Testimonials from several of my recent clients:
To whom it may concern,
My name is Wally Westbrook. In my earlier life I built homes. Matter of fact, I started a community, 'GROGAN’S POINT', in the Woodlands. My ‘small homes’ were between 6,000 and 8,000 square feet. The large homes were between 10,000 and 16,000 square feet. I was the ‘LEAD Builder' in The Woodlands for almost two decades.
Recently, I purchased a home and ‘totally redesigned and rebuilt it’. Rodney Sims is who ‘I’ called to come and inspect my project (my home). …..with all of my years in the business, I called Rodney. He is thorough, has a keen eye for detail, and is up to date on the latest codes, which is VERY IMPORTANT.
With a great amount of confidence I recommend Rodney Sims.

**** NEW TESTIMONIAL RECENTLY ADDED ***
My Family’s Go-to Guy for Quality Home Inspections....
I just had the pleasure of working with Rodney Sims on an inspection for a home I’m considering purchasing. He came highly recommended by my sister, who has used Rod three times in the recent past. I can recommend him without hesitation. He is highly trained, very competent and extremely thorough. He is current on all applicable codes and has all the latest tools, equipment and technology. He takes the time to explain his findings and is more than happy to answer all your questions. His report is very clear and easy to understand, and includes multiple photos that I find very helpful.It is obvious to me that Rodney takes a great deal of pride in his work and truly cares about his clients. He did an outstanding job for me, at a fair price, and under very difficult conditions, even refusing to accept “hazard” pay for all the extra trouble. If you want to avoid costly problems and ensure the safety of your home, this is your guy.
(Home Buyer - Houston) (06-17-2011)
This may sound cliché but it's soooo true and I need to say, “Rodney Sims is the BEST Home Inspector in Texas”. I am a first time home buyer and was skeptical about how I was going to find the ‘right man’ for the job. I found Rodney online and selected him to do a full inspection on the home I was about to purchase. He went all out…, above…, and beyond….
And sent me the report ASAP... (one that I could understand, then he took the time to explain any details on the report, especially since I was a first time home buyer...)
He a ‘professional’ and very comfortable to work with... Thanks to Rodney Sims I got all the major repairs done that I wanted.... They were for issues on the home that I am sure ‘no other inspector’ would have pointed out... When he finished his job Rodney still checked in, to make sure we were comfortable....
That’s ‘caring from the heart’ and not just trying to get the job done..... I will recommend Rodney to EVERYONE ready to buy a home...., Selling a home..., And trust me...., Rodney will do a GOOD job.
Thank you, Erneste & Kris Simons (2010 Home Buyer - Fairway Crossing)
Google Review:
Truly the best home inspector in the business!
I found REI Specialist on Google & selected them based on Rodney's experience in building homes. A person obviously won't know how to inspect a home, unless he knows how they're built from the ground up. Well it truly paid off for us. Mr. Sims spent over 6 hours inspecting our future 3400 sq. foot home, which is hard to believe in itself.
The inspector that inspected my previous home before I sold it, only spent about 1 1/2 hours on the job. Anyways, he found the a/c was leaking about 80% of the cold air into the attic using his infrared camera, found several issues with the roof, and that the oven was heating up to 470 degrees when set to 350!
All of these all could have been very expensive if had we not hired REI-Specialist. Thanks Rodney!

GOOGLE REVIEW:
This guy and his wife are amazing. They caught so many things in a brand new house. Rodney crawled through the entire attic and the poor things had to do the inspection midday in the Texas summer heat (A/C hadn't been activated yet).
They measured the ceilings to see if they were level (and they were ‘not’). They even caught that the interior hinges of the pantry door didn't have all the screws. The house was 2000 sq. ft. and a brand new construction and the two of them took over 4 hours to inspect everything. They also took the time to explain what issues really meant and how to deal with them. They were so polite and helpful.
I would recommend them to everyone!!! I usually don't rate businesses, but this experience was so exceptional I just had to. If you need an inspector, just give him a call. It will be worth it!

Rodney,
"Thank you so much for taking care of the inspection on our new home.
Today, I witnessed just how diligent you are in the inspection process. Your expertise, knowledge and professionalism clearly shows in your work. I am proud to recommend you to my realtor, my mortgage broker and my friends and family. I will do my very best to send folks your way."
Thank you for all your help. Curt (12/30/2009)(Home Buyer - The Woodlands)
Rodney,
I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for your hard work. Your inspection report is filled with so much detail that it paints a picture that allows me to feel like I am revisiting the site days later.
Your extensive knowledge and friendly attitude has made me a dedicated customer. It has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to doing business with you again.
David (02/23/2010) (Home Buyer - Atascocita)
We enthusiastically endorse the home inspection work of Rodney Sims. His home inspection knowledge is first rate.
Even more impressive is his 'work ethic' and his 'positive attitude'. He thoroughly answered our questions. The final report was completed promptly and contained pictures with notes that clearly highlighted the deficiencies.
In closing, the work he performed far exceeded our expectations, and in our opinion, was 'worth more' than the fee he charged us. You can’t go wrong with this inspector.
Eric and Camee McGregor (07/17/2010) (Home Buyers - Friendswood)
Rodney,
It was such a pleasure meeting and working with you. I also appreciate your taking your time to explain a few things in layman’s terms that I could understand. And the time and care you took with my clients was very much appreciated by them as well as by me!
Once again, I truly appreciate your diligent inspection, your professionalism, and most of all, your "can-do" attitude. I look forward to doing business again in the near future with you.
Thanks Rodney for being so willing to go above and beyond...
Elizabeth (01/13/2010) (Realtor - The Woodlands)
Hello Mr. Sims,
In February of 2011 you completed a residential inspection for us in Spring, Texas. We have been unable to purchase that property due to unresolved title issues… We will be looking for another property immediately, and will be giving you call for your immaculate services. Thanks in advance for helping us.
Sincerely, The Carters (04/25/2011)
Mr. Sims,
"Thank you so much your professionalism and expertise in completing a thorough inspection of our home. The report was well written, detailed, and easy to understand.
Your willingness to go 'above and beyond' was greatly appreciated."
Thank you, again. Mr. & Mrs. Hudson (12/02/09) (Home Buyer, The Woodlands)
