Posted on Google Derek BurnsJune 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a manufactured home and wanted to have it verified and inspected before moving in and taking ownership of it. I did my research on inspectors and discovered that in Georgia, the requirements of becoming an inspector are virtually zero. Google "how to become a home inspector in georgia" and you will learn that getting training is not mandated, taking an exam is optional, and really the only thing that an inspector "should do" is get insurance. So right off the bat, that more or less wiped out 95% of the inspectors in South GA and so I decided to find someone who was licensed in FL since FL does not play around and they require 120 hours of training plus passing a state exam, and a full background search. Upon doing that, I discovered David and Next Step Inspections. He came out and performed the inspection and not only did he go more in-depth with his inspection than I was expecting, but he found things that would have cost me thousands and thousands of dollars later when they reared their ugly head in the form of mold and settling and a few other issues. I cannot express how happy I am that I found David and not only was his rate extremely affordable but the amount of money and aggravation he saved me was something I cant even quantify. If you want the short version: David holds a FL inspectors license which is what you want since the GA one comes in a Cracker Jack box. He also will go above and beyond and save you far more than the small amount he costs. This is the guy you want to hire.Posted on Google Olivia BartleyJune 19, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave was very thorough with my home inspection.

Dave was very straight forward with pricing and did a very thorough inspection. From larger repairs to the smallest, everything was discussed and broken down to ensure I knew any problem that was found during the inspection. They even reached out a month later to assist with any renovations or repairs were needed by local contractors in the area. HIGHLY recommend.Posted on Google Michelle PetersonMay 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave with next step Inspections was there when I needed him! If you ever are in the process of buying a mobile home please throw out his name!! Weather you are buyer or seller. He will get your engineer report to you in a hurry? He has over exceeded expectations! Dave does many types of inspections including well so make sure to ask him about that too!!Posted on Google Elizabeth DelkMay 15, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave was amazing! We had a hiccup with the first inspection, (through a different company) it failed for something very minor and it took them 7 or 8 days to get us the report so that put us in a very tight spot due to our signing being next week. I definitely don't have another week or so to wait on them so I called Next Step Inspections and they saved the day! Within 24 hours from when he was contacted about doing the inspection, it was completed and I had my report back! You really can't ask for better service!! I would definitely RECOMMEND!!Posted on Google Savannah DelkMay 15, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used a prior company that had a 7 day turn around, but Dave was able to get us in on a crunch and it in less than 24 hours to get reports back. He really is the best! I would hands down recommend him above any other.Posted on Google jcdMay 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome service and quick responses. Don’t build or purchase a house without Next Step Inspections. This was the best investment I have ever made. I would have never known the deficiencies in a home I was building.
