Inspection Testimonials Received From Our Valued Clients
Kelley and I want to take a moment to thank you for the very thorough inspection you performed on the home we purchased in Towson. You took the time to explain everything you were doing and encouraged us to watch over your shoulder throughout the process. We appreciated that you did not treat our inspection as a routine formality. It was also helpful that you pointed out things that were OK now, but would require attention in the near future.
All of that alone is enough that we would recommend you to anyone purchasing or selling a home. But the incident with the furnace was especially indicative of your knowledge and thoroughness. You pointed out that there was an abnormal build-up of rust within the gas furnace. Although the furnace seemed to be operating properly, you recommended that the sellers obtain a certification by a licensed HVAC specialist. We did that and were told that the furnace was in excellent condition and that the rust was “normal” for this type of unit. When I reported this to you, your response was skeptical and you advised that if I could not get the unit replaced, I should at least obtain a home owner’s warranty.
One week prior to settlement, the furnace failed. CO levels in the house were off the charts and the problem turned out to be a cracked heat exchanger. The sellers were wonderful and installed an equivalent unit completely at their expense.
Aside from your qualifications, we were also impressed with your prompt response to questions and phone calls, and with the detailed inspection report. We have been in the house for a month now and are very happy with our purchase. Thank you for helping us to make an informed decision.

John,
Because of your work on our behalf, we've realized that the roofing company may be using colored shingles which are against HOA rules and now we have to get the sellers to install shingles that are in accordance with HOA rules.
Brian and I can't thank you enough. You did work that we didn't even think of doing. Thanks again for your help and I'll keep you informed of what happens. I am definitely recommending you to anyone who needs a home inspector.

Dear John,
I just finished reviewing your detailed report of the home inspection (at Patuxent Run)and I have to say that I am very impressed with the high degree of quality and the comprehensiveness of the report. If I or a friend ever need an inspector, I will surely recommend you.
~Thanks again, Dana

Patti [real estate agent],
It is disappointing to hear that the radon levels were so high. I presume they [sellers] will continue to install remediation until it tests below the accepted level? Let me know. We will want John to retest again, at the sellers expense. John is the best money I have spent in years!
