Gary is second to none, I refer Gary to any of my potential clients looking for a home inspection in his area. No one in the area compares. I only hear anything but positives, he is extremely knowledgeable in his profession. Gary has many years of experience. He is worth every penny you will spend to have him inspect the potential property you are looking at purchasing.
I am a professional who is very hands-on, very systematic and also very detailed in most things I do. Add that to the fact that this was my first home purchase meant that I had a million questions. I did some research about the home inspection process and called at least 8 different home inspectors conducting my own little phone interviews before hiring Gary. What I liked about Gary was that he was extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of house construction and QA/QC. He knew the typical problems areas where builder would take shortcuts but also knew the signs when the builder paid attention to details. During the inspection, I randomly commented giving a thumbs up to areas that I knew had minor issues but wanted to hear Gary's response if he would blindly agree with me. He pointed out the issues and was spot on. He really knew his stuff. Gary had a lot of patience and very good people skills. I accompanied Gary for the entire 5 hours during the house inspection and after the 4th hour finding nothing major, I started to get a little complacent and comfortable that everything was fine with the house. However Gary stayed the course and did not relax on this thoroughness paying attention to the finest of details. In areas that we found minor issues he took the time to explain the issue, suggest the appropriate priority to give and also offered suggestions on how it could be rectified. Thank you Gary for a job well done and I would definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to do a home inspection
Gary was punctual, thorough and methodical on the day of the home inspection. He answered all of our questions, no matter how trivial and did not make you fell stupid for asking them. His report was delivered when he said it would be and was clear and understandable. The problem area's of the property were evidenced by photos and info red pictures. His report saved us a very large amount of money in the purchasing of the property. He has made several follow up phone calls to check that everything is OK. Because he is not affiliated with a realtor, his report is honest, unbiased and trustworthy. On top of this he is a very nice genuine guy, who cares about his customers. A very rare find in today's business world. I would recommend him to anyone.
I had some concerns with cold areas of my home but when contacting a HVAC company they recommended a home inspector. Although I was skeptical, thinking home inspectors specialize in home purchases, I now know Sherlock Homes was the right choice! Besides being punctual and very professional, the issue was found quickly using some up to date technology as well as obvious experience and knowledge. I was given all the information and instruction I needed to do the job myself as I had asked, but also knew what to expect if I had asked a contractor to give me a quote. I have asked a few more questions well after the fact and have been given answers within an hour of asking. I fully recommend using Sherlock Homes for consultations on work needed, and in the event of a purchase of a new property, I certainly know who I will call to do my home inspection as well.
