Dave was a pleasure to work with, he explained things clearly and let me know about industry standards and differences that may exist between new builds and older houses like the one he was inspecting for me (1994 build). He answered any question I had or let me know when I would need to consult a specialist (i.e. electrician) for further information. He made me feel confident in the assessment of the property, both the good that was already there and the things that needed attention. This is my first home purchase and I didn't know what to expect but I feel that Dave delivered great service and an easily consumable report that helped me understand how to prioritize any deficiencies. Thankfully there were no major deficiencies and I'm looking forward to making this my new home! Thank you for making this a great experience! ~ Angela S

Very thorough. I appreciate having the information given to me straight. ~ A. Towne

The inspector was clear and precise.  He took the time to show us everything in detail, hands on as well as through the book for which the scope allowed. It would be nice to find an inspector that actually tests for serious issues that would deter you from purchasing a home such as the presence of pollutants, moulds, soil contamination, radon etc. As the shortcomings of the inspection were due to what I believe is a low industry standard, I suppose I would continue to refer this inspector to others based on his level of service quality within the allowed scope.  Thank You. ~ B Haring

I personally wouldn't change anything about it, the inspection report is very well put together and laid out for future quick reference. ~ C. Coventry

Great patience and very knowledgeable and friendly. ~ L. Indoe

Dave spoke in layman's terms which made everything easy to understand.  He was knowledgeable and very personable.  Dave also didn't rush everything through.  He took his time to explain, and show his findings. Dave's personable way of showing, and explaining his findings, in conjunction with the report made it very easy for me to explain imperfections to my spouse who was not able to attend the inspection.  Dave was also open to any questions that popped up after we met.  Much appreciated Dave!  Kudos! ~ D.Hudak

David was a very good, easy going, easy to work with guy, I come from a trades background and I didn't feel like he was trying to bluff his way through the inspection like you hear about so commonly from other people and on the new disaster TV shows I would hire him again in an instant if I purchase another home. - J.

My expectations were exceeded. I learned alot from David. While I knew about the most major condition problem (shingles),he showed me all the smaller things that might have taken some time to find myself. So, I have a repair list to start with, but, it was well worth the cost. He eliminated most of the "surprises" you may run into after you move in...cabinet hinges, door seals, electrical mismanagement, mold, window locks, etc. - Gary Wolkowski
