We absolutely appreciated the professionalism of both Caleb, & Trent. They were very thorough in their inspection of our home, went over all concerns very kindly and made everything easy to understand. I felt confident in our purchase because of them. I would love to have Blackland inspectors back for seasonal inspections to make sure our home stays in good condition. I will also say that this company is highly competitive in pricing and that was another attractive factor, along with quick availability.

We have worked with Clayton and Julie for many years and we highly recommend their services. Their team is very experienced and thorough. We particularly like the infrared thermal imaging to reveal leaks behind walls or in attics that otherwise can't be seen. Caleb was very proficient and a pleasure to work with at our most recent inspection. He worked 5 hours and was very detailed in our report. Blackland's concierge services are convenient and they even provide Monster Free certificates for the kids to enjoy and feel extra safe in their new home. You need Blackland's team when evaluating your next investment.

I have used Blackland twice in the last month. Caleb Moore was my home inspector and Blackland and Caleb saved us from a home that looked great on the surface, but was hiding a lot of serious problems. The most recent trip was on the 5th of July and we could not have been happier with his assistance and inspection of what will now be our new home.

See update below.
After my initial two-star review, the owner reached out to me to discuss the issues I had. Overall, he was helpful and informative and I believe we were able to achieve a common ground. There was an item or two that I believe should have been memorialized on the report for my information due to not being present for the majority of the inspection. Thank you for reaching out to discuss the original problems I posted about.
UPDATE: I’m leaving my revised review up because the owner was cordial. I wonder if my inspection would have been better had the owner conducted it versus Caleb. Three months of homeownership (7/4) and I’ve had to hire a structural engineer to come evaluate my home for significant foundation problems. I paid for the top tier package this home inspection company offers and I regret purchasing it. I should have paid for the basic package and then found experts for the remaining items (pool, plumbing, foundation, etc.). At the end of our inspection with Caleb, he told us based on the numbers of the foundation elevation survey of the home, it was “balancing” itself out. Here I am now about to spend thousands of dollars on foundation repairs.
The takeaway message is this: I never ever felt good about the thoroughness/value for my money that the report this inspection company provided to me. I regret a lot about the day of the inspection, including utilizing this company. If you utilize their services, please only pay for the basic package and then hire outside experts for the big ticket items.

Tom did a great job in the inspection of this home. He was very professional and took care in wearing feet/shoe protection to keep the floors clean of debris. Ton took time on location to explain his findings. I will be recommending Blackland Home Inspections to others for piece of mind.

If I could give them a one but there customer servers is good. I used blackland heme inspections in February.
I had questions about the inspection proses trying to make sure they did a thorough inspection. HE told me they did but I found out that couldn't be further from the truth. I just got back home from a deployment. wan I started inspecting the house myself, there were a lot of issues.
-Sprinkler system is one
the inspector himself told me that all the zones of the system are properly functional that was wrong. I just went through all the system and most of the sprinklers are not functional. And the inspection he said they just need a little adjustment.
They also said they don't care about cosmetic stuff meaning as long as it's not gonna cause the house to break down they don't care.
all their inspections items have a disclaimer that says further evaluated and corrected by a Licensed personnel.
The individual they sent out also failed to mark some parts of the
inspection sheet. when I called to see why, they said he just messed up and forgot to mark it. So if he's going make a mistake on something as simple as putting a checkmark on a iPad. How many other things has he forgotten about to inspect?
I am honestly mad!!
I do not recommend this Company, they have good customer service and they seem like nice enough people.
But that's not gonna stop a leak or something that wasn't properly inspected form causing you to pay thousands of dollars out-of-pocket.
I requested a refund so I can get The house reinspected Because There was a doubt left in my mind they did not do there due diligence.
they offered to come back and show me how the sprinkler System worked.
I just hope there is nutting big or hidden, I don't know anything about.

Blackland Home Inspections were top notch! Julie is super sweet and easy to talk to. She explained the options and everything they do very well.

He did a very thorough inspection of the home, and went over the report with us. We feel a lot more confident in our purchase. I highly recommend them as inspectors and would use them again. I also think their pricing is very fair for today's market.

Caleb seemed very thorough in giving me the report since I was not able to be there during it. The sellers are putting a new roof on the house and got a plumber out to fix the master shower and it is draining properly now. We I’ll be adding extra gutters as Caleb suggested as well as extending where they stop right by the foundation. So it looks as though it is going to go through. Thank you all for all the help. It was greatly appreciated. I really didn’t understand the concierge services you mentioned unless it was to recommend contractors and I think we have that handled. Thanks so much.

What a fabulous experience! Julie and Clayton (owners) went out of their way to answer questions and explain offered services. They are exceptionally available for all matters large and small.
The inspector, Tom Camlin, was highly recommended and I now understand exactly why. He was so thorough. After the inspection was completed, he went through it with me, item by item. He was willing to explain his findings and answer all of the great volume of questions I presented.
Mostly, the inspection was for peace of mind on new construction. We are grateful for Tom's careful eye so we can finish up the construction process with all the details appropriately addressed. Last, so glad to have a baseline on our foundation measurements should we have problems in the future.
I could not more highly recommend Backland Home Inspections, its owners Julie and Clayton, and our inspector Tom.

The owner provided great information over the phone about the inspection process and services they offer, and was able to get me on their schedule right away.
Caleb conducted our inspection and did a great job. He was very thorough and detailed, and took the time to answer my questions during the inspection, and to go over the report with us at the end of the inspection.
They use technology to increase the scope and accuracy of their inspection such as thermal imaging camera and an altimeter to measure any movement in the foundation. And, the report was in my email inbox before we left the property!
Being able to add services such as the foundation measurement, septic inspection and testing, pool equipment testing and a termite inspection helps give me peace of mind and consolidates how many professionals I need to schedule to get a solid review of the home I am buying.

We used Caleb Moore for two separate inspections this year. The initial for a house we thought we wanted, and the inspection went very smoothly. He ended up finding a lot more wrong with the house than we thought and saved us from a bad deal. He just completed our new build final inspection. Everything is so detailed and meticulous. He found things we weren’t aware of and gave us such peace of mind. With a new build, there can be some red flags that we wouldn’t know to see and he found anything and everything and confirmed nothing was alarming. He found items such as random screws that need to be sealed on the roof and screws missing on the new fence. I really suggest using this company for your inspection needs just by how thorough. I decided to stop by while the inspection was happening just to see if anything else popped up that he may not have caught and he found everything I noticed. The report is explained in full and any questions any answered no matter how small. I did not feel like a nuisance while being there, but made sure to stay out of his way.

Fantastic company for inspections! Extremely happy we chose Blackland for our new home purchase. Owners are friendly, kind, fast and patient. The inspectors, Tom and Caleb, performed an excellent review of the home. Our report results were very thorough and had great pictures to reference.
We showed up for the last hour and felt welcomed and prioritized. I was worried we would be in their way but they never made us feel like an annoyance or burden. Tom was very thoughtful and thorough. Answered all our questions and gave easy to understand explanations to ensure we knew what was found. He also helped us understand general home maintenance tips to either remedy or avoid certain things.
I'll definitely use this company in the future, as well as, recommend to family and friends! 🙂

All great in my book!!! Easy to set up, great response time, clear communication. We had a very pleasant experience with Caleb, the inspector. He was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain his findings and the "whys" behind them. I strongly recommend Blackland Home Inspections to anyone needing a home inspection.

Blackland home inspections is an amazing company, and they care about providing a top notch inspection experience. They treat the inspection as if it were for a family member and are very thorough! Tom in particular was our inspector and he found some pretty important things that needed to be addressed in the home we are considering buying. He was patient with all my questions and he provided an extremely detailed report on his findings that I believe truly helped us when we went back to the sellers. I am grateful our realtor connected us to Tom and Blackland home inspections, we definitely would trust them time and time again!

Let me start by saying how grateful I am I hired Blackland for our home inspection. The knowledge and professionalism they bring to you is second to none. It is because of them and only them we dodged a huge bullet on a previous home inspection. For that reason we hired them again for another home inspection. Their honesty and pride in their craft can not go unnoticed. I recommend Blackland to absolutely anyone and everyone.

My inspector Caleb was very knowledgeable and patient with me I asked questions regarding the condition of my home. He made sure to include any and all concerns that I had to the inspection report. Julie was also very pleasant to work with. She took a call from me after hours concerning a scheduling concern that I had. I would definitely recommend this company to any and all who are buying a new or pre-owned home. Peace of mind is priceless. Thank you Blackland!

Blackland went above and beyond to provide us with amazing service. They rescheduled to accommodate our needs, Caleb called and walked us through his findings after spending a day doing inspections, and Caleb was beyond knowledgeable! He took his time while talking with us and was helpful every step of the way. We could not be more satisfied with our experience and the customer service we received from Blackland Home Inspections. Thank you all so much, you are wonderful at what you do!

Tom was the Inspector assigned to check out the townhome I'm interested in purchasing. When he had completed his inspection, he called me so I could meet with him to discuss his findings. Tom really impressed me with his knowledge, professional manner and his presentation and advice. I felt more confident about this purchase after meeting with him. The experience with the Blackland Home Inspection team has been a pleasurable worry free and problem free experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing to get a home inspection!

Every interaction with the office and the inspector himself was positive. As this was our first home buying rodeo, we needed extra guidance and flexibility. They worked with us when setting the appointment, let us know what was needed and what to expect, and helped us to understand the inspection report. Additionally, and most importantly, the report itself was thorough and illuminated several problems for us. As such, it had a huge impact on the home buying negotiations and preparing us for what would need to be done if we end up buying.
All in all, 5 stars, would recommend.

The folks at Blackland have inspected 4 houses for me over the process of moving twice and purchasing a new home. Their customer service, patience and understanding of schedule changes, thorough communication, and expertise is by far a huge blessing in the home buying process. I would highly recommend them to help with your home buying process. Thank you team for your help once again.

I was impressed with their service overall. The entire team from the front office to the guys on the ground who completed the inspection where courteous, professional and knowledgeable. They spent four hours going over every part of the home and I felt like they caught everything. The report I was presented was state of the art with pictures and interactive notes. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a home inspection.

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with Blackland. They provided the inspection for a house we had under contract. Timing was important to us and they were able to inspect the home the next day. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, friendly, and thorough. Crystal was extremely helpful in getting us scheduled. Caleb and Clay not only did a great job at the house, but provided an immediate report of their observations, and even gave a lot of information that was beyond the scope of the report. Julie was helpful and responsive when we had follow-up questions. We enthusiastically recommend Blackland.

Blankland Home Inspections are AMAZING!!! My husband and I are purchasing a home and needed an inspection conducted within 3 days. They were booked out, but managed to find a way to help. Both Clay and Caleb did an amazing job especially in this heat and took their time going over the findings with us. Would recommend them to anyone that needs an inspection.

Blackland is courteous, thorough and timely.
It was worth having the inspection done for peace of mind. We had a few areas identified by Caleb that wouldn't be acceptable for a new build. Now we can get the repairs made and love our builder before we close. Thanks for looking out for me.

We requested an inspection before our 1 year home purchase warranty ran out. They responded quickly, made the appointment and were great about communicating throughout the process.

Clay was very detailed in our home inspection. He gave his suggestions and recommendations for continued maintenance on the property being inspected. Honest, professional, last minute response and could not have asked for anything better. Hire this team and please read their reviews. Most are 5 stars but you will have a few one stars. Those reviews were answered with explanations.

So, I called at 9pm on Friday night on Labor Day Weekend with only 3 days to get my inspection done.... Clayton was there at 8am the next morning! He is thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. He explained everything he noted in a concise no frills way that was easy to understand and also made it plain the items that i should address immediately and others that I just need to keep a close eye on. I am a first time buyer and this process is a bit overwhelming. I feel completely at ease with the condition of the home I chose based on his findings. I will certainly refer Blackland Home Inspections to anyone who asks. They were wonderful to do business with!

Scheduled a home inspection with Blackland and dealt initially with Julie and then Crystal. Both were extremely responsive and flexible. The seller had a hectic schedule he was trying to manage and needed to reschedule the inspection several times. Julie and Crystal took the initiative to change things around to accommodate the schedule every time. In addition, I did not have to do anything to facilitate, they just took care of it. This was critical as we were nearing the end of our option period and I was out of state. Once onsite, Clay (inspector) was very thorough, patient, and took the time to explain everything in detail. And this was around 6:00 PM on a Friday prior to a holiday weekend after they had already been at the property for 4 hours. Written report was very professional and available immediately after the inspection, again saving time prior to our option period ending. Very impressed and I will definitely use their service again.

I was referred to this company by my listing agent. I contacted the company and talked with Julie who was very professional and polite. Julie explained the process and answered all my questions. After the service was complete I received a copy of the report promptly and also a thank you from the company. I have used this company to complete 2 inspections fir me over the last 2 months. I will definitely use this company again.

If I could give more than five stars, I would! Julie and Crystal were phenomenal. Crystal proactively resolved a scheduling issue to accommodate our sellers and was wonderful to communicate with. Clayton did a great job of explaining the inspection report to me in a way that was thorough, easy to understand, and not at all condescending— in my experience a difficult trifecta to come by. 10/10 would recommend!

Every interaction I've had with anyone from Blackland has been excellent. Crystal talked me through the details of the inspection and contacted the sales agent, builder, and anyone else necessary to make sure we were good to go for the inspection. The inspector, Tom, communicated with me about the time we needed to meet to go over the inspection, and walked me through everything he noted on the report. Everything was timely and easy to understand. I highly recommend Blackland!

Wonderful, very intricate, timely, inspections done for remodeled homes that I was looking to purchase for myself for my retirement home. the first home I had inspected Blackland was able to arrive on very short notice, and found some serious foundation and other issues, and had I purchased this home without their inspection it would have cost me thousands of dollars to fix. My next inspection with backland on a different home showed me signs of normal wear and tear on a 50 year old remodeled home and a few things that i will call specialists in to check and or repair but that the house was selling at a fair price. I am purchasing this house.
Thanks to Chads wonderful very through inspection I will feel safe purchasing and living in my new home and I Highly recommend Blackland Home Inspections for anyone needing a thorough home inspection.

Blackland Home Inspections is the best choice for your home inspection needs! We have used them twice now while searching for our starter home. We spoke with Crystal to schedule both times and she is so sweet and helpful! Tom completed our first inspection and he was extremely thorough and walked me through every little thing and didn’t make me feel ignorant when I asked a million questions. Our second inspection (hopefully our last) is scheduled for the 26th of this month because we aren’t schedule to close until the first week of May as the house isn’t finished yet but I know whoever completes our inspection will be just as good as the last time! We will definitely use them again when we purchase our forever home 🖤

Backland gave us an incredibly thorough inspection, and a report to match that inspection. They kept my wife and I from making a very costly mistake and saved us over 100k in the process. I would recommend them to anyone who is buying or selling a home. My wife and I are both extremely grateful. The seller and seller’s agent, probably not as grateful.

The team at Clayton Houston and Blackland Home Inspections is absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were in the process of purchasing a house. We had a ton of questions and concerns about the home inspection process. Julie went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and address every concern. She was able to work with our busy schedules to get the house inspection done. She was very thorough, helpful and polite. After speaking with her we instantly knew we wanted them to do our inspection. The inspection process was also great. The inspector was very thorough and took time to explain things to us well. He answered all of our questions and listened to us. He addressed every concern and educated us very well throughout the process. I highly recommend this company and will be advising anyone I come across to get them to do their home inspections.

The staff with Blackland Home Inspections made the entire process smooth and easy from the beginning. I called on a Monday to set up house, pest and sprinkler inspection and they were able to schedule an inspection for Wednesday. Very quick and efficient. On the day of the inspection, they called us an hour before they were done so we could go to the property and discuss in person what was found during the inspection. Everyone we spoke with was very professional and informative. I would highly recommend using this company!

This is the follow up Blackland inspection for our new house for that critical one year period before warranty. Would not go with anyone else. Detailed, easy to read report, valuable to both us as buyers and the sellers and now the builders. Scheduling everything was a breeze. The report was professional. They also provide a great debrief and as a engineer I appreciated the detail. Would recommend them to anyone that wants a home inspection at a fair price that will save you a bundle in the end. Not to mention the piece of mind.

This is our second time to use Blackland Inspections. I don't know what else I can say about them except they are the ones to call for any type home inspections. The cost of the inspection is nothing compared to the money they can save you on unnoticed/hidden repairs.
Need a home inspection? Who you gonna call...Blackland!
If you want an inspection worth your money and one you can trust....Blackland Home Inspections is the place to call. From the initial call, to set up the home inspection with his office personnel to meeting him at the site, everything was great. Not having been involved with home inspections, I was apprehensive as to how thorough the inspection would be. After seeing Mr. Houston go about the inspection, all my doubts were gone. All I need say is no stone was left unturned. If I ever have any other inspections, just know I'll be calling Blackland and will recommend them to others.

This is my second time using Blackland for a home inspection. Clay inspected the first home and was extremely thorough and very informative as to how to mitigate items that needed repair. Brittany performed the inspection on a second home. She was just as thorough and knowledgeable. Brittany went above and beyond pulling out a shovel and digging an area she had concerns of water leakage. I did not see the water on the surface but somehow she knew it was deep in the ground. I could not be more satisfied with both Clay and Brittany. Also, Julie who schedules the appt. is extremely nice. Excellent customer service all around.
