John is very good at his job and great with people! We chose to have a pre- inspection done on our…read morehome before selling it. He was able to get us in quickly, before our scheduled open house so buyers would be aware of any potential issues. Thanks to his recommendations we were able to fix a few of the issues before the sale. John even offered to help us with one of the small projects personally! He made us completely comfortable with the whole process, welcoming our questions, explaining what he was looking for and why. By our request, John even took the time to put together a summary report to give our potential buyers. Because of his thoroughness, the new buyers actually waved their inspection, and we're able to close quicker. Definitely worth having John do your inspection as we found his cost to be fair and he delivered exceptional value.

The installers didn't lay any protectors down on flooring, or any where did that matter. They needed to install pipes thru my sewing room and several other rooms: they did nothing to protect existing surfaces, nor did they bother to tell me (I was working in my home office during install, it would have been easy for me to come down and cover my stuff). I spent much more time after they left, cleaning after them , than I'd have spent covering my things in advance. Almost all contractors I've worked with address protecting existing surfaces in advance of job, so I didn't think I needed to ask about it.

I was panicked, far from home, and didn't know what to do, and as I was making Facebook posts about my missing boy I came across a post from SDS about being able to search for missing pets. I immediately texted their number for a quote and was responded within the hour. Codi was able to come out that very same night to search for Rilian and was successful. Communication with Codi was very fast and effective and when we did need to leave a voicemail he was very prompt in getting back to us. Codi provided us with photos of Rilian from his drone and also offers footage for you to review if you so choose. Not only did he help us find Rilian he was willing to take his time to catch him himself for us (and crawl under a deck!) as we couldn't physically be there. Codi also checked in with us a few days after to see how Rilian was doing. This owner really goes the extra mile and cares about his customers! Thanks again Codi!

I scheduled my appointment on the spot and booked it on my calendar. Casey showed up even before the inspection to do exterior review and take pictures. During the inspection he was very helpful showing things he found and took good pictures for the paperwork. As all home inspectors should do he educated me on the findings as they were found so I knew exactly what I was getting into because buying a home is no short term investment. I would recommend their services to anyone in SE Minnesota any day of the week. Also a positive note the inspection was priced very competitively to others in the area.
