Dale Kiesman, of Wild Rose Property Inspection, answered my request right away while others could…read morenot when I called to do an inspection, ASAP. We made the appointment and coordinated with our Realtor, where Dale insisted on a face to face meeting and walk through of the whole inspection process. Something I wanted, and was so appreciative of with such a huge investment, of buying a home. This additional expense, turned out to be well worth the money, with the services Dale provided, above a beyond my expectations. Dale spent the time to go over every aspect of the home of our dreams; from electrical, plumbing, heating, roofing, and even all the appliances and fixtures. Dale answered every question as he and I went through the home together, with his in depth knowledge of the engineering involved with all the mechanical & structural aspects, in the home. Dale's friendly open personality made it easy to ask and receive intelligent answers. He showed every system I had a concern about. Even my questions about the inspection results that I would need in my final decision to purchase or to pass. His expertise helped me with his excellent informed walk through, testing, observations, integrated systems checks, and how they worked and how they should be maintained and how they had be maintained. All this information and hands on observation, helped me with one of the largest commitments to buy into a home of my own, after being a renter for years and years. As a senior with special mobility needs, Dale pointed out the best entrance for ease of access, through the hallway in the back entrance, because at the front, as I was thinking was closer he pointed out the wall in the hallway that would hinder easy of access with a walker or wheelchair. Dale even explained how a ramp access outside would work better, because of the slope ratio for a ramp to the rear deck. Dale was so personal & informative with insisting in a face to face, walk through of the home with him, that I felt he was truly invested in our dream home. Once completed, after four hours of inspecting everything inside and outside. On the roof and under the mobile home, around the yard from perimeter to yard and pad foundation, he commented that this was one of the best installations, he had inspected. When I got home Dale had sent an email to his Website, with a User name & password. It was such a surprise to find a copy of a 26 page Indexed - PDF report with specifics and pictures, I will be able to use this when purchasing a home insurance policy, and confirmation that the same report was sent to my Realtor to use as well. In addition to this document and new home owners links on his website, Dale had given me a 96 page booklet from the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CERTIFIED HOME INSPECTORS - "Now That You've Had A Home Inspection." The book guides a new home owner through the systems of a typical home, how it works, and how to maintain it. It teaches what to monitor and what to look for as the house ages. And explains the how your house works as a system of interdependent parts. Every part has an impact on the operation of many others. The booklet explains that the typical home has more than 10,000 parts, and what happens when all the parts work together in the most desired, optimal way. After reading through this book, I believe that I am more informed about the workings of my home ownership, and that I am more confident in maintaining my new purchase. Yes thank you Dale, for all this information. Armed with these tools we have made the decision to move forward to purchase this our forever home. Terry Collins

Their work and service was thorough, efficient and of the highest quality. The inspector, Chris, spent extra time with the first time home buyers to explain the "in's and out's" of a house and has always been available to answer any follow-up questions they may have. Subsequently, I used their services on a small inspection I needed for a basement issue I was having. Dan saved the day for me. Very quickly finding out what the real problem was and saving me a ton of time poking around in areas I have no expertise in. A great company with great people that I highly recommend.
