customer testimonials

“I was thoroughly impressed with your work and attention to detail. If you ever need a reference, I will be glad to recommend your services.”

RSHome Buyer

“Many thanks to you! As always very thorough and friendly. It was so much appreciated it. If I hadn’t had you inspect for me, I wouldn’t have known probably about any of it. Also I appreciate your patience and knowledge by walking me through everything so that I understood what was going on. I will use you or recommend you to anyone I know that will need an honest inspection done. You have done this for me twice and hopefully this will be my last , but if not , I know who to call!”

Sonja B.Home Buyer

“Chuck was extremely knowledgeable and professional during the Inspection of a house we were interested in. He caught several issues that were hidden deep in the crawlspace that probably would never have been discovered until after we bought the house, but instead we were able to get them fixed BEFORE we moved in. Thank you so much for the peace of mind your expertise gives me now!”

RyanNewburgh, IN Resident

“Vicki, Give my thanks to Chuck for his willingness to explain everything to my son. Chuck is 1st rate. I can’t imagine anyone buying a house without your services. -Thanks again! ”

JohnHome Buyer

“Thank you for doing this inspection for me. I have seen this property several times and realize it is currently in a state of disrepair, making your job more difficult. That said it looks like you did a very thorough job and in an exceedingly timely manner, thank you very much.”

GerardHome Buyer

“We hired Chuck to inspect a home that we are purchasing. Chuck is incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the home from roof to HVAC to electrical to crawl space. He is incredibly thorough but still took the time to answer all questions that we had. His final report is very detailed yet easy to follow and understand. I would recommend Chuck to EVERYONE buying a home.”

KelliHome Buyer

“Thanks so much for your thorough inspection. We are working our way through all the issues you noted and I feel good about getting them taken care of. ”

JMHome Owner

“I can’t praise you enough for all you did during my home inspection weeks ago, and for making a 2nd trip out to the house to do the radon testing as we only had 48 hours till closing. And if that wasn’t enough, you personally called me minutes prior to the house closing to let me know the results were fine! That certainly helped take the stress off my shoulders.”
