First time home buyers, first time looking for a home inspector. Saw the many positive reviews here, and they're well founded. Michael was knowledgeable, was there before we got there (5 minutes early), friendly, meticulous with his work, and very happy to answer the many questions we had. No major issues with our new house, but a few small ones, including one safety issue where the house wasn't up to code. Very interesting to see the use behind his different tools (which he was happy to explain) and things to watch out for once we own the home. Best investment you can make when putting down hundreds of thousands on a house. If (When) we need another inspection, he will be the one we call.
