When leaving feedback for a tradie or business on NoCowboys, you have two options:
Duane's knowledge and experience is second to none and I thoroughly recommend a buyers choice for conducting home inspections.
"Phil communicated excellently and promptly kept me informed throughout the the process. His attention to detail was exemplary, and I felt looked after with his throughough inspection.
"On this particular job, Duane was able to meet a fairly tight pre-auction timeline. I was once again impressed by his comprehensiveness and expertise.
"Thanks so much Duane!
"The report was very thorough and easy to interpret with photos explaining things.
I highly recommend Stephen and the team.
"Stephen's reports are highly detailed and he is happy to go through and explain issues in more detail over the phone. Stephen was very easy to get in touch with and he was always happy to book in a time for the… building inspections directly with the Real Estate agents.
Stephen also turned around the reports very quickly which gave us the peace of mind when needing a quick inspection turnaround for auctions.
I would highly recommend Matt to any prospective house purchasers and both Lisa and I appreciate the work that he did for us and would use him again in a heartbeat.
Thanks
"Ruth :)
This was our first time getting an inspection done and Matt definitely took the stress out of it for us, he responded to my initial message on a Sunday and had an inspection booked in with the real estate agent for the following Tuesday.
He carried out the work at the promised time and we had the report 2 days later. The report itself was informative, easy to understand and in depth with lots of… photos.
Definitely recommend.
Highly recommend getting in touch with Matt - he played an amazing part in helping us secure our first home.
"Inspection was done on time. He even allowed for my Mrs to go to site after inspection and answered her questions.
He then spent time talking to me answering my concerns as well on another day.
All the communication was professionally managed. The report itself was detailed and gave us a good understanding of this property.
I was quite happy… with what I paid for and what I got. I would recommend these guys to anyone.
"He was very prompt with communications, and kept us in the loop as to when inspection would be taking place, and when it had been completed.
He delivered his inspection report in the stated timeframe.
His report was very easy to understand even though it was detailed, and his comments were supported with photographs. His layout… of the report was ideal too, first briefly discussing items needing attention/consideration, then followed with the full inspection in detail. He did the follow-up inspection too in a timely manner.
We highly recommend Duane for your next home inspection, you won't be disappointed.
Every room was inspected in detail, numerous photos taken and a very detailed report provided.
Stephen pointed out areas for concerns provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
The inspection and report were done in timely manner.
Fantastic communication throughout the process and exceeded timelines.
Would highly recommend his services.
This helped us to negotiate and remedy an existing problems with the vendors before purchasing.
Thanks Duane!
"Insulation in the roof is of some brown mud/dust nature and this will need to be replaced by proper wool insulation as it’s useless and does not provide any insulation at all. This will cost me a lot of money and now having settled I can’t… claim it of the seller.
Roof gutters had gunk and leaves and are overflowing in rain and water is coming back onto windows. No mention on the report. I now have to install a Downpipe and gutter mesh at my cost coz after settlement I can’t claim from seller.
We relied and paid for a premium job but got a really shoddy experience and are now burdened with costs we shouldn’t have.
I’m very happy with his service. He was very professional and quick to respond to our enquiries. He knew the building codes well (more than many other trades people)… and produced a very detailed report for us. He was very patient in answering our calls and explaining the issues to us to help as make an informed decision about the house.
After we bought the house and fixed a minor leak, he offered to come back and check the moisture readings for us for free. I wasn’t expecting that from an inspector.
I highly recommend his service.

"Duane is an absolute expert in his field. He is very digilent with an eye for detail. His work ethic is beyond satisfactory going the extra mile to provide precise details and evidence so that any other builder or contractor can read all key areas for concern without… even visiting the property.
I believe Duane saved us from years full of unsuspected surprises and struggle. For this we have much to thank him for.
I wouldn’t go elsewhere. A master of his trade with exceptional care in taking every bit of time necessary. Although I know not standard we were fortunate enough to have him explain the details of the house to my partner while on site.
His communication was great and he took the time to guide us through the process. He is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable.
I will be telling everyone I come across that may be needing a building inspection just how much stress he took out of the process. Highly recommended!
He also provided great information in regards to come of the minor maintenance that would be required. I highly rate Duane and his service
"Will definitely use his services in the future. Highly recommended.
"I found him to be polite and frank, and thorough - and I recommend him to others who need a residential builders report done.
We were very happy with the quality of the service and the subsequent documentation we recieved.
"He is also a very nice person and easy to work with.
"The Inspection report was just what I needed, it highlighted issues and gave good commentary. I really like the number of detailed pictures in the report (hundreds) as this give me a visual indication of any problems to consider.
Kevin also gave me some good advice on a number of areas across the house and his… quick response back with the details I needed was excellent.
Well done Home Inspections
As soon as I'd spoken to Duane on the phone, he got in touch with the real estate agent to set up a time the next day to do the inspection. He sent through / gave us all the documentation we needed in a really timely manner, and even called me directly after the inspection to… talk me through a few minor issues.
We were the successful bidders at the auction (for our first home), and having the builders report done was a key component in having the confidence that the house was a good purchase.
I would recommend Duane to anyone looking for a professionally delivered and well-handled builders report in the Auckland area.
