Excellent! I had to use CTR twice as the first offer on a home I was looking to purchase fell through due to the Seller. Mike and Jim were extremely friendly and professional. They allowed me to ask all the questions I needed while doing the inspection and pointed out any issues as they went. I received the report in less than 24 hours and it was very detailed and easy to read. They encouraged me to call them after I received the report to ask further questions. I would highly recommend using CTR!

Absolutely beyond expectations - CTR (both Mike and Jim) were professional, thorough, and patient with all of our questions. The report provided was clear, easy to navigate, and produced in 1 day. Would absolutely work with them again.

After they did such a thorough job on the first home we wanted to purchase it was a no brained to call them for another when the first one fell through. The first home looked beautiful on the outside but they uncovered a ton of things that were big money items as well as safety issues for our family. The buyers refused to fix the issues so we had to move on. Not only are they incredible home inspectors, they are great individuals. Straight forward and diligent in everything they do.

Buying a home is a huge investment, both financially and emotionally. It's our biggest asset and it's also the roof over our babies' heads so the home inspection is very important. We have 100% confidence in our purchase after CTR Home Inspections looked through our new home. Even our real estate agent noted that they were very thorough. They took the time to explain to us how things worked and what work might need to be done in the near future. They were also very patient with us and answered all of our questions. They were incredibly professional and knowledgeable, they arrived early, and took the time to make sure we thoroughly understood everything they looked at. We never felt rushed and we left feeling much more confident about this purchase. We were completely satisfied with their work and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a home inspector.

Mike and Jim did a great job. They took on our inspection last minute and made it worked, they even arrived early and began working right away. Throughout the inspection, they kept us aware of what they were doing. They also insisted we ask any and all questions we may have. Throughout the process, they made recommendations to us regarding what needed to be updated and who to use in order to get the best "bang for your buck".

It was SUCH A PLEASURE working with CTR Home Inspections. They came highly recommended by a friend who recently purchased a home, and she said that they were incredibly thorough and detailed - exactly what I was looking for! From my first contact with Mike over the phone to set up the appointment, to shaking his (and his son's hand thanking them for the wonderful job they did) it was a pleasant, informative, and overall excellent experience. They took my husband and I through each room, as well as outside of the house, and showed us everything they were looking at and taking note of, complete with pictures and detailed descriptions. We were originally told that we would have the report the following day (which I thought was quick!), but wouldn't you know, he had them to us the VERY SAME DAY (just later that evening!!). They really were amazing to work with and I am so happy that we used them for our home inspection. Buying a home can be a stressful process, and CTR home inspections put us at ease and made one task on our to-do list, very smooth.. THANK YOU!

CTR did a wonderful job with our home inspection. As first time home buyers, my husband and I were extremely happy with Mike's professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise. He is extremely thorough, and took a lot of time to explain potential issues with the house we never would have noticed. He emailed us a comprehensive, easy to read inspection report within hours of completing our inspection. I would highly recommend him as a home inspector.

Professionalism and dedication. Our first time having a house inspected for purchase. Mike our inspector took time to look at every detail of the house with thoughtful diligence. He and his partner took detailed notes and pictures not leaving any detail unnoticed. He climb to the roof and also managed to fit inside a small opening in the basement to inspect the ground level of an addition that was made into the property. He was able to spot termites that most inspectors wold not have done. I became confident while Mike was inspecting the property that we were in good hands. From the very beginning to the end which took 3 to 4 hours of detailed observations and conversation we ultimately left the property feeling assured to our decision. I will recommend Mike to my family and friends. Kay

CTR performs excellent home inspections. We've used their services twice for new home purchases and they are great. CTR is a very professional company. They arrive early and perform a very thorough and complete job. They are serious about their work and reputation and go the extra mile to make sure you are aware of any potential issues before buying your home. They check everything from top to bottom and explain each item/area to you as they walk through the house. I would recommend them highly.

Mike was really detailed not only during the inspection, telling us what he was doing and looking for, but the report afterwards. We had the inspection on Friday at 3 and got the report Saturday afternoon! So fast and came with pictures too. Mike helped us discover aspects of the potential home that we were not aware of, and we are SO grateful! We have decided not to go with that home due to so many hazards found during the inspection. It was well worth the money, and he charged a competitive rate. We plan to call him again as we continue to house hunt.

Mike Cotter greeted us at the house at the exact time that he promised. He walked us through the house, and he identified spots that should be addressed by the home seller. His recommendations and suggestions were on point. The sellers agreed to address all of the issues that he found.

Mike was waiting at the house for me for the scheduled inspection. He stepped out of the truck to introduce himself and got right to work. He was more than courteous and professional, he was very easy to talk to and really helped me make a great decision. Mike is also a wealth of knowledge and taught me a few things about my home that I surely would not have noticed or figured out on my own. The report I received was extremely thorough and it's still working for me today. I get a recall report every month on all of the appliances/equipment in my home. The most important part of all was the peace of mind Mike afforded me by doing such a great job. I would recommend his home inspection service to anyone!

CTR Home Inspection is extremely knowledge, friendly, thorough, prompt, and professional. Any issues with the home inspection are explained to you right on the spot! The final report on my inspections did not miss a detail, the level of depth, facts, and photos in the report not only impressed me but impressed my realtor as well! I have referred their services to friends and family who have used them and have been very pleased and I will be using CTR Home Inspections again in the future.

I believe we worked together on 3-4 properties and if not for his advice and patience with me I would be certain I was making a huge financial mistake. I trust him like a member of my family and could not have done this without him! I highly recommend him to any one looking for inspections!

Mike from CTR home inspections was very accommodating on very short notice. We called him on a Wednesday and he made himself available the following Saturday. Mike was also very informative as he walked me through his inspection process from crawl space to attic and around the complete exterior. I really appreciated the inclusion in the that process as we were buying a home for the first time. While being very personable, a high level of professionalism was maintained as we received an easy to read comprehensive report in digital format. We also appreciate the enrollment into a website that Monitors recalls on all of our major appliances (We receive a monthly report via email). Mike identified areas of concern which in turn I was able to negotiate into the contract for our home purchase. We also discussed some less significant concerns that could be addressed personally. As a handy DIY person I was able to use these areas as additional negotiating points. Since the wonderful experience we had with CTR home inspections we have been recommending to everyone we hear might need their services.

He first made observation of the outside of home which included the siding, stairway for all entries, also went under storage areas to look for water damage or bug infestation. Took a close look at slate roof using binoculars as well as leaders & gutters. Inspected gas & electric boxes as well as service feeds for any damages. On the inside he checked water pressure, hot water heater, all electric outlets & panel, ran heat & air conditioner inspected units. Look at walls & windows for leaks or damage. Checked both the house & garage for termite damage. Must note he took pictures that he provided in his very detailed report. Report was very detailed easy to follow that was sent to us within 48hrs
