We could not be more pleased! It was a great experience working with John and his team. They were prompt, thorough, and answered all our questions. They explained, in detail, those places that needed serious attention and recommended the appropriate fixes. We are SO grateful for the extensive report that we received (that night) and have poured over it many times. We want him to check out our present house when we are close to ready to put it on the market. We highly recommend him!

John was pleasant, timely, efficient and open to patiently answering questions before, during AND after the inspection. As a first-time homeowner, I appreciated his willingness to explain the inspection process as well as his various findings and recommendations. After the inspection, I sent him some questions via email and he called back within a few hours even though it was a Sunday. We highly recommend him!

From first contact, I was impressed with the efficiency, courtesy, and professionalism of this company. The home inspection was extremely thorough. John was friendly, polite, had a good sense of humor, and most importantly was very knowledgeable. He answered all questions I had, and volunteered information about many things I did not think to ask. The inspection report arrived in less than 24 hours, and was incredibly comprehensive. I could not have been happier with this service.

John arrived right on time, was incredibly professional and friendly, performed a very thorough inspection of the property including air and water radon testing and a wood-damaging insects inspection. He was helpful in explaining some of the aspects of the home that he observed along the way. He was also very helpful when follow-up questions were asked after the inspection via an email, text messages, and even a phone call when I had a more detailed question. The inspection report was very detailed and included many color photos to indicate any issues or other useful findings throughout the property. A PDF of the report was emailed to us within 24 hours and the water quality and radon report within a couple days. I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation.

John was incredible to work with - completely thorough, professional and humorous! We were supplied with a very detailed inspection which resulted us walking away from the home and not walking in to a money-pit. We will be hiring him for another inspection once we find the prefect place for us.

Besides the weather being 8 degrees and windy it went well. John was very thorough finding even the smallest imperfections to be improved on. Things that would easily be missed. Not only did he arrive on time, conduct a thorough investigation in a timely manner but he had the results back to us the following day! His 71 page report (he also gives you a summarized report) was well laid out and easy to follow. He utilizes lots of photos to clarify what needs improvement. I would definitely recommend his services above anyone else.

Excellent. John was very friendly and approachable. During the inspection he walked through and around the entire house with me, pointing out both the positive and negative things that he was seeing in ways that I could easily understand. The report I received after the on-site inspection was completed was very clear and thorough, containing understandable text and pictures to highlight all notable parts of the inspection. It definitely helped me make an informed decision on the home I was interested in purchasing. I'm extremely happy with the level of service I received.

The inspector was prompt and professional. Very friendly guy who even took time to explain his thoughts and concerns with me through out the inspection. He was very thorough and his reports were extemely detailed. Being a first time home buyer with not a clue what to look for I was blown away at the report that John Rodkey submitted. He listed literally everything with pictures and details. I will definitely recommend John.
