We had Richard do two inspections for us. On the first, another inspector had double-booked and left us hanging with only hours before offers on the house had to be registered. Richard started the inspection within about 3 hours of our call. He was incredibly thorough, informative and friendly. He has all the right tools, including a thermal imaging camera and other fun stuff. He explained everything clearly to us, and made sure we were fully informed about the house. In the end, we lost that house in the bidding war.
We called Richard for another inspection on the house we did end up buying. Again, he was punctual, incredibly thorough, informative and friendly. We were emailed the full report later that day.
I'll also mention Richard invites any calls after the inspection to answer any new questions you might come up with, AND his rates are very competitive. In fact, for the service he provides, you get more than your money's worth. He's a great guy doing great work.
Huge thanks to Richard and two thumbs up.
