When my realtor handed me several business cards for home inspectors, I was unsure how to proceed. Robert's card showed him evaluating a very elaborate system and I was unsure if he would have time to inspect my modest sized potential home. From the first phone call, he was very professional. He was flexible with his schedule. He arrived on time, fully prepared, and did an exceptionally thorough job. As in other inspection review comments listed below, he took the time to explain the systems of the home and how to save money on heating and cooling bills, should I purchase it. He shared both his thoughts on the attributes of the home, as well as identified multiple concerns with the home, that will ultimately be costly to fix. No detail was too small. His report was extremely well written and informative. As promised, he was responsive to my questions after the inspection. I have no doubt I can rely on his complete honesty and trust his judgement, anytime I should need it. His knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, communication skills, and personable demeanor are simply outstanding. I would highly recommend Robert of Trebor Home Inspections and I will be doing so for years to come. Angie, Palmyra Va read more

If you are buying a home, you want Robert to do the inspection. His knowledge is superlative in all facets of home construction and the prevailing local codes. You can rest assured that when he is done you will know a lot about your potential new home, its good points and the not so good issues that need to be addressed. He turns around the report in record time (later the evening of the inspection) and it is clear and complete.

I learned a lot about my homes construction, mechanical operation and things a buyer needs to address once you take possession. Thank you Robert! read more

We were incredibly appreciative of Robert's expertise and thoughtfulness during our home inspection. We bought an older home, and having never bought a home more than 5 years old, we needed a lot of guidance.

We are still using it to guide us through all of our home improvement projects and know that we can call on him in the future if we have any questions. We hope to not be buying another home any time in the near future, but if we did, we would hire Robert again without hesitation, and will certainly be recommending him to friends and family! read more
