Testimonials
Tom was on time and very respectful of my home. The inspection was very thorough, and Tom answered questions throughout the process. The report is very well organized and easy to understand. It will be very helpful in getting the builder to make the necessary repairs to my home.

After spending a lot of time researching home inspectors, Tom was my top choice. I went on the company website and easily scheduled an appointment. Arriving on time, he was polite and easy to talk to. Starting the inspection, Tom found that the HVAC was not setup and gave me the option to continue the inspection or reschedule it. I decided to reschedule, but found that the new date was going to work for me. I emailed Tom about the situation. He got back to me quickly and when above an beyond to adjust his schedule to accommodate my request. Tom spent a lot of time carefully inspecting my new construction home and never rushed or skipped over anything. He pointed out and explained to me the issues that he found as he went along. I don't think there was anything he didn't check or test. His report was thorough and had things that I didn't even think to check. I would highly recommend Tom to perform your next home inspection.

We're glad we thought to take this step and contact you prior to our 1-year warranty walk-through with the builder. Since we bought a spec house, we didn't see it being built and didn't have an understanding of the bones of the house. We appreciate the thorough look that Porter and you gave the house and the explanations you gave to use during and after the inspection. It's great to have your report in hand!
- S.R., New Hill NC, November 2019
Mr Goodno did a very thorough inspection of our home. We are approaching our one year walk through warranty inspection with our builder and wanted to have our home inspected by someone who has an excellent reputation. We are grateful that he was recommended to us, and feel confident and relieved with his findings. He was kind and respectful of our home and answered any questions that we had. We would highly recommend Tom to you.

Tom did a great job inspecting a home that we are considering purchasing in Wake Forest. He was thorough and diligent. I have bought several houses and have never been this pleased with the inspection. Tom was professional, courteous, and clear on his explanations. I would strongly recommend him to anyone buying a home.
- N.K., Bridgeville PA, July 2018

- C.C., Ganer NC, May 2018
Tom is extremely comprehensive in his inspections and a great source of information. He takes his time and looks at EVERYTHING as an inspector should. He is very to the point about what needs to be done which I appreciate. This is not an area that sugar coating issues is in the best interest of the home buyer. I am very satisfied with his services and would recommend him highly.

- R.A., Angier NC, March 2018
Tom was great! I picked Chosen Home Inspections based on an online search and was a bit nervous not having a personal referral, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Our inspector really took his time, was super friendly, and explained the process before, during, and after the inspections. Tom explained all the aspects of our inspection very well, and put everything in terms I could easily understand. He was very patient, and really took his time which makes me feel confident that he was thorough in his inspection. The communication we had setting up the appointment was easy and quick, and the online portal is a great tool. I would recommend this service to anyone in need of a home inspection.
- J.L., Raleigh NC, March 2018
The inspection was extremely thorough and professional. I would absolutely use Chosen Home Inspections again!!!

Tom is very thorough and knowledgeable at his job. He is also very considerate.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have a house inspection done.

Wow, Tom was very personable and very professional! As a first time buyer, I was concerned about my own ability to determine if the house was in good shape, so I wanted to have an inspector that was thorough and considerate, and he did not disappoint. I would absolutely recommend him to another potential buyer, and will probably call him again if I move.

- D.L., Raleigh NC, December 2016
Tom is meticulous during his home inspections and his subs are a great compliment to his thorough evaluations. I have been using Tom for a number of years and I am never disappointed in his quality service, his approach to giving the highest quality and skilled workmanship, his personality around my customers, and his commitment to being on-time for his appointments. Tom puts my customers at ease with the inspection. He explains his findings with my clients at their level of understanding and at a level of calmness that does not create additional anxiety or panic about the condition of the home. I will continue our business relationship because I know how important this process is to my clients and Tom always delivers exception service.

When we were looking for a home inspector we did a lot of research online and read through a lot of reviews to figure out who we wanted to hire. I was very impressed with the reviews I read about Chosen Home Inspections, and I have to say they were right on point. Tom was great to work with and very thorough, which is what you want when you are buying a house. He took the time to show us where important items are, such as the water turn-off, and explained things in easy to understand terms. The report was very detailed and also easy to understand. We ended up calling back so we could clarify one thing prior to asking the sellers to address an item and Tom and Cecilia responded right away to our call and answered our question very clearly. I highly recommend trusting Chosen Home Inspections for your home inspection because they do an outstanding job!
- T.M., Raleigh NC, October 2016
Tom is very professional and extremely thorough. I liked how he took the time to explain his findings. I also liked how quickly we got our report! The less-than-24hr turnaround is wonderful. I'd happily recommend Tom to my network.
- C.J., San Mateo CA, July 2016
Tom did a thorough job of checking my home for its 11-month inspection prior to the builder warranty expiring. What a relief to have a professional find items that are important but beyond my view of cosmetic appearances. Tom arrived on time as scheduled, was very professional in both appearance, attitude & review of his findings. The inspection report, complete with pictures, arrived the same evening the inspection was performed. All totally worth the money & peace of mind.
- J.F., Fuquay Varina NC, July 2016
Tom and Cecilia were very easy to work with and kept constant communication with us and/or our agent throughout this process.
- T.C., Cary NC, July 2016
Tom is a professional, very attuned to clients who are involved in the stressful situation of purchase of a new home. Tom called ahead when he was delayed on 1-40 due to an accident (as I was also). He explained situations which could have caused certain issues, but gave that as only his opinion, w/ a need to seek professional help w/ identifying the underlying reason for a problem. He stated how much he enjoyed his job, dealing w/ making sure a client is happy w/ their new home, especially seems willing to "fix" a few minor items while doing the inspecting, such as a bathtub drain which had a clog, (hair down the drain), or tightening something loose.
His company offers many benefits to a client before & after closing, a one call turn on utilities, & a check for the appliance issues for some period, & an offer to have 18 mos of homeowners warranty for the price of 12 mos.
We really recommend Tom to anyone needing a home inspection. That could include septic, sewer, radon, & pest inspection, supervised by Tom's company.

- D.R., New Bern NC, July 2016
Thanks so much for all of your help! You were very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. We are very happy we had you do the initial inspection, and our follow up prior to warranty expiration. Thanks again for your help!
- R.H., June 2016
Tom: I am impressed, not only with your thorough on-site inspection, but also with your website based contract/payment method and the texting confirmation/reminders.
Your office staff, Cecelia, was courteous and efficient.
Your report was clear and precise and will be used as a punch-list for required repairs.
I will highly recommend your service.

- S.W., Raleigh NC, March 2016
Thank you for being very thorough. Your professionalism is top notch!! An old house like this i had my doubts and you put all those to rest!
- P.P., Fuquay Varina NC, January 2016
I am so impressed and "wowed" by the inspection provided by Tom. He focused on every point of detail in every part of the loft such that I felt he had examined the unit with nothing short of a fine tooth comb! His inspection report was incredibly detailed too, explaining items of concerns very clearly, in addition to providing superb photos. He was extremely professional, a pleasure to deal with, very knowledgeable in all areas of the home, very serious about the role his inspection played in my decision to purchase the home, and concerned about my comfort level in terms of making sure I understood clearly what he had noted. He has a super personality, is very engaging and clearly is passionate about the work he does. I felt very comfortable asking him questions and could tell that his priority was making sure he imparted his inspection results in "layman's terms" so that I was comfortable. I will recommend Tom in a heartbeat to anyone I know who needs a home inspection. I feel fortunate to have been a customer of his!

Had a home inspection done today from Tom Goodno from Chosen Home Inspection. I thought he was very professional and thorough. He mentioned items that needed to be addressed and took the time to explain them when the inspection was over. I recommend anyone looking for a Home Inspection to contact Tom. I don't think you will be disappointed. I will have to call him back to look over the items he mentioned in the inspection to see if the builders took care of those discrepancies.
- R.H., Havelock NC, October 2015
Tom demonstrates professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge as owner-operator of Chosen Home Inspections.

We are first time home buyers so we were a bit nervous going through this whole home buying process. Tom was recommended to us and made this whole inspection process so easy. He was so extremely professional. Not only that he was extremely thorough. I'm a pretty picky person and he was finding things I would have never even thought to look at! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends & family that are buying and we will definitely be calling him for ALL of our future inspection needs. An excellent inspector!!!
- D.A., February 2015

- M.L., January 2015
I did a lot of homework before selecting an inspector. I wanted someone that was professional, experienced and mostly, someone that was balanced and honest. Mr. Goodno was that and more. He was very thorough and clearly showed up with a purpose. I did not want a lot of drama around the inspection - I just wanted the facts. The report clearly shows how hard he works and that he takes his job very seriously. The report, of course is technical, but still done in a way that a buyer can clearly understand and make decisions. I could not be more pleased. I recommend Mr. Goodno highly. I did all of the legwork and research to find him. So you can relax and just hire him!
- J.H., January 2015
Tom did a GREAT job inspecting my future home. Although it was a very cold and rainy day Tom still arrived at the site on time and begin working immediately. He was very professional and proficient.

We are very pleased with the level of service provided by Tom Goodno. He was very professional and personable. Tom inspected each detail of our home both inside and out.

Definitely worth the price for the peace of mind about our first home purchase and the upcoming expiration of our builder's warranty.
