He has a truly wonderful personality that instantly put me at ease. From the very beginning, he provided a clear and thorough introduction, explaining exactly what to expect and how he would conduct the inspection. He then walked me through each section, ensuring I understood everything.What truly set Michael apart were the invaluable tips he offered to prevent future issues. He provided practical advice on maintaining my home's safety and value for years to come. It was clear he wasn't just checking boxes, but genuinely cared about my investment. He was also incredibly prepared, even going the extra mile to provide me with specific measurements I needed for my vehicle. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a comprehensive and reassuring home inspection. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and truly exceptional! read less

As a first time home buyer I was overwhelmed and didn't know what to expect, but Mike really helped walk us through the process. He helped identify what was critically important in addition what was recommended maintenance. I let him do his thing floor by floor and he would summarize everything that needed attention between each one giving us the information in summary for each section and answering all of questions. He offered advice on how to prolong the life of appliances as well as expected life of everything and helped us understand the issues we otherwise would have completely overlooked. I would definitely use Mike for any future home inspections. His summary report was very well organized and will be very useful for our future needs. read less
