Testimonials

Chelsey Ruff did a fantastic job and took the time to explain things to me and go over them. I greatly appreciate that he took the time to do that and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector.
- M.S., February 2024
Mr. Ruff If you see this, thank you! Thank you for doing an in-depth inspection from bottom to top and everywhere in between. While I did want to buy a house you inspected for me and my family, it became clear there were deficiencies, a lot of little things that I probably could take care of. And a few big things I would have needed help on. I was out of state taking care of my father. You literally became my eyes and ears on the ground like we like to say. I believe the inspection to be more valuable than an appraisal, while they both serve different purposes, an inspection on a property one cannot see for themselves is worth its weight in gold. You gave me the resources visually and written to make an informed decision. While I hope to not need your services for the next few years, due to finding a property, I know who I will call when the need arises. Thank you sir! I’m glad you were recommended to me, and I will absolutely recommend you to anyone who asks. The price was good, the turnaround time was amazing and the attention to detail shows a seasoned, professional, who ensures you’re getting valuable information. Your business hours are great “ if you’re awake I’m awake, call me with any questions anytime” . Thank you Sir!

Mr. Ruff is a very friendly, professional, and highly competitive home inspector. I strongly recommend him for home inspection. He treated me like a friend. A day before home inspection he contacted me to see if there were any specific areas, I wanted him to focus on. Before releasing an official report, he phoned me again and explained the inspection procedure in detail, also pinpointed specific findings and their solutions. His report was excellent. His analysis helped me decide confidently to make my investment in the right place. If you are planning to buy a house, I would highly recommend you get your home inspection from Mr. Ruff.
