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.

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.

1727267130

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!

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.

Shelton does a very detailed and efficient inspection. They are on time and a trusted partner when buying or selling property or even an issue such as a water leak in your home and you need to know where the moisture is and any damage it may have caused. I always recommend them when asked for a good inspection company.
