Not having real estate experience, I was rushed by a real estate agent to sign a contract , and I had 7 days grace period to inspect and get out of contract.
Description of Work: I had to inspect a house which I had 7 days to get out of contract with any inspection. Dwayne allowed me to have appointment in 2 days, showed up did a complete home inspection along with pictures. He is very knowledgeable, price is right and will use him for next review. He literally saved me from potential money pit.

Inspector was punctual. Inspection was scheduled just a few days after I called him. He inspected the entire house from top to bottom. Promptly sent an e-mail with digital copy of inspection. Also received a binder with information and a CD-ROM.

It is difficult to know where to begin when the service provided by DeWayne was phenomenal. From the start of the inspection process, DeWayne immediately displayed his sense of humor along with his professionalism. He made it a point to involve us in the process of inspecting the house with him not standing by to wait for his final review. He took care to go through the entire house and property in a focused and orderly manner. As we went through each room, he completed his visual inspection while pointing things out and sharing helpful tips on how to repair certain flaws ourselves. DeWayne was very insightful and knowledgeable about common issues with homes. DeWayne's expertise clearly came from years of hands on experience and his ability to give us quotes in order to help us plan ahead for future repairs. He was extremely helpful and personable making the overall experience exceptional. We would absolutely recommend DeWayne in the future to anyone and everyone who asks for an inspector recommendation.

DeWayne was very easy to reach (call or text) and answered any and all of our questions beforehand. He was thorough in the inspection, and even incorporated humor into it all - humor helps with everything. He involved both my boyfriend and I by having us help him with a few things so we understood more of what he was doing. He ended up finding a few structural issues in a tight crawl space, so we ended up being thankful we went ahead with the inspection before the big purchase. The packet of information as well as the USB of photos are great to have and we will definitely be using DeWayne again for our next and hopefully last inspection!

DeWayne was great. We had 7 days to get a home inspection and radon test. Do to the short notice he had to get the radon testing in place a few days prior to the inspection which he did. He arranged his schedule and met us on a Sat. morning. DeWayne was very friendly and explained everything. He didn't rush at all and was very thorough. We really appreciated his help and insight.

It was actually one of the best home inspections I've had. For the price of the home inspection, it was really worth it because there was a ton of stuff he found that I did not notice about the house. He was able to educate me and my wife because we are first time home buyers looking at a nice house. DeWayne was really impressive he gave us a flash drive of all the pictures he took which was about 146 pics. He also made sure we looked at an issue when he found one and immediately explained us about the price to repair it and time frame it should be fixed. From the issues we saw from the house it is a very nice house that needs some "touch-ups" which every house has otherwise there would be no fun on doing the next home improvement. In the end, I would definitely recommend DeWayne from Brickkickers. Fantastic job and definitely worth the money!

Tom Tews arrived early and is the Wisconsin version of Dwayne. Dwayne took the call from my realtor at 9:30pm the previous evening. Dwayne explained to my realtor that he charged more than other home inspectors because he did a better job and his efforts were worth more. He knew how much he was worth and charged accordingly. Unbeknownst to me, the next morning at 9am, Dwayne had called in his associate, Tom Tews, to complete the inspection for him. Frankly, I didn't mind as Tom was a wonderful inspector. He was, as previously mentioned, efficient, quick, respectable, professional, courteous and very thorough. He left me with a very handsome binder and a 1/2 thick copy of the home inspection which he emailed to me the same day. I learned enough to negotiate with the seller of the house I intend to buy so that a plumber came out to rectify 4 major issues that very afternoon. While I may have paid 325.00 for the home inspection, it was money well spent since the seller and my realtor are now paying the over $500.00 in repairs to plumbing that were evidenced as a result of Tom's inspection.
Description of Work: Tom Tews, the Wisconsin version of Dwayne Silberhorn, provided a top-quality home inspection on less than 12 hours notice. He was efficient, quick, respectable, professional, courteous and very thorough. It was a pleasure to witness the efficiency with which he worked. He completed the entirety of the inspection in 2.5 hours with the knowledge that I had to return back to work at a certain time since I am a teacher. I appreciated his consideration of my time. I left the inspection with great confidence in negotiating a settlement with the seller of the house I intend to buy. There were a number of plumbing issues that were immediately addressed. As soon as I explained the BrickKicker had been through with the home inspection, the plumbing issues were rectified that afternoon.
