Most inspection firms do the bare minimum. We include services as standard that others charge extra for — or simply don't offer. See the difference for yourself.
Client Reviews
David Fairbairn was by far the best home inspector I have ever had the pleasure to hire — not only punctual, knowledgeable, and very thorough, but also very patient.
Your knowledge base, attention to detail and professionalism is by far the best that I have seen in the industry. Every realtor should know your name.
David found things I never would have spotted on my own. The thermal imaging alone was worth every penny — there was hidden moisture behind the master bath wall.
