I have encountered several building inspectors, but none of them have been able to demonstrate such metitculous attention to detail and simultaneously the ability to look a the house as a whole thing, almost as a living creature! Curtis’ work is very thorough and precise. Also, the presentation of the final inspection report is amazing.  It is full of information, complete with pictures, and the homeowner’s manual is included!

Curtis,

We have purchased the home you inspected. Thank you for your expertise. I felt quite comfortable that your “tour” of the building with me was thorough and professionally done.

Dear Curtis,

  A brief note to let you know how very much Donna and I appreciated our home inspection experience with you!

  We are so glad you bring a vast knowledge of inspection to the job, along with the patience of a judge,  answering all our seemingly endless questions.  Your company name is quite apt!  You do in fact embody/enliven courtesy, along with a pleasant manner, thoroughness, and a deep abiding sense of honesty....all of which made for a lasting and highly favorable experience for us!  We've had dealings with inspectors over the years, and we both feel yours was at the top....so thank you Curtis.  We will be very happy to recommend you.

  Sincerely,

 Bud Meltsner and Donna Day [Professional Engineer]
