Awesome! His number will always be in my contacts.
Description of Work: Richard was Amazing! I've been calling him, the "Encyclopedia of Houses". What a education. Thought for sure we had a mold problem. Yes, we have some mold but not anything we can't handle ourselves. He recommended using a non toxic product with a fogger. Our house is from the 50's so things are needing attention. We also got more info and recommendations from Richard on Air Duct cleaning and Drain cleaning. He's the kind of person you will want to turn to when it comes to all home related problems. Love his unbiased inspection. And he has a coupon! Thanks again Richard

Davis Inspection provided a remarkable experience. Rick was thorough and knowledgeable. He went through the property pointing out areas of concern, educating me on items to look for and answering all of my questions. Rick told me that he would look out for me as though I was his daughter, and he did. Although he knew I wanted to purchase this home, he made it a point for me to be educated about what was wrong with the home and he provided his professional opinion in a caring manner. I am so grateful that I was connected to Davis Inspection; I will continue to work with Rick going forward.

I was very thankful, Ric pointed out some gas line leaks I had no idea were present. Getting them fixed immediately. And he gave many other helpful, cost effective solutions to right the home's issues. Much appreciated this!
Description of Work: Ric was thorough, and did it in a time frame that seemed reasonable. Always hire your own home inspector as YOUR advocate. Never pick the one suggested by your realtor. They want to make a sale for their friend and not necessarily disclose the true gravity of a homes condition. You pick, and you pay, so they work for YOU.

It went well. Very thorough and in depth. He had no problem with my father and father in law tagging along. This is my first house and wasn't sure what to expect but he took his time and really looked into everything. He also helped me in evaluating a problem a few weeks later that i discovered after purchase of the home while renovating.

I have owned several homes and had them all inspected but I have never had anyone be as thorough as Davis inspection was...they were on site before me and went back threw and showed me what they had already looked at...showed me stuff that I didn't even notice when we did our initial walk through...did I mention very thorough....Ric treated the inspection as if I were his son looking to buy the house and was very personable...I will never use another company if I have to buy a home again and I would hands down recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home and have it inspected!!!

Such a great experience. My boyfriend and I needed a home inspection done over the weekend (short notice...called on Friday and scheduled for Saturday). Doug came to do the inspection on an older home in Berkley, Michigan. We are first time buyers and this was the first time we went through a home inspection. It was a great experience!! Doug was extremely thorough and pointed out all the "bad" and "good" things to do with the house. He gave suggestions as we went along and helped to prioritize the things he uncovered. Since this was our first time, we were nervous and unsure of how things were going to go. Admittedly, I am very emotional and get stressed easily, especially with such a big investment. Doug was very compassionate and stopped multiple times to make sure we were comfortable continuing the inspection based on what was uncovered. He made sure all of questions, both big and small were answered as they came up. He gave us very sound advice that we were able to trust. It is obvious that he is very knowledgeable, takes his job seriously and cares about providing the best service to his clients. We will be using him in the future and recommending him to our friends and family.

Luckily we had Rick because it didn't go well. That is, the house didn't perform well. It had so many problems, it wasn't worth buying. He was so professional and knowledgable. He treated us like his own kids!

This home will be my third home purchase and Mr. Davis was the most professional inspector with whom I've worked. He was very thorough, and very patiently and thoughtfully answered all of my questions. As a firefighter as well, Mr. Davis also advises of potential fire hazards and prevention. I felt that he was absolutely on the side of the potential homeowner and wanted to ensure that the customers has all information at his/her disposal to make a good decision. As he left, I told him that if I ever need inspection services again, he will be the person I call. I would not hesitate to recommend him or hire him again.

The whole process was excellent! We got a call back right away from Mrs. Davis to arrange our inspection time for just 3 business days out. Mr. Davis was prompt and thorough. He detailed everything he was going to review and prepared us for the realities of inspecting a home built in 1941. He is one of the most knowledgeable, certified, and professional people I have ever met. His report was clear, detailed, and thorough. I love that he highlights issues found based on severity. This really helps prioritize repairs that should be discussed with the sellers. Would highly recommend this man!!!

I hired Rick Davis to conduct a home inspection on a property in Rochester Hills that me and my wife were interested in buying. Rick was timely, he was thorough, and he pointed out in detail the things that would need to be done to the home in both the short and long term. I had hired him previously for a home in West Bloomfield that we ended up walking away from after Rick came out to inspect. We could not be more pleased that we took his advice. He urged us to not get so caught up in the cosmetic details and take notice of things like windows, furnace, roof, siding, and slope of yard - things that could really cost us if they were not in-shape. We purchased the home in Rochester Hills, and just recently moved in. Very pleased with the job that Rick did, and the suggestions and advice that he gave us.

Ric arrived right on time and worked efficiently, but effectively. Ric has a great amount of experience in home inspection and it shows as he walks through the home, picking out any possible areas of concern with ease. His expertise allows him to work quickly, but extremely effectively as he is focused on detail. Ric took the time after the inspection was complete to walk around the entire house with us to go over the highlights of the report, but also explaining what the report would look like as well as the color coding of the report and what it means. He pointed out some of the good parts of the home as well as the concerns. After a detailed walk through and answering all of our questions, Ric sent a detailed 30 page inspection report and a separate file with approximately 150 pictures the next morning before 10 AM for us to review. We would definitely recommend Ric to anyone, especially family or friends, that are looking for a home inspector!

We had an inspection on a fixer upper and boy were we glad to have this father-son team on our side. They were meticulous without being overly worried about minor issues. He told me from the start, he would find issues and would let me know if he would tell his own daughter to walk away. Unfortunately the house has a lot of covered-up issues. Fortunately I had my guys there looking out for me. I'm very grateful for their help and professionalism. Will use again!

I wish I had met Ric Davis before I bought my house 15 years ago! He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient about explaining everything that he's doing and answering every question (and I had many!) I had Ric come out to address a suspected mold issue that arose after my basement flooded. He not only tested the air quality, but also took the time to walk me through several non-mold related issues in my basement (eg, dangerous dryer vent, asbestos tiling, etc.) He promised me he'd be there every step of the way during remediation, AND HE FOLLOWED THROUGH 100 percent! He also gave me the names of several companies he respected to do the basement tear-down (nothing in it for Ric), and guided me through that decision process. He is responsive, professional, caring, and made me feel like my Dad was walking me through the process. I will definitely have Ric back out when I need to prioritize and tackle jobs to get my house ready for sale. Don't hesitate - HIRE RIC DAVIS! He'll do right by you. (I rated his price a C because he is more expensive than others - but he also delivers on quality of service, and doesn't treat clients like a "one and done." I know I can call on him for advice on other upcoming repairs and he'll not only pick up the phone, but give me expert guidance.)

Being my first time hiring a home inspector, I relied on reviews and they did not fail me when I chose Ric Davis to complete my home inspection. Scheduling was easy. He arrived early and from the start told me he would be looking at the house as if I were his daughter, would he be comfortable with her buying this house, and that meant a lot to me. He went through everything in detail with me, answering all my questions of which I had many as a first time home buyer. I received the report in advance of the expected time frame and it was very clear and easy to understand. He has been available for follow up questions and even provided contacts for further investigation needed for some areas. I would definitely recommend Ric to my friends and family, and will no doubt hire him in the future when I need inspection services.
