Kind Words From Our Happy Clients

					We recently had a home inspected that we were considering for purchase. Our real estate agent highly recommended Chris. Chris was available on the day that we needed him and he arrived promptly. He was super thorough and took tons of pictures for documentation. He encouraged us to observe his inspection and ask questions, and was super friendly and approachable. We received the detailed report the next day, which included photos and descriptions of any problems. Chris’s inspection was very helpful in identifying both major and minor issues that we may not have noticed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his inspection services again.

					On time, friendly, and professional. Being a first time home buyer going through a home inspection was very daunting. Chris made the process very easy and took the time to explain what he was looking at / looking for and why it was important. He also gave us tips on what type of professional to contact to have things checked out that were areas of concern
