TESTIMONIALS

Matt was wonderful through the entire inspection process! Purchasing a home while living in another state is stressful, but working with Matt on the home inspection helped reduce that stress tremendously! He was extremely thorough, very responsive and timely in all communication, and talked us through the results, as well as what's customary for that region.

APRIL E.

There are two key people who are your best friends in the home buying process, your realtor and your home inspector. Matt was very thorough in the home inspection process. He made himself available for questions, was very concise about any issues he discovered and communicated in a way that made me feel comfortable as a first time home buyer. We will use Matt in the future, and will recommend his services to family, friends, and neighbors.
