Ken is a great professional. He has 35 years of experience and he did a great job finding things that needed attention. He spent time explaining everything to us and provided a great hand written report on the inspection form that he uses. I couldn't be happier.

Ken was amazing to work with! He was very thorough and went above and beyond to make sure we understood every detail of the process. He worked efficiently and happily answered all of the questions we threw his way. Buying our first home has been easier and a little less stressful thanks to Ken.

Ken was an excellent home inspector, he pointed out many issues in the home that i could never figure it out, I will ask him to inspect any properties I will try to own. Some realtors will push to waive inspection in order to win confidence to their future dealings.

Excellent work. Inspection occurred in a timely manner and the inspection was thorough. Following the inspection, Ken went through his findings and the findings from others on his team. They made sure I understood those findings and helped me prioritize the work. Although I do not have the level of knowledge regarding home inspections and repairs, Ken and his team spent the time I needed so I came away with a true understanding of the inspection and inspection results. This was critical for me as I worked to finalize an agreement with the property seller so our agreement was transparent and equitable. I will definitely seek out his help in the future.

Ken is an excellent home inspector. I have been a realtor for many years and always feel comfortable recommending his services. I personally would never buy a property without having Ken Osborne fully inspect it. He is very thorough and gives the buyer a full report on every aspect of the home they would like to purchase.

This was my first home and first home inspection. Ken was my second choice - my first choice was unavailable. He and his staff are friendly and willing to answer questions. They did more than I expected and I received a printed report that was helpful. There was one matter that came up where I would have liked someone with more knowledge or understanding of the issue. He differed with the builder and the city inspector. The city inspector's explanation seemed more plausible than Ken's. Regardless, his work was done at a reasonable cost and the information he provided was valuable .

Ken supported us with two homes. Ken saved us from purchasing a home that had foundation issues that were not obvious to see. We walked away from the foundation issue and Ken supported us in the home finally did purchase. If you want an inspector that finds EVERYTHING than Ken is your guy. Ken will find darn near everything and allow you as the buyer to determine if you want to proceed. Ken is very knowledgeable both during and after the sale with recommendations on how to fix the little things.
Description of Work: We used Ken as our home inspector when we bought our house.

He was able to work us into his schedule without much delay and was extremely prompt and courteous. He gave us a clear written list of concerns and answered follow up questions I had days after he visited. I would use him again and recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Mr. Osborne did a very thorough home inspection for me and I have recommended him to others needing the same service. He also recommended highly qualified people to do the work he recommended, which was a HUGE help.
