Carlo did a great and thorough job! He also answered my calls for additional questions after the work was done. Highly recommended!
- H.L., Lexington KY, April 2018
When we were looking for a home inspection company, we very lucky to have found Talon Home Inspections. Giancarlo (Carlo) was extremely attentive to accuracy and detail in inspecting the house we are looking to buy. When finished with inspecting the home he took his time to walked us through the house, showed us where the problem areas were and answered all of our questions the best he could. Not to mention he has followed up with us since the inspection to see how everything was going. We would definitely recommend Talon Home Inspections.
- P.K., Newport News VA, March 2018
Carlo is very thorough and professional. He looked at every inch of the house and pointed out not only what?s wrong but also provided ways of repairing it. He went above and beyond with his inspection. I will recommend him to everyone I know and will definitely use his services in the future.
- T.P., Lexington KY, March 2018
You are a TOP NOTCH inspector! We are so thankful that we selected you to conduct the home inspection on a property before we write a contract. You brought so many items to our attention that will significantly affect our offer price. One thing that we learned through this process was that we should have told you as much about the property as we could--two HVAC systems, information from the disclosure report, etc. You spent a great deal of time inspecting the home, and afterwards with us, providing follow up. It is clear you care about your work and customers. You are the home inspector that everyone should use.
- D.M., Fairfax VA, February 2018
Carlo was thorough and detailed in his inspection. The photos and examples in his report were all very helpful, and he spent about 90 minutes doing a full walkthrough of the house with me and my husband. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends or family in need of a home inspector!
- A.A., Lexington KY, February 2018
Mr. Barone was an absolute delight to work with. He took the time to explain everything in detail before and after the inspection. The repair and replace list was one of the easiest to put together to email to the sellers. Will definitely be using this company again in the future!
- B.C., Bradenton FL, December 2017
Carlo is the best! He was very professional. He took almost 5 hours to make sure he captures evrything. His report was excellent with lots of pictures videos and details. I would reccomend him to everyone and definitely use him again.
- C.C., Knoxville TN, December 2017
Carlo did an excellent job and it was a pleasure to work with him. I left positive reviews on Google, BBB, and Angie?s List. I would highly recommend him to others.
- D.H., Georgetown KY, November 2017

- M.M., Terre Haute IN, November 2017
I would highly recommend Carlo to anyone who needs a home inspection.

Carlo was timely, thorough, professional, and
gave a fair price. What else do you need?
- W.G., Redding CA, September 2017

I fully recommend this company and will use them again!
- J.B., Richmond KY, September 2017
Very thorough and well done. Gave me confidence in understanding the condition of the house and the needed repairs or trouble areas.
- C.M., August 2017
Carlo was the most thorough and professional inspectors I have ever had and we have bought and sold over 20 homes in our lives. The actual report and the handbook Carlo gave us were the most informative and helpful documents we have ever received. Also, his thoroughness enabled us to insure that we knew and accounted for all of the flaws in the home we bought.
- S.E., July 2017
Carlo did fantastic on our home inspection. He was very thorough in everything that he went over with us and we had a solid understanding of items that needed immediate action, and items that could be replaced/fixed down the line. All the information was put into a very readable format into the home inspection report which we can go back and look at to keep the house in top condition.
- K.C., Lexington KY, June 2017
Carlo was incredibly thorough. I really appreciated that he did not rush through showing us the issues he found. He took time to make sure that we understood the problems and what impact they could have.
- K.C., Lexington KY, June 2017
Carlo was very thorough, he went above and beyond while inspecting 2 different homes for us. He is very knowledgeable and does a great job at explaining everything once he has completed the inspection. He may cost a little more than other inspectors, but the piece of mind I have now makes it money well spent in my opinion. He also puts a lot of time and effort into the report as well. Ours included pictures everything that he inspected. He told us about the good and the bad, and also showed diagrams of how something should be if it was wrong. I highly recommend his services!
- D.D., Lexington KY, June 2017
My wife and I appreciated the attention to detail of the inspection and the suggestions to help maintain the home in order to keep it in good shape.
- S.M., Lexington KY, June 2017
He was very thorough and informative! I highly recommend him!
- D.D., Lexington KY, June 2017
Carlo was an outstanding help in our home-buying process. He was extremely thorough, talked us through the issues he found, and his research and work helped us to negotiate with the sellers of the home. I would recommend Carlo to anyone and everyone.
- M.S., Lexington KY, May 2017
Two years ago, I received very clear explanation and the report arrived the next day. For this time a very detailed and colorful report inspection arrived after seven hours only ! From best to most amazing!
- G.N., Lexington KY, April 2017
Carlo was absolutely fantastic! He was even more thorough then I could have ever imagined, and answered any and all questions that I had during our walk through. Would definitely recommend him to anyone, and he will have any and all of my business in the future!

- B.F., Lexington KY, February 2017
Carlo did a wonderful job inspecting a home for us last week. He did a thorough walk through with me. The home inspection report was very detailed, explaining the problems using photos and video. We will definitely use him again when we find another home. My realtor was so impressed that she said she will recommend Talon Home Inspections to everyone. Carlo was very professional and did a fantastic job. Thank you very much for doing a wonderful job. We appreciate it!! You saved us from making a costly mistake. The home inspection was perfection.
- K.M., Winchester KY, January 2017
Being out of state, I was unable to accompany Carlo during the inspection. He over compensated for this by providing additional photos in his report so I could view all potential issues. He gave us a verbal briefing immediately following his inspection and was available to answer all my follow-up questions via phone. His written report was thorough and informative. His knowledge of applicable codes is up to date. His ability to explain potential issues was superior, and he takes steps to identify what issues need to be addressed before occupancy. I have no hesitation recommending Carlo to those who need home inspection services.
- M.F., Merritt Island FL, January 2017
Carlo did an amazing job; from his introduction, follow-ups, and even Inspection booklet to help with regular maintenance and information for appliances. He spent several hours going over our new house and spent just as much time going over every crack of the house with detailed explanations during our walk-thru. I found Carlo using Google and I would recommend to everyone that Carlo is the best home inspector I've had. Thank you so much for your hard work Carlo!
- B.K., Lexington KY, December 2016
Very thorough, especially liked walk thru at the end and how you always tried to educate us. Liked heavy emphasis on safety.
- J.F., Lexington KY, December 2016
Mr Barone was extremely thorough on our inspection and caught this we would never have sen or noticed. He took time to go complexly over his findings and explain what needed to be done. Very friendly and wiling to answer any questions. Highly recommend this service. We will definitely use them again if ever needed.
- B.W., Dry Ridge KY, December 2016
He did an absolutely fantastic job with our home inspection. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
- J.K., Lexington KY, November 2016
Carlo was extremely friendly from first contact, through scheduling, the inspection of our new home, and follow-up. The inspection was incredibly thorough and detailed. We got an amazing written report on the findings along with photos and detailed descriptions, and even model numbers for things should they need repair or replacement in the future. He also took us through the house and took time to show us everything, and answer all of our questions. We met Carlo because he was the inspector for the buyer on a home we had recently sold. He was extremely friendly and professional then so we called him up to use him for our own inspection. We could not be happier the service provided by Talon Home Inspections.
- D.S., Lexington KY, November 2016
Very thorough, went above and beyond. Nice man. Very pleased with our service. Thank you!
- A.L., Sadieville KY, November 2016
Mr. Barone was punctual and had great communication leading up to the inspection. He walked me and my wife through the home room by room, pointing out what he had found and explained everything to us. He even called us later that night to talk about a minor detail he had forgot to mention to us during the walk through. The inspection report was awesome!!! it was a very detailed report outlining everything he had inspected. It including the actual pictures of the potential problems and suggested corrections to be made.
This is only my second home inspection, but I can say this one blew my last experience out of the water. I would highly recommend Talon to anyone.
- C.H., Bowling Green KY, October 2016
From the time I contacted Giancarlo Barone by phone to the final inspection report, I was impressed by his courteous and professional manner. Since the home to be inspected was in another state, I needed to feel that the inspection would be thorough and honestly done. Mr. Barone's professionalism and knowledge gave me that confidence. His inspection report was very detailed and the pictures included showed us exactly what his words described. He called us to personally go over the report and answered all questions we had. I cannot imagine a better home inspection experience. Thank you Mr. Barone!
- B.P., Glen Allen VA, October 2016
We are so impressed with your professionalism and thoroughness! Your report with pictures shows us exactly what you found and offers information to repair it. We also are able to understand what needs immediate attention and what is cosmetic and can wait. Your professional manner on the phone gave me the confidence to hire you from my out of state location. I cannot imagine a better home inspection experience. Thank you!
- B.P., Glen Allen VA, October 2016
I was very pleased with the inspection done by talon home inspections. Carlo was incredibly thorough in his inspection as well as his report. I will definitely suggest to all future home buyers I come in contact with to use talon home inspections.

- B.E., Lexington KY, August 2016
Carlo of Talon Home Inspection did a fantastic job with our inspection. He was thorough and helpful as he walked us through the house after the inspection. I especially appreciated the comprehensive report with pictures and explanations that were easy to understand. The inspection and report helped us greatly in deciding whether or not to purchase the property.
- M.J., Lexington KY, August 2016
Carlo was very friendy. He walked around the home with us and reviewed the problems he discovered.
He provided a very detailed written report with quality photographs.
His summary provided examples about how to resolve all issues.
His appearence was neat and clean as well as his vehicle. He was very professional. I would recommend his Service to my friends.
- G.P., Seymour IN, August 2016
Carlo's inspection was top notch and completely surpassed my expectations. He was incredibly thorough, detailed and professional, yet easy going and eager to answer any questions I had. The report itself was incredibly detailed, and again, surpassed my expectations. I would absolutely recommend Talon to anyone looking for a reputable home inspector, and would not hesitate to call upon his services in the future. I was very, very impressed with his work. Thanks again, Carlo!
- J.C., Lexington KY, August 2016
Carlo, you are a first class professional - you explained your process so I knew what to expect - you arrived right on time - you did "exactly" what you said you would do - you exceeded all of my expectations and in a house that is only 3 years old you highlighted issues that even the very meticulous current owner did not know. I greatly appreciate your service and your service was worth every penny. Thank you!
- P.E., Lexington KY, July 2016
Carlo Barone, we would like to thank you for your excellent quality of work. Checking in with us before the inspection definitely helped us know you were invested in the process. We really are impressed at the detailed inspection that we received on this property. The fact that you look at the property as if it were your own is perfect. We will be recommending your services to anyone who needs a quality inspection. Thank you for your curtesy and understanding with our son being present for the walk through. Good luck in your next venture in life.

Carlo is a pleasure to do business with. He is very knowledgeable in his field and gave great advice to this first time home buyer. Very flexible with scheduling and also very forthcoming with his assessments at the walk through even with the home owner present.

I would recommend Mr. Barone
(Talon Home Inspectors) and will use again if needed! I give him an A++++++
- T.P., Nicholasville KY, May 2016
Our experience with Carlo was outstanding. We had Carlo inspect a home we intended to purchase and we found his knowledge, experience and education to be extremely valuable. Carlo takes pride in his work and it shows in the thoroughness of his work and approach. Carlo's "walk thru" with us after he completed his inspection pointed out key areas of focus and helped us make the informed decision not to purchase the home.
We really appreciated Carlo and his strong business acumen and will definitely use him again when we find another home we want to purchase. We highly recommend Carlo.
- K.B., Verona WI, May 2016
Friendly and thorough. Excellent communication made buying a home from another state easier. Would recommend to anyone!
- M.G., Lake Wood CO, April 2016
Carlo was so professional and thorough! He was prompt and looked at all aspects of the home. He was personable and seemed extremely experienced. He was easy to work with to get an appointment and was there on time. I would highly recommend Carlo and Talon!
- M.M., Lexington KY, April 2016
Carlo is the best! He's everything you would want in a home inspector. He's punctual, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and impressively thorough. We've been part of several home inspections in the past, and Carlo way surpasses them all. He's an 11 on a scale to 10! We highly recommend!

- A.S., Orrville OH, April 2016
Carlo was extremely helpful in my house search! His knowledge and expertise enabled him to find hidden problems in the first house we had him look at. Thus I had no reservations whatsoever to have him inspect the house that we are currently buying! I would recommend Carlo to anyone to help give them piece of mind on their new or existing home. His reports are very detailed and include everything that you would want to know about your house, including problems with resolutions and maintenance issues. Great investment!
- J.W., Georgetown KY, April 2016
We had the best experience with our inspection. It would be great if every company and service we dealt with were even HALF as good. Thanks for the detailed, thoughtful, valuable advice and the documentation and conversation about it all. We couldn't be more pleased!
- B.G., Hattiesburg MS, April 2016
Carlo is very knowledgeable and detailed. He was very thorough in our home inspection and he found several issues that could have potentially cost us a ton of money! His report is extremely detailed and the walk through was beneficial to see things as he saw them. We have decided to use him for our next inspection.
- J.W., Georgetown KY, March 2016

- A.Y., Lexington KY, March 2016
Carlo was professional and knowledgable thru the entire process. He took the time to explain all issues and even provide solutions to fix all the problems witht the house.

I highly reccomend talon inspections.

Carlo,
You did great. Thanks for being thorough and taking the time to do the job right. If I ever need a house inspector in the Lexington area, I'll call you. And you can bet that I'll be recommending you to everyone.
- R.W., Mt Airy GA, February 2016
Great job. Thank you!!
- V.S., Lexington KY, February 2016
The question above this comment section asks how likely I am to recommend Giancarlo for an inspection and I must be honest a close friend of mine is also in the process of buying a home and I indeed did recommend him for the job. He was extremely thorough and detailed. I highly recommend Talon in the future.
- B.F., Lexington KY, February 2016
Wonderful job inspecting --saved me a lot of heartache. Thanks Carlo!

- W.R., Simpsonville KY, February 2016
Without a doubt, Carlo was the best inspector I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only did he provide a very thorough and extensive review of the house and any potential problems that needed to be reviewed or addressed, he also helped educate us on the ins and outs of our new home (an indispensable part of his service for homeowners with little maintenance and repair experience). I will only use Carlo moving forward, and I will recommend him to any of my friends, family or customers.

- K.B., Lexington KY, January 2016
We have used Giancarlo from Talon Home Inspections twice now and would highly recommend anyone who needs a home inspection to use him. He is the most thorough home inspector i have seen. If ever I need an inspector again he will here from me. Thank you Carlo for the great service.
- M.B., Lawrenceburg KY, January 2016
Not only excellent and very detailed report, but also teaches us a lot about the home components because of the methodology of reporting. We are very grateful!!!

- G.N., Lexington KY, December 2015
I was impressed with the amount of time that was spent. Many issues were brought to my attention that needed to be addressed and I was told the priority for each one. I also appreciated the professional manner with which the inspector conducted himself. I would recommend Talon Home Inspections, LLC to anyone in need of this service.
- D.O., Lexington KY, December 2015
Carlo was great in working with us on th purchase of our first home. My wife and I live in Kansas and are buying a home in Lexington. Carlo was very amendable to working with us and having my mother do the walk through with him.
His inspection was very thorough and informative. He offered opinions on what should be repaired and was very realistic in what we should expect from the builder of the home with regards to his findings. Carlo was also very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family alike.
- B.B., Hayes KS, November 2015
Carlo I totally appreciate the home inspection you did for me. You were so thorough, which is too my benefit because I know what's going on inside and out of the house I'm purchasing. The last thing a new home owner wants is unexpected repairs to make. I am in the process of fixing the issues you made suggestions about. I think you were awesome, not only explaining things during the walk thru but answering questions I had in plain English that I could understand. The report you did was so impressive, containing pictures and links to websites that may be of help. It was a pleasure working with you and I will refer you to anyone I think you can help.
- D.M., Lexington KY, November 2015
My wife and I are first-time home buyers and we were overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done before we purchased our home. We hired Talon Home Inspection because they had an outstanding track record as evident by other reviews on this website as well as others. Carlo was very friendly and empathetic to the fact that my wife and I had no idea what to look for in a home inspection. He was incredibly thorough and made sure we understood everything that he marked in the inspection. After the inspection we received a wonderful report including pictures of every thing (thankfully most of it was preventative and cosmetic) that needed to be done as well as links to supplies and suppliers to make these corrections. He went above and beyond the extra mile for us and really took a lot of the stress out of the whole pre-purchase period. I would highly recommend Talon Home Inspection to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Thank you Carlo!
- K.P., Lexington KY, October 2015
Thank you for the great home inspection. It was one of most thorough inspections i have seen. It brought to light some defects in the home we hadn't seen. I would highly recommend you to anyone getting a home inspection before they buy a house. Thank you again for your services.
- M.B., Lawrenceburg KY, September 2015
