Walked us through the home and pointed out a lot of things that we had not noticed on our initial walk through of the home. Provided us with an extensive booklet complete with pictures and explanations of what he saw and what he recommended us getting fixed before purchasing. Helped with the final negotiations of the price of our home.

I am an agent. He has preformed a number of inspections for various buyers. Always does a great job!!!

The buyers of my home used Bill for their home inspection of my home.  I was impressed by his report, so I used him for the home I was purchasing.  He did an excellent job and provided a thorough report that we used as negotiating tool.  His inspection uncovered a major problem, which ended up saving us over $8000.  Bill also went above and beyond working through the issues we had.  I have recommended Bill and would not hesitate to do it again.

He was prompt, thorough, pointed out both issues with my home as well as things that I should look out for as far as where areas were to be more likely to have wear and tear. He was incredibly knowledgeable. I received my report the next day and he was fantastic!

Bill is very personable as well as highly knowledgeable and ethical. I have used him for 2 home inspections in both 2014 and 2015. Each time, I followed him around during a very involved home inspection, he took the time to point out items of concern or interest and provided an explanation and patiently answered my questions. He provided an extensive online report that included many pictures then followed up a few days later to see if I had any questions. Since then, he has made recommendations for tradespeople for repairs needed after I requested them from him. Overall, he is outstanding. I highly recommend him and I would certainly use him again.

Bill is a very professional inspector in both appearance and knowledge that takes his time with you and explains everything in great detail. He showed up on time and the best part is that he is just as big a perfectionist as I am. I would highly recommend him.

Bill was very professional setting up the home inspection. He was prompt and courteous the whole time. His inspection was VERY thorough and helpful. He took lots of pictures and gave great advice. Highly recommend using him for your home inspection!

Bill is really knowledgeable and took the time to show us any concerns while at the house. He managed expectations ahead of time, letting us know that the inspection would take about 3 hours to complete. He brought his computer, camera and took notes while at the house, so that once complete he could send us a full report of his findings. He asked for an allowance of 24 hours to send the report to us after the inspection, and he did not disappoint.
Once the inspection was finished, Bill sent us an electronic, easy to read report that highlighted the findings (with images) that he felt MUST be fixed, along with any minor red flags or issues that we should be aware of. Nothing in the report came as a surprise, since he took us through any major red flags and pointed issues out while we were all at the house. His findings helped us to create an educated list that we could then send back to the homeowners with our "demands" before the sale of the house was final.
He was recommended to us by friends who had recently purchased a home in Bay Village, so they had shared with us what he charged them. When Bill said he charged $350 for his services, I questioned the cost, since he had charged our friends less 6 months prior. Bill patiently explained that he had assessed the time he was spending out at each home, and recently had raised the price because he had calculated that his time was worth more. This was understandable and I still found the price of inspection to be fair, especially if he was as thorough and knowledgeable as our friends had said. Total charges were as follows: $350 for basic inspection, $150 for Radon testing, $285 for well and septic.
I have since recommended Bill to a co-worker, who has used him numerous times during their long house hunt.

He was great, he was very punctual, it was right before New Year and he fit me in, the weather was horrible but he still made it out and did a great job. He was very thorough, lots of pictures and information, he made sure I understood everything and great follow up, it was excellent. I thought the price was reasonable.

Bill did an amazing job inspecting the home we are buying. The attention to detail and thoroughness provided was astonishing. Bill's knowledge of construction and all home systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.) is really something you have to experience if you are in the process of buying a home.
The 34 page report we received the same day, which included captioned photos, was amazingly detailed. I was with Bill during every second of the inspection at his urging, and there were photos and pages of information about areas of the house that I don't even recall going through. It was a very educational experience and you will be left with information necessary to not only make a wise buying decision, but information that will keep your home in great shape for years to come.
Bill is very serious about his work, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a home inspection.

I did some bartering with him on the price. He is very honest, very thorough, and very knowledgeable. He provides great customer service. His work is of very high quality. He wants more for me than I want for myself. He goes above and beyond. He did some barter work for me. He did things that I didn't even ask him to do. He worked harder than he had to just because he wants things to be done very well.
