Oct 2015. In seeking a home inspector for a house I was interested in buying, I spoke with several property inspectors in Temple Texas, all of whom referred to Todd Arnold as the local«master» of home inspections. So, I went with the master. I used his internet site to complete a survey, schedule an appointment, and pay for the inspection all at one time. His wife designed that and it is very efficient. Mr. Arnold spent about 2.5 hours going over the 18-year old house. I now know its history, what repairs were done in the past, and what repairs need to be done ASAP and gradually in the future. He provided me with multiple names of local reputable firms who could do the repairs needed. He provided information on the quality of systems present in the house: the A/C, sprinkler system, hot water heater, garage door opener, and the kitchen appliances, along with their expected life span, energy efficiency, and general performance. All-in-all, he took the time to explain things thoroughly; thus, making a difficult process so much easier. I now have the information I need to make a good decision and budget repairs. His report along with photographs is meticulous and easy to use. Yes, I agree with his competitors who hold him in such high esteem. He has set a very high bar of professionalism and competence for them to reach for, and he has earned his«master» level of expertise in the area. You will be very happy you did business with him and his wife. I certainly am.
