• This has been passed down to the next generation, and our company is family oriented.
• We treat each client like a family member and friend, as well as a valued customer.
• Our experience covers all types and ages of homes, from older historic structures to new construction and homes built to spec. We also have inspection experience with small commercial properties.
• We are expected to provide information and knowledge along with an accurate inspection report which is unbiased, and our clients place incredible trust in our services. This is a trust that we hold highly.

Inspection Related Services We Can Provide

We provide a number of related services in addition to a professional home inspection. These additional services can be arranged along with a home inspection or as an individual option, and can include:

The digital photos incorporated within our reports make it easy for a client, who may not be able to be present during the inspection, to make the decisions necessary to purchase the home of their dreams. The knowledge we provide our clients about the property they are purchasing allows them to be at ease when making the decision on whether or not this is the home for them.

One comment from a past customer is below:

Hi Ed;

This is to let you know how pleased I was with your report. You are a very careful and thorough man. The report was quite comprehensive. We requested a reduction in purchase price based on a number of the more significant items you found. They opted to refuse a price reduction and so we walked away. I would estimate that your report saved me between $16,000 and $18,000 in immediate repair bills if we had bought that house.

Rest assured that I will be calling you to inspect the next house we put an offer in on and if anyone asks you for a reference, feel free to give them my name and contact information.
