None have listened or explained things like the team at Signature Home Inspections Hawaii. These guys are absolute LEGENDS. I have worked with Trevor and his team on a few properties I helped my clients purchase. Trevor is very thorough and always has a suggestion or solution for every issue we came across. The best part is he even has a list of trusted vendors he provides which have always served me well. Thanks again Matt & Trevor !

I’ve been in the Real Estate business for over 30 years, Trever is the ultimate professional. Thorough and knowledgeable. He was able to communicate with the clients regarding issues is a manner that made it easy to understand first, through visuals and then by way of a walkthrough. Expert in his field is putting it mildly.
We hired Trevor on Oahu for a home that was especially challenging. Age. Condition. Etc.
Probably one of the best inspectors I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
– Patti Kam, Kailua-Kona & Honolulu (Source: Yelp)
Trevor Drinen did an amazing job. He was efficient and very professional. I would highly recommend him and his team and I would gladly call upon them for any future inspections I may need as well.
– Lisa L, Lahaina, HI ( Source: Yelp )
Very thorough, detailed, and professional. Took time to explain everything, both good and bad, about a home I was purchasing. Offered free consultation in the future if I need advice about home repairs. Very friendly as well. Highly recommend.
– Mike K, Haleiwa, HI (Source: Yelp)
Trevor is definitely the best Home Inspector I ever hired. He was very courteous, prompt, and thorough. He looked at every detail, and pointed every possible problem with our house, and gave us options on what we needed to do about it.
After he finished his inspection, he took more than 2 hours to go through his report. Then we walked through the house, so he can point out all the defects. I find it much more comprehensible when he SHOWED me the problems, rather than just tell me. (I took the pass on climbing up the roof though!)
If I ever need another inspector, I definitely will call Trevor and his Company.
A good Home Inspector is worth every penny he charges. Trust me, Trevor’s Inspection will definitely save you money and spare you the potential headaches.

Matt, Hanzo, & Trevor were professional, friendly, and spoke in a language I could easily understand. They walked through the property with us room by room, stopping to explain findings in layman’s terms so that I could understand fully. The report he provided is excellent; well written details accompanied by photographs. I intend to call him again for follow up inspections.
– Dorthy D., Hawaii-Kai, HI ( Source: Yelp )
I can’t say enough great things about Signature Inspections and our representative of the day, Matt. They were able to get us booked with less than 24hrs notice and Matt was so kind in explaining every detail of the report and making sure that I was armed with helpful tips to maintain my new purchase.
When I say the report and the walkthrough was thorough (he went through the house twice to checkout everything before I arrived), it was more than I could have even thought to expect. Great pictures, details on current statr, easy to understand point system, and great recommendations and demonstrations.
I highly recommend that you call them anytime you or someone you know needs an inspection. Oh, and did I mention that they are certified and insured to provide you with the best service? Yes! Customer service was also top notch. I received the digital report– that Matt explained with great detail during the walkthrough–within a 1/2 hour. Matt knows his stuff and was such a great addition to #teampurchase.
– Eboni M, Ewa Beach, HI ( Source: Yelp )
We hired the team at Signature Inspections Hawaii twice. Based on the inspection report Trevor provided for the first home we were seriously interested in, we withdrew our offer. Trevor pointed out a lot of potential problems with that home and probably saved us a lot of money and headaches. When he presented his report for the second home we made an offer on, we were relieved Trevor found the property to be solid.
We felt very confident in Trevor’s abilities to assess a home. He was very thorough and was careful to ensure we understood his findings. We are grateful to him, and certainly believe he deserves a 5 star rating.
– Charles S., Lahaina & Honolulu, HI ( Source: Yelp )
Trevor at Signature Home Inspections Hawaii is very professional, personable and takes the time needed to explain his report. He is a wealth of information and continues to take care of you after the inspection is complete should you have additional questions. He is the best!! Highly recommended.
– Lynn S., Honolulu, HI ( Source: Google & Yelp )
Matt & Trevor were extremely thorough and helpful making the home inspection a smooth process. They go above and beyond treating it as if it were their own home and own family were moving in. They educated us on areas of improvement in our first home and connected us with multiple contacts to assist us in our future renovations.
Trevor took his time and was extremely thorough, and anything I didn’t quite understand or see, he broke it down and reiterated until I was comfortable with the response. The inspection covered every inch and corner and crack in the apartment and was complemented by referring local companies whom could help us with any issues that were present.
– Devon F., Kailua, HI ( Source: Yelp, Google )
Trevor inspected a home we are in contract for, and both my husband and I had a great deal of anxiety about the fixer upper we decided to dive head first into. Trevor was professional, kind, thorough and we cannot thank him enough. We have a plan for remedying all the things we need to for our potential dream home. Mahalo nui, Trevor.
– K. & H., Pearl City, HI ( Source: Yelp )
These guys know their stuff! They understand the Hawaii building codes and how electrical and plumbing systems work. The report was super detailed with photos of everything. And they have gadgets to measure current, heat, etc. Not simply “a fellow running hot water and opening drawers,” Signature Home Inspections had a qualified pro who was very detailed and thorough. He walked me through the report right on the spot so we could discuss and make any adjustments based on my concerns. I worked with Matt and he was terrific. I have had several inspections of different properties and this was amazing. Thank you!
– Dean J., Honolulu, HI ( Source: Yelp )
All of the information was then compiled into a detailed report and sent to us within an hour after the inspection. Trevor was friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. We appreciate all his help which saved us from buying a place that had a lot of hidden damages and flaws.
– Kawai H., Waipio, HI ( Source: Yelp & Facebook )
I have used a few different home inspectors since becoming a realtor. None have been as thorough as Trevor Drinen or the team at Signature Home Inspections Hawaii. When I first met Trevor, he was working on behalf of buyers of a listing I handled in Sea Country, Waianae. Trevor was so personable, knowledgeable and preofessional that I had to recommend him later to my own buyers . His inspection reports are detailed, organized and full of useful photographs. Also, his use of the latest technology is quite impressive.
Being honest, thorough, meticulous and detailed are all traits potential home buyers want in an inspector. I strongly recommend hiring Trevor Drinen because he possesses all of these traits. When buying or selling a home, you will want him in your corner.
– Aloha–Tommy Morgan, Coldwell Banker (Source: Yelp)
Trevor was so detailed and made sure every part of the house was inspected with a plethora of pics to see any and all concerns! Friend efficient Thorough and more!! MAHALO!!
– Angie J., Pearl City, HI ( Source: Yelp )
Trevor and Matt were very thorough and detailed in their report. They covered the whole house top to bottom and answered hundreds of questions that we have. They were very patient with us, and we learned a lot. Definitely would recommend to anyone buying a home! Very good price as well. They went above and beyond our expectations.

I’ve been in the Real Estate business for over 30 years, I own two business and I am a property owner/investor. Hence, I can say with a high degree of confidence that Signature Home Inspections Hawaii “Trevor” is an OUTSTANDING professional – Home Inspector. Trevor brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and vast expertise to each inspection – thus producing a comprehensive report. A report that includes photos of problem areas, interior links for quick access and links to supporting information outside the report. To top if all off, Trevor is insured, certified and about the best price around when you look at the time he spent at the property and the detailed report he produced. I very rarely recommend people…. but, Trevor has my complete confidence and I plan on using him again and will recommend him to others.
– P.G., Veteran Real Estate Agent / Real Estate Investor (Source: Yelp)
Having a background in construction and some related services, I was impressed with the thorough and knowledgeable report provided to me. Trevor obviously knows the critical areas and is clear at detailing his findings, concerns or approvals. There is a level of professionalism I have not often experienced. Much appreciated.
– Gary P., Mililani, HI ( Source: Yelp )
Trevor did everything and beyond what we asked for. He is very professional and knowledgeable on what he is doing. Thank you Trevor.
– Khang, N.D., Honolulu, HI ( Source: Google & Yelp )
Aweeeeeeesome job, super thorough! Visual and verbal explanations were great, especially for a layperson like me! I have had two other inspections and felt rushed / intimidated. The Signature team truly helped to provide us with knowledge about the properties current conditions and to feel secure in our decision. Thanks, Trevor & Matt.

– Alec, Residential & Commercial Property Investor ( Source: Yelp )
A true professional and extremely knowledgeable. He showed up early and ready to get t work. Explained things as he went along and if it was important it was pointed out. Then he would readdress those things during the walk-through to insure that it was understood. Would highly recommend him for future inspections.
– John S., Kaneohe (Source: Yelp)
The Signature team and Trevor did an excellent job thoroughly inspecting the home! More importantly, they explained the findings with pictures included and went further into the details of maintaining the home and everything in it. This was very useful information for all homebuyers! The teams professionalism with a genuine “aloha spirit’ was such a pleasure to encounter. Thank you!
– Nadine Austria, Hawaii Kai (Source: Facebook)
Trevor performed a very thorough inspection of the house we are considering buying. He was very thorough, happy to discuss what he was doing as he was going through the property, and provided a very thorough and readable report for us at the end. He also had excellent communication with us and our agent in the lead up to the inspection. Trevor clearly takes pride in his work and is extremely knowledgable.
– Jeff F, University Of Hawaii Professor (Source: Yelp)
Trevor Drinen and the team at Signature Inspections are a rare breed of combining the perfect mix of technical experience, integrity with strong core values, and “old fashioned” professionalism. Treat it like it’s yours, make it easy for the next man, and the golden rule, are the best ways to explain his timely and concise communication, promptness, thorough inspection with integrated technology, superior customer service, and a heart to serve his clients, customers, and the community. I’ve been around many home inspectors, representing both sides of Buyer/Seller, and Trevor is top notch! Highly recommended and referred!
-Shari S, Veteran Realtor (Source: Yelp)
Super impressed with the team at Signature Inspections Hawaii and on the work Trevor performed. Watching him apply the latest technology was not only an advantage and benefit to him but us the home buyer !!
His use of thermal imaging was what got our attention. I got to see what it does and learned a few things in the process…
Infact the tenants also present are in the process of buying a house and when the saw Trevor applying this technology they immediately commented that they want that done with their inspection !!
Once all was done we received his detailed report in no time with pictures and recommendations on how to move forward.
He gave you a sense that he was looking out for your best interest. Not just going through the motion.
If you are looking for a home inspector give Signature Home Inspections Hawaii .

Trevor is so knowledgeable and very passionate about his work! He is professional and responds very quickly to inquiries.

As a first time home buyer his recommendations gave me a clear plan on how to proceed with our purchase.
– J.braby, Waipahu (Source: Yelp)

I had a great experience using Signature Inspections Hawaii for a home inspection. Owner Trevor Drinen is thorough and professional looking for everything from water damage to working outlets to the condition of appliances and fixtures. Trevor took the time to point out areas of concern and ways to address them. He patiently answered all my questions, and as part of his services, offers resources and referrals for additional work.

Trevor was the best! He was very professional and knowledgeable, but yet he was very humble and approachable at the same time! He went through the inspection results one by one. Although we have no experience or knowledge in this whole “buying a house process,” he made sure to take enough time and helped us understand every single sep of it. With his passion and positive attitude, it made this “home inspection” a very fun and enjoyable experience! Thank you so much, Trevor!

As a veteran Realtor I am selective about who I work with and the Home Inspectors recommend to my clients. The home inspector I’ve been using for years recently retired. He recommended I gave the team at Signature Inspection Hawaii a try. I was not disappointed. Trevor, response time is unreal. The business side of his business is clearly organized. He was willing and able to discuss items beyond the report that helped put my client’s mind at ease. To top it off, our schedules weren’t lining up, so he offered to do the inspection during the evening.

Trevor from Signature Home Inspections Hawaii came highly recommended by my realtor during my home buying inspection process. After meeting him, witnessing his professionalism, industry knowledge, wonderful communication, use of advanced inspection techniques/tools and commitment to going above and beyond, I now understand why she considers him the cream of the crop. Trevor is a genuinely nice person which just makes this entire process that much easier and better. He was happy to answer any questions I had during the inspection and was easy to communicate with when I had additional questions (even after the fact). The digital report that he provided is well organized and very comprehensive. The end product he delivered makes using him for any of my future home inspection needs a no-brainier.
Thank you Trevor for your superior service and delivery of a superior product!

Exactly what you want in a home inspector! Professional, knowledgeable, honest, frank, caring, treats you like family…what’s not to like? Trevor inspected my sister’s home, provided lots of data, pictures, explanations, recommendations, etc., coming over a second time, on a Saturday, to explain anything not understood, to answer any questions that arose after the inspection and to offer direction on cures. Great experience for us, great job by him.

As a heart surgeon, understandable communication and precision are of an immense value. Trevor is a true professional. He is courteous and one can tell he loves what he does. I’ve had 3 inspections in the last 6 weeks by 3 different companies; I highly recommend Signature Inspections above the others and will use them in the future. Their ability to detect water with a imaging system that looks through walls and ceilings, is an amazing tool. I feel very comfortable moving forward with my very expensive home purchase due to Trevor’s inspection.
~ Donna L, Honolulu (Source: Yelp)
Trevor was very professional, and highly knowledgeable about his work. As an Architect and Investor, I was impressed by the accuracy and speed of his work, as well as how it was documented. He had a heat sensor linked to his iPad which instantly showed where water was infiltrating the building structure. Highly recommended.

“Signature Home Inspections Oahu was great! We had a great experience with them for our home inspection. Trevor Drinen was kind and courteous and helped us with all of our inspections. I would recommend Signature Home Inspections Oahu to all of my friends and family.”
~ Ryan R, Army / Oahu, (Source: Yelp)
“First of all, if there were 10 stars, I would give 20
Signature Inspections was exceptional beyond words. Talk about a gentleman who knows his business inside and out. On top of that, Trevor possesses a wonderful professionalism and way about him that makes a potential home buyer much more comfortable and at ease with purchasing a new home.
His inspection was out of this world. We were able to schedule within a few days. The thoroughness and attention to every detail was beyond words. I have never in my history of homebuying, come across someone so thorough and committed to his work as Trevor
His professionalism and were unmatched
I would highly recommend him to any homebuyer as he makes this process almost enjoyable. Furthermore, his inspection report was executed quickly and with exquisite precision and accuracy
To top that all off, it was more than just the front end of the deal.
His willingness to answer questions and provide referrals for any work that may need to be done is again, over and beyond what is required.
Five star service, 10*attitude and professionalism
I will be sure to use Trevor again in the future.”
~ Thermage H, Honolulu (Source: Yelp)
“Trevor is so nice and friendly. Not to mention the service is really good. He walked me through everything. Asked if I had questions and was very patience + he is very thorough. He pointed out things I didn’t even notice when I walked through the place the first few times. He offers a full detailed report within hours also!!!! I would recommend!
~ Ashley B, Oahu (Source: Yelp)
“Trevor’s the man. Gave him a shot after seeing numerous reviews via social media and after the 1st inspection he did for a client, I immediately scheduled another one with him the same week. Trevor conveys a personable, diligent, and calm articulate presence in what can be a nerve racking time for homebuyers. I especially dig the thermal imaging part of his inspection; giving further peace of mind to what typically CAN’T be seen behind walls and ceilings in terms of moisture, leaks, and over heated electrical wiring. Don’t use him for your inspections so I can be sure he’s available for mine.”
~ Koa Cassady, Locations, LLC (Source: Facebook)
Trevor’s report is the most detailed and thorough I’ve ever seen. He took his time and didn’t mind me asking several questions. I felt empowered with knowledge and supported.

As first time Home Buyers me and my husband were literally overwhelmed with the entire home buying process.
The home inspection is an important step – you obviously want to know that what you are purchasing is in good condition. Trevor Drinen did a very thorough inspection and explained everything in a way where we understood exactly what we were getting. We were given piece of mind that our home investment is a good decision.
Great guy! For the things that he found, he had some solid recommendations as to where and who we could call to get the situations rectified at a good price.
I would definitely highly recommend him to anyone who is purchasing a new home…especially new home buyers.

“Trevor was very professional and very funny. I would highly recommend him as a home inspector to anyone looking for this service. He is affordable, friendly, and an expert at his craft.”
~ Nicholas Lum (Source: Facebook)
“Since my normal inspector was off island, I decided to contact Trevor to handle my client’s home inspection. I am glad I did! Trevor is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I’ve worked with a few inspectors already and must say that Trevor is top-notch. Very accommodating and extremely friendly as well. His ability to follow up is something I as a Realtor really appreciate. He will send texts to update you of the status of the home inspection which I really appreciated.
Regarding the actual inspection, he was extremely thorough (something my clients wanted as it was their first time buying a home). Upon arrival, he greeted them with a smile and went right into it. He took the time to walk my clients and I through the home, through each and every single room to point out any issues the home might have had. He would also stop to make sure my clients were following along and to address any questions or concerns they might have had. He would also offer recommended repairs and suggest very easy and simple fixes to address any issues we found in the home.
As a Realtor, I cannot tell you enough how much this meant to my clients. Buying a home for the first time is an emotional rollercoaster and hiring the right home inspector is very important. It can literally make or break a deal depending how a home inspector presents their findings and addresses the concerns of the future homeowners. I highly recommend Trevor and his services. His pricing was outstanding and he offered tremendous piece of mind to my clients. I look forward to a long and lasting friendship with Trevor. He has earned my business and referral.
Thank you Trevor, here’s to many more homes!”

The inspections were very detailed, came with 200pictures explaining the findings. Suggestions on maintenance and fixes. Won’t go wrong with Trevor. He is such a pleasant guy too. Signature Inspections will succeed. If the company was selling stock, I would buy/invest now with full confidence:)”

As young first time home buyers, there’s a lot we don’t usually know going into this whole process initially. That said, I really wanted to have someone that would be honest and as helpful as possible, and that’s exactly what I got! Our home inspectors name was Trevor. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who is thorough, passionate about what they do, and genuinely wanting to help you as the customer. He took the time to really explain our home inspection every step of the way. He made sure to always ask if I had any questions, which I also appreciated. With all that being said, I’d definitely use this company again in the future, and specifically request for Trevor! You won’t regret it!
“When looking for a Service Person one ALWAYS hopes to find someone with great integrity, honesty and excellence. Trevor Drinen is a shining example of all these qualities!

“Trevor Drinen is an expert and conscientious home inspector. My husband and I have put a second story on our house as well as helping build another one. My husband is an engineer, does all of our electrical, plumbing and home repairs. When Trevor went through the house, he meticulously caught every issue there was and made excellent suggestions on how to maximize the things that were minor repairs as well as point out the major flaws. He was able to explain the details clearly and give us all the information we needed. The time he spent with us was extremely valuable.”
~ Bonnie Ann Joyce (Source: Facebook)
“Trevor is someone who values integrity. You can see it in very aspect of his life. In my book, integrity is high up there when it comes to inspectors.”
~ TJ Gorum (Source: Facebook)
Adding one more excellent review for Trevor. Very professional, well equipped with technology, thorough yet fast, very friendly and polite. Great service!
Trevor was awesome! His knowledge of construction and attention to detail sets him apart from other inspectors that we’ve dealt with. Not only was he professional and friendly but he really seemed to care about our family’s interests and wanted us to make the best decision possible with as much information as was available. We trusted him for not one but two home inspections as the first one didn’t pan out.
Not that we needed more incentive but he also gave us a military discount on top of his already competitive prices.
Trevor is a true professional and clearly a man of integrity. We wouldn’t hesitate to call for his help again!
~ Leon C. (Source: Yelp)
Trevor Drinen inspected the home we are about to purchase. We are grateful for his excellent attention to detail, his use of infrared scanning and for the time he took to look at every area of the house. While many inspectors may be able to do all of these things, Trevor’s ability to clearly and carefully communicate his findings was extremely helpful. I recommend Trevor Drinen with Signature Inspections Hawaii unequivocally.

Great guy! For the things that he found, he had some solid recommendations as to where and who we could call to get the situations rectified at a good price.
I would definitely highly recommend him to anyone who is purchasing a new home…especially new home buyers.

“The most expensive and longest-term investment that you’ll ever make is most likely your home. Make sure this process involves having a home inspection. For this task I highly recommend my friend Trevor Drinen. He will objectively assess your home’s condition and provide you with an incredibly detailed and easy to understand report with tons of pictures. Trevor is a family man, and works very hard and honestly for them. He will not be pressured into giving a “quick clean report” to close a sale. He loves what he does and is very professional, knowledgeable and dependable. Do yourself a favor and let Signature Inspections Hawaii lead you through the inspection process!”

“As a first time home buyer I have relied a lot on my realtor to help me through the entire process. She suggested Trevor Drinen to do the home inspection and it was such a great experience.
Trevor not only finished the inspection early but was extremely thorough and personable. As a first time home buyer I was nervous and did not really know what to expect. Trevor took the time to walk through the entire condo with me and pointed things out step by step, explaining how he tested various items in the condo (washer/dryer, stove, etc), and showed me how it looked in the report as well.
Once the inspection was done and he had answered any additional questions that I had, he sent the report immediately so that I could access it on my own. The payment process was also super easy since he used square, I was able to pay and get a receipt and the end of the home inspection.
I will definitely be keeping Trevor in mind next time I am looking to purchase a place!”
As first time Home Buyers me and my husband were literally overwhelmed with the entire home buying process.

Admire Trevor’s dedication to helping us make wise decisions about our home. He was 20 mins early for the appointment and very friendly. He took his time and didn’t mind asking hundreds of questions. During our final walk through he was very detailed and showed me photographs / infrared imaging that he had taken.
~ Lauren J, Kaneohe (Source: Google+)
My experience with Signature Inspections was top notch! Scheduling was quick and painless.
The inspector, Trevor, was 15 mins early for the appointment and was very polite and friendly. He took his time and didn’t mind me tagging along and asking questions. He saved major explanations for his final walk through. During the final walk through he was very thorough and explained in detail everything he was going to have in his report and also showed me photographs he had taken. Trevor took extra time to explain his worry areas and his over all opinion of what he found. He had his full report emailed with an hour of completion, I was stunned!
This was hands down a better experience than I could have asked for.

Trevor helped with our home inspection last week and did an excellent job. He did a thorough walk through and did a great job explaining things to look for, both big and small. Trevor even went above and beyond and has helped us in the game planning of some of the renovations we plan on making before moving in. His experience as a contractor and relationships with local vendors has put my wife and I at ease. I would highly recommend Trevor to work as your property inspector.

This was the second time I’ve hired a home inspector and the first time I’ve worked with Signature Inspections. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience I had with Trevor at Signature Inspections Hawaii. He was professional, incredibly thorough, and fantastic at communicating his findings. I was impressed by the way he packaged the results of the inspection and was especially happy with his attention to detail. His extensive experience is obvious and I was really satisfied that we had the best glimpse in to our new home that we could have had. I’m really grateful our realtor recommended Trevor and I would highly recommend him to anyone else in need of a home inspector. I am blown away by how much more thorough and professional he was than my first experience with an inspector and will certainly use Trevor the next time we need this service. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and satisfaction with the results.

Trevor is the man! Came to do our home purchase inspection on 2 days notice, very thorough report with great recommendations for service contractors. Helped save us serious $$$ on purchase price reduction after his assessment. Super quick response via text, email, and phone. Would highly recommend to anyone!
~ Eric A, Honolulu (Source: Yelp)
My husband and I are making our first purchase (condo) and when our agent provided a list of inspectors – we googled them all. Signature Inspections Hawaii didn’t have as many reviews as other but their website provided great info (especially – Ask The Inspector). Once we learned that Trevor’s family had deep roots in the Marine Core – there was no question to book!
Trevor from Signature Inspections Hawaii did our condo inspection and was so helpful. He took his time and explained a lot to us “newbies” and turned around the full report in no time! So glad to have had Signature Inspections Hawaii as our property inspector!!
~ Mary F & GySgt, James F | Kaneohe (Source: Facebook)
If I could give Signature Inspection Hawaii 10 stars, I would.
After having a Home Inspector leave as they were not being able to “fully” complete a report; due to, the electricity and gas not being turned. FYI: We paid them over $400 and they would NOT come back out to complete the report.
We were in a bind and had to search for another inspector.
I wish I had chose Trevor initially. His prices were great and he was genuinely concerned about if we were taken care of, even to the point of stoping bye the following day to assist my dad in confirming the electrical panel was properly shut off.
Trevor was able to really help us as he took the time out of his schedule to help us finish our missing sections (electricity & gas) in our inspection. And it was for a very reasonable / incredible price.
He really made us feel confident in this purchase and helped explain things really well.
The customer service…. Is BEYOND amazing.
I recommend the services to anyone who is in need of an inspection. I know the process of being on a time limit to get it done can be pressing, but use it wisely. Make sure you feel 100% comfortable. Talk to Trevor or visit his website www.SignatureInspectionsHawaii.com to help you make a decision. You won’t be let down – guarantee !!

I will highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a home inspection, and look forward to using him if and when I purchase another new home.

As a Realtor I’ve worked with a lot of inspectors in the past 11 years. Signature Inspections Hawaii, is definitely one of the most professional and competent companies I’ve dealt with.
Scheduling the inspection is easy with a text message.
The inspection is very thorough. The inspector has to go through a standardized list of items to complete the inspection. Afterwards the inspector goes through each item on the list as they walk you through the property. They have a iPad on sight and will sent a pdf copy of the report along with photos. You usually get it within 4 hours or less.
Trevor is nationally certified, and fully insured. He also gives you his contact info in case you have questions down the line.
I’ve completed over 350 transactions and would not hesitate to work with Signature Inspections Hawai again and again.
~ Micheal D | Hawaii Kai, HI. (Source: Facebook)
Trevor was very professional in all aspects of my home inspection.
He was very polite yet thorough and pointed out things in my home that I should be aware of.
It was really nice to receive a detailed PDF document of the completed inspection the moment he finished it on site via email.
I would definitely recommend to a friend!
My wife and I highly recommend Signature Inspections. We decided to fly Trevor in from Oahu to do the inspection. (We live on the Big Island – Hawaii & he lives on the Island of Oahu) as no one here would return our phone calls, From start to finish Trever was veery detailed. He also allowed me to walk with him as he was explaining his finding as the inspection occurred. He not only answered my questions but took the time to listen and he also interacted with my wife. He is caring, attentive, detailed and highly professional. Plus, the report was immediately emailed to us via PDF format which I passed on to my realtor with in moments of the report being complete.
Excellent! From the first point of contact our finial handshake I felt truly cared for and left feeling at ease.
Pluses / Minus:
+ Communication – answering questions, interaction, and extensive list of high quality professional referrals
Example: Text when he was on way to property location and was early!
+ Appreciated his integrity. Aka: He did not have the answer for all my question but provided guidance so that I could attain answers to my questions.
Example: questions about insects and rodents. He provided me with a professional reference Derek Yoneoka (808) 371-1650 with over 15 years experience in the field.
++ His desire to not only go through each point explaining my report but we walked around the property – so grateful
++ Value that he used current technology (iPhone / iPad) and was able to deliver my inspection report in PDF format as we concluded our inspection
Minuses:
– the inspection took a little longer than I expected. In the end I don’t think that’s really a bad thing.
Bottom line: Highly Recommend for YOUR Home inspection!!!
