A Complete Home Inspection Service

Inspection was done and provided the inspection report. This is all good.
On the items, builder pushed back and needed clarifications from the Home Inspector.
He did not respond back to calls/​emails/​text, after Inspecting the Home. I consider this to be the reliability indicator in which he did not perform well.
Waste of time and money.

TL; DR — David is amazing, patient and catches everything. Don’t hesitate, hire him.
David was the consummate professional. He highly recommends going on the inspection w him, which I did (and I recommend you do too). It was easily the best money I spent on the house purchase. He was full of tips on things to watch out for, what certain things mean, and more importantly, he was more than happy to answer any questions with the patience of a Buddhist monk.
His sharp eye caught everything, he took photos which also helped in my negotiations with the seller during the option period.
I will highly recommend him to my friends and fam.
You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the kickass job you did, David!

David was extremely thorough and took his time as he inspected my new home. He had extensive knowledge of the latest codes/​regulations and gave a detailed report of required changes for me to share with the builder. Very impressed and will use him again!

Very precise. Took his time to give complete details and additional information any first time home buyer would need as far as what to look for during an inspection and tips that will help you while owning your home. David was professional and punctual. I will use him and refer him to anyone that wants an affordable high quality inspection.

David did inspection for the last condo i purchased. He had pretty detailed knowledge about the work and gave me very useful tips. I was quite happy with him and would love to hire him again.

I hired David to come inspect the house I’m buying based on the reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. I called on Saturday to get an appointment for the following week and he was able to fit me in on Monday morning. He explained the entire inspection process before beginning and encouraged me to follow along during the process. This is my first time buying a home so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. David was very thorough and has a concise and informative way of putting things; it really helped put my mind at ease about the condition of the house. He knew all the building standards from when the house was built and how it relates to building standards now. You can tell he doesn’t just show up to make money, he really understands the importance of his job and does a 5-​star job!

I am in the process of purchasing a house here in Austin and I got David’s contact information with a list of other inspectors as options. I can tell you I basically chose A-​Complete and David because their website is well put together and he had good reviews. He had one in particular from a first time home buyer that sounded like exactly what I needed. David is great at taking the time to explain in detail and show you everything he sees during a walk-​through. After my experience I definitely recommend doing the walk-​through with David as you get a better perspective and can ask questions. My choice of going with David ended up paying off better than I ever could have thought and possibly saved me $ 21,000 down the road after we found major foundation issues that the seller didn’t’ fully disclose. I will definitely be using David again and recommending him to all of my family and friends.

I’m a first time home buyer and David’s thoroughness and professionalism shined through. I had David inspect a condo and even though it was nice from the naked eye, he explained issues that made me walk from my offer. In the second house he gave me the tools to negotiate a new roof. He really takes the time to explain every single issue/​concern to put you at ease in negotiations. As long as I live in Austin I will use David for home inspections and I would refer anyone else to do the same.

As a first time home buyer, David took the time to explain his inspection process and even encouraged me to shadow him throughout the 4 hour inspection. He is extremely thorough, leaving no area without inspection. He is meticulous and can recite 2015 building standards on the fly. Very personable and very knowledgeable about all areas of general home inspection. He was even able to arrange for a last minute termite inspection from a certified termite inspector after I forgot to schedule one. I would recommend David to all of my friends and family.

We are In the process of purchasing a home and we were very pleased with our home inspection. David took a lot of time to thoroughly inspect everything and he explained his findings and addressed any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend A complete home inspection!

I had David inspect a home that I’m about to buy today. He is extremely thorough and professional. He explained step by step what he was looking for and gave me many pointers on things to do to help maintain the home. I highly recommend A Complete! He also had the best price out of all the inspectors I called!

Well, I am honored again to state my feelings about A-​Complete Home Inspection Service by David Crist and use his services — again. We needed his services again because of a new house change at a different address. We called David at the last minute and needed the inspection immediately. David said no problem, let me finish the inspection I am at now and I’ll be there. Wow, that was perfect ~~(like David)~~. Hard to get that kind of service during this frantic house buying season. I just can’t praise enough how good this guy really is! He is so meticulous to detail and finds «everything»! That is what you want in a good inspector. The Sellers even comment how precise his reports are. Do yourself a favor and get the best «A-​Complete Home Inspection Service». You will be happy with David and you will be posting on Unilocal,letting the world know, he is the BEST, just like me! Thanks David, Be Blessed. Really appreciate how caring you are.

David did a thorough job and was extremely nice. He took the time to explain many things about the house that I needed to know as a first time home buyer. Also, I wanted a termite inspection and he arranged for his guy Harvey to come out. He also did a great job and was very pleasant to work with.
My relator told me that compared to many inspectors out there David was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy.
The prices were great also, it was $ 250 for the home inspection plus $ 25 for the sprinkler inspection (2100 sq foot house built in 2007). The termite inspection was an additional $ 70. ~$ 350 is much better than many of the places I was trying to book an inspection from. I just got lucky that the ones my relator recommended were booked and I got on Unilocal to find David.

Incredible! Seriously… incredible work!
As a local real estate investor that focuses on foreclosures, I need the best inspector on the planet and I finally found the one. After using multiple inspectors in the Austin area and never being very impressed, I was directed to David by my agent.
What most inspectors would have spent 2 hours on, David stuck it out 4 full hours and into the dark to make sure we knew all the hidden secrets of what was going to end up being a TERRIBLE investment purchase. He attacked this house like he had a personal vendetta against it, and it paid off well with a weighty 38 page report!!! Holy Smokes! Most reports I got in the past from other inspectors were 14 pages, despite the condition of the property being poor.
Ultimately, David saved me about $ 35,000 and countless days of frustration by uncovering all the flaws of the property. David will be my secret weapon on all my property acquisitions going forward… no doubt in my mind at all!

First time home buyer here. I could not have asked for a better inspection experience.
With the holidays being right in the middle of the period between bidding and closing, I thought it might be impossible to get the utilities turned on at the house and schedule an inspection. David worked with me and came out on a Sunday.
Opening up with an overview of the inspection process, David included me in every step of the inspection, which took about 2.5 hours. He was happy to answer any questions I had, and recognizing that I was a first time home buyer, made extra effort to suggest tips like how to keep the clay under the foundation wet to avoid future foundation problems, how to clean my clothes dryer vents, and how to prolong the life of roof fixtures that might need to be replaced soon.
I felt very confident in the information he gave me, and even when there were problems found, he gave me detailed information on what repair actions needed to be taken, and what I needed to tell a repair person about the problem. At times he spoke candidly, giving tips on how one might fix a problem themselves. I am pretty handy when it comes to repairs, and I don’t feel like what he mentioned was out of my element. (He didn’t suggest I do anything dangerous, but small fixes to small problems).
The report was in my inbox (and my agent’s inbox) 2 days later… the day after Christmas.
His fee was competitive… I wasn’t able to find a cheaper quote. All in all, I would recommend David and AComplete to anyone.

We are first-​time home buyers and were very impressed with David’s work. He was very professional, patient, gave a lot of explanations, addressed all our concerns, provided plenty of recommendations and gave a very good report the next day. We shared the report with our Realtor (who has been in the business for more than 15 years) who was amazed to see such a detailed professional report. A colleague recommended David to us and we couldn’t have found a better home inspector.

Not knowing what to expect, I contacted David with A-​Complete Home Inspection, based on the fact he actually posted his rates online. I had received a quote from one of his competitors for double the price of his fees. David turned out to be not only affordable, but I couldn’t imagine receiving more courteous and thorough service from anyone else. I attended the inspection, and asked questions while David answered each of them completely and in terms I could understand. The main things he pointed out to me are things I would not have noticed myself, and would have cost me dearly had they not been attended to promptly. David also called me back for follow-​up twice, and has even offered to come back at my convenience (no charge) to make sure the problems were indeed fixed…(and this was after my check had cleared!)
I feel an inspector is as important as your real estate agent and mortgage lender, and David lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend his services to anyone purchasing or selling a home.

David was outstanding! He was professional, honest, and very patient. He took his time and pointed out many issues to perform research on.
The inspection lasted approximately 3 hours, then following day we received a very detailed report including pictures and his explanations of what we need to pay attention to. We couldn’t have gone with a better home inspector, my fiancé and I highly recommend this company.
If you are looking for a pleasant experience with a home inspector, call them.
