M & T Inspection Services

Troy Hicks performed our home inspection and was very polite, knowledgeable and thorough. They also provided us a detailed report including pictures. We would recommend his service to others, and would use him again in the future. Thank you for making this process easy and painless!

Troy is out-going and very professional. Started talking with him and told him I was retired military and he gave me a discount. He told me the Installers did a great job with the roof. He checked in roof attic to make sure nails stuck through the appropriate length and walked the roof to view the job they did. I would recommend him to anyone.

The price was fine. There are just some things that may not have been able to have been caught in an inspection so it might not be his fault.

Troy was great; showed up right on time and was extremely careful and methodical throughout the entire inspection. Walked us through every little detail, explaining which things were major concerns and which things could probably wait. Very thorough, checking every bit of the house, including scouring the attic, walking on the roof, and inspecting for pests. Also gave some pointers on how to service/maintain many of the large appliances properly. Inspection report was very detailed with photos and thorough explanation of findings, delivered the very next evening.

Troy did a great job on my home inspection. He took his time to check everything out and explain different things along the way. He was easy to schedule with and arrived on time. I would definitlely recommend him to anyone in need of a home inspection.

Troy was very responsive and very professional. He was also incredibly thorough and patient. He had to come back a few days later as the water wasn't on in the home as promised on the day of the inspection. He explained a lot about how things worked in the home as well. He carried a flashlight, had a ladder and tools to be sure to leave no stone unturned. He left no nook or cranny uninspected, including crawling under sinks, following lines to beginnings and ends, and flushing toilets and running water in more than one bathroom for a while to ensure we had good water pressure and heat. He spent close to 3 between 3-4 hours the first day and definitely noticed things we would not have noticed, saving us money and trouble down the road for sure. It was well worth it, and we would highly recommend Troy to anyone looking to have their home inspected!

Tim was very responsive from the very beginning when I called to get more information. We communicated by both phone and text messaging. Tim scheduled the inspection for the same week that I called. He arrived 20 minutes early and had completed the inspection of the roof by the time we arrived although it was a rainy and windy day. Tim explained everything to us and was very willing to answer all of our questions. We felt that he took his time and did a very thorough inspection. Tim identified several areas of the house that needed repairs or that needed additional maintenance for safety purposes. The cost of the inspection was much lower than other places that I called, even though it was a larger sized house. Tim provided the inspection report within 48 hours. The 48 hour radon inspection was also helpful and did reveal high radon levels.

This was a home inspection for my son's first home purchase, and Troy was patient and explained how things worked and what kinds of things to watch out for and generally great new homeowner information. The inspection was very thorough - Troy took his time and was not rushed. We were very pleased.

Troy was fantastic! He was on time and professional throughout the entire inspection. He did a wonderful job of explaining any issues he found no matter how small the problem. Troy was very thorough! I would definitely use his services again.

I would highly recommend M&T Home Inspection. We hadn't bought a home in 13 years, so lots of things have changed. Not only was Troy informative and knowledgable, but patient and genuinely interested in homes being safe and inspected thoroughly. I picked him because of Angie's List reviews, and because he is certified by ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) Troy was just a couple of minutes (really--less than five) late because of the weather (it was poor), but called in advance to let us know he was on his way. I gave him an "A" on punctuality for that reason, he communicated his very brief delay as soon as possible. Troy went through the home with us, explaining every item he found, and offered lots of extremely helpful tips on home maintenance as he went over the hot water heater, furnace, etc. He showed us several operations we weren't aware of on the systems in the home, and answered every one of our questions. He seems extremely knowledgeable about builders, codes, and even general "oddities" that will pop up over the life of a home as it ages, and gave us tips on what to keep an eye out for if we had any concerns. He did find a few safety issues, (one of which was a *broken* main ground wire from the house!) which we are having rectified before closing. We felt no stone was left unturned, but do not feel like he wasted any time. He was efficient, and thoughtful in his work. We received the whole report the very next day, which was detailed and included all photos of any issues found. He said if we have any questions, *ever,* about the report or the survey, to give him a call. Our realtor, who had not worked with Troy before, but was present at the inspection said, "This company is going on my recommendation list! This guy is good!" He's worked with a lot of inspectors, so I consider this high praise as well! Overall, great experience. Thanks, Troy! Can't wait to get moved into the new place!

Troy was punctual, thorough, and very informative. We are first time home buyers, and Troy took time to not only thoroughly inspect the home, but to explain things to us about the HVAC, sump pumps, etc as we haven't owned before. The inspection report was detailed, well documented, and ready before 8am the very next day. He gave us confidence that we are making a sound purchase and requested the proper items on our inspection response to the sellers. We chose Troy not only because he was highly-rated on the Angie's List, but by word of mouth as well. I would not hesitate to recommend M & T Inspection Services to anyone.

Troy was on time. he kept me informed of everything he was doing and showed me how to service different things in the house. And gave me good advice! Thanks Troy.

Troy is very professional and knowledgeable to work with. He was easy to get in touch with in the beginning and was very flexible in fitting us in right away. He went through the house and made recommendations for cosmetic improvements as well as for any safety and structural issues. His full inspection details were delivered next day and looked very professional and thorough. He went above and beyond, contacting the selling agent to discuss discrepancies found during the inspection. I would recommend him to anyone!

I went to the M&T website where I requested a phone call for the purpose of setting up an appointment. Troy returned my call the same day and an appointment was set for later that week. Unfortunately he had some subsequent technical problems, so we had to re-schedule for the following week. He arrived promptly at the scheduled time, introduced himself and asked me a number of questions about the house. I then "turned him loose" to do the interior and exterior inspection. He was here for nearly three hours and asked me a few other questions as the inspection proceeded. When he was finished he went over the findings with us (which were thankfully few) and I paid him $300 (he indicated that this was an Angie's List discount from the "usual price" of $350 for this size house). Within two days he emailed me an extremely detailed report which included numerous photographs and explanations (this report was 29 pages). All in all I thought that the whole thing went exceptionally well. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a home inspection.

Everything was great. Troy was prompt and professional. He advised us on the issue we were having, as well as making several other suggestions to help us sell our home. His insights were very valuable in helping us make a repair decision.

Troy was very knowledgeable about new construction homes. He took the time to explain safety, maintenance, and "reasons why" for many aspects of the home. As first-time builders, we appreciated the patience with which he answered all of our questions. The report provided was thorough and easy to understand. Would definitely recommend for others looking for a home inspector!

Troy provided an excellent home inspection service at a reasonable rate. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. I contacted a few home inspectors, but found Troy to the most professional, combined with his credentials posted on his website. His website is extremely thorough and full of helpful links. After having more than a few experiences with home inspectors, I found Troys level of home inspection experience to exceed my expectations. He met us at the house on time, meticulously went through and tested all of the mechanicals, completed moisture test readings on any water detected areas, checked all the electrical components, walked the steep pitches of the roof, checked all windows and hardware, tested plumbing and all other random areas of the home. He took his time and did not rush to complete. During and after the inspection process, he pointed out all areas of concern and completed a very professional report, complete with pictures of any defects that were discovered. The report was completed with 24 hours and Troy met all of our expectations. We would highly recommend Troy, with M & T Inspection Services to anyone considering a very comprehensive home inspection.

I had been in my home 10 yrs and just wanted to have it evaluated to assist in prioritizing repairs and upgrades. Troy replied to my online request for service from his family vacation and offered to recommend another vendor if i needed the home evaluation prior to his return. I did not and we scheduled the appointment via mail for a couple of days following his return. Troy was running a bit behind on the morning of our appointment but called to let me know. He arrived and quickly got to work evaluating my home, inside and out. While he would be putting together a full report, he took time to show me areas for concern that would be noted on the report. I received the full report 3 days later and was very impressed with the detail. Troy also included information materials on a gas line needing to be grounded and (per my request) contractors who could do some of the work needing to be done. Additionally, he indicated he could provide a letter to my insurance company if needed supporting hail damage on my roof. I was very pleased with the experience and feel the money was well spent. I'm already working down the list of repairs to be made and glad to be reassured that my house is in good shape!

Troy Hicks arrived on time. He inspected the home and explained everything that he found as he went. He also advised us on maintenance of certian items for when we own the home. He was very thorough and professional. The report that we received was also thorough and complete with photos that were very clear.

Troy was very knowledgable about every area of the home. I would recommend him to anyone needing a thorough home inspection. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is very honest and trustworthy..things that can be hard to find these days!

The inspector showed up on time and was a thorough professional. Information was easily obtainable and was understandable. The inspector did a great job and I would recommend to others to use his services.

Troy performed a home inspection on a large, 5-bedroom new construction (spec) home. Troy was competent, reasonably priced, and he provided a comprehensive 38-page inspection report with pics shortly after his inspection. I'm confident Troy's service paid for itself instantly. We were able to get the builder to address all of the problem items noted in Troy's report prior to closing. Thanks, Troy, for your expertise! We're happy our realtor pointed us in your direction!

Troy performed a thorough home inspection and provided a detailed report the following day. He is a very nice and I was very happy with this work.

We were very pleased with M and T Inspections Services. When Troy inspected the house, he was thoroughly professional. He was kind and sparked conversation with us and led us through every concern he had as well as good thoughts he had about the house while doing the inspection. He gave us thorough details on the minor and major concerns with the home. I could tell by the extensive explanation and knowledge that he had about the different functions of the house that he has great experience and background. It was helpful that he didn't give us false claims. He was very honest as he shared what he did and did not know. All the while, though, he had a lot of understanding about the types of concerns to be on the lookout for. I was particularly amazed at just so many, to me, trivial details that he pointed out as issues needing to be addressed in the home. I could tell he worked very hard to try and find as many flaws or good qualities of the home as he could. He spent several hours in the home and he explained every problem to us. He gave us, also, some great recommendations of places to hire as we need to go further in our inspection of the home. He also gave us personal, heartfelt suggestions due to his experience and background. We felt he made good rapport with us as well and we would certainly not hesitate to hire him again with our next home. And as I spoke with other friends buying homes, his price seemed to be lower than other inspectors around the city. I would definitely recommend Troy to others.

He was very informative and very easy to talk to.
