I just closed on the place we had Erich do an inspection on and am so grateful we had him. scheduling was easy and he was prompt.

Erich with Brick by Brick really goes above and beyond for his clients and I would highly recommend him. First of all he was very busy the week I needed my inspection however was still able to accommodate me- this may seem like a red flag because it may make him in a rush but it was just the opposite, he was extremely thorough in his inspection and brought so many little and big issues up- also his written inspection was extremely detailed and full of pictures he took while inspecting so it was very helpful to review. Lastly, he happened to be driving by the property a few days later when it was raining and called me to note some water pooling on the property and even stopped and took pictures to send me- this really made me aware that he cared about me not just as a client but as a person because that was well out of his responsibility to me after the inspection. I could not recommend him more. read more

I am a single person who knows nothing about home improvement who needed to work with someone knowledgeable, patient and thorough. Erich was exceptional in these areas and really took the time to explain to me what he was doing during the inspection as well as promptly answer any follow-up questions from the report. Even a month after the inspection he was at my condo within fifteen minutes after I frantically called him about flooding my kitchen, which was my own fault.
