The best part about my experience was how easy they were to work with, and how accomidating they are. Scheduling was easy, price was very fair, and quality of service and detail in the report were all very professional. Jim has been doing this for a while and knows what he is doing. I was lucky, the house was in good shape, so I can now move in assured I'm moving to the right house.

Jim Looney did our home inspection in Sun City Lincoln Hills. He was very professional and detail oriented. I would recommend Jim and Hinkey Home inspections anytime!

Incredible service. Jim came out to inspect 2 homes for me on my house hunting journey and was able to make an appointment within a day or two of going into contract. He is incredibly thorough and diligent and is able to inform you in easy to understand terms. Everything is documented with impeccable notes and photographs so it's very easy to follow along. Cannot recommend this company enough!

Hired to perform a home inspection on our new house in escrow. Responded quickly and the report provided was very thorough and readable, with actions recommended in relevant places. Very readable by non- experts and provided value insights. We received our report, with photos and callouts, the day after the inspection was performed. Very quick! Highly recommend.

Jim Looney did a great job at explaining everything and every small things from what needs to be replaced or what needs to be done. A very honest man. Over paid him another $100 by accident and he called us right away about it. He return the other $100. I received the documents quick and was able to see pictures on what he talked about during the inspection.
