About Me

Typically I will arrive onsite 15 minutes prior to the start of the inspection.

A thorough and detailed report with pictures identifying what repairs are needed and maintenance tips will be emailed to you the following day by noon.

Customer Reviews
"Colin did an amazing job on my home inspection. He caught key issues before buying the house for us to bring up to the seller and did a really great job explaining in detail what he was finding and how to maintain or fix it. Excellent work from Colin glad I choose him for the inspection process!"
"Colin did an excellent job! He explained his findings as we progressed through the house. His inspection and report caught key issues that I was able to present to the seller. Colin even returned to my property to inspect the garage after I received the keys a couple days later. I highly recommend Colin."
"Colin is an absolute pro. He was very clear on inspection day about the issues he was seeing, and what those meant for me as the homeowner. Colin was able to concisely explain specific things like building materials and electrical wiring to give me context, but I never felt overwhelmed with too much technical information. After just a few conversations with him, I feel much smarter about my house and how to care for it over the long term. In the end, our inspection report was extremely thorough and helped us feel comfortable and prepared to own this home."
"Incredibly professional and thorough. Colin was very helpful, knowledgeable, and answered any of our questions."
"Colin was thorough and took the time to explain all potential issues in detail. He caught an oil tank that was still on the property that would have cost us thousands of dollars to remove. Thanks to him we're working with our seller to have it taken care of. Can't recommend Colin enough!"
"Colin inspected a house for me last week. Beyond being a pleasant and friendly person in general, he was very thorough, knowledgeable, and honest about everything he found. He helped me prioritize the more pressing issues that need immediate attention and offered recommendations for professionals to contact for further assistance. He made me feel confident in the house that my family will grow in for years to come."
