- Being on the continent, our real estate agent recommended Grey Owl for a housing inspection as we purchase a new home for our parents to return home. Steve was an exceptional inspector whose primary focus is safety. Since we are in California, he was able to guide us through his findings explaining in great detail a summary of what he found, taking us around the house on phone video call. He also suggested possible solutions and causes for each issue he found. He was open to every question we had. His thoroughness was greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly would recommend Steve and Grey Owl to anyone looking for an inspector that would put safety first and take the time to completely walk you through their report.Neil O.
- Carl was the name of the inspector who did the inspection. Carl introduced himself, as respectful and pleasant. He was comfortable not nervous and business-minded. Carl walked through the apartment/condo looking at things and taking pictures. He was turning fans, stove, washer, dishwasher on to see if they were operable, Sliding doors, AC Units, electrcal outlets, windows, closet doors. Carl was very thorough and would make comments as he went through the unit. I learned many things for example one GFCI outlet was not active.D NAKOTA
- Grey Owl really delivers. I’ve had at least a dozen property inspections performed, all pretty lackluster. This inspection prepared by Grey Owl really set the bar. Although, this inspection was for a tiny condo, the inspector treated this assignment with the utmost diligence, as though he was personally inspecting his own home. Thank you, Grey Owl.Matthew P.
- Steve was very thorough and honest. He noted concerns with details such as washer drainage issue and electrical outlets outdated, as well as bigger items like drainage/settling observations and electrical wiring safety issues in the attic. Overall I had a great experience with Grey Owl. Their online scheduling and payment method is user-friendly, and they answered their phones promptly when I had a question about scheduling. I highly recommend them and will go with them again in the future.Erik A
- Kevin Gallagher did our inspection. He was professional, timely and helpful answering our questions and addressing our concerns. If we end up purchasing another home in the future we will definitely be using Grey Owl and Kevin again. Mahalo!Aaron C
- Wow. If only everything ran this smoothly in Hawaii. Called at 6pm? dude was there next day, 11am. This wasn’t some fly-by-night operation either, dude was very, very, very proficient, professional and VERY GOOD at his job. I wanted to steal him for myself. I wish I had more things to inspect…lol. Also, price was great too!Vanessa G.
- Very thorough! Ivan made sure to cover all bases and explained everything along the way. Upon completion of his inspection he walked us through the property and pointed out things that we had missed at our initial walk through. A detailed report (with pictures!) was in my inbox by the following morning! Great work ethic, definitely someone you want to do an inspection prior to such a big investment.Danielle P.

He was extremely professional from the moment he arrived, he was punctual. He thoroughly inspected everything inside and out, under and over etc. He took his time to explain his findings to us. I had a few questions and he explained to my in laymen terms, which I found amazing. I highly recommend Grey Owl for your home inspections.Leslie T. - Very impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection, very glad I chose a veteran ran company. Support the guys, they’re pro.

As a Realtor I’ve worked with a lot of inspectors in the past 15 years. Grey Owl is definitely one of the most professional and competent companies I’ve dealt with.
The inspection is very thorough. The inspector has to go through a standardized list of items to complete the inspection. Afterwards the inspector goes through each item on the list as they walk you through the property. They have a laptop on sight and will send you a pdf copy of the report along with photos. You usually get it within 24 hours or less.Toan D. -
Grey Owl Inspections is my husband and my go-to inspections company for real estate!
Ivan is very professional, reliable, thorough, detail oriented, and does a terrific job with home inspections – perfect for when you are looking to purchase your home or real estate investment in Oahu.
I have worked with other inspections companies in Oahu before and feel that Grey Owl gives a much thorough and investigative report.
Highly, highly recommend Grey Owl Inspections as your go to Inspections company on Oahu!Christie S. -
My experience with Grey Owl was top notch! Scheduling was quick and painless. The receptionist were fantastic with coordination via the phone and email for billing and ironing out inspection details.
The inspector, Ivan, was 5 mins early for the appointment and was very polite and friendly. He took his time and didn’t mind me tagging along and asking questions. He saved major explanations for his final walk through. Ivan took extra time to explain his worry areas and his overall opinion of what he found. He had his full report emailed with an hour of completion, I was stunned!
This was hands down a better experience than I could have asked for. Wouldn’t waste your time with any other company!Matt S.
