Wonderful! Everything was done in a timely manner and the report was sent to me immediately. The report was very detailed with pictures and recommendations. Ryan Zumdick completed the inspection and was very thorough, friendly, and professional. My daughter was there for the "walk through" and Ryan took time to explain everything to her. The office staff were very helpful, too!

I can honestly say I would recommend this company. Ryan Z. was very professional and took the time to assist my husband & I with all questions and concerns that we had. Ryan didn't rush over the details and made sure that we had good knowledge of what the inspection was about. We truly appreciate his honesty and professionalism. Thanks Ryan! Mr & Mrs White

Derek had arrived at the house well before we were to meet him at the house. When we arrived his inspection was complete; so, he didn't have to waste our time watching him test things. He walked us through the home pointing out the items that needed attention. His final report was very comprehensive. I would definitely hire them again.

This is the second home we have purchased and Ryan at Gerard was so thorough in the work that he performed for us. He noticed so much more than we ever did and gave reccomindation for repair, told us the importance of the issue and who we would need to contact to get the job done. We were also on a very tight time line to submit our report and findings to the seller. Ryan was very understanding of our needs and had out report to us the same day. Thank you Ryan and Gerard Home Inspection.

We worked with Ryan Zumdick. We had a wonderful experience. He took the time to walk us through the inspection and explain every single thing on the report. He was very polite and took his shoes off at the door. If we ever need another home inspection, we would absolutely choose this company !

Derek did an outstanding job inspecting the property I am purchasing. He was thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. He walked through every detail with me, didn't rush and was open to the many questions I had. I was confident when leaving that he had done a complete and thorough inspection. Derek expedited the written report that same day complete with photos and recommendations so I can move forward with the purchase. I highly recommend Gerard Home Inspection. Pricing is reasonable and the customer service is outstanding.

My wife and I chose Gerard Home Inspection to perform the inspection of a home we were in the process of purchasing. Derek Rison came out to perform it. We can honestly not recommend him and Gerard Home Inspection enough. Derek was extremely understanding of my wife and I running late (we got lost), took us point by point through every issue he identified, and made certain we understood what he was talking about before moving on. He gave us a frank analysis on what is and what is not a big deal. The issues we thought were the biggest going in turned out to be relatively minor. The issues that we thought were minor (or didn't even notice) turned out to be significant. At the end of the inspection, Derek spent a decent amount of time talking about the big picture of the necessary repairs, gave suggestions, and helped us process everything. He knew exactly how to give bad news in an honest and considerate manner. We were promised a full, detailed report with the pictures Derek had taken within 24 hours. He had it to us within 6. All this isn't even touching on the fact that their rate was more than fair, and significantly lower than several (lower-reviewed) companies we received quotes from. While we were not happy with the ultimate condition of the home thatwas being inspected, we are extremely satisfied with the service we received from Derek and Gerard Home Inspection. We will certainly be utilizing their service in the future, and I highly recommend that you do as well.

We bought a house in August of last year and had Gerard Home Inspections come out. Garrett was great when he came out, seem very knowledgeable and seemed as if he was doing a very thorough job. We were unable to stay the entire time of the inspection due to time constraints so we weren't actually able to walk through the entire house with him. We moved into the house in September and the very first day my wife who is not a certified home inspector saw something off with the door, we quickly discovered that there was a leak coming from the door and had rotted a hole all the way through the subflooring. We called Garrett and asked how this could have been missed and after a discussion he was willing to give us a refund. We were frustrated because this was missed but were happy with his response. But since then we have noticed multiple things that were never mentioned on the report and now we are experiencing leaking in our bathroom after he told us that the house was in great shape. I feel bad writing this review because he seems like he is a really good guy but unfortunately looking back on our experience I would recommend another home inspector.

Response from Gerard Home Inspection
This is an unfortunate situation. The seller of this home covered the damaged area with mounds of boxes and personal property, which made the damage impossible to see. I felt bad for my customer, and even though I wasn't responsible for the previous owner's concealment, I issued them a refund just to ease the burden and let them know that I cared. Regarding the leak, please understand that we provide an assessment of the property at the time of inspection. We can't predict what will happen to your home in the future. Homes require regular maintenance; a variety of issues, including leaks, are inevitable during your period of ownership. I'm sorry for your current issues, but maintenance is substantial part of the cost of home ownership. It is important to budget accordingly.

Garrett's expertise and professionalism made a tough decision a lot easier. We decided that the house we were looking at was not the right home for us after the very thorough inspection done by Garrett Gerard. We now feel a little more knowledgeable and confident in what to look for in future houses and are excited to continue in our journey of buying a home. We highly recommend Gerard Home Inspection.
