Mike is highly knowledgeable and spends the time to help you understand everything in his inspection report. Even after his report is complete, Mike is still helping me track down contractors and is still answering my questions. Would highly recommend.

Mike was great. He was thorough and you can tell he really cares about his business and your home! He made us feel comfortable even with all the technical notes. Mike sent us detailed notes of what our house needed and also prioritize what should be done. I highly recommend him. It's like getting a great detailed manual to your home when you purchase it!

I just moved into my childhood home and needed a status report on where things stood. The place had been neglected for years, and I needed to know if it was safe to live in and where the repairs needed to happen. I also wanted a hard-copy print out of the report, that I could easily reference. Mike provided a thorough inspection, looking at all the major systems of my house. It turned out it wasn't as dilapidated as I thought! He was polite, respectful, knowledgable and thorough. He had suggestions for tradesmen and servicing companies when I asked, and they have been solid suggestions. The inspection

Mike just inspected our second home were purchasing and both times have been wonderful. He was so thorough throughout the inspection and explained every single thing in the house to us we would need to have replaced/repaired right away and then what could wait a bit. He also had the inspection report to us within a few hours and it was so detailed! I would 100% recommend his services to anyone.
