Very thourough

Not only were areas of concern reported but good explanations of the potential areas that might need remediation by the seller before finalizing the sale. Well worth the money.

Patrick is simply the best inspector out there. He took 5 hours on the first house and 6 on the second, carefully inspecting everything and teaching me as he went along. As a first time homebuyer, I found his knowledge invaluable, not just about what to look for, but even how to run a house (e.g., he showed me how to change the filter for my water softener). He was friendly through the entire process. The reports I received for both houses were extremely detailed, providing a great "big picture" analysis of problems (including pictures), but also the minor things anyone would want to know. I have lived in my home for about a month now and NOTHING has surprised me (including comments from contractors and other serviceman) thanks to Patrick. I cannot recommend his services enough!

Patrick Lyons does an extremely thorough home inspection and has an amazing eye, nose and ear for catching details. We wanted somebody that would take whatever time was needed to give us complete inspection and he did. Several inspectors talked about doing the place in under 4 hours, and there is no way they would've caught as many of the items. He made it very easy for us to consider which items the seller should resolve and which ones should be apart of our new "to do" list. Just a few points I appreciated:- he climbed the roof and really inspected its condition- he went into the attic and looked at insulation, venting, wiring, etc.- he dove into the crawl spaces to make sure all was well- he critiqued the building materials and techniques- he gave his opinion on quality materials used in construction vs low-end - he caught a CRITICAL flaw in the furnace venting that I feel most wouldn't have noticed- he used a electronic radon tester, not the cheap chemicals. This is our second home. The first time, the inspector we hired was no where nearly as effective. If you're making a huge investment in a property, don't go cheap on the inspection! His advise on home-improvements for maintainability, safety and resale are worth it.

He was supposed to show up at 11:00, but he called 20 minutes early to say that he was already there and asked if he could get started. He had all of the necessary equipment and did a very thorough job, spending even more time than was expected of him in inspecting the house. Even though her spent so much time on this house, he only charged me for the hours that I asked from him. The report he put together was detailed. Everything he did was superb.

I was flying into the Detroit area and needed a Time of Sale inspection completed upon short notice. Patrick Lyons provided detailed information on the procedures, fees and requirements up-front. The inspection was completed on a Sunday afternoon to accomodate my schedule. Results of water tests were filed and reported in a timely manner. Communication by phone and email was ongoing throughout the process. I was most impressed with the professionalism of Patrick Lyons and care given to accomodate the client's needs.

absolutely excellent!! Pat arrived on time with all the appropriate equipment, he was very thorough in his inspection and stuck to his original estimated cost. he explained everything to me and answered all my questions. he also gave me a printed electronic copy of my inspection report and emailed it to me. he even followed up after the inspection on some unresolved well and septic issues. knew the neighborhood and other intricacies that only an experienced inspector would know.

patrick arrived on time with all the appropriate equipment, he performed a thorough home inspection and pest inspection, focusing on areas that could be safety concerns (fire hazards, window escapes etc). also did a radon test and when he returned to pick up the radon meter he capped an unsafe gas line for no extra charge. very friendly and experienced home inspector who really treated me like i was a family member buying a home.

Patrick quoted ?more than five hours? for the inspection, and it was. We have had occasion to move often and Patrick?s was the most thorough inspection we have ever had. He has a builder?s background and is very knowledgeable. He claims to be independent, and I believe he is. He worked in our interest, pointing out and explaining much ? the good as well as the bad. When we sat down later to review the report, we felt we had the proper information to confidently proceed with the house buying process.

I was buying a foreclosed house, so the home inspection was my only opportunity to get information about the house. Patrick arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. and spent seven hours with me at the house, literally crawling it from the rooftop to the floor of the basement. He pointed out several things I had missed in my own review of the property -- such as hairline cracks in the foundation on two walls, lack of tempered glass in some of the doors and windows, the garage door automatic operator being unsafe, mouse walking trails in the attic, etc -- as well as seven pages of additional details. Not only did Patrick make a point of educating me about why problems were problems, he also taught me how to change the furnace filter, shut off the water, cycle the electric breakers, and much more. Though seven hours may seem excessive, at the end of our day I knew much more about the property than I did at the start. I really appreciated his thoroughness.
