Dan inspected a 100+ year old house we were under contract on, and he was so informative and helpful. He provided us with a very detailed inspection report and gave us a full picture overview of what we should be aware of if we decided to go through with the purchase. We did and we feel so much more comfortable in this house now that we know what we should monitor over time. Thanks!

Dan did an outstanding job during our new construction home inspection in Colorado. He was extremely thorough, detail-oriented, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. What I appreciated the most was that he did not rush through anything. He carefully inspected every area of the home, explained findings clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood both the major concerns and the smaller details that should still be addressed before closing. His report was very organized, easy to understand, and included detailed photos and explanations that helped us communicate repairs back to the builder. He identified several important issues that could have easily been overlooked, including electrical concerns, installation defects, drainage items, appliance issues, and finish quality problems. As first-time new construction buyers, having someone this thorough gave us a lot more confidence going into closing. I would absolutely recommend Dan to anyone purchasing a home, especially a new build where details matter.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Dan for the inspection of our new home, and we couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the onset, Dan was looking out for us. His attention to detail was second to none. Throughout the inspection, Dan demonstrated a deep understanding of all aspects of the property, identifying both strengths and potential future issues. Dan's expertise and customer-focused approach made our home inspection process stress-free and informative. His report was thorough, clear, and provided within a quick turnaround time, which was invaluable during our home buying process. We are incredibly grateful for his insights and highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspection.

I found out last minute that I needed to schedule an inspection within the next 2 days and Dan was able to fit it in to get it done on that short notice. He went over everything he caught in detail and we ended up getting a lot of items fixed that we wouldn't have aught ourselves otherwise. I highly recommend NextStep!

Recently had our home inspected by Dan and it was a great experience. He was very thorough and made sure to give us all the details we needed to make an informed decision on our home purchase. He was able to work with our tight schedule and made sure to follow up after we had time to go through the report to make sure we didn't have any unanswered questions. Would highly recommend!

Dan completed a home inspection for the purchase of my new home. He was beyond professional and thorough. The report he provided was very easy to understand and included videos and pictures of every aspect for further explanation. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness he delivered in his report and recap at the end of his inspection. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Dan and I would highly recommend his services!! Thank you Dan!

We used Next Step Inspections twice and had a great experience both times. Dan did our inspections and included radon testing and a sewer scope. He's incredibly thorough and detailed, and he really took the time to walk us through everything. He explained the systems in a way that actually made sense and made sure we understood what we were looking at. I felt a lot more confident going into the home buying process after working with him. Highly recommend.

After calling several inspection companies, I've decided to go with NextStep Inspections. Price is very competitive compared to other ones out there. I recommend asking the company how much they charge for each services, some will charge you just by them flying a drone to check the roof and this company includes it in the price. We bought a newly built house and Dan was very thorough with his inspection. He included even the very minor details in his report in which I like. There was even a dent on the garage door that we missed as it was so hard to see with your naked eye. Thanks to the clear photos he took, we were able to mention it to the contractor and they are now replacing the panel before we move in to our new house. I highly recommend Nextstep Inspections.

Dan at Next Step Inspections is highly professional and knowledgeable. The report you receive is very thorough and the photos do not lie. We had to back out of buying our house due to all the problems with the house - the seller was being unreasonable. I would recommend Dan to anyone who needs an inspection. In all of the properties that I have purchased over the years, this is the best inspection company I have encountered.

I received a referral from a neighbor about how good Dan was and they didn't steer me wrong. From the very start Dan was responsive and was more than willing to jump thru all the hoops Richmond American requires. We only had a few days to get an inspector in and Dan happily accommodated. He arrived early and spent nearly 3 hours doing his inspection. At the end he walked myself and my realtor around showing us everything he found. The report was sent me next day along with a follow up email/phone call. If you are looking for a quality inspector this is the company to call. Strongly recommend

Dan, owner of Next Step Inspections, immediately scheduled my home inspection even though it was in the middle of the holiday season. He spent several hours performing a thorough inspection of the home and then personally explained and showed me the important items from his notes. He submitted his detailed written report the next day, followed up to answer additional questions and provided me with a helpful moving service. Dan's professional experience and personal attention to detail allowed me to move forward with my new home purchase with complete confidence. I highly recommend using this company!

My husband and I are first time buyers and needed to get an inspection done within a week of going under contract. Dan was so great to work with — he did an incredibly thorough inspection and his report was very helpful and well organized. He was also so kind, communicative, and professional — highly recommend!

Amazing work by Dan. Very thorough inspection and genuinely cared about the house and my wife and I. He checked up on us constantly throughout all of the inspections that we needed to get done and offered to provide references to companies who can help with repairs. I would give him more stars if I could.

I found Dan through recommendations on Reddit. He was thorough, professional, and communicative. I have only worked with one home inspection company in the past, but it was a markedly different experience than working with Dan. I would confidently recommend his services again!

Dan Kennelly from Next Step Inspections is by far the most knowledgeable and proficient inspector that we have ever encountered. As multi-state investors, we have hired many investors in the past, whose expertise we rely on to make wise decisions. Dan's professionalism, competence, and observations are priceless!! We highly recommend Dan to provide you with your next home inspection. We could not be happier with the guidance he provided for us. Thank you, Dan!!

I have trusted Dan at Nextstep with home inspections on two different properties we were under contract to purchase. His thoroughness, attention to detail, and candid approach helped us avoid a house that would have likely cost us tens of thousands in repairs, not to mention countless nights of sleep lost. Our most recent inspection from Dan was (not surprisingly) conducted with great care, and has allowed us to feel confident in our purchase as a sound investment for years to come. I’m glad to have found an inspector we can rely on with Nextstep.
