John was great to work with and did an incredibly thorough job with our home inspection. He took his time going through everything, explained what he was seeing as he went, and made sure we understood any issues that came up. As first-time homebuyers, we really appreciated how easy he made the process and how comfortable we felt asking questions. His report was detailed, clear, and ended up being very helpful during our inspection negotiations. We definitely felt like John had our best interests in mind. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough home inspector.Posted on Google![]()

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Home Quest Home Inspection and cannot recommend them highly enough. John, the owner, personally conducted our home inspection and was tremendous from start to finish. As first time home buyers, there are obviously a lot of things we simply do not know or fully understand, and John made the entire process incredibly comfortable and informative. He took his time walking us through every part of the house, clearly explained what he was looking at and why it mattered, answered every question we had, and provided extremely helpful recommendations along the way. We never felt rushed, and he made sure we understood everything before moving on. We also really appreciated how Home Quest took care of the entire process for us. They coordinated with a separate company to come out during the inspection to evaluate our septic system, which made everything incredibly easy and seamless on our end. What impressed us most was how knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and personable John was throughout the inspection. We walked away feeling significantly more educated and confident about the home we are purchasing. To top it all off, Home Quest had our complete, detailed inspection report back to us by late afternoon the very same day. The turnaround was incredible and just reinforced how professional and organized the entire experience was. If you are looking for a home inspector who is thorough, professional, honest, and genuinely takes the time to educate his clients, I would highly recommend John and Home Quest Home Inspection. They truly took care of every step for us, and the entire experience from beginning to end was outstanding. Absolutely deserving of five stars!Posted on Google![]()

Working with John Koch was easily one of the best decisions as we look for a home. From the second he arrived, his warm, friendly personality put us right at ease during what normally is a stressful process, especially for first time home buyers like my wife and I. To call John thorough is an understatement. He examined every single inch of the property with incredible precision—from the roof structure down to the crawl space. He didn't just spot things that needed attention; he took the time to walk us through the home, explaining why certain issues mattered and how to maintain systems for the long haul. It’s clear he is a true master of his craft. His depth of knowledge, eye for detail, and ability to break down all aspects of a home you need to look carefully at were seriously impressive. The final inspection report was insanely detailed, organized, and delivered fast, complete with high-resolution photos and actionable insights. If you want complete peace of mind when buying or selling a home, hire John Koch of Home Quest Inspection. He sets the gold standard for home inspectors, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!Posted on Google![]()

We used Home Quest 14 years ago when we bought our first house and they were the first call I made when we needed to schedule another inspection. John spends the entire inspection not only inspecting but talking us through everything we need to know about the house. Home Quest also schedules all the other inspections needed - well, septic, oil tank and furnace - which saves so much time and stress for the buyer. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

John and his entire team were a pleasure to work with! They were very responsive to our inquiry and questions — John provided thorough responses to our questions during the inspection and a very detailed report shortly thereafter.

All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help explain how serious the problems are and which should be addressed immediately and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. Learn More About Pre-Listing Inspection.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S. Radon causes lung cancer, and is a threat to health because it tends to collect in homes, sometimes to very high concentrations. Learn More About Radon Testing.
Water contaminants (Well Water or City Water): Drinking water, especially well water, may contain several contaminants, some hazardous and some not. Nevertheless, even when the water supply appears safe, problems can be present. We always recommend testing well water during a real estate transaction for bacteria, Physical and inorganic Chemicals, and Radon. City water should also be tested periodically. Learn More About Water Testing Quality.
Home Quest Home Inspection will visually inspect the well system equipment and observed the performance of the equipment. However, we do not dismantle the well equipment to determine the condition of the well pump or perform well water recovery tests. Well water system repairs can be expensive. Learn More About Well System Inspection.

An independent septic contractor will locate and inspect the septic tank, and check the flow throughout the system. Learn More About Septic System Inspection.
A typical homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover destruction caused by termites, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in damage to homes throughout the United States each year. It’s important that homeowners understand the threat of termites, and take the necessary steps to protect their homes. Learn More About Termite Inspection.
