Client Testimonials

 

“Gary Thank you so much for coming back again to check on the well.  Your excellent inspection has helped us immensely as we have concluded the negotiations regarding the property with the seller.  We hope to close at the end of the month and start the long process of getting the old house back in shape again.  Can't wait!  If you ever need a letter of reference from a client, I am your man.  It is so rare to have such professional, thorough, and go-the-second-mile work done these days.  Many thanks! Your friend,”

 “Gary, The seller had someone tear out the paneling in the basement area on the north wall, and it was in worse shape than I could have imagined. There was obvious deflection of the wall inward, open cracks over 1/4" wide and complete deterioration of most of the wall framing. The entire north wall and possibly the east wall will need to be replaced. The leakage has been going on for quite a few years, and has obviously been an ongoing problem for the owner. Kathy and I cannot thank you enough for helping us avoid what would have been a very large mistake.”

     Mike K

“Thanks for your very thorough report, Gary.  Now we know what we need to do.  I just got back home from Indiana tonight (Sat).  I couldn't really view the pages very well on my iPhone so I just forwarded your email and attachments to Bill so we could discuss it over the phone and decide what we wanted to do about the purchase.  We decided to let it go forward as it.  We're going to replace the septic tank and take care of the other smaller repairs in the spring.  It's very reassuring to know there aren't any really major problems with the cabin. Again, thank you so much for doing this so quickly.  We really appreciate it, and I'm sure the sellers did too since they wanted to leave for AZ. Enjoy the fall!”

“HI Gary, Had you ever inspected that place before?  I sent the e-mail with attachments to Peggy saying too many critical and semi critical items that I'm not going through with this deal.  A lady I work with, her mother lives near Eau Claire in a bi level home and  had to have walls taken down as to rotten/mildew drywall and major digging up around house to pitch the ground away from house--6 mths of work. There is a better home on Perch Lake that appears to be better for 229,000. Thank You for your quality report and I most likely will be using your service in future.   Sincerely,”

      "I would like to extend a big thank-you to one of your employees. His mane is Gary Roholt. He did the inspection on the home I am buying. Not only was this step a new experience for me but at present I am about 1,400 miles away. Mr. Roholt took the time to answer my many questions and explained things so clear and simple and really made everything easy to understand. Mr. Roholt treated me with the top of the line respect. Gary made this hudge step very smooth to make. If I come across anyone that would need the service of your CO., your name and Mr. Roholt would be at the top of the list. Please pass on my thanks to Mr. Roholt. Really was clear to me that he knew his job and did it well. Sincerely,"
