Ken was very thorough and educational and a pleasure to work with! He took his time to make sure we didn’t have any questions by the time we left and explained everything that he noticed clearly. I would recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection! Very friendly!

Mr. Rowe is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and thorough! I have no more questions in my mind about the purchase. He was there early, had lots of professional grade equipment for various testing. He was clean, dressed for the job, and displaying credentials. I cannot speak enough about his professionalism! I have dealt with so many “less than professional” people while dealing with homes/construction/purchasing/etc. Ken answered ALL of my questions with confidence. He was very patient while I asked about two million questions. The appointment was scheduled for three hours, yet he did not seem hurried to leave. He stayed and talked with us until we were satisfied with our understanding of all of the information presented. I am amazed at how many small concerns he was able to find. He made sure to present his findings in a way that show the level of importance, from minor annoyance/superficial all the way to major safety concern. A++++++! Hire this guy, you will not be disappointed!

Extremely well. Ken was very diligent and performed a detailed inspection. The level of detail in the report Ken provided is the best I have ever seen. The pictures were clear as were the accompanying descriptions. Ken not only detailed issues but also gave indications as to the level of severity and needed interventions.

Ken was very professional and knowledgeable. I have attended many inspections as a agent and Ken appeared to have more knowledge of construction and code violations than others I've seen. He also is not an alarmist on issues that are minor.
Description of Work
Ken performed a home inspection on a home we wanted to purchase. He did a wonderful job explaining the issues he found that were not something I would've noticed. He also did a good job of telling us what was an easy fix, items that were not to code and performed a radon test.

I had a wonderful experience with Ken for a home inspection. He was very professional and thorough. He took his time going through the entire place and was happy to answer any questions. I felt very comfortable that I was getting a quality home inspection done. The report I received was very detailed and helpful. Ken repeatedly asked if I had any questions about anything during the inspection, which I appreciated, and told me to not hesitate to call if I thought of any questions or concerns after the fact. I would definitely recommend Ken for a home inspection and will use him again if and when the time comes.

I had Ken perform a second home inspection because I had second thoughts about the inspector my agent recommended. He left no stone unturned and drew my attention to a few issues that the previous report downplayed. He explained the reason for the kitchen and bathroom floor cracks as well as bulging wall. Ken was thorough and punctual and I will use his services again.

Excellent experience & service! Scheduling the inspection was easy, by phone on a Sunday evening. We made a mid-week appointment and attended the full inspection. Ken was professional, thorough, and informative. His in-person summary and the formal report were both very well-organized, separating crucial action items from general or longer term observations and suggestions for repairs, upgrades, and maintenance. He was also responsive to our follow-up questions by phone as we negotiated with the sellers. This is exactly what we were looking for in an inspector, and would hire him again and recommend him to friends.

Overall, we are pleased with Ken's work. He is very thorough with the work and he explains what he's looking for as he walks through the house with us. The written report was received immediately after the service.

Ken came highly recommended from our Realtor but the decision to use him came from his business being here on Angies List. His inspection price was better than ALL other inspectors we received quotes from and it was money WELL spent. I highly recommend this inspector to anyone looking for exceptional service. We will not hesitate to call him again as we search for our new home.
Description of Work
This business is very professional, they were available when we needed, confirmed appt by email and Ken showed up on time and ready to go. He was very thorough and spent over 3 hours on the inspection. Ken is very friendly, answered every question and was extremely patient with us as first time home buyers. He took many pictures and provided a very detailed report which he catagorized as items that needed immediate attention to items that we just needed to be aware of. The report was delivered within an hour of our inspection ending. In the end we did not purchase the home as he found a serious Carbon monoxide leak, a floor joist that removed to make way for duct work that was not up to code. A leaking roof from a shoddy air conditioning job, incorrect wiring in the electrical panel, improper landscaping that could lead to flooding, leaking pipes, a deck that was not up to code among many others. The entire home was inspected from the outside, deck, landscaping, roof, siding, inside the garage, attic and the entire inside of the home down to the garbage disposal. Radon Test in the basement.

Mr. Rowe called before arriving on the scheduled day to confirm a specific time of arrival. When he arrived I gave a brief summary of my concerns. An examination of the roof by climbing onto it was completed including pictures of areas needing repair. After inspection I was given a laptop slideshow of the pictures with a detailed explanation of the types of repairs needed. He asked several times if I had additional questions. Later the same day he emailed me the inspection report. He asked to be contacted with any follow up questions.
