"Thanks to Ken for a job well done. He's part of an elite group of people."

- Mike Glenn

"Thanks for your timely and thorough inspection. As a former realtor who has used home inspectors on a regular basis for over 10 years, your inspection and service was super." 

- Bill and Sharon Clark

"You were right about the mold in the bathroom. There was a significant leak under the tub and there was mold in both adjoining rooms, in the closet and floors and walls. They sent a mold removal team to clean it up. They removed the drywall and are taking the mold off the wood inside the walls. They said they will treat the carpets and cut the carpet pad away that had the mold. Can you imagine if we hadn't hired you and this was missed? THANKS AGAIN!!! YOU WERE WORTH EVERY PENNY!"

- Jennifer

"Wow, Ken and Becky, You have done an AWESOME job of putting my report together. To be honest, a few of my co-workers and friends kept telling me, Hiring a 3rd party inspector would be a waste of money but I have to tell you, they were dead wrong. There is no way I would have found some of these issues without your expert and professional assistance. I will definitely do what ever I can to tell my friends and family about you and the high quality of work and service you provided for me and my family. Please feel free to use me as a good reference but please only provide my cell phone number. Thanks again for everything!"

"Hi Ken, Thanks again for doing the inspection of our new house yesterday. You are by far the most thorough inspector we've ever hired. Dean T., the customer service rep who did the walkthrough, even commented that you did a good job with the report. Also, our realtor, Michele C. of Homesmart, asked for your name because she wanted to add you to her list of recommended inspectors."

- Paul Bundy

 

"Hello Ken, I just wanted to thank you again for doing the warranty inspection on our home. The things that were found were things that we never would have known to look for, so without your expertise in this area we would have been surprised with all the work that would have needed to be done when the time came to sell the home. As a new home buyer we naturally assumed that we would not need work on the home this soon after closing but were unfortunately proven wrong. I appreciate how flexible you were with the time and how you went through everything so thoroughly. We will definitely be referring you to family and friends and highly recommend the work that you have done. Thank you as well for the detailed report and for explaining everything to us so we could understand it."

- Seth and Emily Higgins
