Lee Verhagen inspected two Wisconsin properties I was interested in purchasing. Within minutes of Lee's punctual arrival, I was impressed by his technical knowledge and ability in conducting thorough and accurate property inspections. Throughout the inspection process, Lee was more than proficient in identifying safety hazards, structural defects, and system inefficiencies, while providing clear and actionable recommendations for improvements. Lee consistently showed great mindfulness, a strong commitment to client satisfaction, and excellent communication delivery, thoroughly sharing his observations and concerns verbally while onsite, as well as in a very thorough, well-written and photo-documented report which Lee emailed 24 hours later. During each inspection, Lee seemed incredibly open to my presence and answered my questions with the enthusiasm of a knowledgeable teacher, explaining household systems (water, HVAC, etc.) and showing how I can apply my new knowledge to correctly support those systems. Based on the two home inspections he did for me, I believe Lee to be an honest, transparent, and dependable professional. Lee is not afraid to point out his technical limitations. When I had a query about the severity of foundation cracks, Lee explained some of the way in which foundations fissures form and suggested I consult with a structural engineer specializing in the assessment and correction of foundation fissures. Lee offered to provide me with referrals. In summary, I was very satisfied with the two home inspections Lee Verhagen completed for me. I recommend Lee as a home inspector without reservation.

In our inspection with Lee, I couldn't be more pleased & impressed with him. His patience in explaining technical information in "non-technical" wording for me was above & beyond. His extensive knowledge of systems was apparent. All that said, he also has a friendly approach to his inspection. He rates a 10 out of 10 in my opinion & I highly recommend him for inspections.

I had been a RV owner before but was looking to upgrade. We learned you should have it inspected before purchasing. I contacted Lee when we were going up to look at a unit and he told me his price which I thought was fair for the hours of work he’d perform. When we decided we did want him to look at it, the inspection was set up quickly and his report was in my email within 24 hours. I’m currently using that to help negotiate with the seller and i know exactly what I’m walking into now. Should be no surprises on this unit in the future. His contact was quick, easy, payment was easy, because of him I now have piece of mind with my such a large expensive purchase.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lee Verhagen with Vital Inspections Plus+ for a home inspection on a lake property I was interested in purchasing, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I contacted Lee, he was incredibly professional and responsive. Not only did Lee accommodate my schedule with ease, but he also arrived punctually and ready to get to work. His attention to detail was impressive, as he meticulously examined every aspect of the property, ensuring that I had a comprehensive understanding of its condition. What truly stood out to me was Lee's depth of knowledge and expertise in lake property inspections. He was able to identify potential issues specific to waterfront properties that I would have never noticed on my own. This level of insight was invaluable in helping me make an informed decision about the property. Additionally, Lee provided the inspection report promptly, which was thorough and well-documented. It gave me the confidence to move to the next step(s), knowing exactly what I was getting into. Overall, I can't recommend Lee with Vital Inspections Plus + highly enough. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to their craft make them a standout choice for anyone in need of a top-notch home inspector, especially for lakefront properties. Thank you, Lee, for your outstanding service!

Lee was excellent to work with. Returned my call promptly and answered any questions I had. Great communication throughout the process. Definitely recommend!

Lee was great from the very beginning! I have nothing bad to say about him whatsoever. We unfortunately, now, learned our lesson to always have an inspection done PRIOR to purchasing. We had one thing after another go wrong with our new purchase and to get ahead of the surprises, I decided to find someone certified to thoroughly inspect every inch of my unit. Best investment ever! He answered all my questions before, during, and even after his work was done. I would consider him someone I can reach out to going forward with any of my questions. He is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable and truly listens to your concerns and helps you get through them and if he can't answer them, he will find out or point you in the right direction to get answers. He was able to refer me to a mechanic to do the work for me that needed to be done and even the mechanic boasted about how well the report was written, there was no gray area of what needed to be done. It came in handy to send to the dealership as well since some things they should have caught before selling it because they were considered life threatening. Hands down, I would go to Lee for all my needs in the future for my RV/Campers and future Homes!

Had a new home inspected. Lee had done a very though job of inspecting everything. Very honest and reputable. The inspection took almost 3 hours. Very well done....
- D.M., September 2022

Lee did a great job explaining things and helping to walk us through a very thorough home inspection. With the seller being home this could have been a very uncomfortable situation but Lee made sure to “tell it like it is” and made it clear he was looking out for us.
- R.W., March 2022

Lee Verhagen was incredible to work with. He was very professional and explained everything to us in a way that was easy to understand.

Lee was very knowledgeable and professional! He took time to explain maintenance items as well as why items he was recommending for attention due to safety concerns were a safety concern.
- T.M., November 2021

Lee was an absolute pleasure to work with for our home inspection! He was extremely thorough and really took the time to explain why certain things needed to be certain ways. As a first time home owner, there are many things that I didn't think of or know would need updating/fixing but Lee made sure I walked away from the home inspection feeling confident. Additionally, he provided his contact information and told me to reach out a month, year, whenever down the road if I ever had any questions or needed any clarifications/support. He truly takes pride in what he does!
- J.D., September 2021

Lee explained in very easy to understand terms during the entire inspection. He made the inspection process less intimidating and very educational.

I am grateful for the thorough and informative inspection that Lee did. He not only took the time to take care of the business at hand, but to connect to everyone at the inspection, from me to my wife and our realtor.

I am 100% assured we got all the information we need to make a sound decision and investment. Thank you so much!

Wonderful experience working with Lee for our home inspection! From the first call, he took the time to pull up the house, go through everything he could off the listing with and then answered all the questions I had before our appointment. At the inspection, Lee didn't miss a thing! He really took the time to inspect top to bottom and was sure to explain every condition, item and issue in the house! Lee is beyond thorough in his inspection and written report. Very, very knowledgeable in his field and a very kind person. We will forever refer Lee to our friends and family for home inspections! Thank you!
- K.R., February 2021

Lee was very knowledgeable and helpful. Also, he did not hesitate to suggest an expert when he was unfamiliar with a certain situation. I would recommend his services to anyone in the market and he will get repeat business from myself.
- S.S., February 2021

Lee was very helpful and very thorough. He checked out the crawl space which was important to me, and a few companies I contacted wouldn't do it. He explained everything I needed to know and offered maintenance and improvement suggestions during the inspection. His report was done quickly and easy to read. He also offered to be a continuing resource in the future. I was very happy and felt comfortable buying my house after he was done.

- B.R., Arlington Heights IL, September 2020

Lee performed an excellent inspection, taking time to point out, and more importantly explain, the issues within the home. Additionally, he offered many tips regarding maintenance of key equipment to avoid future problems. He kept it simple, and understandable. The follow up report was timely and complete. Lee photographed any issue and commented on if they needed to be repaired or replaced or further evaluation by specific type of contractor (i.e. plumber, electrician, etc.). We found him to be likeable and professional. Definitely, recommend using Lee and Vital Home Inspections, no regrets! Mike & Cathy Roberts

Hello: This is Frank Keating-who recently had an inspection for a potential home purchase. My inspection was done by Lee Verhagen. And I am very glad and grateful that he was the guy! I can honestly tell you, if you want an individual to give you a good inspection, it is Lee! He was very knowledgeable, very thorough, honest and forthright! You can tell he had your best interests on his mind. And you could tell that he had a compassion for your situation, especially me being a Senior Citizen. He was a refreshing change from the many inspectors that I have seen or know in the past: the ones that don't take their jobs seriously and preform half-assed reviews /inspections! Lee was a true professional. And on top of that, even though the inspection was over and paid for, Lee still welcomed me to call him with any questions I may want to ask him in the future. This is what a client appreciates and gives peace of mind! Frank Keating
