## The honest read

Merit Home Inspections LLC holds a 5-star Google average across 192 ratings.

A recent buyer said Ed's inspection let them negotiate thousands of dollars in repairs before closing. A recent customer wrote that Edgar's inspection report uncovered things most buyers would miss, and that the report helped them negotiate changes on the purchase.

In a 2025 review, a first-time buyer said Edgar walked them through every detail of his findings in plain language. A 2025 customer said Edgar described what he was seeing and explained different codes and standards during the inspection. In a 2024 review, a customer said the report was detailed and clear, with pictures of everything he saw.

A 2023 customer said Merit was used for two home inspections, one on a sale that fell through because of significant issues with the property, and that when a major issue was found with one house's well water, they were contacted immediately. A 2023 reviewer said Ed accommodated their schedule on short notice and provided home, pest and radon inspections. In a 2022 review, a customer said water sampling and radon testing were explained to them.

In a 2020 Angi review, a customer said the inspection cost over $700 and that within 15 days of moving in they found over $5,000 in repairs it missed, naming a clogged dryer vent, tripping breakers in four rooms and a leaking hose bib in the garage.

**Strengths:**
- Repair negotiation — a recent buyer negotiated thousands in repairs before closing
- Plain-language walkthrough — a 2025 first-time buyer had every finding explained
- Short-notice scheduling — a 2023 customer was accommodated on short notice
- Photo reports — a 2024 customer received a report with pictures of everything

**Concerns:**
- Missed repairs — a 2020 customer found over $5,000 in issues within 15 days
