Barry is the inspector to use if you want to work with someone with a lot of experience who has seen a lot, knows what to look for, and will take you with him and discuss what he sees as he walks the property and makes a thorough inspection. I received a very professional written report the same day, a report which needs no further explanation and can be handed off to the trades as needed for evaluations, estimates, and repairs. I learned what I was buying before I bought it. And I learned what was there and where it was so that after buying it I can responsibly maintain it.
Description of Work: Inspected a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house to determine the observable condition for a buyer in a home purchase transaction. Consulted with the buyer during the inspection. Provided the buyer with a written report afterwards.

Barry was early and talking to home owner when I arrived on time. I felt that was unprofessional, however I don't think it was of any harm. Inspector did a thorough job and is extremely knowledgeable and detailed. Barry was for the most part very professional and is considered one of the best in the business.

omeExcellent. He adjusted his schedule to accommodate mine. He did a very thorough inspection. When I could not meet him on site for a debriefing, he offered to meet me for coffee the next morning. He also went back an reinspected a repair to the roof that was in process during is original inspection.

I would highly recommend Barry Stone as a home inspector. He wasn't the cheapest home inspector we found, but you absolutely get what you pay for, and it was well worth the few extra dollars charged for the peace of mind he provided.
Description of Work: I had done an online search for quality home inspectors to inspect a second home property we were purchasing SLO and Barry Stone's name kept coming up. I let my Realtor know our preference for Barry Stone and we hired him to perform the home inspection for the property. We live out of the area and wanted to ensure that the inspection was very thorough since we wouldn't always be there to monitor the place in the event something was to go wrong. Barry promply called me after my Realtor had called him. We discussed what the inspection would entail and what the report would look like when finished. Barry arrived for the inspection on time and was well prepared for a thorough inspection of the property. He was responsive to my questions and concerns and was always very friendly and professional in his demeanor. Barry was methodical and extremely thorough in his inspection and found things we had overlooked during our own inspection. Barry was quite knowledgeable about potential repairs needed and I felt very confident that he left no stone unturned. He discussed his findings with me and my Realtor after he completed the inspection. I was amazed to discover Barry Stone's completed report in my email inbox when I returned home later that evening. It was thorough and detailed and included documenting photographs. The report was approximately 16 pages in length. The format was clean and easy to read. The report included absolutely everything that he had found and that he had discussed with us. It was impressive that he could produce such a complete document in such a short span of time. I would highly recommend Barry Stone as a home inspector. He wasn't the cheapest home inspector we found, but you absolutely get what you pay for, and it was well worth the few extra dollars charged for the peace of mind he provided.
