Update: Dave conducted an inspection of a house we're buying. He spent the right amount of time conducting the inspection. He didn't rush through it like most inspectors, and he answered questions I had as I shadowed him. He presented a recap that floored both our agent and the seller's agent. They both mentioned that it was the best recap any inspector has ever presented to them. That doesn't happen by accident. Dave's system obviously took months, if not years, to perfect so that it made all parties happy. His presentation comes across as a very knowledgeable professional using all his skills to help his client. Unlike many inspectors, Dave doesn't come across as a know-it-all. He seems to genuinely enjoy helping people. He even follows up after the transaction is complete, to see if there are any questions. I don't know of any other Home Inspector who does that. I have a pretty good familiarity with construction and defects. I thought the house was in as good a shape as I'd seen. Dave found IMPORTANT defects and maintenance issues that I would not have found until we owned the house, and they became problems. Because of Dave's attention to detail, instincts, curiosity, and thoroughness, the seller agreed to repair all the defects. Before we started house hunting I knew I was going to ask Dave to inspect the house we would decide to buy, because he's great at what he does. Even knowing he'd do a great job, he still exceeded all expectations. Original Review: I can tell you from an insiders point of view, that David is the industry's shining example of what a professional inspector should look like, and how one should go far above and beyond the average customer service practices in the area. Having trained inspectors in the past, I can also tell you that Dave isn't in the business just for a check. He's obsessed with doing right by not only the buyer, but the agent too. Any inspector referred by an agent is a reflection on that agent. And he also realizes that he has a duty to the buyer to do the best job possible. He's exceptional at both these functions. And now that he's hired Joe (a slightly older clone of his), his company is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the area. Dave is the 2nd best inspector I've ever known. But since I'm retired, I can tell you that he's the best ACTIVE one. His prices are in line with the industry, but far far below what he should be charging.
