Craig is great! This is the third time I work with him. Craig is very professional and knowledgeable to check all details and explain to me. During the inspection, he is patient to answer my questions and provide suggestions. He completed the inspection report the next day and the report shows detailed description and pictures. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience working with Davis Inspection Services. From working with Cathy to schedule my inspection, having the inspection by Craig, and receiving the full inspection report in a timely manner, the whole process was great. Craig came out to do the inspection and I was extremely impressed. His thoroughness, honesty, and advice made me feel at ease as a first time homebuyer. My agent was impressed by his services, too! Grateful to have found such an awesome company and will be calling them again if I need additional inspection services in the future.

We hired Davis Inspection Services to perform an inspection on a house we were purchasing. They performed a very thorough inspection and gave us a very detailed, easy to follow report. Both inspectors that were on-site at the time of the inspection made sure to point out little details and explain to us what they were doing and why they were doing it. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Davis Inspection to anyone looking for a home inspection.

We had a home inspection done by Ric Davis and Craig Wojcik of Davis Inspection. Ric and Craig provided exemplary service. They were punctual, personal, patience, and very professional. They demonstrated that they were very knowledgeable, experienced, and took pride in their work. We received a timely objective detailed report with pictures. Work that possibly needed a more professional specialized analysis was pointed out. Cost-effective ways were suggested to resolve some issues. Without any reservations, I would use and recommend Davis Inspection

We really enjoyed working with Davis Inspection. Doug was efficient and very communicative. He was also very kind and helpful. I felt comfortable asking his opinion about several things and reaching out after our inspection and he was honest and reassuring.

Ric and Craig were amazing! Extremely thorough, professional and knowledgeable. The written report was extremely detailed and had lots of pictures. I'd hire them again in an instant! And a big shout out to Cathy who was wonderful. If I could give them 10 stars I would! :)

A friend referred us to Davis Inspection Services to perform an inspection on a house we were about to buy. I placed the call to set up an appointment and was greeted on the phone by Cathy (not an automated menu, but one of the owners!), who was professional, yet made you feel like family (she was so friendly and helpful). She set up the inspection appointment for us and sent all of the info we would need. Doug was the assigned inspector, who was on-time, professional (yet friendly), and had extensive knowledge and experience. He sent us a complete, detailed report the very next morning, and was available to answer a follow-up question that we had. First impressions are the most important, and this company was 5-star all the way. If you're looking for an inspection service that is highly qualified, reliable, and trustworthy, Davis Inspection Services is the place to go!

Inspector was very knowledgable but had my daughter take all notes and pictures and indicated that no report would be made unless additional payment was made and then all notes and pictures had to be turned over to the company to do this. He was just there to tell her what needed attention and that was it. I have had several inspections for new construction in my time and never have I come across this type of service or lack thereof. I may the mistake of using Angie's List to find a top rated company for my daughter but this company by no means meets that criteria in my opinion. They will not be used now for the final inspection.

I am pleased that you found the inspector knowledgeable and he was able to assist your daughter with her Pre Drywall Inspection. His extensive background and experience has helped tens of thousands of clients over the past 35+ years. I do aplogize that there was confusion over our pricing structure which was explained at the time of scheduling. I personally spoke with yor daughter, April, when she called to inquire about our services and ultimately schedule her inspection. I explained that on New Construction inspections we charge an hourly rate. We discussed the options available, the first being 1 hour on site and a 2nd hour in the office to construct her report or the less expensive option of 1 hour on site with her following the inspector and taking notes herself. I explained that if she did want a report, the report would be prepared the next day. The inspection was scheduled for the same day as the builder walk thru and April chose the latter option of taking notes as the inspector walked her thru and explained in detail his findings. When the inspector arrived April had a different understanding of what the fees would be which tells me that I probably did not explain the fee schedule adequately enough to her. April still chose the verbal onsite option and came prepared to take notes. Not wanting to rush, the inspector did stay over the hour, at no additional charge, to make sure that April had the information she needed to give the builder during her walk thru. We have fabulous reviews and have received the Angie's List Super Service Award 8 years in a row because our reputation is important to us. I apologize again that there was confusion about our price structure on my part. I will certainly take this information and apply it in my future conversations with New Construction clients. The inspector told your daughter that she could call him anytime in the course of the completion of the construction with questions at no additional charge. That offer still stands. Respectfully, CathyScott H.

Davis inspection is professional and respectful. They went through every detail as they went through the house and were honest about what to expect. Also they answered all my questions and are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Richard Davis and Davis Inspection Services. I am relocating to Michigan for my job and purchasing a home in an area I am unfamiliar with and have only seen once in person. Richard Davis was recommended by a friend for my home inspection which i was unable to attend (I'm in Texas). Ric introduced himself via voicemail before the inspection began and went over what he would be doing in great detail, once completed he called to inform me the inspection would be ready for my review that evening. The inspection that i received went above and beyond and is the most in depth of any inspection I've ever received in the four states and ten homes I've purchased. I was provided with an inspection and a file of photos to coincide with the information was provided in the report. Ric had offered to answer any questions i had about the report and spent quite a bit of time on the phone patiently answering any questions I had after i received the report. His inspection has really helped to make the decision on purchasing a home pretty much sight unseen so much easier. I highly recommend this company and will be using them and recommending them to anyone who needs a highly qualified, reputable inspector.

Excellent!!! From the phone call to schedule the appointment to the inspection itself . I can not thank Ric Davis enough for doing a most in depth inspection and finding issues with our home , current and future ones brewing . While we had an inspection before we purchased our home over 20 years ago this inspection was far superior to the other one . Not even close ! He put up a Drone to look at the roof , a Robot to took at crawl space . So very thorough. My husband and I were quite amazed at Ric’s knowledge of the things that were issues and the remedy for them . The whole experience culminated the next morning in an email with a detailed pdf report , that also gave a roadmap on which issues need attention first , and another pdf with lots photos depicting all issues found . So in my opinion if your in need of a inspection for your home, (and at this point I think a good idea to find hidden issues.) I can tell you you probably won’t find better than Ric Davis . A plus is he is not only a certified inspector , but holds a building license.! Oh reasonable cost too . Depends on square footage of home. Thanks Ric , Georgia Rosen

We had Davis Inspection Service do a whole house inspection on our 1950’s home . Which I would highly suggest . We wanted to know if there were hidden maintenance problems lurking. Also trying to find out what was causing the issues with our windows.

Ric and Craig were beyond helpful. They answered all of our questions (there were a lot) and did a very thorough job. As this is our first time buying a house, we were not sure what to expect but they walked us through the process and made their observations easy for us to understand. We will definitely recommend them to anyone we know purchasing a home.

Doug's attention to detail was great and he identified numerous structural issues that would have been extremely costly to correct. He never made us feel stupid for not seeing these things on our walk-thru, instead he educated us on what to look for so we can make better decisions next time. He was great to work with and well worth the cost! He saved her from purchasing a money pit. We will definitely use him again when we find the next "perfect" house.

I highly recommend Ric Davis! He truly took so much care in completing the inspection. As a first time home buyer, I really did not have a great amount of knowledge in this area and I could not be more thankful that I had Ric there to help. Ric treated me like family. His advice and guidance was invaluable and cannot be beat. -Brooke S.

I felt that my home inspection was done professionally. The inspectors were kind and knowledgeable. They let me know all that was wrong with the home and what is most important to be fixed. I am glad I went with this company for home inspection and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of home inspection.

I was so anxious as a first-time home buyer. Doug and Craig were EXTREMELY THOROUGH through the process. They arrived before me and were very professional. I walked behind them as they inspected and they were patient and answered all of my questions (and I had a lot). My report included lots of pictures. This was such a teaching moment for me and I am glad that I chose them to do my inspection. I highly recommend and I will certainly use them for any future needs of mine. Thank you again!!!

An excellent experience. Inspector showed up early and had already done the external inspection when we arrived. Went through every issue and answered every questions. Amazing level of attention to detail. Clearly differentiated between things to ask seller to do, things to pay attention to and things to know about. Written report was detailed and comprehensible. Would definitely recommend.

A friend recommended Davis Inspection to us, we worked with Doug Davis for our inspection. Highly recommend! During the appointment Doug walked us thru the entire home, explaining everything that he was including in his report and answering all our question as we went. He then provided a complete report (with pictures) which allowed us to confidently negotiate the proper price the home. We close next week!!

It went pretty good. The home owners weren't happy with the results and thought my inspector was exaggerating, and thought that he didn't know what he was talking about even with his photos to prove the problems. Some was minor, but the black mold and pest problem helped Us walk away from the home. The money spent was worth it.
