I called and texted John over the weekend, and I was amazed at how quickly he replied during the weekend! I was also amazed that he was able to schedule my inspection that Monday after that weekend! John was very professional and thorough during the inspection. If I were buying in Tallahassee again, I’d hire him again in a heartbeat! HIRE THIS GUY!!!

I have been working with John since Aug/Sept to inspect a new home that we bought, being built in Winter Springs. John was very responsive and easily reachable, and understanding as we waited on the home to be complete for inspection. Phil came out to do the inspection and was very thorough, found some issues in some of the home systems (plumbing and electrical) as well as some smaller issues. He was very professional and would get my attention to make sure I saw the important items he was noticing so I could know what to look for after the issues get fixed. The report and punch list were very timely and well documented with notes and pictures. Would definitely recommend.

Buying a house is stressful, however, John was a breath a fresh air during this process. John is very professional and extremely thorough. As he found items of concern during the home inspection he immediately pointed it out to me. After he finished his inspection, he went through each picture to explain what he found. He was able to explain things in a way that I could understand. He has a kind nature and was personable throughout the process. I received the report and pictures in less than 24 hours. I used John for the inspection and re-inspection once items were completed. Both appointments were set in a timely manner. I highly recommend John for anyone needing a home inspection. I am completely satisfied with his services.

John was very thorough in inspecting our potential home for purchase. He took time to go over all areas of concern and pointed out the safety concerns that were then turned over to the seller to be corrected.

Amazing! John found so many things wrong with our potential home buy, because he was so thorough with my inspection. We would've spent so much more on repairs than we paid John if we didn't hire him. The seller fixed all the things on Johns list and we saved thousands! He was easily worth every cent!

This is the second time we have hired John to inspect a property for us - one purchase in Astor and one in Palm Coast. We would now never use anyone else. He is utterly professional, prompt, reliable, very honest and gives excellent advice. His expertise is something we relied on consistently in our investment decisions. His fees are half the price of other inspection companies, and for that you get so much much more. Don't waste your time shopping around or skip the home inspection - call John, you won't regret it!

This was my third home inspection with John. He’s always on time and very professional. I love that he actually takes his time and is extremely thorough. He even asks if the prospective homeowner has any concerns and he makes sure to address them. I will definitely hire him for all of my home/commercial building inspection needs!

John is probably the most professional Home Inspector I' eve came by and hired. He was responsive, patient with my questions, flexible to adjust to our ever changing time frame. He did a wonderful job, timely delivery of his very detailed report. Not only we would hire him again we could consider adopting him.
