We worked with Gerald twice during our home search, and I think that says it all. The first house he inspected ended up having a lot more issues than we realized, and because of his inspection, we decided to walk away. When we found another house, we didn’t even consider calling anyone else.
Gerald is thorough, takes his time, and is happy to answer questions along the way. He explains things in a way that’s easy to understand, and his reports are clear, full of photos, and come back quickly.

Gerald and Deanna were friendly, worked around my schedule and overall fantastic. I've had a couple of home inspections and this was certainly the most enjoyable and informative.

Having them work together made the experience very efficient and they worked within my budget to fill my needs. I will definitely be calling them again the future and referring them to anyone in need. Thank you!
