Client Testimonials

Wed. 11/25/2009
Chris, Everything has gone well. The inspection uncovered some serious concerns, such as the hidden exposed wiring and specific roof issues, that we were able to have addressed.
Was the report easy to read and understand? Too much, too little information?
 We were happy with the detail provided. The diagrams helped us to understand the problems significantly.
Do you feel I covered everything you were specifically concerned with and clearly explaining all defects with enough detail?
Yes.
Overall were you completely satisfied with the inspection, my ability, and the final report?
Indeed, we are completely satisfied.
If you have any questions or comments regarding anything you feel I did right, or wrong, please feel free to comment and let me know.
 Again, we felt it was quite thorough, and saved us time and headaches by allowing us to present serious problems before closing and before the occupancy inspection.
Would you hire me again and/or refer my service to your friends or family?
 Absolutely.

Thanks again.

 I was so happy with Chris as a home inspector that I volunteered to write this testimonial.  Chris is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his examination of a home.  I had him inspect a house that had been inspected months previously, and he found several important issues that had been missed in the earlier report.  He was alsovery willing to explain exactly what was wrong and its implications.  Chris was prompt, courteous and accommodating with scheduling.  His write-up was very thorough with great pictures.  I can't think of anything else I would ask for from an inspector.  I would recommend him without reservation to anyone who is in the process of buying a house.

Sincerely,
James Humphrey

I'm sorry for the delay in my reply; I've had trouble with my computer at home and really only get to read email at work. Thank you Christopher for the thorough inspection and for letting me make a nuciance of myself!  I closed on the house on November 25'th and hope to be settled in time to decorate for Christmas. Two city inspectors came out to check the main beam in the basement.  One didn't say too much about it, but the other inspector said it looked undersized to him. I'm planning on getting some estimates as well as reading as much as I can about this sort of thing.  We'll see how it goes. Thanks again!  If anyone I know needs a home inspection I'll be sure to send them your way. 'Jill

Thanks for the follow-up Chris, sorry to get back with you so late. If you remember we had to go out of town next day. No problems with the report. We were able to get the builder to fix some things. When I need you again I’ll be sure to contact you.     Sincerely, Heath **akstis

Thank you for doing the inspection on Logan . It was very thorough and informative. It really opened my eyes as to the condition of the property.  I will make sure the next time I need an inspection that I will call you.  Mary Elvarez

Hi Christopher--Gary and I just returned from our vacation and received your telephone call.  Thanks for your followup call  Your report was very helpful to us in our decision-making and we're glad we chose you as our inspector. You did a thorough job.  We'll make sure to send you the feedback in writing on the form you gave us.  (We've just been a little busy lately. Again Christopher, we appreciate all you did for us in helping us with this big decision.  I wish every inspector took the time to educate his clients like you did with us.  If I know of anyone needing an inspector, I'll certainly highly recommend you. Thanks!!!!!!!! Angela and Gary
