Craig M. Russ…read moreMelville did a great job for us at a very critical time in our lives. He is the epitome of professionalism and knowledge. He totally understands air monitoring, plumbing, heating, ventilation and so much more. What impressed us more was his promptness and caring for our situation. He explained the situation and got right back to us with all test results. We were surprised at how inexpensive his services were! His follow-up was very reassuring, and we felt our situation was put into good hands. He directed us to the perfect company to remediate our problems, and kept in close contact all along the way. We would recommend him a hundred times over! Thanks, Russ

Russ went above and beyond what anyone could expect from an inspector. He took extra time to…read moreprovide additional information and explain things that he was not by any means required to do. You can definitely tell he has a heart for helping people and that he takes pride in what he does. I have recommended him to all of our friends who are also in the process of buying homes, and will continue to do so for a very long time! He also does a fantastic job scheduling things quickly and getting the inspection done fast, but he never is in a rush when he starts doing his process. Huge thank you to him!

Greg inspected our new home in August 2023 and I can't express how disappointed we are. He told me…read morenot to take notes because he included everything in his report. He did not--the report was short and omitted most of the useful maintenance notes I've relied on with past home purchases. He said the stove top was working. It's induction, which means it only works if you have a metal pan--he didn't have a pan! He suggested we change a furnace filter ... but omitted the detail that the filter was FOUR YEARS old. And didn't check the other two filters, which were 4 and 5 years old and mostly dust and mildew. The biggest problem he missed? A part in the furnace was cracked and leaking water, which meant the furnace is almost dead. My service tech caught that and we are buying a new furnace. If Greg had done his job, we would have asked the sellers to pay for it. They broke it by not replacing filters. He also didn't tell us the dishwasher and washing machine were almost dead. The water here is very hard (calcium) and the water softener he said was working fine was broken and turned off. The dishwasher and washing machine were full of the white residue from calcium. We already bought new appliances and are putting in a water softener system. Greg's poor quality report cost us thousands. Was he working for the seller or is he incompetent?

She did a great job inspecting the house (she is extremely detailed), and also walking us through explanations on every item that she found.

Prior to the inspection, I had a few questions and Jason called me and took his time addressing my concerns. I didn't feel rushed and he was very friendly and put me at ease. My husband and I were not able to attend the inspection, but I felt totally comfortable with that after speaking with him. Our realtor raved about him and she was absolutely right to rave. He did a very thorough job inspecting the house and he called us that night to discuss it, and even sent us the final report the same day, despite it being late in his time zone. When he called us to discuss it, he took his time explaining his findings and answering our questions. We did not feel rushed at all. He is very friendly and personable and easy to talk to. The report was quite detailed and contained a lot of photos which I appreciated. I felt that I had a much better understanding of the condition of the house and I feel confident proceeding with the purchase. Jason made a potentially stressful experience very easy and smooth. This will be our fourth house purchase and he has been the best inspector that we have worked with by far, please do not hesitate to use his service!

Jason came with impressive scientific equipment and determined that there were high mold levels COMING FROM OUTSIDE my apartment building.

As a physician with a degree in molecular biology I can tell you he has the right tools and talent in this field.

I recently had John inspect a property I'm renting that I have an opportunity to buy. Although I…read morefelt I knew the property well, John uncovered many issues that were critical in my ongoing discussions and decision making. He was really helpful from the initial phone call, explaining his services and approach also providing an example report for me to look at. On the day, he arrived promptly, was thorough in his investigations, respectful of my home, and then spent another 45 minutes just going through my questions and showing me specific areas of concern, explaining the exact nature of each one and it's severity. Follow-up has been excellent too. I highly recommend John for home inspection needs and would use him again for any future needs without hesitation.

We had him inspect…read morea home that we ultimately didn't purchase, and were so happy with his services that we immediately called him again for the new place. Joe takes his time, explains everything he is finding along the way, is incredibly through, and provides reports quickly. He is always open to questions or to go over reports to explain further. When I contacted him the second time and told him that we were pressed for time, he made sure he was available despite a busy schedule. Home buying can be such a brutal process and one is never sure who has your back or just wants a commission. We always felt as if Joe was looking after our interests. Incredibly pleasant and professional as well!

The inspection process itself was completely thorough; he looked at everything. During the inspection he was very responsive to questions and was not bothered to have to explain some things in less technical jargon when I didn't understand. The final inspection report was sent to us that same night and Ty even said he would come back to look at the roof if we wanted since it was covered in snow on the inspection day. He has been available to answer questions after the report as well and in a timely manner. I cannot say enough good things about Ty and the service he preformed.
