From the time I called to inquire, everybody was very nice, professional and great to deal with - so nice to find these days! My inspector arrived on time, explained everything he was doing, and the results were back in my email within a few days! Highly recommend for that as well as home inspection as they inspected my home before I sold it. Thorough and honest. Thank you!! Serina Zink2024-11-18 Rob was extremely thorough.

My wife and I are buying our first home in Wilmington, which is 100 years old. I had major concerns and questions about the home and Shawn walked through the entire house with me to review every detail. He arrived at least 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment and was already getting started when I arrived (15 minutes early). I appreciated the transparency and thoroughness during our walk-through of the home. Shawn knows this stuff inside/out and gave us the peace of mind to proceed with our offer. Aside from his expertise, he's a great guy. It was a quick two hours and I learned a ton about the home in the process. Thanks again, Shawn! Kirk Vaughan2024-10-24 Scott Weyer2024-10-22
