"Let my experience give you Complete Confidence and Peace-of-Mind with the large investment in buying your new home with my inspection services."
Thanks Alvin! He helped inspect my new 1988 house, and offered excellent service! He checked carefully, gave professional advice, and patiently explained the report point by point. I was so glad I met him. He made me feel safe to live in no matter what age or condition I bought. Highly recommended!
Home Inspector Al Miller was very diligent, thorough, and his work ethic and standards are impeccable! He was very prompt in returning phone calls, messages, and we received our report the same day. He even sent a follow up email to assure we could access our digital report on line. With his years of construction experience and attention to details and safety we would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a home inspection. Thank you from the Davis Family
"Alvin was very knowledgeable and detailed in his inspection. I felt confident in what he found to be issues that were communicated effectively and knew what he was talking about. I also felt confident in his experience as a custom home builder as well as his years of experience in inspecting homes. He was very pleasant to deal with."

Alvin Miller did a great job! He kept us up to date with email messages and a phone call the night before the inspection. He performed a meticulous inspection/walk through and emailed the documents the very same day. Highly recommended. Thank You!

Alvin was very courteous and personable. He was very methodical and clearly explained the issues. It was easy to see that his many years as a contractor was beneficial to the knowledge he shared. Alvin provided helpful insight and tips on how to repair and touch up minor issues, along with how to address the larger issues with your contractor. The inspection and full report was completed on the same day. We highly recommend Alvin for your home inspection.
I really enjoyed my experience Alvin. I came in thinking what the heck am I paying for and left glad I paid for it.

Alvin Miller is the real deal! His expertise, attention to detail and demeanor are exemplary and puts him front and center in the home inspection field. I truly appreciate his abilities and thoroughness in a process that can be somewhat intimidating to the average customer. Hawkeye Home Inspections is now my "friend in the field" and I will engage their services in the future for all my inspection needs. I also intend to recommend Hawkeye Home Inspections to any of my acquaintances for their home inspection needs. With Mr. Miller's help I feel I am truly confident to move forward with my home purchase. Thanks, Alvin!

Coming from me, that is saying a lot. You are a treasure! 🙂 We will be keeping in touch with you and giving you more business. We will even pay you for building advice if that is ok with you. We trust your opinion whole heartedly. You are a true professional. We truly appreciate you. We will be contacting you again soon. You are the genuine article. Sincerely,
Joyce, Amana

Everything was very through and clearly explained. I would hire this man to do the repairs or give directions to a contractor beginning the suggested repairs. Thank you for your fine work.

"Alvin has inspected a house that we are selling and now a house that we are buying. We couldn’t be happier in both instances. He is very thorough and specific. His reports were always very clear and returned to us quick. We will for sure suggest him to any friends and family that are needing this service! Thanks again Mr. Miller!"
