Ken Newell, home inspector was efficient in the inspection of my home. He took the time to walk me through all deficiencies and helped me greatly on prioritizing which repairs needed immediate attention.

Without his expertise and advice on serious problem areas (my gas heater not venting to code) I could have injured myself or dog. I greatly appreciated his diligence and effort.
