"It was a pleasure meeting and working with Leon during our home inspection. He was super respectful and very knowledgeable. His work was very thorough and timely. Would highly recommend!! Mahalo Leon."

"I was referred by a local real estate agent to use Kina'ole Home inspections and let me tell you, he was great! There were no issues in making the appointment emailed the invoice in a timely manner. For our single family home, he scheduled the inspection at 10:30am and set the review at 2:30pm. Leon was sincere and professional and was very thorough when going over everything. Thankfully we had no major issues for our home but we really appreciated him pointing out things that we should keep an eye on in the future. He really helps breakdown his findings and makes it very easy to understand. Later in the day we received the full PDF report which goes into the nitty gritty details, complete with photos. I HIGHLY recommend using Leon for your home inspection, you will not regret it."

"As we pulled up to the home inspection, Leon greeted our family and oriented us to the process. As we walked through the house he clearly explained his assessment, best practices, and industry standards that made us feel extremely informed about our future home. His report was thorough, and we felt that he really went the extra mile to point out areas we should know about, good and bad. Leon gave us peace of mind, and really made us feel at home on the island. He was generous, warm and really knew his field. We highly recommend using him as your home inspector."

"Buying a home on the Big Island sight unseen during Covid has been a bit nerve wracking. The realtor only shows you what they want you to see; understandably, their job is to sell houses. After a couple of video ‘tours’ we still did not have a complete picture of the condition of the home. With the clock ticking on the window for inspection, Leon was able to fit us in to his schedule the next day. He started the inspection by asking us if we had any special concerns; he then took us on a preliminary video tour focused on those specifics. He poked at deck boards, walls, and joists, showed us dangling wires, plumbing, and some less attractive parts of the lawn and garage. When we had finished, we logged off so that he could finish his detailed inspection. He worked late into 2 evenings inspecting every floor joist, post, beam, plumbing fixture, appliance, fan, light switch, outlet, etc. He provided a video update during the process. At the end of the the first day, Leon sent a draft report, and asked if we had any concerns so far. The second evening he finished the inspection and sent the final report. We reviewed the report and then had another video chat and close out, focusing on areas of our concern and areas of his concern. He was upfront about the overall condition of the house, including the ‘big picture’ as well as many details. As a result, we have contacted contractors and will have solid repair estimate in hand. As a result of Leon’s work, we now know exactly what we’re getting into, and can factor that into our final purchasing decision. I highly recommend Leon, especially if you’re In the same position of buying a home without being on island."

"Leon just completed the inspection on a home purchase for us. Having had several other inspectors in the past I had started believing that the inspector business was a hoax... they always found some excuse to not look in attics, on the roof and excuse to not inspect this or that... LEON WAS AWESOME! His report and explanations were detailed, he found issues that needed addressing and had our best interest in mind. He did not simply mark boxes, he explained and showed us his findings. We had the report immediately and promptly responded to any questions that we had afterwards. We are considering having him do an inspection on our current home when it is time to list. I can 200% recommend Kina'ole Home Inspection Services!"
