What Our Clients Say

This will more than likely be our last home and we wanted to make sure that we can live here peacefully without worrying about the money-pit syndrome. Our inspector was punctual and polite, professional and empathetic. Took the time to inform of his every concern and when he was done and made sure I had no lingering concerns or questions. I would not hesitate to recommend this company ( inspector Foster Kelly particularly) to everyone.

Ryan from Shoveltown Home Inspections was fantastic to work with. The entire process was smooth from start to finish, and he took the time to explain everything he was doing along the way. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I really appreciated how patient and thorough he was—it made us feel comfortable and confident in our purchase. Highly recommend Shoveltown Home Inspections to anyone looking for a reliable and professional inspector!

Shoveltown Home Inspections are top-of-the-line for home inspection services. Foster Kelly recently performed a home inspection for us and was extremely detailed in every aspect of the home that we are looking to purchase. He was very pleasant to work with and has a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of the home. I highly recommend Foster for this service!

A comprehensive inspection report by Foster was helpful beyond expectation. Several issues noted in the report were not visible to the eye but critical to understanding the status of the property. Foster went through the entire home, attic crawl spaces to the basement, interior and exterior. He welcomed me to accompany him throughout the house, explaining the systems, the findings and encouraging any questions. His explanations were thorough; his answers very considerate. He was professional and efficient. I did not feel rushed nor an imposition. The report itself is a user friendly format…very neat and tidy. Shoveltown does not walk away once the inspection is done but still welcomes any questions post inspection. More than a 5-star experience.

Dean was really helpful. He explained all the issues and made suggestions. Months later I had a question about what we saw in a heating system set up and he was so kind in walking me through the unusual steps he remembered we had to take. Highly highly recommend!

Foster provided excellent support and service. The report provided was detailed and comprehensive. We fully understood what the true status of the house was prior to continuing into closure. His report was a helpful tool for a punch list on items that needed short term fix, mid-term fix, and long-term watch. I highly recommend using his services as they were professional, expedient, and extremely useful. Best in class service.

Had a need for a home inspection asap and they were very accommodating in getting me one the very next day. Couldn’t do all the testing we were hoping for but got a wealth of information on the condition of the house: minor to major issues and recommendations needed. Photos will help as well as we review it once moved in and see what we can look for in the future. Ryan was great, very friendly and knowledgeable.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Dean from Shoveltown. We had friends tell us that all inspectors are basically the same, but that is absolutely not true. Dean is in a league of his own. He was incredibly professional, patient with our endless questions, and his experience was obvious in how he answered everything. He was laser-focused on the actual issues that mattered. On top of that, their online report system is amazing and so easy to use. The entire service was way above our expectations. If you need an inspector, look no further. We would hire Dean again in a heartbeat!

We had the pleasure of working with Dean during our recent home purchase, and we honestly cannot recommend him enough. Dean is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and truly meticulous in his inspections. His attention to detail helped us identify several critical issues early on, things we would have completely missed without his expert eye.

Throughout the process, Dean took the time to explain everything clearly, patiently walked us through his findings, and provided thoughtful recommendations. His insights not only gave us peace of mind but also helped us avoid potentially costly mistakes.

If you're buying a home and want someone who genuinely cares about protecting your investment, Dean is the person to call. We are so grateful for his help and would absolutely work with him again in the future.

Foster was very cordial and professional. We felt that he did a very thorough inspection. Explained in non-technical language some issues that he identified. Would use the company again if ever needed.

Foster was excellent. He provided us with all the details from a risk perspective, as well as many potential challenges that were not immediately visible. I highly recommend Foster and Shoveltown.
