mr. Shelton covered everything and more! Would highly recommend this company and their services!
Response from the owner: Thank you Warren for your five star review and comments regarding Mr. Shelton's professional knowledge. All of our inspectors must have this knowledge base as there is far more to purchasing a home as you know than just the routine items and we greatly appreciate your trust in us!
Very helpful and professional
Response from the owner: We appreciate your five star review and business!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Stars for Shelton Home InspectionsWe recently had Shelton Home Inspections inspect our beach condo, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! Zach handled our inspection, and he did an absolutely outstanding job from start to finish.He was punctual, professional, and extremely thorough — taking the time to examine every detail and explain his findings clearly. Zach’s report was detailed, well-organized, and easy to understand, complete with photos and helpful recommendations. It was clear he takes great pride in his work and genuinely cares about ensuring homeowners have all the information they need.Thanks to Zach and the Shelton Home Inspections team, we feel confident moving forward knowing our property was carefully and expertly inspected. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy home inspector — especially if you want true peace of mind.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Tim for your outstanding review!! Zack is a true asset to our company and we appreciate your recognition of his skills. Thank you for your business and we look forward to hearing from you again whenever you purchase your next investment.
As a local St. Petersburg Realtor, I work with a lot of different inspection companies, but when my parents were buying a house I knew I wanted the best and Shelton was my first call. Shelton Home Inspections did a VERY thorough inspection, paying special attention to the areas we were concerned about (roof, electrical, and plumbing). Even with a busy day of inspections scheduled, Stephen patiently sat down and reviewed his inspection photos with us and answered all my parent's questions. We were able to get the electrical panel replacement negotiated into the contract and saved my parents $5,000+. Shelton will remain at the top of my recommendation list for my clients.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Sarah It was a pleasure working with you and your sweet parents as well. Steve and Zack both enjoy speaking with the Realtors and Buyers after their inspections it helps everyone absorb the information better when they get the reports. We appreciate you putting us on your Inspector list and look forward to working with you again!!
Extremely thorough and well-documented inspection with photos and great customer service
Response from the owner: Thank you Gerrett!! So happy you found the dream home you've been looking for!!
Steve spent at least four hours at our prospective home, scoping the pipes, checking for termites, performing the 4 point inspection and more. It was the most thorough inspection we have ever seen. We especially appreciated the way Steve and Christine answered our follow-up questions and concerns, even when we contacted them on their boat during a much needed vacation. This is an exceptional company. We highly recommend them.
Response from the owner: Very much our pleasure! We take our family owned business and our clients needs very seriously and we appreciate your business and trust in us!!!
very professional Home inspection. Zack was great. I would definitely recommend for a inspection on a home purchase
Response from the owner: Thank you John!!!
Great company and service! Needed a 4-point and Wind Mitigation inspection for new insurance. Easy to schedule, thorough and reliable inspection, and super fast turnaround on the reports. Would highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thank you Adrienne!! We greatly appreciate you and your business 🙂
Very thorough inspection, extremely knowledgeable. Recommend highly.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Mary, we appreciate you!!
Response from the owner: Thank you John, we appreciate your five Star review and your business!!
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.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Scott. Always a pleasure working with you as well. We appreciate the review and can't wait to work with you again in the future!!
I am a Realtor and called Christine on behalf of my out of state buyer who needed a sewer scope. She was able to schedule Inspector Stephen the SAME day!! We got the inspection report and video of the sewer scope back the next day. Everything was explained in great detail so we could fully understand the findings. It was a great experience!Christine is a huge advocate for Realtors and always goes above and beyond for us and our clients. Not only does she run a busy inspection company, but she also hosts a weekly Realtor pitch session to connect and uplift agents and affiliates. Thank you Christine! I appreciate you! 🙂
Response from the owner: Thank you Maggie! We appreciate your business. We know how difficult your job can be as a realtor and depths you have to go for your clients so if we can help during this inspection process we absolutely will. We have tremendous respect for great realtors like yourself!!
Great service!
Response from the owner: Thank you Enrico!! We appreciate you and your business 🙂
I used them for a new build and it was money well spent. They pointed out things I would have never thought to address with the developer. Extremely thorough and professional. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Constantine for your five Star review and are glad that you too see the value in getting a new construction home inspection. Most reputable good Builders appreciate and encourage the service as well. It keeps their construction crews on their toes.!!
This is the third time I used Shelton Home Inspection and each time I have been impressed with how thorough and professional they have been. I recommend anyone shopping for this service to simply select them as they are the best.
Response from the owner: Thank you Tom for all your business! And your 5 star review!! We absolutely pride our business on honest quality work and appreciate your recognition. Best wishes to you 🙂
Response from the owner: Thank you, Peter, we appreciate your five Star review and your business!!
Response from the owner: Thank you Maribeth!
I recently had my home inspections done by Zack at Shelton Home Inspection. Zack was very thorough even though I opted only to do the 4pt and termite inspection. Then he sat down with me and went over everything which I really appreciated, within a day I received a digital copy of the report professionally done with photographs. I found Shelton Home Inspection to be very responsive and quick to schedule my inspections and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thank you, Rita. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to give us your review and for your five stars!! We look forward to hearing from you again In the future.
We were looking at a house to buy and not sure of what we might find so a friend of us gave us the name of Shelton Home Inspections and we are so glad he did. They are professional and beyond thorough. The tool they use to feedback information to you on your inspections makes it simple to understand what needs to be done to create documents for others who you need to help do your repairs Etc. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Sally for your five star review and your compliments! We do truly care about helping people find the perfect home for them and make the process as easy and painless as possible. We do greatly appreciate you!!
Steve has been doing inspections for us for the past 10 years and always does a thorough job!
Response from the owner: Thank you, Wendi for all your business over the years. We always try to return the business through Bob's Lees! And yes, we are in the business of not only being home, inspectors for buyers and sellers, but for rental owners to get a honest, fair opinion of what's really going on before hiring the appropriate professional. Thanks again to you and Todd!!
Best inspector out there! He’s very thourough and even after we bought the house, he was really helpful! We learned a lot and being a first time homeowner he made it a lot less scary
Response from the owner: We love working with all buyers, but especially first time homebuyers. Congratulations on a major accomplishment!! and please remember even though your home inspection is complete we are home advocate, so feel free to call us whenever you need some guidance on future projects regarding your home.
WOW! We were so impressed with the Inspection this Company gave us. Covering and observing all discrepancies to the small blemishes to our home. I highly recommend Shelton Home Inspections you'd be extremely satisfied.

This inspection company has been amazing! I’m buying a house in St. Pete and doing it sight unseen and not only were their reports so thorough, but the assistance afterward with questions I had were spot on and Christine was so extremely helpful to go over my concerns. I would highly recommend this company!
Response from the owner: Thank you!! We appreciate your business and yes we are here for our customers even after the purchase 🙂 and love that part of our job too!
The experience was wonderful. Stephen was very thorough and helped me to find many issues that needed to be addressed. I believe he is honest and thorough.
Response from the owner: Thank you Paru for your review and taking the time to provide it. Steve is a very honest Inspector and always takes the time with each job and the client as if it was his own. We appreciate your business and your five Star review!
Steve is exceptional. He found many items while inspecting our condo prior to closing. Everything is well documented and the owners had to fix multiple items before closing. This saved us a lot of money. You’ll not find a better company. Easily pays back the cost of the inspection. Highly highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Dane for your five Star review, your business and your comments about our Inspector Steve! We do know that we are not the least expensive in town, but we will definitely provide you the value for the cost of the inspections! We wish you well with your new condo and please let us know if you ever need recommendations or information as a new condo owner!
Response from the owner: Thank you, Salman for your five star review we appreciate your business!
I called on a Saturday to ask a question about wind impact garage doors and Christine answered and gave me very helpful information. After I installed a new wind impact garage door, I scheduled an inspection for wind mitigation. Stephen Shelton is very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He completed the inspection yesterday and I had the completed wind mitigation report this morning. I appreciate the great customer service!Stephen Shelton just completed a new 4 point home inspection for me. He was thorough and professional and completed the report on the same day. Also, I have to thank Mr. Shelton for sending out to his customers a couple months ago a hurricane storm preparation guide explaining all the materials needed to curtail storm surge on one's home. I will be using his helpful guide this storm season.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Cheryl. You're very welcome. Glad that we could be of assistance on all of this. Yes we have a very valuable tool That is now also on our website blog page about how to prep your home to prevent flooding that we did to our own home during the 2024 hurricane season..
Always excellent and professional service!
Response from the owner: Thank you Mike always great working with you!!
As a real estate agent, I have used Shelton Home Inspections many times before. I have always been pleased with the quality of their work, their thorough and well-produced inspection reports, and their professionalism. In a recent case, I had the opportunity to use them for my personal residence and once again, found them to be the best in the business. Both Steve and Christine Shelton followed through personally to make sure that the issues brought up in my inspection were followed up on and even provided me with excellent recommendations and solutions to take care of the issues. I greatly appreciated that and followed their recommendations and achieved the results that I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other real estate agents and to anyone buying a home or anyone just needing a professional and non-biased inspection of any of the systems in their home. I value their opinion and judgement and I am confident that you will too.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Ben for your kind words and we are very happy that you were able to help you with your unusual situation. We greatly value your business and our partnership. We want to be more to our customers than just when they're buying or selling. Owning a home is serious business and we too were glad we could help you and your family with this one! 🙂
Shelton Home Inspections did the inspection on our new build. Not only were they extremely thorough, but they went above and beyond. They took their time and went through every inch of the home, noticing even the smallest of imperfections. Even our builder commented many times on how good of an inspection they conducted. I’m grateful they conducted our inspection and I feel confident moving in with peace of mind all thanks to the Shelton team!
Response from the owner: Thank you, Melanie for your five star review and seeing the value in getting an inspection on even new construction. Also glad to hear your Builder was happy with our inspection. We appreciate your business and hope you enjoy your new home!!
