John was incredibly knowledgeable and took his time going through every detail on the home inspection. He noticed tiny things that other surely would have missed. He used a drone to examine the roof, which saved time and was safer than having a person go on the roof, but got just as good information. The seller was also present and John was very professional in not discussing any of his findings within her hearing, only giving the information to me. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous and he made sure to describe everything to me in detail and explain how everything within the house worked. Even my realtor was impressed and she has been in the business for years! He sent the report quickly and it was very thorough. His services were more pricey than other quotes I got, but I felt the results were well worth the money I spent. He also works with a septic company and oil tank sweep company, both of which were included in the price I paid. I liked that he took care of arranging with those companies to come at the same time as he was doing our home inspection.

John was great. He walked us through the inspection and described everything he was seeing, along with tips about what to look out for in the future. He also provided a very detailed report.

When working to purchase our first home, we decided to use DIR for the home inspection because of the good reviews and pricing. Everything went well: scheduled the appointment quickly, showed up on time, performed thorough inspection, welcomed my questions, and got us the report quickly.

I first found John (DiR Home Consulting) last summer on Angie's list and decided to contact because of his reviews and pricing. John was incredibly thorough, careful, and helpful. As he went through the inspection, he took the time to explain and point out various issues, including the important ones to take care of before closing. His report was also very detailed and clear, which made it very easy to present back to the sellers and request repairs. I liked John's services so much that this year, I had him do two more home inspections for investment purchases. One of the inspections was for an older house, and I should note that the roof hatch was sealed but John had a Drone that he flew over the house to take high-quality video and photos of the roof! Again, for this home inspection, John was able to identify a number of issues and provide a clear, detailed report that helped us in the negotiation process with the sellers. Finally, I thought John's manner was friendly, considerate, and highly professional. He was responsive and easy to schedule with. Also, I had gotten some price quotes from other home inspectors, and John's prices were among the best. I would highly recommend John and DiR Home Consulting to anyone!

He was extremely thorough and took the time to explain everything he was doing. He also found a hidden beam which exposed a past structural issue that the previous homeowners were unaware of (their inspector never caught it as it was hidden in the drop ceiling). In addition, I had been burned in the past by an inspector unwilling to thoroughly inspect the roof, but John uses a drone to take detailed pictures of the entire roof and analyzes them. Overall, this was a great experience and I would definitely recommend John and use him again if I ever move.
Description of Work: John did the inspection on the home that I am purchasing. He also tested for radon, wood destroying insects, and an underground oil tank scan.

Dir Home Inspections was recommended by our realtor and we couldn't be happier with their service. The inspector answered all of our questions and taught us a lot about our new home. The report was easy to read and broke everything down by area of the home. Thanks for the great inspection.

I'm so glad we went with John and DIR for our home inspection. They were very thorough and took the time to explain everything along the way. There was nothing on the final report that I didn't already know from talking with John during the walkthrough, and the detail on the report was sufficient enough that we were just able to send the whole thing to the sellers and have the few issues found corrected. The B on the price is because DIR is sightly more expensive than the competition you see here. With John, you definitely get what you pay for. If the category were "value" instead of "price" then it'd be an easy A+.

John Doering was a phenomenal Home Inspector! He was thorough, responded in a timely manner, was always accessible and professional from our initial interaction to the conclusion of the inspection process. Even our real estate agent, who's been working with Home Inspectors for several years, was impressed by his workmanship. The usage of a drone to get detailed view of the roof, his two hour plus inspection of the home, and 55 page inspection report are just a few examples of his attention to detail and why I would hire him again in a heart beat. Because of Mr. Doering, we feel more confident in our purchase and have returned to the buyers with several items that need to be addressed. Thank you

The inspector "John" showed up before we got there. He was prepared and ready as we pulled up to the house. John was very detailed as he looked for the areas of concern. He informed us of any issues and documented them as he worked. His report was clear and focused on the big issues. It was a pleasure to hire DIR Home Inspection and we would recommend them to anyone getting a home inspection.
