Mr. Costa is a people person, rare nowadays. He is very knowledgeable and values integrity. After the home inspection, Mr. Costa thoroughly explained to me what the home needed along with great recommendations.
Look no further, give Mr. Costa a call before you go else were. I have called other places and was charged alot more for the same inspection.
Mr. Costa, thank you for all that you do for the community, we need more honest people like you. I will be recommending you to others.

If you're on the fence about whether to get a home inspection, this is your sign to do it—and if you're wondering who to trust with the job, look no further than John! The price was extremely reasonable, but what truly set this experience apart was the peace of mind knowing that we had someone we could rely on to do the job thoroughly and professionally. Choosing Costa Home Inspections was hands down one of the best decisions we've made.
Although my husband and I couldn’t join the third-party inspection for our new build, John made the entire process seamless through clear and consistent communication over the phone. He was prompt, professional, and truly went above and beyond. He delivered the inspection report exactly when he promised, and it was incredibly easy to understand. John also took the time to walk me through all the key findings, pointing out things we would have missed without his expertise.
Overall, I’m beyond satisfied with the service and wholeheartedly recommend John for any home inspection needs!

I recently had the pleasure of working with John from Costa Home Inspection, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism and thoroughness. From the moment he arrived, John was punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully inspect every corner of the property, walking me through each area of concern and answering all of my questions along the way. I especially appreciated how he provided clear explanations about both the major issues and minor maintenance tips, giving me a complete understanding of the home’s condition. The inspection report was delivered promptly and was detailed, with helpful photos and easy to understand descriptions. I felt completely confident in John’s expertise, and I highly recommend Costa Home Inspection to anyone in need of a reliable, knowledgeable home inspector!
