Hello!
Thanks for visiting, I’m Bob Boyko Owner of Gemstone Home Inspections, LLC. We are not a franchise, our business is built on our reputation, not paid referrals. I am fully committed to your 100% satisfaction which our reviews validate. On average I am at the home 4 hours to perform an inspection it takes time to inspect all the systems in a home properly. Our inspection report is not paper, we provide a modern digital report that can also be printed. The report is interactive and is leagues over a simple paper report. Your report in most cases will have color and infrared images, video, informative links and can be viewed from your phone or computer. If you have any special requests or don’t see an opening in my schedule, give me a call and I will do everything I can to help.
Gemstone uses the latest technology like infrared scanning, drones and robotic cameras. These are expensive devices that other inspectors may not have invested in, but can dramatically increase the effectiveness of an inspection. Inspecting without including infrared scanning is “Just looking around”. The infrared camera can see minute differences in temperature which reveals moisture and air leaks which cannot be seen by the naked eye. We are committed to giving you the best inspection possible, which is why we include infrared scanning with every inspection.

How much will my inspection cost?
Our inspections start as low as $300 for a local Condo or Townhome, but every home is different and it wouldn’t be fair to anyone to charge one “Fits all” price. Square footage, crawlspace, location are just a few examples that will affect the time it takes and equipment needed. For your convenience, I have provided a quick and easy way to get a quote, schedule and book your inspection right here on our website!
How long will my inspection take?
Generally, our inspections take between 3 and 4 hours, but it depends on the home of course.
I would like to be at the inspection, can I?
Hey it’s your inspection and you can, but to be honest it can increase the time it takes to complete the inspection by at least 1 hour. Also, “I have a system” so I don’t miss anything, that being said, sometimes we get to talking and it can interrupt my work (and I like to talk!). I would prefer you attend the inspection! I suggest about a half hour before I finish, but you can right from the start (remember it takes around 4 hours…).
What is a home inspection?
When will I get my inspection report?
We commit to 24hrs after the inspection, but have always delivered same day. Many other inspection companies need to assemble the report and deliver it to you which can take time, it’s not unheard of to get your report 3 days later! If you are on site towards the end of the inspection (30min before I leave) I can show you a summary of the items that were called out right on site and we can go over them.
Do you perform Manufactured / Mobile Home inspections?
Unfortunately, the association that I offer my “Buy Back Guarantee” through does not offer it for mobile / manufactured homes, so I have suspended inspecting mobile / manufactured homes.
We include a Buy Back Guarantee
