Testimonials
Hey Carlo! Want to say thank you again for our home inspection! This is the second time we used Talon Home Inspection. We enjoyed his thorough and in-depth process that it was a no brainer to go with him again. Carlo does care about his clients. Called him couple days after the inspection with questions/concern but he was unable to pickup his phone. I left a voicemail and he called be back later that day and gave his professional opinion. I highly recommend Carlo!
- R.E., Louisville KY, October 2024
Carlo is excellent. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
- B.R., Lexington KY, September 2024
Thanks Carlo, for the walkthrough that reflected so closely the inspection report. It really helped as I read through it. The electrical issues were all through the report, so the only comment that I have is how much trouble would it be to group all of the electrical together as in sharing just that information with the electrical contractor? No big deal really, because they want to see it for themselves anyway, just was the only comment that I have :)
- G.K., Berea KY, August 2023

- T.N., Lewisville NC, May 2022
Wonderful and personable, definitely one of the best home inspections I could ask for. Helpful to understand what type of contractors to use to remedy various issues and thorough top to bottom. Honestly I don’t think he charges enough for his services coupled with the software that allows easy request lists.
- S.B., Lexington KY, May 2022
Carlo was great! He was very knowledgeable, he didn’t sugar-coat what he found. He gave us an honest assessment of the issues he found and even gave suggestions of how to potentially correct. We greatly appreciate his knowledge and expertise in giving us peace of mind with the home.

Carlo was so helpful and patient for our inspection. His inspection itself was very thorough and during the walk through he was very specific when explaining his findings. He took the time to answer our questions and make sure we understood each aspect of his findings. I would absolutely recommend him and call him for any future homes.
- L.M., Nicholasville KY, February 2022
By far, Carlo provided the most thorough and professional home inspection I've ever had. He's meticulous and very thoughtful to foresee potential issues before they arise. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answer any questions I had - his knowledge is very apparent through both the report and conversation. The report itself is incredibly organized and the system allowed me to very easily check the items I wanted the seller to address. Truly the best inspection experience ever. As long as he's available, I will never use anyone else again! Thank you, Carlo!
- C.H., Nicholasville KY, February 2022
Carlo was incredibly thorough and conscientious. He accommodated our being out-of-town with ease, and was extremely clear in every point of the inspection and walk-through.

Even my family and friends were impressed by
his inspection report, as was my realtor.
I would absolutely recommend Mr. Barone to
anyone who is considering having a home inspection. Your home is your biggest investment. Choose the BEST home inspector!
- D.A., Nicholasville KY, October 2021
Carlo was very thorough and focused on providing a comprehensive inspection report. His report was detailed and provided helpful information about the recommendations for any necessary replacements or repairs. He made sure he was available in the timeframe needed to complete the inspection, and was quick to answer any follow up questions I had about the report. As a new home buyer, I appreciated the clear and concise manner in which Carlo presented his findings during the walkthrough, such as providing examples and descriptions of how different elements of the home currently functioned versus how they should function. He also encouraged me to raise any questions or concerns despite the home owners’ presence during the inspection. I would highly recommend Carlo and Talon Home Inspections to anyone in need of a home inspection.

- G.B., Park Ridge IL, July 2021
Carlo is always very thorough. He walks through every aspect of the inspection process with great detail. Always a pleasure to work with!
- J.S., Lexington KY, July 2021
Carlo provided a very detailed inspection and a thorough walk-through afterwards. Although this was new construction, Carlo pointed out several items that needed attention. The report was quite detailed and provided several photos and an actionable list of things to be repaired that could be sent directly to your realtor. I would highly recommend Talon Home Inspections to anyone looking for a new construction inspection.
- M.B., Lexington KY, June 2021
Very thorough and good at explaining the issues as well as the fixes. I'd recommend Carlo to anyone looking for a home inspector.
- A.P., Lexington KY, June 2021
We purchased a newly constructed home and had an inspection prior to moving in. Unfortunately, that inspector was not Carlos with Talon Home Inspections. We are lucky enough to have a new neighbor who did use Carlos and recommend him before our 1 year warranty ends with the builder. Carlos found several problems that the original inspector missed as he does a very thorough inspection. His report is extensive and easy to both read and understand. I only wished we would have known of him sooner.
- B.B., Lexington KY, May 2021
Carlo was very thorough and patient. He was very informative and gave us great suggestions.
- T.R., Pikeville KY, April 2021
Very professional and explained all aspects of the inspection as we walked through the house. Very easy to understand the house condition...
- J.A., Georgetown KY, March 2021
Giancarlo did a very thorough inspection of our soon to be new home! He spent four hours inspecting the property and then walked through with us explaining every item of concern. He also discussed long term maintenance issues which was very nice.
- N.W., Lexington KY, March 2021
Carlo was very friendly and very thorough! He explained what he was doing as he was inspecting, gave me a very detailed verbal overview of his findings, sent an even more detailed written report noting any issues (including photos ensuring no confusion), and suggested solutions to address those issues. As an extra perk, I got a very nice book that simplifies operation and maintenance of your home - complete with a seasonal check list! I would highly recommend Carlo and Talon Home Inspections!
- J.H., Lexington KY, March 2021
Excellent work again! Details are important and Mr. Barone is all about details.
Very trustworthy and reliable.
I would highly recommend.
- S.C., Versailles KY, March 2021
An outstanding Home Inspector. Very knowledgeable and respectful.
- A.F., March 2021
Carlo was very thorough and provided a detailed walkthrough of his report with me at the home as well as sending a very detailed report to me with photos afterwards. He was also very amiable and pleasant to talk through. I would recommend both for his professionalism and personality.
- K.P., Lexington KY, February 2021
Outstanding job! Carlo does great work.
Very in-depth, pictures and videos were helpful.
We almost bought a house that would have cost us many extra dollars to fix because of structural issues.
Thank goodness for this home inspection. It was well worth the money.
- S.C., Versailles KY, February 2021
Carlo was very accommodating with my timeframe and the home owners' who were overly concerned about covid exposure. He completed a very thorough inspection and provided helpful suggestions and recommendations in many areas around the house. He particularly targeted safety issues.
I would highly recommend him for home inspections.
- T.H., Lexington KY, January 2021
I was recommended to Talon by a friend, and Carlo definitely lived up to my expectations. He is very thorough and explained everything clearly. If you want a high quality home inspection, you only need to call Carlo at Talon Home Inspections.
- W.C., Nicholasville KY, December 2020
We would absolutely recommend Carlo to anyone needing a home inspection before purchasing a new home. He is very friendly, and knowledgeable. He takes his time to do a complete inspection, and then takes you on a walkthrough to show you the things he found wrong during his inspection that need to be corrected. He answers any and all questions you may have. He did a great and thorough inspection for us, and if we ever need another home inspection, we will be sure to use him again!
- S.H., December 2020
Very thorough. Great walk through at end of inspection that pointed out any issues he identified and what was important. Would highly recommend.
- G.O., Robbinsdale MN, December 2020
Carlo was thorough and honest and helped me to avoid a bad investment. Everything he found he also suggested true and verifiable fixes. He also took the time to explain a couple of every day things that would help me, as a homeowner. And to top it all off he gave me a new homeowners manual to keep me organized throughout my journey as a homeowner. Thank you Carlo! I am so grateful for your time and your expertise!
- L.M., Lexington KY, December 2020
Super professional and worth every penny!
- C.M., Lexington KY, November 2020
Carlo was very thorough in his review. He discussed all of the areas of the house and made sure to touch on some 'red flag' points before we started our walkthrough. He made sure that I was informed on everything he investigated no matter if the item was in good or bad shape. He was able to answer any questions that I had and was able to provide information from past experiences to help me better understand a problem. He was very knowledgeable and offered to help us out with future questions, if we had any, after we move into the house. The report included very descriptive points to problem areas with photos and videos and also provided web links for problem solving some of the issues. I highly recommend Carlo to anyone looking for a home inspector.
- C.M., Lexington KY, November 2020

- I.P., Erlanger KY, October 2020
Carlos did a wonderful job. He was friendly, flexible with scheduling, professional, and thorough. I highly recommend him for any future home buyers. Even when the home seller was less than cordial with him regarding an additional inspection, Carlos remained professional and flexible and was still able to get the inspection done in a quick time frame. His pictures and videos to accompany any discrepancies was an excellent addition to his services.
- B.B., Lexington KY, October 2020
He was very thorough, professional, and friendly. He gave examples on what would need to be done to fix certain issues and the inspection report was extremely detailed and equally as helpful. I'd recommend anyone looking for a top of the line inspection give him a call!
- N.M., Lexington KY, September 2020
Very professional and polite. Extremely thorough and timely. Couldn't be more pleased.
- P.S., Lexington KY, August 2020
I can't thank Carlo enough for his professionalism, his understanding, his attention to detail, and his overall care for his customers.
We are first time home owners and his patience with us was very appreciated. He explained everything in a way we understood. Making us very comfortable. He took time to get to know us to make our inspection more personal. He pointed out things that would matter more to our situation versus others. I will recommend Carlo and Talon Home Inspections to all my friends and family.
- A.D., Richmond KY, August 2020
Very thorough and knowledgeable.

I had heard great things about Talon and Carlo. He did not disappoint: he was very thorough, knowledgeable and honest with me. I will absolutely use him again. Strongly recommend Talon Home Inspections!
- R.D., Lexington KY, July 2020
I would absolutely use Carlo again and plan on recommending him for other jobs. He took his time and was very thorough. He treated the home as if he were buying it and that was reflected in his report. Thanks for your hard work!
- A.M., Lexington KY, July 2020
Very thorough and took time to explain all findings. Definitely recommend
- E.C., July 2020
Carlo was incredible! His communication, attention to detail, and follow through can't be beat! We will definitely use again.
- C.D., Palmer Lake CO, July 2020
Carlo did a wonderful thorough job with my home inspection. He then went over all issues in person around the home. Everything was well explained. The inspection report was very detailed and easy to understand. He was very easy to work with and followed up with everything. Great communication skills. I would definitely recommend him 100% to everyone!
- J.A., Pikeville KY, July 2020
Carlo did a Great Job! Would highly recommend!!!
- A.A., Flemingsburg KY, June 2020
There is frankly no one as good of an inspection company as Talon. Carlo is an outstanding, highly detail-oriented individual. He checked every outlet, every switch, every appliance in the house, provided serial #, date of the last service, and appliance conditions. His report is very systematic and I love the fact that at the end of the report, you can create a custom checklist for repairs with an estimated cost. He saved from from purchasing a house that was amazing from the inside but had many functional issues that could cost me a lot to get it repaired and make it workable. Most importantly, Carlo is honest, which I think is very important if you want to hire a home inspector. You can trust him. I would definitely seek his services in the future. I highly recommend him.
- C.K., Lexington KY, June 2020
Mr. Barone did an outstanding job inspecting our new home. Many people say that there is no need for a home inspection on a new build. However, after he inspected it, several issues were discovered that could have potentially been very expensive down the road if he had not found them. We were very well pleased with his knowledge and insight on all areas of the home. We highly recommend Mr. Barone for any home inspection that needs to be done new or older. He lived up to all the reviews that we read before calling him. His price was very reasonable. We loved that he walked us through the house to show us his findings. He was also very personable. It was not a dreadful experience but rather a delightful experience in the home buying process.
- B.H., Georgetown KY, June 2020
Giancarlo did a great job, he was very thorough and was very good at explaining what he found so we could understand it.
- M.R., Georgetown KY, June 2020
Carlo was very thorough and took the time to explain everything (big or small) he found and answer all of the questions I had. His report included pictures and videos of inspected areas of the home, as well as "for your information" items that a homeowner should know about, such as the location of the dryer vent pipe and the serial & model numbers of appliances. He also provided me with a book that explains proper home maintenance with illustrations, which I greatly appreciate as a first-time home buyer. I highly recommend his service!
- K.S., Richmond KY, May 2020
As a 1st time home buyer, I was very appreciative of Carlo's thoroughness and honesty with my home inspection!! I had many questions, which he was more than happy to answer and also provided many examples to ensure my understanding and clarity. Carlo's communications were always consistent and transparent. He extended his expertise and assistance beyond just the home inspection which is very reassuring! You can tell that he cares about his customers and wants to be as helpful as possible! Highly recommend
- R.B., Lexington KY, May 2020
Good thorough report, with clear information regarding each problem.
- J.Z., Frankfort KY, May 2020
He did a very comprehensive report on the same day right after the inspection. I found his home report very helpful and I also learned a lot from reading it.
- D.N., East Lansing MI, May 2020
I really appreciated all your help and how detailed you were, especially with me being an out of state client. I felt fully aware of all the issues and next steps to take and learned a little along the way too. Thanks!
- L.J., South Haven MS, May 2020
Mr. Talon was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. We would definitely use him in the future again!
- C.W., Lexington KY, April 2020
We used Carlo for two inspections. After discussing the inspection with him for the first home, we opted not to buy it. For the second home, his thoroughness was as consistent as for the first. He did not hesitate to explain any details, and wanted to ensure we had all the information needed not just to make a decision, but also to maintain the home and appliances after purchase. We're very pleased with his work and his demeanor.
- B.K., Lexington KY, April 2020
Very professional and thorough. Exactly what you want from a home inspector.
- D.F., Lexington KY, March 2020
Carlo did a phenomenal job with my home inspection. He was detailed and thorough; his job made a first time homebuyer like me stress a lot less about the homebuying process. I would highly recommend Carlo for any job!
- S.M., Lexington KY, March 2020
Giancarlo was prompt, professional and informative. I would recommend him to any friend or neighbor.
- S.D., Lexington KY, March 2020
Carlo was fantastic! He was extremely thorough, literally testing every outlet in the house and taking detailed photos and videos of everything. The inspection report was extremely detailed but also had a condensed summary to highlight the most important findings. During the walkthrough, he answered every single one of our questions with patience and understandable language. We would never do another home inspection in Lexington with anyone else!!! He may be more expensive than others but the difference in price is well worth it.
- I.B., Lexington KY, March 2020
Carlo is very thorough and does an outstanding job at what he does. I’ve had him inspect two houses and would only use him from here on out.
- T.F., Lexington KY, February 2020
We were very pleased with Mr. Barone's professionalism and thoroughness. We will recommend his services with enthusiasm in the future.
- A.B., Lexington KY, February 2020
Carlo was personable AND professional. He has a no-nonsense persona and he gets things done!
I liked that he took his time in explaining the inspection to me and did not just ‘rush’ through it. I wish more businesses were like Talon.
- L.B., Lexington KY, January 2020
I haven’t moved into the house that was inspected yet so my opinion will obviously change if the home falls apart. That being said, Carlo was outstanding to work with. He seems to be thorough with his inspection as well as details such as returning calls and arriving on time for the inspection. I feel that he gave me a good gauge regarding the condition of the house. Thus far, I have only praise for Talon Inspections. I will not hesitate to use them again when I’m in need of a home inspector.
- K.L., Janesville OH, December 2019
He was very thorough, took time to explain all findings, ad made me feel at ease with proceeding with my home purchase. His follow up with everything from scheduling the appointment through ensuring I understood all findings in the report was exceptional. I appreciate the clear photos in the report, along with suggestions for correcting and updating the areas of concern. I would definitely recommend Mr. Barone to anyone, and will use again if the need arises.

Extremely professional and thorough. Honest and trustworthy. Very prompt. Love the home inspection report and ability to select the repair items directly from the report. Very easy to use and creates a great report for the seller to visualize the problems. Love the book you give for home maintenance. Thanks so much!
- T.W., Lexington KY, October 2019
I would without a doubt recommend Carlo and Talon Home Inspections. Carlo was very thorough, detail oriented and prompt with returning messages. After spending hours doing the home inspection, he spent about another hour with me to go through all his findings. He explained why certain items would be listed as repairs in his report and answered any question that I had. Carlo also provided recommendations for future home maintenance. As a first time home buyer this was great! I also appreciated that the report he provided was very detailed but easy to read. Thank you Carlo!
- K.A., Lexington KY, September 2019
Mr. Barone was very prompt when arriving to do his home inspection and very thorough. He took his time and looked over everything. He took his time explaining all the things he found. He told us what things were hazards, what things just might annoy you, what things need a specialist to give further information. I would use him again and appreciate his lengthy report and all the information needed to help me know the property I am buying.
- S.B., September 2019
Great inspector. He thoroughly inspected the house and provided much needed information on the house. I believe his inspection provided more information than some others may have. Would certainly recommend Carlo for any home inspection.
- T.T., Lexington KY, September 2019
Mr. Barone is outstanding toward his work. He is very conscientious, attentive to details, thorough in explaining findings during the walkthrough, and willing to communicate further when contacted after the inspection was complete. Truly a professional home inspector.
- C.H., September 2019
He did a wonderful job and very knowledgeable also did a breakdown of each problem also photos of the problems explaining details it helped me out a lot I told him when I get a new home he got my business! I'm well satisfied with his service!
- J.D., Winchester KY, September 2019
Carlo was great! The entire process--from first contact to follow-up after inspection--was a truly pleasant experience. Carlo worked with our schedule and answered every single question we had before the inspection began. His inspection report was amazingly detailed and thorough, and his walk through of the home with us was equally informative. He's not just looking for big-ticket items--he catches you up to speed on the ENTIRE home. He checked EVERY window and EVERY electrical outlet in the entire house (many inspectors check a "representative sample"). He was both professional and patient while answering our many questions. He even called us the day following the inspection to see if we had any additional questions, and spent an hour on the phone with us at that time. Can't recommend him highly enough!!
- B.H., Lexington KY, August 2019
Carlo was the consummate professional and his inspection was thorough and comprehensive. Beside pointing out items needing attention he also provided information for key maintenance items. We would highly recommend Carlo to anyone else needing his services.
- E.P., Lexington KY, August 2019
Very thorough. Explained findings clearly and concisely. I will highly recommend Carlo to others.
- C.C., Lexington KY, August 2019
Excellent! Carlo did a great job. He is very thorough and provided very in depth explanations.
- J.U., Hookstown PA, July 2019
More than pleased with Carlo's work. Definitely would recommend him. Extremely thorough.
- T.K., Lexington KY, July 2019
Carlo was honest and reliable regarding home inspection process from the beginning when we decided to work with him. Time line of getting the inspection completed was tight, but he was able to accommodate to best of his ability as he had other homes to inspect near the dates our inspection deadline of our home builder. His suggestions about our new home about what to watch closely was on point. We prefer to work with Carlo again if we need a home inspector.
- T.K., July 2019
The inspection was quite thorough. We have an older home and it was very helpful to have the report. Very professional and personable! I would use him again.

- H.H., Richmond KY, July 2019
Giancarlo did an outstanding job! On our initial phone call, he explained the process in great detail. His online system is VERY easy user friendly and allowed our real estate to view it! He explained the radon test and how to take care of it when the problem arose. His online report allowed us to custom a repair list that worked well with the real estate agents online system too. The report was easy to read and detailed what repairs were needed. It allowed you to pick out the repairs you wanted to have done. He also included "For your information" comments of things we would want to watch out for in the future. He gave us follow up information after he did the walk through with my husband at the end of the inspection. If you are looking for a professional inspector with knowledge and a easy process, you will want to call Giancarlo!
- T.H., Athens TN, July 2019
Awesome! He is very thorough.
- E.R., Frankfort KY, May 2019
Thorough, steady, organized, informative...
Just a few of the many superlatives describing Carlo?s work and customer service. I would recommend him to anyone.

Carlo did a thorough and complete job and was easy to commnunicate with. His report format made it easy to complete and share a request list for my purchase offer.
