Inspector Rob was extremely thorough during his inspection. Rob took pictures of everything and explained everything he saw to me while we were inside the home. He was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the process. Any questions I had, he was able to answer them and give me a suggestion on what I should or shouldn’t do. Rob’s report was extremely detailed as well and I’m glad I have it as a tool moving forward once I close on the house. I’m very thankful Rob was able to complete my inspection especially with only a days notice he was able to fit me into his schedule. I highly recommend Rob for your next home inspection.
