Hawkeye Home Experts

I recently used Hawkeye for a inspection with somewhat mixed results. The inspector only spent about a hour or so at the house, which was a little bit concerning since the house wasn't that small. The report was delivered quickly but was not particularly thorough. The report did flag some significant issues on the house but who knows what was missed.

DO NOT CONTRACT THESE GUYS FOR REPAIRS AFTER HOME INSPECTION This company did our home inspection when we bought our house. The inspection was comprehensive and we were pleased. However, they recommended repairs for some dry rot issues found during inspection. They contacted us for the repairs and we agreed to have them do repairs. We paid them up front, which I later realized you should never do. They sub contracted a company to do repairs. The sub did bare minimum, and shoddy work. When replacing some siding, instead of using house wrap or appropriate water/moisture barrier, they used painters paper (brown paper used to tape off floors when painting). Didn’t bother contacting Hawkeye cause they already had my money. If you’re going to use them for inspections, fine. But do not pay them for repairs.

Missed a gas leak on home inspection. Contacted them to fix it and they came, left a hose, and refused to do any further work. Acted defensively saying it was not their responsibility. A gas leak is a safety issue and any home inspector should be familiar with assessing it. In the report, there was no mention of them examining the gas supply to the stove at all. If they miss this on your inspection, you will end up paying hundreds later on.

We just used Hawkeye for our inspection. We bought a home that was direct through the owner (they were also a Real Estate agent). Lori on the phone was very helpful. She had us do everything online and it was super convenient. Raymond was the inspector that showed up. He was very professional and extremely thorough. They caught every little detail and it ended up saving us thousands in negotiating the price. Funny enough the agent selling the house recommended him. They should probably start referring lesser quality inspectors. LOL. Joking aside I will now use them and refer them every time!

They did a great job and the report that was provided was very detailed.

We closed on our house late May 2023, and we had Hawkeye Home Inspection services. The first day we moved in, we smelt gas in the house, and asked for assistance from our gas company. They showed up very fast and noted that the gas cook top line is leaking gas. Next we found out that the flours under the toilets in two different bathrooms were rotted and it had to be replaced (floors are exposed from the basement). The inspector mentioned that a very small tree root may cause problem, but he did not mention the giant oak in the front the house is almost dead (I understand that he is not an Arborist). Next we found out that the waterlines in the walls are loose and rattle against the walls anytime we open or close the faucets, dishwasher lock down mechanism is broke and it does not work, microwave rotating tray was not original and it was not spinning. I believe he should have noted these deficiencies a mentioned in the inspection report.

Great attention to detail, knowledge and professionalism

Received a very helpful report on the home we are buying.

The inspector did a thorough job, and explained report patiently.

Very thorough, he was able to point out many things that wouldn't be normally noticed.

Hawkeye Home Experts has inspected 3 different homes for me. They provide top notch service, easy scheduling, and do a complete and thorough inspection every time.

excellent👌

Very professional. Recommended by our realtor to use for our home as "everyone is Sacramento seems to recommend them". Came out and explained in thorough detail during the inspection on our 60+ year old home we were going to purchase. Provided lots of great and honest information. Would recommend!

Raymond was prompt, professional and honest. We felt very confident in the service that was provided and would call him in the future for any needs.

Every part of this experience was phenomenal. The expertise, the knowledge, the guidance and insight was greatly appreciated. I would go to the extent that they will always be my go to company from now on.

Good experience excellent customer service ..Good communication

Hawkeye and their staff were excellent. They responded quickly to our call and were able to care for the business promptly. They came when they said they would and cared for the business at hand in a kind and professional way. Hawkeye came recommended and we pass on this recommendation to others. Jerry Hearon

Raymond with the home inspection team and Lori with the office staff are awesome. Went through a very bad experience with a relator and was going to be out of luck having to pay for home inspections twice (after I fired the terrible realtor and hired a much better one). When I shared with Lori my experience, she was nice enough to work with me on multiple levels including providing me with a returning customer discount when we needed Hawkeye to inspect our second potential home as first time homebuyers. We definitely recommend this company for anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, understanding, and professional home inspection services!

Very thorough, and professional job. I appreciated his advice and walk through after the inspection.

Very detailed report. I felt that the report was well worth the cost. The timing of getting the inspection done and then getting a report almost immediately was very instrumental in purchasing my home.

Great service. Very helpful, professional and always willing to answer any questions that you have.

Hawkeye has such wonderful people :) every time I’ve called them, I’ve spoken to such friendly, informative, and helpful folks! They did my home inspection last year and I’ll be using them for general contracting here soon, and I’m so grateful this company exists! Thanks so much!!
