Chris is an excellent inspector; he is detail-oriented, not an alarmist but definitely explains things clearly & realistically. He is very resourceful and highly experienced so I always know his advice is sound and wise. He's punctual, prices are very reasonable and he is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend him!!

He arrived 15 minutes early, explained what he would be doing. We have 4 in home dogs that he happily worked around. Christopher was very thorough taking 4 plus hours to complete the inspection. We received a very detailed report emailed later that day that he offered to explain in detail with us. His report was so well written, that was not necessary. His pricing was very fair, significantly less than what friends had paid using other companies. Plan to use him when we purchase our next home.

Thanks so much for taking the time to perform a thorough home inspection with us today. The knowledge you imparted on us in the process was invaluable. We are so grateful to have had you to do our home inspection. It gave us a sound piece of mind. I’ll be sure to recommend your services to anyone I know in need of a home inspection. Christopher was very friendly and so knowledgeable. He did a great job explaining everything to us. He performed a very thorough inspection and was very clear as to the minor issues the property had. He answered all questions asked by us and gave us an in-depth explanation as to why the issues occurred and how to cost efficiently fix them. We are greatly appreciative of his attention to detail and unbiased opinions and recommendations.

Highly recommended! Super professional yet personable, knowledgeable and explains the process concerning the multitude of dynamic information gathered in a common sense and easily understandable manner. Please consider him in your next home inspection. If this man cleaned houses like he inspects them I would hire him for that as well.

This was our second home inspection with 1st Choice Home Inspections and I can say that we are very happy. Chris Schott did an excellent job and was very professional. He has a great attitude and treats his customers with respect. We are first time home buyers and he went through each detail thoroughly and explained things in a way that was easy to understand and meaningful. Overall we are very pleased with the service we received on both home inspections and would definitely recommend Chris Schott with 1st Choice Home Inspections to anyone looking to purchase a home.

We're on our 6th home purchase, and we've had five different inspectors previous to this experience with Christopher. I'm so happy I never have to look for a home inspector again. As long as he's in business, this is who we'll use for all future home purchases. The level of professionalism, knowledge, and personal attention he gives is unparalleled in the industry. He took the time to go over his findings, and photos, in person, at the inspection. I've never had that kind of service before. His prices are extremely competitive, and he is extremely competent and excellent at what he does.

Working with Christopher at 1st Choice Home Inspections was a great decision! In the past 15 years, this is our fifth (pre-purchase) home inspection and third different inspection company we've engaged. Of them all, this was by far the best. Even better, we got twice the service for half the price! Christopher was ultra-personable, knowledgeable, and responsive. With past inspectors, I've been treated as a pest when I asked questions. Not with Christopher. He openly and thoroughly answered questions. The post-inspection report was great! Christopher actually discussed each and every pictured item with me - right then and there. I didn't have to wait for a week to get a fancy bound report; rather, I had the final report in my email inbox the day of the inspection. While I would never recommend the other companies we've use, I would not hesitate to recommend Christopher at 1st Choice Home Inspections.

Chris was beyond knowledgeable on everything with our home. Very friendly and took time to explain everything, even if we didn’t have a question. We did end up with a question right before we moved in. He offered to come over on his own time to answer our question. Highly recommend 1st Choice Inspections.

Chris was awesome. He was well prepared even for things that were not expected. He was incredibly thorough, explained EVERYTHING in a way we could understand and was very friendly. His attention to details was reassuring and the fact that he took so much time explaining everything to us meant a lot to us. He didn't just say "you will see my finding in your report." He went step by step through everything and made sure we understood. He explained the things that needed prompt attention, things that should be addressed in the near future and things that we should watch for in a few years. I would recommend Chris with 1st Choice Home Inspections to anyone buying a home.

We cannot say enough good things about 1st Choice Home Inspections and Christopher. He was thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and had a fast turn-around time with our final report. We've had home inspections before where we felt rushed and did not feel confident that everything had been covered. We definitely did not feel this way with Christopher! It's a good feeling to move forward with a comprehensive understanding of the good and the maybe not-so-good. And the discount for veterans was a nice bonus!

Wonderful, Christopher Schott. Did a great job and walked us through what he was looking at. He was very thorough in his inspection. All question we had he was able to answer. Took his time which was very important considering we were first time home owners.
