Building Inspection Services

BIS is excellent and the only company I would trust before purchasing a unit. I selected BIS based on the strength of a report I saw for another property. Within two days of our request, BIS sent us an incredibly well trained inspector (25 years of experience, I verified). The first thing the inspector did was to note that the invoice I had received was overstated because they thought I asked for both units of a condo to be inspected, he called the company and got this promptly corrected without me needing to do anything. I learned a lot about the property by being present and through the great report — both it’s strengths and it’s weaknesses. Unlike some other inspection companies that are there to make everybody happy by "reducing the worries", BIS seems dedicated towards a well defined process, observant by seeing details, and good documentation. When the report came, it not only stated the deficiencies and strengths clearly with photos, it clearly stated key improvements and estimated costs, which made negotiations with the seller easier. BIS is the best home and commercial inspectors in the business, well trained unbiased professionals.

I met James Waters from Building Inspection Services (BIS) in February, 2020. He was hired as the independent building inspector for my potential house. He provided me with a thorough report with details of anomalies of my future property including pictures to support his assessment. In addition, he provided me with an estimate of what it could cost the replacement of the potential repairs and made sure I understood the current state of the house. I had a great experience James Waters from BIS. I highly recommend his professional services. I am sure you will get a great service at a reasonable cost. Thank you James.

James Waters from BIS has done building inspections for me on 3 different occasions. He is very professional and thorough. His knowledge and expertise helped me feel confident that the real estate purchases I was making were good investments. I have referred him to many family and friends. I highly recommend using BIS for your property inspections!

As a Real Estate Broker and Investor, the property inspection phase is an extremely important aspect in completing a purchase. Having been in the industry for many years, there is only one company I use / recommend for property inspections and that is Building Inspection Services (BIS). My clients and I have used BIS services for many properties. For a first time home buyer or a savvy commercial real estate investor, BIS takes the time to thoroughly investigate the property conditions and provide you with the report in a timely manner. The inspector from BIS that I always prefer is James W. James is as honest and thorough as there is in this industry and his insight and knowledge go further than just an inspection. There are very few people I recommend and James is one of them. James has inspected properties for me as far back as 2013 to as recent as May 2019. He and BIS are great and I appreciate their work.

We have used BIS in south Florida as home inspector for both a condo purchase and a single family home with pool and well water pumps. They were so professional and knowledgeable. And they handled all the inspections needed - and in one visit (as opposed to other inspection companies who need to bring in other companies for a full inspection. And months after inspection, they continued to be very helpful in answering questions to help us understand what might be needed for us to qualify a full wind mitigation discount from our insurance company. Thanks to Mike Jenkins and Jamie Waters.

I used BIS for a wind mitigation and 4 point inspection for a house that I am in the process of purchasing. James the inspector did an extremely thorough job with both of them. He was on time and made a return visit to the house for the 4 point due to a complication with another company I previously used. The reports were well put together and came within 24 hours of the inspections. James also offered quality advice on many maintenance/repair issues while he did the inspections. I highly recommend BIS for home inspections.

I hired BIS at the recommendation of a friend, and I was extremely pleased overall. A true test of a business is how they react when things don't go perfectly. My inspector, James, was scheduled to show up sometime within a window of 2pm-5pm, so I took the afternoon off of work to be at the property and arranged this with the sellers. James called me, apologetically, and said he would not be able to make it to the house before 6pm, as his schedule was running behind and the Miami traffic was killing him. I appreciated the call but was not happy because I had used 1/2 of a personal leave day to be present. I called the owner, and he was also courteous & genuinely apologetic, and he agreed to comp the swimming pool inspection as a peace offering. They made it right, and they now have a customer for life. James came out, was thorough, and explained each step as he went. He gave helpful hints and also tips on what to watch out for. He is a true professional who is an expert inspector and also is skilled at relating with the customer. I hired BIS again to come back for the 4-point and Wind Mit inspection, and James once again hit the ball out of the park. Since then, I've recommend BIS to several of my friends and Realtor friends, and they've all come back to me glad that I recommended BIS. These guys are the real deal. Totally recommended!
