Hawkeye Home Experts

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!

Super professional, knowledgeable, and efficient! The Hawkeye team provided excellent service during the purchase of my own home. The techs explained everything thoroughly and went through their inspection in meticulous detail. From the moment I contacted Lori to inspection to quotes and repair, The Hawkeye Team was there for me. I trust their process and highly recommend them. Will definitely be using their services again in the future!

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!

Hawkeye Home Experts truly lived up to their name, they are experts. We are first time home buyers and they made this process smooth and actually enjoyable! From the moment we called to, to the actual inspections, to reviewing each line item after the inspections has been top notch professionalism and customer service. Not to mention the expediency! Thank you to everyone we worked with at Hawkeye, Jim, Lori, Raymond, and Ray! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Hawkeye Home Experts truly lived up to their name offering expertise, providing efficient and accurate updates, and going above and beyond in customer service and responsiveness to my questions. They are fairly priced, and family owned. Their commitment to their customers was evident in the way they valued my time and made sure that all reports were explained in terms that I understood. I really felt like I had someone on myside during the home buying process. They even referred me plumbers they have worked with and trust when I asked for help finding someone if repairs needed to me made. I highly recommend this company and Jim!
