Report
Ive ordered Antons services after we moved into the newly purchased home and noticed that the dryers exhaust vent was just thrown into the attic. Anton was able to promptly schedule an appointment and perform a thorough review of the house. He identified a few other issues that required immediate attention and other things that could be resolved later on. He also gave tips on how to maintain a furnace, humidifier, and AC which was very helpful since this is our first house. Overall he left the impression of a knowledgeable, meticulous professional that you would want to hire!

Anton did an outstanding job inspecting a commercial space for us. We are certainly satisfied with his professional service and comprehensive report for us to rely on. Anton has perfected every aspect of his work. He also sent us a link for an action list that our real estate agent could easily work on. Thank you! Our agent said he will choose Anton to inspect his clients' property from now on. Great testimonial for an excellent job!

Anton is super professional, and answered a lot of our questions. Folks should take a moment to view sample reports at Tru inspection website and you can see how comprehensive and detailed it is, yet easy to understand. Unlike others, he fit us at short notice and spent a full 3 hours inspecting our house which we felt was necessary to cover all aspects. Drone inspection of roof and thermal scans were awesome. Now we have his lifetime support incase we need to get back with more questions. Definite recommend!
