Steven was just the person I was looking for to inspect my home. He conducted a thorough inspection, explained everything clearly, and was exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns with great patience. Highly recommended!

Steven was absolutely amazing! He took the time to notice things that to an untrained eye, especially as a first time home buyer, you would overlook. Issues that I didn't understand and/or saw after the report was complete, he came back to explain and update his report. To describe it best, I felt as if I was in the caring hands of a person who truly wanted to see me get the best out of my home and my deal. I would highly recommend him to everyone. Professional, thorough, punctual, communicative and a true delight. Friendly and a great sense of humor throughout the problems while noting the real issues of your home. I fully understand his well deserved 5 star review and I'll see him for my next homeinspection. Thank you, Steven!

Steven inspected a two bedroom co-op apartment for us a day after a major blizzard. He got up at 3:30 in the morning to make it into the city and arrived at the apartment before we did. He started the inspection immediately, and we were so impressed by the thoroughness of his work. While he looked at electric outlets, the stove and fridge, walls, and faucets among other things, he kept explaining to us what needed to be fixed or replaced and took photos of everything. He was incredibly patient and took time to answer all our questions. The seller's agent was equally impressed by him and told our agent how fabulous he was. I would give Steven six stars if I could.
