"At first and during the time of the inspections, everything seemed to go fine. However, during the sales process of our house the potential buyer cited potential ice dam damage on one of our ceilings and because the inspector who did our disclosure did not address this up front, we were forced to make concessions on the sale. On the house that we purchased there were several things that came up that should have been addressed during the sales process and should have been discovered by the inspector. For example, there were roof pails in the attic space that were not noted to us during his inspection and we only found them when we were looking to insulate during the winter. Our front steps had been roughly patched and now need to be replaced which will cost 1000's of dollars, once again because the inspector did not note this. Finally, there was a serious issue with the electrical to our garage that he did note, but did not give us a clear path of remediation during the sale and therefore we will have to cover as our own expense. Overall the inspection for the house that we purchased was very sloppy and did not provide us with the detail that one would expect in order to avoid costly repairs AFTER purchasing the house."

"We were starting to get nervous! We felt we weren't getting cooperation from our Realtor (who is also representing the seller), so we were really hoping for an advocate with our inspector. We plan to purchase the home as rental property, which is what it has been for several years. This is our first purchase of rental property. We contacted

on very short notice to do an inspection (2 days), and we feel very lucky to have gotten him. We had trouble getting the agent to turn the water on, but discovered why when we saw the property a second time. There were no water pipes, they'd been stolen!

was knowledgeable enough to discuss what this meant for us and the costs. Our adventure reviewing the remainder of the home, and all it's issues, was the same. He talked about the issues with us and gave us thoughtful, pragmatic advice. We felt he was very thorough and not at all rushed.

was a contractor before his work as an inspector and it shows. We went into this fearful of the 'what if's' and feel very confident in how we will decide our next move.

, truly, thank you for your work!!"

found several items that needed to be immediately addressed including roof problems. He took the time to explain everything to me. He also made himself available to answer any questions by phone after the inspection was complete. This is the second time I've used

for home inspections in the past year and I'm very satisfied."

"I sent an e-mail requesting a home inspection late one night and woke early the next morning to an immediate response. I then called

(the inspector) to set up the appointment.

arrived early for our 9AM appointment (following his 2 hour drive to the house) and was ready to get right down to it. He was professional, knowledgeable and quite a guy. As I don't live in the area and had nothing else to do, I shadowed him most of the 7.5 hours he was there. I can't imagine how anyone could be more thorough. He was very candid about what things were issues and identified priorities as to what needed addressed immediately or later, and even suggested what types of corrections were appropriate. Despite the lengthy inspection and his upcoming 2 hour drive home, he seemed genuinely interested in answering all of our questions and in no hurry to get going. He still managed to e-mail our report to us that night (late, of course) and did an excellent job of documenting, both in words and pictures, all the issues we'd discussed (and a few small ones we hadn't discussed). I couldn't believe the wealth of information we received for the cost! This inspection/education would have been worth it at twice the price!"

"They're very professional and I would say very thorough. Not only do they provide the inspection services and an extensive report, they also tell you how to address issues they've found with the properties."

"I was initially shocked at the much higher price - they had significantly raised them from a couple of years ago (doubled!). However, we really needed to get more info about what could be done to improve our heating and cooling in our upstairs of our house - dramatically differing in temperature from our main level. My interactions with

were great, and the work done was quick, and the report *extremely* helpful, thorough, and professional. It really helped us figure out what to do about our temperature issues. The report also included a list of contractors who would be able to do what we needed - very helpful because the kind of air conditioner/heater we needed is only installed by a few companies that I could find. Unfortunately for us, solving the problem well ended up costing us quite a bit - but it made me feel a lot better about the fact that we spent the money on the energy audit so we would know what would truly solve the problems."

was amazingly thorough, going over every aspect of the duplex I was looking to buy. He was honest and told me exactly what needed attention and what didn't, and offered solutions to issues with the house. He was also very willing to answer all the questions that were thrown at him. The report he generated came in a very professional binder that also contained a list of contractors he recommended for a variety of services - I thought that was immensely helpful!"

"Called to set up appointment based on excellent ratings, expected to wait an extraordinarily long time and was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Arrived at home at scheduled time to find

already doing preliminary inspection of home. He was very friendly and professional and willing to answer all of our many questions from the beginning of the inspection through the end. He was very thorough and took safety very seriously, not only explaining the issues to us, but informing the homeowners of said safety issues found, immediately after the inspection, and gave them resources to fix the issues promptly and correctly. He followed up the inspection with phone calls with resources we requested, as well as sent pictures of the inspection, a written report which included ways to fix/remedy issues found in the home that weren't unreasonably expensive or difficult, and reminded us that he is available for any questions or concerns we may have in the future. He made what could have been a very difficult experience actually quite enjoyable."

"His attention to detail was amazing and noticed that our water heater installation was probably not correct. Because of this insight, we were able to address it right away instead of being surprised later. He also noticed several outstanding inspection permits. We were selling our house and all this was very helpful to ensure we could get all these things cleared up to ensure a smooth sale. His friendly attitude and prompt service was greatly appreciated."

"He was professional. He was prompt. He was very educational to us. He was very safety conscious. He focused on safety and education. He will consult with us for one year after purchasing the home."
