New Jersey Certified Home Inspections

Purchasing a home can be a huge investment both financially and emotionally. As a first time home buyer, moving from NYC to New Jersey was a stressful but rewarding and educational experience. I can relate to the process you will go through and I will treat each inspection with careful consideration and your best interest in mind.

Kind Words From Our Happy Clients

Jaidy Gutierrez

			Hi, I had a great experience with this home inspection. The inspector was extremely thorough and took the time to carefully check all of the home’s major systems and components. I especially appreciated that he actually climbed onto the roof to inspect the condition of the roof and chimney rather than simply giving them a quick visual check from the ground.He was very straightforward and detailed when explaining his findings, including any potential issues that I should be aware of. Everything was explained clearly, and I never felt rushed or pressured. His thoroughness and attention to detail gave me a much better understanding of the property and helped me tremendously with my purchasing decision.I would highly recommend this inspector to anyone looking for a professional, honest, and thorough home inspection.		 - 9/21/2026

			We were extremely pleased with the inspection services Rob provided. He was thorough and knowledgeable and took the time to explain what he was looking at as he went though the house we are buying in great detail. The final report was thorough, well documented with photos and well written. He also communicated clearly and was available for follow-up questions. I very rarely write reviews, but this service was exceptional.		 - 8/23/2026

			We just bought our first home and Robert made the home inspection the easiest part of the whole process. He handled everything from the full inspection to the radon test and WDI inspection, and he was incredibly thorough across all of it. But what really stood out was how clearly and patiently he explained everything. As first-time homebuyers we had a hundred questions, and he answered every one without ever making us feel rushed.He went well beyond just inspecting the house. He walked us through how things actually work, from the heating system to the shutoffs and electrical panel, and gave us real, practical advice on how to take care of the house once we moved in. We left not just knowing the condition of the home, but genuinely understanding how to maintain it.If you're a first-time homebuyer looking for a home inspector. I can't recommend him enough.		 - 8/04/2026

			It was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end working with Robert on the home inspection of our new home in NJ. Robert was incredibly meticulous, and thoughtful in explaining things to me as we explored the home together. He was thorough and practical about how serious some issues were and how to easily resolve others. It was easy to schedule a time with him, he coordinated all third-party inspections for us, and we got back a detailed inspection report in less than 48 hours. I highly recommend Robert for any of your home inspection needs.		 - 7/24/2026

			Robert conducted our property inspection for the purchase of an existing 12-year old home in Maplewood, NJ. He was very thorough, very efficient, very clear, and he did a great job focusing our priorities for negotiation with the sellers. He arranged for our oil tank sweep and sewer scope too. His response time was excellent and his pricing was very fair. His on-line report is highly readable. We very highly recommend Stout Home Inspection's professional services.		 - 5/17/2026

			Stout Home Inspections was wonderful to work with! My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a home in Montclair, and worked with Robert for our inspection. Robert was so thorough in the inspection and very knowledgeable. Robert took time to explain and show us things around the house and put together a very detailed report with helpful links and reference images. Robert was very kind and easy to work with. We had a mix up with our inspection date which caused him to visit the property twice and spend hours waiting to complete the inspection - he was so understanding throughout the mix-up. We highly recommend Stout Home Inspections!		 - 1/10/2026

			Robert is the most excellent home inspector! A friend who is a real estate agent recommended him and he could not have been better. He was so incredibly thorough, meticulous and knowledgeable - he walked us through the entire inspection, informing us completely along the way, showing us how to operate systems if we had questions, and also gave us great advice about optional things we could do to improve the place. Robert is also extremely pleasant to work with. My husband and I were so pleased to have someone so excellent who we could trust. We highly recommend Robert!!		 - 11/06/2025

			Robert is friendly but professional. He takes his time during the inspection to point out and explain particular points he will write up later in a detailed report that you get to keep forever. He also knows a variety of appropriate professionals to bring in (for special inspections that are outside his scope) such as sewer, chimney, oil tank sweep, etc. He understands the intricacies of NJ housing inspections. Highly recommend.		 - 10/14/2025

			Robert was the absolute highlight of our home buying process!! He coordinated the other inspectors (who equally were great), was detailed and thorough in his inspection (found something that was previously missed in the last "sold" home inspection), and educated us as he went. We could not be happier with our choice of home inspector!		 - 10/04/2025

			Robert is an exceptionally knowledgable inspector. He thoroughly looked at every aspect of the house we were under contract to buy. I was very impressed with the things he noticed and brought to our attention. Most of all, I appreciated his patience and good humor as he showed me technical aspects of the house that will help me make sure I understand how the house works, despite my general lack of handiness. I have bought more than a few houses. This was the first inspection I enjoyed and that had everything to do with Robert.		 - 4/04/2025

			Working with Rob was a dream. He was even able to help us out last minute and made us feel like there wasn’t an inch of house we would be unsure about. He even let us walk around with him so he could explain certain aspects like our specific water heater and electrical panel possibilities. He also had a great team of people to call for the extra things like sewers and tanks. His report was really thorough and easy to understand as well. Also just a really nice guy.		 - 3/29/2025

			Robert was terrific. He's personable, attentive, and thorough. There's a lot of information being thrown at you during an inspection. He made it easy to understand and took the time to explain each step as he was going through the house. I felt confident that I was getting an accurate assessment of the home and that's very reassuring, especially as a first time home buyer. The report he sends you after the inspection is completed is going to be very useful for us upon moving in. I strongly recommend Stout Home Inspection.		 - 2/27/2025
