Specializing in disclosing the undisclosed through the home inspection process, Empowering you to make informed decisions about your real estate transaction.

Top Notch Home Inspections

Because nothing else will do

It is our goal for you to know the home you are buying as well as or better than the one you live in now. Our detailed home inspection report will allow you to make an educated decision for one of the biggest financial purchases of your life. A home inspection is not a pass-or-fail type of inspection, but rather a fact-finding mission. When all the facts are discovered, you’ll know what type of investment you are making and have an abundance of information to negotiate repairs or simply move forward with your purchase.

Radon Testing

With nearly 40% of homes in the peidmont triad of NC having high levels of radon, radon testing is a must. This 48 hour test will be accompanied by a report that shows the 48 hour average of the Radon concentration level in the home, as well as an hour by hour breakdown over those 48 hours. More information Radon and its implications can be found by clicking here.

We loved our experience with Top Notch Home Inspection. He was very thorough and walked us through all the steps and important details of the home. We didn’t feel rushed and he was very patient going over in detail our concerns. We were late to the inspection due to last minute work emergencies and we appreciated them waiting and still taking their time with us. He worked over the weekend to get us our report in a timely manner as well which was a added bonus. We had an amazing experience with him and he had so many recommendations on who to call to assist with certain faults in the home which was super helpful to have direction on who to call for more complicated issues. Great experience all around!

As first-time home buyers, we didn't know what to expect concerning a home inspection. Drew was very congenial and professional throughout the process. He was very understanding and happy to answer any questions we had and avoided industry "jargon." Home Inspections can have a sense of doom and gloom, but Mr. Cline painted an honest and upbeat picture throughout the whole process. I would heartily recommend him for experienced and first-time homeowners alike.

The whole inspection process was explained in detail as we went along. Everything was easy to understand and the attention to detail was great. At every point of the inspection details were provided and the level of importance to each issue was addressed. I will recommend Drew to any and all potential home buyers.

Drew did a fantastic job. He explained issues like I was a 5yr old, which was great! Would definitely recommend. Was on time, knowledgeable, and cares about what he does. The only bad things is, he’s too good at his job, found things that I wish I didn’t know about the house he inspected. Guess that’s a good thing in the long run. Once again, I recommend drew.

Drew was amazing. Such a thorough inspection, I felt that he literally checked every inch of our new house. He showed me things along the way and even had me come up into the attic to see how the HVAC system worked up there. He pointed out things to be on the lookout for and things that were highlights about the builder. Overall just a really great experience.

I was very happy with how he and his partner took the time to explain to me the problems found with the first home. Safety issues that needed to be fixed and a few structural problems. I chose to move to a different house and used him again and he was just as patient and thorough as he was the first time. Highly recommend. Easy payment portal, quick invoices and fast updates on the finding!

Drew was awesome! He was personable, professional, thorough, and honest. He was on time. Told me exactly what was going to happen, showed me as he found things, and summed up the most important to least. I also received a thorough report with everything we discussed and more detail and pictures. This is my first time buying a house and having a home inspected but I am glad that my first time, Top Notch Home Inspection was recommended to me from my realtor. I liked scheduling on the website. Payment was super easy. I just wrote a check, but they accept several forms of payment. I received an invoice for payment. I would definitely recommend too anyone I know looking for home inspection and will use them in the future.

I would definitely recommend Drew to do a home inspection. I’ve know him for a long time and he’s a very honest down to earth gentleman. He’s a man of his word and I trust him. I feel safe and secure now with the purchase of our new home now knowing that he came out and inspected it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Drew.

Drew inspected my home purchase a couple years ago, so I had no reservation about who to call for my current home purchase. I used and recommend Top Notch, because as the seller stated, "he sure is thorough." I have described Drew as annoyingly meticulous to any seller. You can't go wrong with Top Notch service!

Drew is by far the best home inspector we have ever used, and we are not new to this industry. He is great a answering questions without talking over a clients head. Anytime we are showing a home, if there is something that we see that we are not sure of what it is, we can take a picture and send it to Drew, and he will get back with us immediately with an answer. He just goes above and beyond.

We used this service as part of our home inspection following our offer submission for property purchase. Very comprehensive. Inspector exceptionally knowledgable and informative. Fair assessment with clearly stated possible risks regarding home condition and suggestions for further assessment by experts in questionable areas of concern. Very satisfied. Exceeded expectations. Respectful of our further information requests and concerns, with appropriate referrals provided to us.

My husband and I recently hired Drew Cline to perform a commercial inspection of a property we are considering purchasing. I was present during the inspection and greatly appreciated the time he took to explain to me personally some of the issues he found. Worth noting, he identified a broken Hvac unit and several concerning problems with the roof all of which were absent from a report performed by a different company just one year prior. I’m grateful I was able to bring this to the attention of our agent with hopes a solution could be worked out. Also, due to an oversight the water supply was not connected during his initial visit and he was beyond accommodating in returning to the property later to complete that portion of the inspection. I would recommend Drew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thorough commercial/residential inspector. It was a pleasure to do business with him.

Absolutely the best! Drew Cline is thorough and professional. He is detail oriented to the point of noting burned out lightbulbs.Drew Cline does more than inspect homes, he communicates clearly to educate my clients on maintaining the home, showing them how a variety things function.Drew Cline makes himself available to be a continued resource to my buyers and sellers even after closing. His reports easy to read, including photos to illustrate the items noted.My clients feel much more at ease after working with him, he allows them to make a confident decision to pursue or not pursue buying a particular home.
