    Rave Reviews From Past Clients

    I wanted to thank you again for the inspection. We really appreciated the detail and explanation. We will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs an inspection.

    We may have that Level II [chimney] inspection done. Do you have anyone you can recommend?

    Thank you,

    Veronica Villalobos-Andrews

    I was extremely pleased with the professionalism of the inspection and the down to earth approach when explaining the details of the findings, I appreciated very much the obvious expertise that Duane has, and his matter of fact approach. He was very helpful in being available over the weekend to help answer some extra questions and for that I thank him.

    It will be my pleasure to recommend your company; in fact I fully intend to ask you to do a pre sale inspection for me in the near future.

    Regards,

    Steve Wardleworth

    I never did get to THANK YOU for such a wonderfully thorough and informative inspection.

    We have finalized the deal and had a contractor in yesterday. We are using your report to update and improve our new home.

    Thanks again. You are terrific!

    I will recommend you whenever I have the chance :-)

    Thank you,

    Suzanne Schwinn

    I wanted to confirm receipt of the photos, and also thank you again for your work yesterday. You were very thorough and knowledgeable, and saved us from some very big potential headaches in the future. Julie and I feel a lot more "educated" after yesterday's experience! The decision to walk away from the house was based on just too many questionable risks and the margin for catastrophe seemed very big. We are glad we found this out now instead of after we closed.

    We are back to the drawing board and would definitely like to work with you again. I'll give you a ring when "Dreamhouse #2" comes along. As far as the Radon test goes I hope it did not inconvenience you too much, and regarding the bill for next time, I have no issues paying the full price for the inspection. I see it as a very minor thing in comparison to a potential $10,000 fix.

    Thanks again

    Andrew LaMere

    Thanks a ton! Your work was incredibly thorough and this report is a fantastic take-away of everything we discussed this morning.

    It was a pleasure working with you.

    Thank you for your inspection and report. Mary was right it is most thorough and detailed. It is helpful now and going forward in the future. This may be more than anyone should know about their house. Thank you again for your service.

    Thank you for doing such a detailed inspection and report. Nice touch having photos.

    Nancy and Chris Hafner

    Thank you for the inspection yesterday and for following up so quickly with the report. Despite the heavy doses of carbon monoxide, I still managed to learn a few new words, of which my favorite is "flue."

    It was great to meet you; thanks again.

    Patrick Barry

    I purchased a house and needed a home inspection. I went with a person someone referred me to for it and he was absolutely horrible (this wasn't Reuben!). It was so bad and incomplete that I got another home inspection after I closed on my house (Reuben did this second one). Oh my goodness, what a difference!! I rarely EVER give my highest remarks to anyone, but Reuben gets them hands down! He exceeded every one of my expectations and that's hard to do (you'd say this is impossible to do if you knew me). I can not believe how complete and thorough a job he did, nor can I believe the amount of time and attention to detail he took. Reuben not only did a great job with the written inspection, he took the time to actually go through my house with me to show me everything and explained it in layman terms so I understood everything. AND he was dead on. There were three things he said I should take care of RIGHT AWAY, which I didn't (no fault of his) and sure enough two of those three failed and I did end up fixing them. (Either he's clarivoyant or a Home Inspection Genius!) His written Home Inspection is incredibly thorough, well written and easy to understand, and the perfect blue print of what needs to get done on the property. I have since recommended him to numerous people and they have all been impressed and given him an A+. If you want a great Home Inspection and at an extremely Fair Price, call Structure Tech!

    Steve Koenig

    I wanted to thank you again for your informative and detailed inspection. Structure Tech will be highly recommended to anyone I know seeking home inspections in the future.

    Joe Vostinar

    Thanks for the excellent report. Of the three home inspections I've had done in the past ten years this is by far the most thorough and professional. I have no doubt that the report will pay for itself through solid preventative maintenance rather than waiting for many of the minor issues to grow into major issues...

    Jeff Coffey

    Adam and I really appreciate all that you did and explained for us. We are very pleased with the inspection and close on the house August 8th. We don't know anyone at the moment that is looking to buy a house but when we do your services will come highly recommended from us! My mom works in the title business and after Adam and I talking you up she is also going to keep your business card on hand.

    Thank you again for everything.

    Angela and Adam

    Thank you very much for the Inspection report. Also thanks for coming down and inspecting our home. We are very happy about the way the inspection was done. Excellent job. The inspection process was very informative and educated us about the systems.

    Thanks again for all the help.

    Raja Devaraj

    Thank you for the time and energy you put into the inspection!!! It was very helpful to go through the house with you and learn what will be needed for maintenance and upkeep of the house. Your inspection report will now become my husbands "to do" list : )

    Sheila Johnson

    Thank you very much. The Inspection was very helpful and was done wonderfully.

    I was really impressed with how detailed you were and how you explained everything. The report we got back the next day was great as well.

    Thanks again, I will highly recommend you to anyone that needs an inspection done.

    Thank you for your services.

    The inspection process and report produced from it may have been the most professionally done service in the entire process of purchasing our home. Although our agent Jon has been great, too, and I credit him for referring us to you.

    Quick response, comprehensive inspection, helpful and critical information for having a safe, energy-efficient home.

    I immediately referred you to a friend who's new home you are inspecting today.

    Keep up the good work!

    Nate Gorr

    I just wanted to thank you for such a detailed report! It's definitely going to be a useful tool for us!

    Thank you :)

    Amanda Lanik

    This report is extremely thorough and will be a great guide for us as we move in and continue to monitor and fix our first home. Thank you again for all your help and information. If you ever have need for a reference please do not hesitate to call.

    Regards,

    Veena and Jami

    Thank you for putting this together and getting back to us so quickly. The report is very thorough and will help our position in the purchase of this home. I will recommend you to friends and family. In fact I gave your contact info to my sister who will be looking to purchase a town home in the near future."

    and later...

    ...I do know my sister was also very happy with your level of detail and exceptional customer service level. Thanks.

    ...and thanks especially for going the extra mile to get up in that crawl space to find the rotted joists. I'm glad your sense of smell suggested something amiss under there!

    Jennifer

    I know that today we as consumers seem to only mention poor customer service when we receive it, and it seems to be happening more often. But I wanted to comment on how extremely happy I was with our inspection.

    Our inspector was thorough, very helpful and nice to boot. He explained things in terms I was able to understand, was full of helpful suggestions and just did an excellent job overall. I was also happy with how fast he was able to give us feedback. I really appreciate that I can call with questions about the house as well, even after receiving the final report. What service!

    I was very pleased and will definitely recommend Structure Tech to my friends, co-workers and family. Thanks again.

    To whom it may concern:

    I would like to compliment your company on a professional and thorough home inspection. Our inspector was very knowledgeable and thorough. Even in the inclement weather, he still managed to inspect the roof and all outside areas of the property and do a fine job. Thanks again!
