I had first-time homebuyers this time around. Bob was very thorough. He took the time to explain the functions of the HVAC and went into more detail than most would. He went through the house with them explaining everything he found. He even suggested things that would help them since it was an older home such as a programmable thermostat, and never using the gas dryer and leaving the house or going to bed. He made sure they felt very comfortable with everything he found and even with general questions about maintenance in the future.
- C.E., Columbia MD, May 2018
What can I say about perfection? Bob went through every detail of the house with my husband and myself. He was very professional and we would highly recommend him in the future to anyone who was buying or selling a house. Kathy L

Bob did an excellent job of not only inspecting my client's house but also explaining key issues to her.

As a new home buyer, you are anxious and scared about the whole process. Well I had to put my trust in my realtor that his circle of expertise were the best and would do a great job. So I meet Bob on the day of my home inspection. Due to a glitch in gaining access to the home, it gave myself, my realtor and Bob time to converse. Bob is a master in the home inspection business. He is experienced and he is a people person. His personality and years of experience put me at ease through the entire process. I would highly recommend him to any home buyer. Thanks Bob

Highly recommend Bob for your home inspection. He did the inspection for my new condo. He knows what to look for and leaves no stone unturned.

Thanks again Bob for everything.
