inspector - you need the region's best inspector.

in purchase negotiations, warranty repairs or when making
future maintenance decisions.

"We could see the
obvious things. Paul
took the time to get into
the attic and the
crawlspace (and it was
TINY!) - and saved us a
lot of money and even
more heartache - the
house looked great on
the outside but what
he found structurally
and in the electrical
system saved us
thousands of dollars!"

More than a year ago,
we were moving to
Moscow from across the
country. We were
nervous at purchasing a
home long-distance, but
it was comforting to
know that someone so
professional, friendly
and also our neighbor
had inspected our new
home. ..
…Then, when we
recently had an issue
with our home, you
came to our rescue
again; a year and a half
later you were still
looking out for us and
our home!”-Jason &
