Report
Darin LeBlanc, the owner/operator of Spectrum Home Inspections, did the inspection of my home for the buyers. I was so impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and courtesy, that I hired his company to do the inspection of the home that I planned to purchase. He is very thorough in his inspections and he provides a very detailed inspection report, with photos and recommendations. You cannot do any better. I highly recommend that any buyers engage his services. It is money well spent, that you will never regret. He is very personable and he REALLY knows his stuff. If I ever decide to purchase
