Instead of being focused on the inspection, he was chatting and selling his services to the realtor. Missed many details and we had to point out many of the issues.

Samuel was super easy to schedule and was on time for our meeting. He followed me around at first so I could show him some strong concerns I had. Then he proceeded to start his inspection and after he addressed the concerns I had and then explained reasons then offered solutions. I found him very knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend him to anyone needing a good home inspection.

Sam is professional and knowledgeable. I hired him to perform a second home/roof inspection. He helped us identify significant issues that were not identified by the first inspection and helped us to understand the difference between important structural issues and minor cosmetic problems. He gave us peace of mind.

Sam is professional and kind. He helped us identify major issues with our new rental house. And he took the time to patiently explain the problems, their impact on us as tenants, and how they could be addressed. Homespec s pricing was also very reasonable, and they made sure we weren t paying for services we didn t need.
