I also love his website which gives recommendations for all types of tradesmen. We are not local to the area, so this was incredibly helpful. I would recommend Don to anyone that needs an inspection.

He does like to do his own thing and then report back to you, so we gave him his space when inspecting the house. He walked through the house with us room by room and area by area when he finished and then produced a complete report with photos. He seemed very thorough and knowledgeable and gave good advice - although he was quick to point out when things were beyond the scope of his expertise and the general inspection process (which is as to be expected with any home inspection). There were just a couple things that we pointed out when we were going through the house together and asked him about that he had yet to identify which eventually made it into the report, so we were glad we asked every question we could think of. We also paid the additional fee for a sewer scope and he provided us with a video of this service. We were thankful that we chose to do this and recommend that no one skip this important aspect of an inspection! Don also made sure to let us know that he was available to answer questions we had in the future and we really do feel as though we can call him up and ask him questions if we need to. Thanks, Don!

I would absolutely recommend Reid to anyone needing an inspection. This guy went above and beyond…read morethe call of duty. Actually, more like below and beyond! Let me explain: the seller is out of the country and hired a contractor to put a new deck on the house before selling. Apparently the contractor built the deck over the crawl space entrance, leaving no clear access to the space. This meant we would have to have the seller hire a new deck guy and then have the inspection be completed at a different date. This would have derailed our entire closing timeline. Instead of letting all that happen, without saying a word, Reid suited up and found a way to shimmy through the small opening to get under the house. And he found a bunch of issues that needed attention! Thank goodness he did that! I even tried to tip him for his efforts and he wouldn't accept. Class act, this guy! Not only was he completely thorough and went beyond the call of duty, he also sent us a 41 page report outlining everything in detail so we know what's going on with the house. He also sent a summary report highlighting what was in the longer report. Really fantastic! And if you're extra nice, maybe he will let you meet his brilliant dog. :)

Given the other reviews, maybe I just got Reid on an "off" day. The day of the inspection, I was…read morereally happy with his focus and the amount of information he provided me with, but I was very disappointed when I got the written report. There was plumbing under the house that had been cut out (bank owned and not secured so some plumbing and electrical were ripped out) but he didn't take any pictures of it, or even include it in the report. We requested he amend the report, and he did, but did not even apologize for not including this important issue in the first place. He told us that there was a likely leak or break in the water main but did not include it in the report. When asked to add it to the report, he did not. I get the feeling that he was speculating and did not want to document this?? If he felt it was important enough to tell us about it, it should go in the report as well. At the end of the inspection he told me I would not find anything substantial in the report that we did not discuss during the inspection. The report included multiple items (such as unsupported floor beams) that were not brought to my attention during the inspection. It was extremely important to have a thorough written report in order to request repairs from the bank. We had to request multiple revisions of the inspection report and in my opinion, that should not have happened.

He fit me in to his busy schedule on short notice and provided a large and detailed report that was very thorough in a short period of time. He went the extra mile to make sure he documented everything and was able to spot things that I would not expect most inspectors to find. An example of this was that he took the grills off of the wall heaters, did a deep inspection, and then when doing his report did research to see if the wall heaters had a recall on them. His pricing seems to be about on par for the industry and I will not hesitate to use him again.

The home was built in the 50's and had been renovated over the years. Barry was a pleasure to work with, he was on time and did such an excellent, thorough job inspecting the house inside, outside, underneath and on the roof. Then, he took the time to explain all the details of his findings and answered all our questions and concerns. We felt he had our best interests at heart. We received the written inspection with pictures attached quickly and were very pleased with the entire process. We would highly recommend XP Inspections without any hesitation to anyone needing help in assessing a property. One last thing, as we were about ready to leave we had one more question...Barry ran up to the room in question and gave us the answer right away. He was so professional and very knowledgeable about all the things associated with the property. We felt confident going forward in purchasing the house. Thank you Barry!
