Nate Standifer was professional, thorough, and personable. He took the time to go over the inspection with me when finished and showed me where the electrical and water turn on/off were located along with going over general maintenance of the home with me. The times I've needed to speak to him he was available and happy to answer my questions.

Update: Used another guy for an inspection last month because Nate was busy and I regret it. Should have just waited for Nate. Good news is that I had another inspection that Nate was free for last weekend and wow! He is THE GUY. Extremely thorough, professional, with same-day reports and pictures. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had called around to 4 companies in the area, and I am beyond happy with our selection. Just call him - You won't regret it.

I couldn't ask for a better service than what i experienced with Nate Standifer. The home he inspected for me is in Florida and I'm in Michigan. I had no issues working remotely with Nate. He was prompt, efficient, comprehensive and friendly to my representative.

I recently had a home inspection by Nate Standifer of Homestead Property Inspections. He was extremely responsive to any and all questions prior to the inspection. During the inspection he exhibited the highest degree of professionalism. Even though this was a new construction with the expectation that problems would be minimal, his thoroughness and attention to detail revealed numerous deficiencies that would not be apparent to a typical new home buyer. This was invaluable in conducting the new home inspection with the home builder to identify problem areas for remediation. I highly recommend Nate Sandifer with Homestead Property Inspections. I would not purchase a home (new or older) without an inspection by someone with Nate's expertise.

Nate was phenomenal! He thoroughly evaluated the house from the crawlspace to the attic. Nate was able to detect issues, as well as suggest solutions. He was personable, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. His report was detailed and easy to understand. Nate was willing to answer all our questions and was extremely patient. We would definitely recommend Nate for any home inspection!

SOMETHING ABOUT BRADENTON

Nestled along the sparkling Gulf Coast of Florida, Bradenton is a charming city known for its beautiful beaches, sunny weather, and laid-back lifestyle. With a population of about 56,961, Bradenton has grown rapidly in recent years but still retains its small-town charm and community feel. Older homes and buildings are part of the fabric of Bradenton. The city has many historic neighborhoods with houses dating back to the early 1900s. While the old architecture lends to the nostalgic ambiance, these aging homes can also present issues that need to be addressed. Having an inspection performed when purchasing an older home in Bradenton is highly recommended.
