Jonathon has been very professional, prompt, and responsive. Upon calling to schedule an inspection, I was surprised that he answered the phone and dealt with me personally rather than taking a call back number or placing me on hold like other companies did. He scheduled our inspection for first thing next day. Awesome! I absolutely recommend Jonathon.

Thank you for your home inspection.

Jon is a pro. He is good at his job and very accommodating during his inspections.

He is very thorough, professional, and pleasant to work with.
- G.M., January 2022
Jon was very thorough; complete with a lot of pictures and/or videos to demonstrate the points he was making. When reviewing his findings at the property that was inspected, it seemed to be important to him to make sure that I could understand each point he was making by using language that made it easy to follow and allowed for any questions after it. I did appreciate that. I felt very well informed about all areas of the home that were inspected and also felt that I was then aware of issues he had found, no matter how minor it may have seemed. He also spoke with me about findings from the inspection that were not things I had even thought about.
The report given to me after that were very detailed and concise; again, complete with pictures to help demonstrate.
I would highly recommend Jon Kline to anyone!! You will feel that he has inspected all areas of a home and provided you with a complete list detailing his findings.
- L.T., January 2022
Jonathan was very thorough. He was able to explain everything he found and answered all of our questions. His website helped us to easily create a list of fixes to give to the seller. We were even able to email it from the website.
I would definitely recommend Jonathan.
- C.P., January 2022
I am very happy with the service I got from Jon. He was professional, prompt, and very thorough. I would say it was the best money I have ever spent. Jon did a great job inspecting a home I had just put an offer on. My offer was contingent on inspection. I had ten days to get the inspection. Called late on a Friday and had the inspection early the following Monday. He was in constant communication with me. Jon wrote a very thorough inspection report that was full of very detailed photos. I could not be happier. Made my decision on the property very easy. Like I said money well spent. Would highly recommend to anyone or use again in the future.
- D.B., October 2021
Jonathan was both extremely knowledgeable and thorough, as well as very personable and relatable. Since we ended up retracting our offer, we are still looking to buy and will definitely be using Jonathan for our next inspection.

As a retired realtor, Jonathan did the most thorough inspection I have ever seen. Unfortunately, we couldn’t proceed with the purchase because of the extensive corrections that needed to be made.
I had visions of the repairs that would have come up in the future due to the nature of the building construction. He saved us from buying a headache. Thank You, money well spent. He will be doing the next inspection as well, when we find another property. Melanie & Bob

Kline was extremely thorough. He uses the latest technology to complete your home inspection. He provided insight from the smallest of problems, to the most major of issues.

Additionally, his report was very well written and he provided me with names of firms to help me fix a few things on the punch list. Very pleased with Navigator and Jon.
Thanks.

Jon is very professional and knowledgeable about conducting house inspections. He was punctual and supported me following him around and asking questions. He made recommendations on what to do with items that were found. He would even take a second look at something if I thought it may be an issue. Jon did not gloss over any areas, he examined everything and had the right tools on hand to do so. The report was completed within the same day and was extremely thorough. In the end, we were able to make an educated decision as to whether we should continue with the purchase or not. Jon was a real asset and I recommend any buyer to utilize him.
- J.M., June 2020
Very thorough. Very detailed. Love the web based app... one of the most helpful inspections we have ever had.

Although we did not meet in person due to the COVID stay at home order and precautions, Jonathan was very fast and thorough. The inspection was scheduled immediately and the report was produced within 24 hours of the inspection.

- K.O., March 2020

- O.G., March 2020
Jon Kline is the best inspector we have ever encountered. Jon's report is amazingly thorough with photos clearly showing what he found along with reference material explaining the issue. My wife and I have purchased many homes over the years and because the home was fairly new, we felt that with our experience we probably did not need an inspection on this home. We are so glad we had the inspection. There were literally dozens of significant issues Jon found that we had completely missed. The modest inspection fee more than paid for itself many times over. We highly recommend Jon Kline.
- E.L., Brainerd MN, March 2020
Jon is very thorough in his inspections! Reading through his final reports, with the detailed descriptions and abundance of pictures, it feels like you are literally walking in the inspector's shoes! Cannot recommend him highly enough!!!! If you're buying a new home, he's your guy!!!

- A.W., October 2019
Jonathan was very thorough in his inspection. His report and explanation of things in the report was very thorough and well put together! Excellent job!
- S.H., October 2019
I am impressed with how well you inspected and reported on every area of the house.
The report is very easy to read and understand. The pictures attached to each item clearly showed what the issue is, as well as where it is.
Each issue has a notation to make it clear as to whether it is a safety issue, an informational point, or anything in between.
Your website is easy to access and download my reports.
Thank you again for your help in my homebuying process.
- H.H., September 2019
