Customer Testimonials


OUR CLIENTS REPORT THAT THE QUALITY (VALUE) OF THE INSPECTION IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FEE!

VALUE IS: "THE MEASURE OF HOW STRONGLY SOMETHING IS DESIRED FOR IT'S PHYSICAL OR MORAL BEAUTY, USEFULNESS, RARITY ETC." - WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY

OUR INSPECTIONS HAVE A PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE UP TO A $2,500 LIMIT, OTHER INSPECTION COMPANIES DO NOT. A MISTAKE MADE BY OTHER INSPECTION COMPANIES THAT LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY TO THE FEE THEY CHARGE (MOST IF NOT ALL OTHER COMPANIES LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY TO THEIR FEE), WILL NORMALLY COST MORE THAN THEIR FEE, LEAVING YOU THE CONSUMER, TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE!

073008-1   "Michael, this home inspection was for a home my 70 year old parents were going to buy. You saved them from making the biggest mistake of their lives. The leaks in the roof and water damage in the walls would have cost them a small fortune that they don't have at their age. That was negative thing about this house that the untrained eyes never saw. The owner claimed that was a new roof as of 2002, obviousely that was a lie. I was able to see a lot of issues with the roof that just fixing it was NOT enough, which is what they wanted to do. The pictures were very helpful to see that fixing or repairing didn't work before. Thank you so very much for being so great at what you do!! I would always recommend a home inspection for anyone buying a home and you would be the one I recommend. Anytime you need a reference, don't hesitate to use me or even the property as an example of what can happen without an inspection."   Thanks again, Donna & Linda Legg   941-925-3455 or 941-400-5830

"ONE EXPERIENCE THAT OCCURRED DURING THE INSPECTION AND PURCHASE OF THE HOME I AM NOW BUYING ILLUSTRATES THE VALUE OF MIKE'S SERVICES. MIKE DISCOVERED A PROBLEM IN THE FLAT ROOF OVER PART OF THE LANAI. I PROBABLY NEVER WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED THE DEFECT IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF I HAD, I MIGHT NOT HAVE LIKED THE SLIP-SHOD WAY THE REPAIR WAS DONE (BY A LICENSED CONTRACTOR), BUT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD TO ACCEPT IT AS THE ROOFER WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING MORE. MIKE SPEAKS THEIR LANGUAGE, KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT AND CAN DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS DISPASSIONATELY BUT AUTHORITATIVELY AND THEY LISTEN TO HIM FOR THOSE REASONS AND BECAUSE HE HAS SOME CLOUT IN THE BUSINESS. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED FOR THOSE REASONS AND BECAUSE HE TOOK A PERSONAL INTEREST IN HIS WORK AND MY SATISFACTION." MR. RON FOX, 923-6525
