Allen was hands down excellent!!. Timely, thorough, and excellent communicator. Even my friends and family commented on how wonderful and easy to read the final report was. Everything is explained plainly and there are photos of everything which was so awesome b/c it's just far too much to remember. Allen is a very even keel, mature professional. Just the kind of person you need looking out for your best interest when making the biggest purchase of your life. You are in great hands with Allen and RI Real Estate Inspection Services, LLC.

Allen was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. He was able to show me the real state of the house I was buying. His report was clear and detailed, which helped me remember all of the information he had shared about the house at the time of the inspection. This is now invaluable as I make upgrades and improvements to my new home. I highly recommend Allen for a home inspection.

He too his time doing the paperwork. Did not do it the same day. He also played down some of the very same flaws he wrote on the report in front of the seller, which I did not like one bit at all.

Josh was very thorough and explained everything he was doing. The custermer service was first class. He spent 3 hours going through the house and showed me ways I could save money by doing some things myself and what needed a professional to repair.

Allen was very professional and thorough in his evaluation of a property I am planning to purchase-- even informing us about water drainage issues on the property that need to be addressed. He answered all our questions.

Allen was incredibly professional & thorough not only in his inspection but also informative about the process before, during and after. As a first-time home buyer, I felt reassured reading the report as he didn't miss a thing. He was very helpful and I would absolutely use him again and refer my friends to him.

If you need to hire a home inspector then go with Allen Potter from RI Real Estate Inspection Services, LLC. Within minutes of submitting my job inquiry, Allen called to speak with me. What really impressed me is that Allen was very accommodating with his scheduling, which was a huge help to us, due to our need for a couple other professionals to be there at the same time. His pricing was also excellent and much lower than I expected! In regards to the home inspection, Allen was professional and very thorough with his inspection and answered all questions that I had. This was our 3rd home inspection over the last few years and I wish we had used Allen for the other two. His report was by far the most in-depth that I have seen, which has given me that extra level of confidence with purchasing our home. For anyone needing an inspection, I would advise you to call Allen from RI Real Estate Inspection Services, LLC.

Response from RI Real Estate Inspection Services
"When you are a contractor that strives for perfection and has a history of receiving ratings of 5 across the board, it is upsetting when a rating of less than 5 is received. At your earliest opportunity, please let me know when my services fell short of your expectations where a rating of 5 was not deserved."

Allen was extremely thorough when performing our house inspection. He is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to a family or friend for their inspection. We received the results of the inspection the same day it was completed! He takes many pictures and will explain along the way exactly what he is doing and what he sees. Allen is also very friendly and it was a pleasure to have him handle our inspection!!

Allen came out yesterday for a home inspection. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable providing great feedback. He was very thorough and made the overall process as stress-free as possible. He has a schedule convenient for individuals who work Mon-Fri and would prefer to not have to take time out of work. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection.
