Our inspection was really great! Matt did a great job of explaining what he was looking at in a thorough, and methodological way. He was willing to answer any questions we had and did not use highly technical jargon. He was able to tell us what and why it was important and gave us a really good perspective on the must dos versus items to be fixed down the line. He communicates really well and we alters very satisfied with the level of service and professionalism he provided. Structure Tech is highly recommended!
Description of Work: We needed a thorough home inspection on a property we are under contract to purchase. In addition to the home inspection, we also paid for a radon test which was install 2 days prior to the inspection.

Matthew Behrens was straightforward, direct, and attentive to details. His explanations for anticipated work and their timeline were clear. I felt much more confident about my home purchase after his inspection. The company he works for, Structure Tech, were able to accommodate a late schedule change and communicated the appointment time in a very efficient manner. I would very much recommend Matt and his company to any person looking for a home inspection.

As a first-time home buyer, the inspection was a critical piece to the process. Structure Tech made it very easy to quickly schedule all inspections and explain the process. Structure Tech also has lots of great info on inspections as well as advice on their website - definitely helped us along the way. Matt arrived before our inspection time and was prepared to start right away. We appreciated his thoroughness and attention to detail. He was always happy to answer any question we had, at any point. We were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Matt completed our full inspection report with photos the same day as our inspection. Thanks Matt! Fee was higher than average I'd say, but worth it for the excellent, professional service. I would highly recommend Matt and Structure Tech to anyone.

The evaluator was very professional and helpful to me in navigating the issues raised by a previous TISH report. He guided me to proper approaches to clear issues from that report and conducted a new TISH evaluation. Work was done in a timely manner and the cost was reasonable.

Found significant water damage in the home that would have been $50,000 to repair. Offered us a discount on the inspection since there was no way we would buy that house. Inspected our next house with great detail, easy to understand the current problems, and detailed report with pictures that was sent to us the next day. Very thorough. Even inspected the roof in early March. Very impressed. Will recommend to all

Milind gave such a thorough inspection that it felt like a crash course in home ownership! As a first-time homebuyer, I was painfully aware that I didn't know the things I didn't know. I was very grateful for how he went above-and-beyond about not only explaining the potential issues, but about how to best navigate them.

It went great! Nick P. was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable and straight forward. He has expertise on old houses, one house he inspected was built in 1909, the other one was in the 80"s. His reports were very detailed with photographs that were in focus and able to understand. I live in another state and so I needed as much explanation as possible and Nick gave it and was available when ever I needed him. He also responded to my requests in a speedy manner. I would highly recommend him for any home inspection job. Top of the line. The price below included a radon gas test.

Working with Structure Tech was the best experience! We are first time home buyers and from the second Neil (the owner) walked in the door, he was helpful, friendly, kind and professional! Not only did I feel like we were in good honest hands with our inspection, but I also felt like we had been friends for years! Wouldn't recommend any other company, they are amazing!

Structure Tech inspected a home for me as part of real estate transaction. The inspectors were very friendly and happy to explain and discuss details of the house as we went through the inspection. I brought my father-in-law who has built several houses in California and he was impressed with how much he learned while working with Structure Tech (obviously, working in CA is very different--even up in the mountains). We were allowed extra time to take photographs and poke around at whatever we wanted. The inspection really helped me to get to know the house and it gave me a lot of confidence in my purchase. These guys know their stuff and they're a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Exceeded my expectations. Wayne was very clear and explained all the issues to someone untutored in mechanical and structural systems. He responded immediately to a follow up phone call for further explanation.

Jim did our buyer's home inspection. I appreciated that he was on-time, conscientious, personable, professional and explained things in clear and understandable language. His report was detailed and thorough and he took the time to answer my follow-up questions by phone. I shared his report with 2 other home-owners and both were impressed with the level of detail. Structure Tech's website is full of articles on issues pertaining to home systems and maintenance and I plan to be a frequent visitor. Thanks, Jim! Oh and I plan to use these folks for future home purchases.

Tessa and Structure Tech were recommended by our realtor, Todd Shipman of Sotheby's. It was easy to set up the inspection appointment and they were able to meet our timelines. Tessa was the most thorough home inspector we have ever used. Her detailed report was returned to us very quickly and pointed out things we would never have thought to look at....it really made our home buying decision easy. I will always recommend Structure Tech to my friends.

Excellent, he was friendly, helpful and good at what he did, so we are hiring him again for the current house we have an accepted offer on.
Description of Work: George performed a home inspection for my wife and I on a home we were going to buy. We are definitely glad we had the inspection, it saved us an estimated sum of $10,000.00 or more. And that goes to show you can spend a little upfront or spend a lot on the back end, which would have been the case on this property. It had wiring issues, roofing issues, draining issues, venting issues, just to mention a few. It also had a sump pump under the entry way steps that was not in use and appeared to be there, so when water came into the house from the entry way, they could put a hose out the front door and turn on the sump pump and pump the water out.

Jim was fantastic! It was so educational to walk through the inspection with him, and we received a very thorough report at the end. It's definitely good peace of mind, especially when buying a much older home! I would highly recommend StructureTech to anyone looking for a home inspector.

Nick was our home inspector, recommended highly by our realtor. He was incredibly thorough, informative, funny and had great recommendations. The entire transaction and process with StructureTech was smooth, from setting up the appointment, processing payment, receiving confirmation and reminders. Not only that, the report that Nick put together was phenomenal. We now know so many things about the house and everything was documented meticulously. Through Nick’s thorough inspection, we uncovered several issues that the seller is now fixing before closing. These were issues that would’ve cost us thousands. The camera inspection for sewer line alone saves us $6,000 and the chimney camera inspection helped us identify crucial safety issues. Thanks Nick and StructureTech. Well worth the money, 100% recommended.

The inspection showed that there was several items that needed repair and some major ones that helped us stop the purchase of the Townhouse. They saved us thousands of dollars we would of had to spend on repairs.

Great! Patrick showed up early, he asked what I thought about the house and about my concerns. He was extremely thorough and educated me about what he was looking for and why. He answered all my questions during the inspection and left plenty of time at the end for additional discussion. I greatly appreciate his attention to detail and suggestions.
