Matt was wonderful to work with! He was so kind, considerate, and extremely thorough and helpful throughout the entire home inspection. He went above and beyond by taking the time to help my husband understand how most of the systems and features in the house work. His patience and expertise gave us a peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!Posted on Pam ChandlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about Keith Orr. He was a home inspecting beast. There was no crawlspace too small or roof too high for him! He checked everything and put together an excellent report. He showed me things and explained it well. I have a level of comfort now about the house. Great experience. Highly recommend.Posted on Phoebe HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
