As a Realtor I am delighted to recommend Rick to any of my clients including my son! Totally professional and detailed.

During our inspection Rick taugh us many valuable lessons about general upkeep and home maintenance. His reports are easy to read and we were easily able to show the seller documentation of issues needing to be resolved prior to our purchase.

As a first time home buyer, I was very unsure of what a home inspection would entail. Rick went above and beyond, providing a detailed binder full of color pitures and thorough narrative. I feel comfortable recommending him to anyone!

Rick did a very thorough inspection on a investment property. His detailed report with photos made it very east to refer to with the seller for repairs. I highly recommend Rick to anyone considering any type of property.

Rick has provided me with numerous summary reports for investment properties.  One find on one house alone has paid 10 times over for ALL the inspections I have used him for.  It's obvious he really likes what he does!!!
