" Thanks again for all your help, and for getting the inspection done so quickly. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome, and really liked your format of a detailed verbal report, rather than only providing a written report.

" You really showed us a completely different concept of of home inspection. It was the first time we have got that much detailed information from a professional point of view.

We would like to thank you again, and it was our pleasure to meet you."
