John was extremely helpful in walking me through my inspection when purchasing my first home. He made sure to work with my schedule, even staying at the home after completing the inspection to wait for me to get off work, so I could meet him and go over the results together. He explained every finding in detail. I received my inspection report the same day, it was in my inbox before I even got home! The website also allows you to easily create a list of requests for the seller based off the inspection report, which was a super helpful feature. I highly recommend John Ryder for your inspection needs!

I can?t say enough great things about John and the care he gives to my clients. As a Realtor, having a home inspector I trust is essential, and John consistently goes above and beyond. He has helped many of my clients, from VA buyers to first-time homeowners and single parents. In one case, he even returned to re-inspect repairs and took the time to thoroughly explain everything, helping a nervous single mom feel completely confident and at ease. Most recently, he inspected a home for a family preparing to move their elderly parent in. He was patient, detailed, and made sure they understood everything. They told me they knew right away they wanted to work with him because of his professionalism and the way he communicates. John?s knowledge, integrity, and genuine care are why I continue to refer him. He truly puts my clients first, and I highly recommend him.

This is my family’s first home purchase. John made this step of the process super easy for us. He is very knowledgeable and does amazing work. The turn around time for the report is super fast. I would recommend John for any first time home buyer, or anyone buying a home in general.

John exceeded my expectations from the very start. When he learned I was a first-time home buyer, he went out of his way to arrive two hours early for our appointment. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain how everything worked, much like a trusted mentor.
His inspection was meticulous, and he provided a professional, detailed report the very same day. The reporting system he uses is efficient and made it simple to share findings with the seller. I highly recommend John's services and wouldn't think twice about recommending him to friends and family.

John Ryder is a very thorough inspector. He made sure to note every flaw and item that my client needed to know about, plus a few he felt would be helpful for my client to know about that didn't necessarily affect the sale, but were helpful to know. My client was very happy with the knowledge John possessed and the way he communicated everything. My client is a new home buyer, so he had quite a few questions and John was very patient and treated every question like it was a great one and answered each one with great care. My client and I both truly appreciated that.
I highly recommend Mr. Ryder to anyone needing a residential (or commerical) inspection!

John is an outstanding inspector! He is thorough, professional, and incredibly informative. He consistently does a fantastic job for my clients. One of the things I appreciate most is his calm, clear communication?he explains everything without causing panic, which is reassuring for both buyers and agents. John highlights the important issues and offers practical suggestions on how they can be addressed. He?s a true asset to any transaction!
