She has extreme attention to detail and will identify even the smallest issue. And trust me, if you're paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for something, you want to be aware of every single issue there is going into the transaction. Christine is incredibly knowledgeable and will give you a very thorough walk through of the property right after the inspection. She's very good at helping to explain the issue in layman terms and will also help you assess whether a problem is negligible or relatively easy to fix vs. potentially very serious. Her reports contain detailed pictures and notes and will recommend any further actions needed, including which professionals you need to contact asap during the critical option period. I can't recommend her enough and am extremely thankful to have the opportunity to work with her!

My husband and I are first time home buyers and have had to learn about everything along the way…read more We used John Riddle for the second inspection after we canceled on the first house. The previous inspector, while nice (and recommend by our buyer's agent), would not allow my husband and I to be with him during the inspection. The previous inspector also charged us an extra $75 to assess for termites (I later found out an exterminator can do a termite eval for free). Total for the first guy = $440. We decided to not use the first person again and to find someone else. We wanted someone experienced and was ASHI certified (meaning he had to do a minimum of 250 paid inspections). My husband and I knew that the house was a fixer upper and needed someone who was very thorough to let us know what exactly we have in store for us. Next Step Home Inspections had a good website, and John readily answered our questions through e-mail. The website also mentioned that John had previous construction experience. He also had no problem with my husband and I being present during the inspection. He was very patient, and polite, and very thorough. He found multiple areas that needed to be addressed, and he even ranked the concerns when we asked (not a good sign about your house when the inspector asks if it's a HUD, right?). And although he had to do another inspection right afterwards, he still sent us a very detailed report within a few hours. Total cost for a similarly-sized house: $320. And no, he didn't try to upsell us with anything. 5 stars, all the way!

His reports are easy to read and very informative--complete with lots of pictures and diagrams of how things should work so you can compare it to what you have.

Would definitely recommend to anyone and will obviously use again.

While in escrow to purchase a new-construction tract home from Lennar, I got some very good advice…read morefrom two former long-time Lennar employees: Hire your own inspector. As with all tract home builders and their contractors, they want to get the job done as quickly as possible for the least amount of expense. This results in sub-standard quality, and requires careful inspection. Bryan with Hearthstone Professional Inspections was highly recommended by a trusted, local friend of mine. I live out of state and needed someone who knows local codes, builders, and contractors. I needed someone who I could rely on to be my advocate and scrutinize the details. Bryan has turned out to be eminently qualified in all areas. In his initial post-construction inspection he accumulated a punch list of over 40 important issues related to doors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, landscaping, and finish work. Normally Bryan likes to meet his customer in person after the inspection to go over it. Since I was out of state, he called me to go over his findings one-by-one. He provided context so I would understand his concern with each item, and what it would take to remedy it. Later that evening I received a detailed report with photos, detailed descriptions, and a summary section that I could provide the builder for repair. Normally Bryan would perform one follow-up inspection to ensure the builder had completely repaired each item to his standards. In our case, communication between the contractors, construction manager, and customer service reps was horrible and many of the items they said they'd repaired weren't even started. Bryan had to return three times before the builder had completed all the work to his satisfaction. These homes come with a warranty, but the builder is much less responsive after escrow is closed. I will be hiring Bryan to perform another inspection at the 11th month of my 1 year comprehensive warranty. I don't know what I would have done without Bryan. Makes me feel sad for gullible, young homebuyers who have no idea about the defects until it's too late. I give Bryan my highest recommendation. If you'd like to ask me in person, reach out to Bryan and he'll give you my number. If you require home or business inspection services, Bryan with Hearthstone Professional Inspections should be your guy!
