Reviewed on May 6, 2026Tony Warfireld was prompt, thorough, and very systematic in his inspection, educating me as he went through the house. True professional in every sense . I do not hesitate to recommend him highly and would request him if I had another inspection to do. JR Thomas

Reviewed on May 5, 2026Working with Charles for my home inspection was such a great experience. He was honestly amazing—so patient and clearly knew his stuff. I really appreciated how he took the time to answer every single one of my questions and looked at everything I pointed out without rushing me. He was truly honest with his feedback and paid attention to all the little details. Buying a house is such a big deal, so having that super detailed report at the end meant a lot. Thank you, Charles, for being so helpful and for being someone I could really trust throughout this process!

Reviewed on May 4, 2026Chuck was ABSOLUTELY hands down the best. I had a lot of fear and skeptic regarding this process and whether they were really going to provide me with a thorough inspection. It took hours and when I say he looked at EVERY nook at cranny, it was impressive. It probably would have been a lot shorter if I had not kept stopping him and asking so many questions, but he stopped every time and answered with a smile~ he was SO through, informative but really kind but is customer service skills is what stood out the mood. Not once did he get frustrated with me. Thank you so much Chuck!!!
