Met the challenge with aces!

The Buyer was unreasonable and rude. The Buyer mistreated each of the 5 people in attendance. Hal, the home inspector was "grace under fire". Patiently answering, re answering their many big and many nit picking questions, many asked several times. The home inspection should have taken 2 1/2 to 3 hours and we were there for 4 hours. Hal's report did get sent that night and although the report showed the home to have a few issues all were very fixable and could have been accomplished for a reasonable sum, the Buyer walked away from the purchase. Hal worked very late to get that report out after an exhausting client interaction. He was wonderful.

Thorough and Professional Home Inspection

I found the entire inspection process to be very well done. Carson Dunlop was recommended by our real estate agent. Since the house was built in 1967, we wanted to be sure to have a thorough and professional inspection.The inspector arrived on time and we went through the house together with a very detailed inspection. He took the time to answer all the questions I had. He discovered a number of minor issues that were highlighted in the final report that I would never have found myself. As well he had a variety of interesting methods to look for potential issues. The use of the thermal imaging camera was also well worth the additional cost.We were very pleased with the detailed final report, as well as the accompanying home maintenance book. Overall it was a very professional inspection and I would certainly recommend Carson Dunlop to anyone looking for a home inspection.

The report was very informative. The fact that it was all through email made it extremely easy. Wish I could of been there to view it personally. The encyclopedia is definitely worth the look for regular maintenance and a more in depth understanding of the basic home aspects.

Greg met us at our new home on time and prepared.
He did a thorough walk around the house and spent an hour on each floor. He provided live feedback as he went through and provided suggestions on how to best address the fixes.
He had excellent customer service skills and made us feel safe in our investment.

Great Service!

Very thorough. Very polite and took the time to explain in very easy details the issues he was noticing. Even pointing out good things or things we should know about in the future. Report was returned to us within hours. Highly recommend this service. Could not be happier with the service we received.

The inspection was very thorough and professional. The inspector went over issues in great detail with pictures and it all comes with a nice, neat digital package. Also included a book with this service on how to maintain your home.
