this one. He spent a lot of time with us and this was money well
spent. He did not overlook one thing and inspected many things I
did'nt even realize home inspectors bothered looking at. A better job
could not have been done. We very much appreciate Michael's knowledge
and the customized brochure detailing the inspection and the colored
photos were helpful as well. He is simply the best. He abviously

"Michael, this home inspection was for a home my 70 year old
parents were going to buy. You saved them from making the
biggest mistake of their lives. The leaks in the roof and water
damage in the walls would have cost them a small fortune that they
don't have at their age. That was negative thing about this house
that the untrained eyes never saw. The owner claimed that was a new
roof as of 2002, obviousely that was a lie. I was able to see a lot
of issues with the roof that just fixing it was NOT enough, which is
what they wanted to do. The pictures were very helpful to see that
fixing or repairing didn't work before. Thank you so very much for
being so great at what you do!! I would always recommend a home
inspection for anyone buying a home and you would be the one I
recommend. Anytime you need a reference, don't hesitate to use me or
even the property as an example of what can happen without an
inspection." Thanks again, Donna & Linda

"This is our 4th property purchased, so we are no stranger to
the importance of a good & thorough, accurate home inspection.
this was however our first out of state property purchased so we were
definitely concerned. Mike relieved all our concerns, his
thoroughness & accuracy were something we had not seen on our
previous 3 purchases, which we actually attended. The photos with
their descriptions was as close to putting us with him at the
inspection. mike did not stop there, he was available to us after the
inspection to discuss at length (and I mean "at length")
his findings & the report. I don't think we would have been able
to complete our purchase with such piece of mind without
Mike." Dr. Charlie Olono 630-310-7800
