Testimonials
Thorough and professional work - excellent attention to detail. I liked the detailed analysis and the use of photography to ensure accurate depiction of any issues with the house. Highly recommended!
- A.R., Earlysville VA, February 2024
Robert was very professional and thorough. He not only pointed out several things that we wouldn't have noticed that needed remediation, but also provided useful information on many features of the home that will help us once we move in. Recommend highly to anyone needing home inspection services.
- B.C., May 2020
Robert was fantastic. Very thorough and practical.
- C.G., May 2020
Robert came to a remote house on fairly short notice and his inspection left me with absolutely no questions about the house and property. While his certifications speak for themselves, his expertise is apparent both in person and in his written reports. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend Robert Foster to anyone looking for a quality home inspection.
- C.T., April 2020
Robert was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable! He was also a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his service!
- D.M., April 2020
Robert was extremely professional, thorough and able to clearly articulate his inspection findings in our report, which was delivered less than 12 hours after the inspection. Could not recommend Trebor Home Inspections more!
- M.H., March 2020
A highly intelligent (and witty) guy who does a complete and thorough system-by-system inspection. He will help you to understand the implications of the info he has generated. He indicates a willingness to answer questions about the property months or more down the road and views his report as a service not only to the home buyer but the home owner. A first-rate inspector. Can't imagine a better one.
- P.K., Charlottesville USA, March 2020
Robert was incredibly knowledgeable and professional and made our home inspection process very smooth. His inspection report was amazingly detailed and I highly recommend his services.
- C.G., Fairfax CA, March 2020
Robert was thorough, professional, candid, and extremely accessible and friendly from start to finish. We were very pleased with his services!
- N.M., February 2020
My Realtor urged me to hire Robert, whom she described as the most thorough and knowledgable home inspector in Charlottesville. Robert exceeded my expectations.
He located a $20,000 problem behind some insulation that my Realtor is convinced most inspectors would have missed. At my request and after business hours, Robert called my contractor to facilitate the remediation estimate in time to meet a tight deadline for negotiations with the seller.
During the inspection, Robert patiently and politely explained each issue he uncovered. Using his infrared sensor, he showed me places in the home where heat was escaping. Not one of the inspectors I've hired for prior purchases made the sizable investment required to own that tool.
Robert's color-coded report not only details and prioritizes each issue, it also explains how the house is built and how systems work.
If you're buying a home in the Charlottesville area, hiring Trebor Home Inspections is probably the best pre-closing investment you can make.
- N.S., February 2020
Robert was thorough, professional and a delight to work with. Highly recommend.
- A.T., February 2020
I am delighted and grateful to have had Robert for our home inspection. He made himself available on extremely short notice to meet at the only time we could meet. He was wonderfully helpful in explaining various situations in the house, and his color-coded inspection report was both thorough and easy to understand. He has outstanding expertise and is also friendly and outgoing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.
- T.K., Newton MA, December 2019
Personable, easy to understand, and thoughtful.
- J.S., October 2019
I've hired Robert at Trebor Home Inspections for two home purchases, and also have had friends utilize his services as well. He is extraordinarily thorough and has incredible attention to detail. He explains everything he is doing as he goes along, along with advice and tips that are above and beyond the inspection. His reports are clearly demarcated with issues, defects, safety, vs. purely informational. I've referenced the report as a homeowner well after the purchase period for my own home improvement. He spends hours being careful with the inspection and I strongly recommend him. I would go out of my way to hire him over other alternatives.
- J.F., October 2019
Robert was very thorough and identified areas of concern as well as general findings. With VA laws, inspections provided by Robert are vital in making sure the property you are purchasing is as being represented. Thank you Robert!
- D.C., October 2019
Robert, I was very pleased with the thorough nature of your report. Your approach to assessing the condition of all aspects of the property was done in an impartial way and did not reflect bias toward the buyer or seller. That said, your comments provided purposeful and actionable information. Navigating the home purchase process is , at best , stressful . Your deliberate , educational approach was refreshing. I am fortunate to have been referred to you as your insights were critically important to me in the decision process. Thanks very much and good job!
- J.T., June 2019
This is the second time that I've used Robert to inspect/assess a potential home purchase. Although I am a civil engineer and grew up and worked in the construction industry, Robert discovered items needing focus that I would have likely missed were I doing my own inspection. Attach all the positive adjectives concerning thoroughness, knowledge, professionalism and intellect and one defines Robert's inspection. He goes where I didn't wish to go (as in crawlspaces) and discovers a building's features needing attention. I feel fortunate to have had Robert "in my corner". He is, indeed, the best home inspector one can get.
- C.W., June 2019
Robert is very thorough and approachable. His experience and knowledge gave us a great sense of comfort and understanding to this process.
- M.P., June 2019
Robert: Thanks for your effort and the reports denoting this property's condition. While I have a fairly decent knowledge of home construction, you pointed out conditions that I undoubtedly would have missed. Your knowledge and thoroughness are exemplary.
- C.W., May 2019
We are so grateful for Robert's level of attention to detail throughout the inspection process! His reports are thorough -- perfect to hold onto as you settle into a new house to keep track of what needs to be addressed.
Thank you Robert!
- L.M., May 2019
We would absolutely recommend Robert to anyone looking for a quality, trustworthy home inspector. He took great care to explain everything we asked about and write up a detailed and thorough report. Because of his inspection, we were able to successfully negotiate a couple of major repairs with the seller, and we feel confident about our purchase and the condition of our new home.
- L.H., May 2019
Robert was thorough in his assessment of the home and extremely organized in his communications and his report. I would recommend him to a friend in a heartbeat.
- M.F., May 2019
Thank you for being so quick to turn around our report. So thorough and helpful!
- C.R., April 2019
Robert, and Trebor came recommended to us by our Realtor, and it was a pleasure working with him. He scheduled an appointment in a timely manner, within a week of giving him a call. I am relocating from outside Charlottesville, and if I had not been able to make the appointment Robert would have taken videos for me.
The inspection took about 2.5 hours, and was definitely worth the 4.5 hour drive to and from Charlottesville. Robert was very thorough, detail-oriented and honest about what was a problem and what was not going to be an issue with the house. He patiently explained the different systems in the home to a novice homeowner like me.
His report followed soon after and is easy to read and digest. It helped us get the homeowners to agree to the needed changes. Thanks Trebor for a smooth home inspection experience!
- S.K., April 2019
Excellent communications throughout the process and great write up at the end. Really appreciate the thoroughness of the inspection, spending nearly 4 hours at the house. Your work provides a lot of confidence to move forward (or not) on a house. Would absolutely use you again. I only wish your lead time for inspections were less so we would know sooner whether or not we were going to proceed with the purchase. In the end, however, your thoroughness is worth the wait.
- T.T., Charlottesville VA, April 2019
Rachael and I very much appreciated the thorough job you did inspecting our future home. It was great to see that there was a lot of positive attribute of the house. There were a few downfalls and the honesty you showed by telling us everything was great information for us to know and have. The report you put together was wonderful and we will be looking back at it often to recall specific issues we need to fix and improvements we need to make. Thank you very much for your excellent work inspecting our home!
- A.C., April 2019
Rob was very professional and knowledgeable, performing the inspection with great care and in careful detail. He explained things well during and after the inspection, offering several useful tips and opinions.
It gave us a sound piece of mind and a heads up on what we should focus on when we move in.
- S.W., March 2019
Robert did an absolutely outstanding job of inspecting our new home - completely thorough, all safety issues noted, home systems explained, and more. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Robert!
- J.D., March 2019
Working with Robert was an excellent experience. He responded quickly to schedule our home inspection and was flexible about having to visit the property twice, due to potential weather-related delays. His attention to detail, thorough inspection, explanation of how to interpret his final report and thoughts on the most important items to address were invaluable. We enjoyed the time we spent with him and appreciate the data we now have as a result of his report. The informational notations are very helpful, as they give us access to information we might not have thought to request and/or anticipate as important. We highly recommend his service as a home inspector.
- D.G., February 2019
Complete confidence in his work! Loved his honesty and straightforward approach. Reports were clear. Work was thorough and thoughtful.
- M.E., February 2019
It was a pleasure working with Robert. He inspection was thorough and he was very friendly and responsive.
- A.P., December 2018
The report was thorough and easy to read and understand. Above all, I so appreciate Robert bringing major concerns to our attention early in the inspection. He did not wait to write the report to bring concerns to our attention. I cannot overstate the value of his expertise and knowledge in advising us of major and costly-to-repair concerns had we gone ahead with the purchase of the property.
- T.G., Charlottesville VA, October 2018
Robert from Trebor Home Inspections was very helpful during our home buying process. He was very thorough during the inspection and explained everything he found along the way. His report was very easy to read and understand and the color coding helped in identifying and differentiating between BIG and small issues. I would highly suggest using Robert from Trebor for your home inspection.
- T.M., October 2018
You did such a thorough job for the buyers of our previous property that we wanted you to check out the house that we plan to buy. You did another thorough, great job.
- P.W., September 2018
Robert Foster with Trebor Home Inspections conducted a very thorough, professional inspection of the home I am buying. He spent a considerable amount of time testing and visually inspecting critical components of the house, and allowed me to follow along while he explained what he was doing each step of the way; he answered every question I asked in a patient and courteous manner. I have confidence that all deficiencies were identified, and that the potential ramifications of each was comprehensively detailed in the written report which Trebor provided me within hours after the inspection was completed. I don't hesitate in recommending his services.
- P.H., August 2018
Concise report. Helpful comments and photo documentation. Well thought out and presented in a useful manner.
- F.M., July 2018
Very detail oriented! Robert took the time to answer all our questions during the 3+ hour inspection. Friendly, patient, and experienced. Will highly recommend to friends and family.
- C.S., July 2018
Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain things if you want/ask questions. He also reiterates that he is available to you after the inspection process for any questions (which I can certainly vouch for). I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone thinking about buying a home. You want to know what you're getting into!
- A.P., June 2018
Robert’s inspection was fantastic and I would highly recommend his services for anyone needing a property inspection. The inspection was very thorough and the report was very easy to read. The report made it very easy to negotiate with the seller to make necessary improvements. Top notch service. Fast and reliable.
- S.M., June 2018
I can't say enough good things about Robert's inspection. He is extremely detailed, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in pointing out issues, both those that can be modified and those that cannot. He focuses attention on aspects of the house that will require ongoing maintenance as well as changes that can alert one to problems that are brewing. His report was extremely helpful and I will print it out and keep it in a binder for future reference. I have had houses inspected in the past and I have never had such a helpful inspection done before.
- J.O., June 2018
This is the second time I have hired Robert Foster for a home inspection, and the experience both times was fantastic. He did a very thorough inspection, and the report was uploaded quickly and was easy to read. The best part was that I learned so much about what I was getting myself into with each house--but I also learned so much about houses in general. Robert is extremely knowledgeable and eager to answer questions, and he took the time to look in every nook and cranny, even to the very far corners of the crawlspace. I would (and do) highly recommend hiring Robert.
- C.B., May 2018
Robert Foster is the best home inspector we've worked with! He is incredibly thorough and took the time to make sure we understood everything in the report.
- S.M., May 2018
Robert Foster did a fantastic job. He was extremely careful and thorough. It's helpful that he distinguishes between different types of comments, too -- issues that should be taken into account in the purchase versus normal maintenance issues.
- M.K., May 2018
Robert did a fantastic job on our home inspection. He had incredible attention to detail in regards to every aspect of the house and was able to explain what he was looking for in simple, easy-to-understand terms. His reports was also very thorough, yet digestible to read. I would definitely recommend Robert to anyone looking for a high quality home inspector.
- C.T., April 2018
We've used four house inspectors in our home buying time. Robert definitely one of the best. He's thorough, and uses technology extremely well to communicate and provide evidence for the issues he discovers. This helps make the point to buyers. This includes images of the problems, video (audio -- "hear that popping sound, that's not good") and links to web articles that explain technical elements we weren't familiar with. No equivocation -- hire Robert for your inspector.
- E.B., March 2018
Robert was thorough, helpful, friendly, and quick - we really enjoyed working with him!
- J.H., March 2018
Robert was informative, professional, thorough and most importantly, patient. As first time home buyers, the process could be particularly confusing and stressful. Robert patiently explained every detail in an understandable manner, which made the process even enjoyable. I would recommend Robert to everyone and cannot say enough positive things about him and his inspections.
- C.C., March 2018
I wouldn't use anyone else other than Robert. He is absolutely the best. Smart, knowledgeable, thorough -- and I really appreciate the detailed, easy-to-access online report . Thanks!
- B.M., January 2018
Timely and very thorough. The report was very detailed and saved us from moving forward on a house that was ultimately not what we thought it was. Robert also took the time to have a call with us n short notice to answer some remaining questions we had. Wi HIGHLY recommend using him for his expertise and personal care.
- E.E., January 2018
Highly recommended! Super professional, 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.
- M.C., December 2017
Mr. Foster did an incredible job and was extremely careful and thorough. I would defiantly recommend him to family and friends.
- J.K., December 2017
Robert did an outstanding job inspecting our property. He is extremely thorough in his examination and assessment of structural integrity, construction features and basic operating functions. While onsite, he takes the time to explain his approach and review his findings in great detail. The report he produces is also quite comprehensive and compiled in a way that is both easy to understand and quite helpful in identifying issues in need of more immediate attention and remediation. Moving to a new place can be a very stressful experience - especially when relocating to another state, as is the case with our family. Robert's professionalism, knowledge and expertise provided us with more than enough information we needed to feel more confident about our purchase decision, while offering insights that allowed us to become better acquainted and more comfortable with our new home. We highly recommend him when only the best will suffice for your next inspection project.

- , December 2017
Robert was truly a professional and a wealth of knowledge. He was extremely thorough and took time to explain the what and the why for every detail of the inspection. He addressed my major concerns for the house and provided multiple ideas on how to best address the issues in the future without feeling pushy or overbearing. I would highly recommend him to anybody in the market for a reliable and trustworthy home inspector.
- T.C., November 2017
Robert was thorough, professional, and a delight to work with. The color coding on his report made the report easy to read and to understand. He took my concerns seriously. Coming from a construction family, I appreciate his integrity and the breadth of his knowledge.
- M.P., November 2017
Would recommend highly! I really appreciated the detail and follow-up.
- M.M., October 2017
Robert is personable, thorough, and experienced, and knows the community well, which was great for me as someone moving to town. Follows through, reports are ready when promised. Couldn't ask for more.
- M.L., October 2017
I was very impressed by Robert's thorough inspection and great communication. He came to me strongly recommended by friends, and I have no regrets! He was in touch before, during, and after the inspection, and went above and beyond. During the inspection, he took the time to notice even the tiniest of details. Instead of simply pointing out any deficiencies he noted, Robert also took the time to answer my questions, educate me about the different features in the home, and give me tips on how to plan for future maintenance and improvements. I appreciated his detailed and color-coded written report, which made it very easy to understand the state of the house and how best to prioritize repairs/remediations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough and honest inspection!
- C.A., September 2017
Robert Foster is a meticulous and detail-oriented home inspector. He systematically reviewed all home structures and systems and called our attention to everything from major deficiencies to minor maintenance items. He was communicative, approachable and a pleasure to interact with throughout the process.
Robert identified many issues that were not apparent to the untrained eye and was able to clearly describe the issue itself and the level of concern the issue should raise. Finally, he delivered a written report that was clear and understandable. Robert's work was a critical factor in allowing us to fairly allocate to our seller the obligation to fix the key safety issues and deficiencies, while retaining for us as buyers the routine maintenance items and items that were more appropriately monitored and reviewed over time. Finally, Robert made himself readily available to discuss our questions after he sent us the report and offered to return to the property to evaluate remedial work done.
As very experienced old home buyers, we can say that Robert is the best home inspector we have ever worked with, and we would highly recommend Robert to anyone who is considering purchasing a home, old or new.
- , September 2017
Highly recommended! Robert was extremely knowledgable, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process, which I especially appreciate as a first time homebuyer. The report was easy to read and informative - the color coding and accompanying videos were great. Thank you, Robert!
- E.T., July 2017
Robert was the most professional home inspector I have ever used. His report was very thorough and the technology used made it really easy to comprehend. We were not present at the inspection, but he gave us everything we needed to understand the issues and feel confident about buying the house. His communication was excellent and he was able to fit us in with short notice. I would definitely recommend using him.
- T.C., July 2017
This is my fifth home purchase and inspection and I would rank my experience with Robert as #1. He's very thorough and professional and easily communicates what he's looking for as well as any discrepancies he finds. His report is equally thorough and descriptive. In addition, he promptly responded to any email questions we had. I would give my Robert my strongest possible recommendation for anyone requiring a home inspection.
- C.B., June 2017
Robert is very knowledgeable and did a great job putting his findings in layman's terms for me. His report -- color-coded and detailed -- is something we'll be referring to often as we make our move. 10/10.
- J.S., June 2017
This was our 3rd experience buying a home. Robert's inspection report was by far the most thorough we have ever received. We are buying this house while stationed overseas, so have not personally ever set foot in it. Robert's report, with its extensive photos and written information, gave us confidence to go through with the deal. We were able to use the report to very clearly show to the sellers where and why we requested some small repairs. Thanks to his diligence and professionalism, we are making a fully-informed purchase, despite being thousands of miles away. Should we ever buy another house, we would turn to him again.
- M.K., June 2017
Our home inspection was the most detailed and informational report that we have ever had. The pictures that accompanied the report were most helpful. We have purchased several homes, and I wish we had a similar inspection then.
- R.W., June 2017
Thanks for another great inspection!
- K.T., May 2017
Robert was incredibly informative during this inspection, and we have full confidence in our home purchase as a result of his very thorough assessment. He lists his reports with super helpful categories beyond the typical green, yellow or red issues that come up upon a new purchase - as Robert is intent on preparing his clients for *owning* and living in the home rather than just buying it. He is patient with both novice and experts, and takes the time to explain anything he observes. If I could advise a new homebuyer on anything, it would be to stay close to Robert while you all walk through your new home - yes, the whole time - as you will undoubtedly learn much about how your home is built and how to take care of it most optimally.
- C.E., May 2017
Robert is extraordinarily thorough and knowledgeable about every issue relating to inspecting a home. He walked us through every item he found and answered our questions thoughtfully. The report is well arranged and really useful both during the purchase process and will serve as a start to an "owner's manual" in our new home. He is also very professional and helpful. We definitely recommend Robert to inspect your purchased home!
- C.N., May 2017
We benefitted from Robert's deep knowledge of building science, thorough and organized inspection, and capacity to translate his findings into a clear, actionable report that we'll be able to use as a reference tool during ownership. He was personable, happy to explain his findings, and open to follow-up questions. We consider this one of the best investments we've made in our new home. Recommended without reservation.
- B.Z., May 2017
Robert not only squeezed in a last-minute home inspection for us, but he conducted it with the utmost kindness, honesty and thoroughness. He talked us through all of the potential issues while we went, so that some of what could have seemed scary became more innocuous, and he answered all of our questions with great patience. His report was promptly sent and easy to read, and we just can't recommend Trebor Home Inspections enough!
- J.M., May 2017
Thank you for being so friendly and professional! We were lucky to have such a knowledgable and careful inspector.
- S.T., April 2017
Robert did an incredible job; he was very thorough and knowledgeable! I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
- A.W., April 2017
We are new to the Charlottesville, VA, area and had no clue which home inspector to go with. Robert was referred to us by our Realtor and we are grateful for the recommendation. Robert was a great communicator before the inspection via email suggesting we visit his website to take a look at a sample of an inspection report to see what he does for an inspection. He also informed us of the cost of the inspection and other services we requested, how soon the inspection report would be available, and confirmed the time and date of the inspection. I was able to be present for the inspection of the property we were under contract to purchase. Being an objective, third party, Robert provided a wonderfully sincere, forthright, and honest approach to the inspection explaining in detail what he was seeing. The inspection report itself was a very straightforward document. Robert doesn't sugarcoat things. He reports what he saw and presents his reasoning for his evaluation. I highly encourage anyone to be on hand for the inspection. Being able to talk to and question Robert during his inspection was a great benefit. We highly recommend Robert for a home inspection.
- J.K., April 2017
Robert was very thorough in his inspection, and that gave us peace of mind as we navigated our home purchase. At the inspection, he explained and showed things to us, and was very helpful with any questions we had. We had a detailed report, with pictures, in hand later the day of the inspection. Since the inspection, he has been very helpful with follow up questions we had about some of the things he found in the inspection. Overall it was a good experience.
- L.W., March 2017
Robert was both professional and thorough. His detailed report was very easy to read and clearly marked for deficiencies that needed attention. I appreciated his honest appraisal of the issues and his positive attitude.
- J.N., March 2017
We were extremely happy with the service Robert provided! During the inspection, he gave clear information as he moved through the house, answered all questions thoroughly, and checked in as he moved along to make sure we were all on the same page. He also very patiently answered questions about possible renovations and told us that he would be happy to continue to answer similar questions in the future. The report he sent us that same night was very easy to understand; it was very well organized, with photographs and videos when warranted and color coding of information. We highly recommend Robert to anyone in need of a home inspection!
- H.J., March 2017
Thank you very much for your thorough home inspection! We could not be any happier with the service we received. We very much appreciated how you explained everything as you went and we feel much more confident purchasing this house.
- R.P., March 2017
We hired Robert to inspect the home we purchased in October 2016. Robert provided us with an incredibly thorough inspection. He truly cared about our experience and noticed things we would not have noticed. His communication was excellent throughout the process. He was very accommodating in doing the inspection without much notice in order to work around my husband's work schedule. We had a wonderful experience and give the highest recommendation for Robert's services.
- S.S., March 2017
Robert was great. He was thorough, produced a 70 page inspection, and gave us a guide for our house. We felt more knowledgeable about our home and how to properly maintain it after a few hours of discussion with him.
- M.S., March 2017
We have had a few "home inspectors" over the years, and Robert, by far, is the most knowledgeable, professional, personal and thorough, truly qualified, inspector we have found. He answered all our questions and provided a detailed written report to back up and include the items we discussed in person at the inspection. He spent several hours with us and our realtor pointing out areas we may be concerned about in a respectful (for both the home owner and buyer) manner. He also will answer any questions about the property we may have in the future. (No one has even suggested or offered that (included) service before.
Yes, we would certainly recommend Robert for a competent home inspection.
Sincerely, Carol & Ken
- K.R., February 2017
Robert did a great inspection and I appreciated that he responded quickly and thoroughly to all our questions throughout the process.
- T.H., February 2017
We highly recommend Trebor Home Inspections. Robert performed an extremely thorough home inspection and provided us with a very detailed report. His report listed every concerning finding and categorized each according to corresponding house system (electric, plumbing, kitchen, etc.). His color-coded legend at the top of the report helped us prioritize actual deficiencies requiring immediate action versus potential future safety concerns. As first time home buyers, this process was very foreign to us. Robert is very friendly and made us feel comfortable. We attended the inspection with Robert and he patiently answered all of our questions. He explained his findings as we went along and even pointed out general knowledge about our home that will be beneficial to know if we make renovations in the future. Robert was also timely and sent us our final inspection report on the same day as our inspection. We are thankful that we chose Trebor Home Inspections and find peace knowing that we can always reach out to Robert if any questions pertaining to our home arise in the future.
- K.A., February 2017
- H.P., February 2017
Robert was fantastic! He is very detailed and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand your new home. We would recommend him to anyone.
- K.K., February 2017
Thank you for your professionalism and thoroughness!
- E.W., January 2017
Trebor Home Inspections is exactly who I needed as I contemplated buying an older home. Robert Foster was very thorough, professional, friendly and clearly knowledgeable about homes. The report was clear and included both photos and videos. When you buy a home, you want to know what you are getting into. After receiving the report, I felt confident that I had the information I needed for a successful real estate purchase.
- M.A., January 2017
Robert was extremely thorough and knowledgable. He made us feel as confident as possible with the decisions we had to make about the house by pointing out the extent of the issues and the possible ramifications.
I'd highly recommend Robert to anyone.
- S.O., January 2017
We've engaged Robert's services multiple times in the last few years and have always been impressed by his knowledge, thoroughness, and professionalism. As long as Robert is inspecting homes, we'll be his clients!
- B.H., December 2016
The best experience we have with an inspection. Robert was communicative, prompt, efficient, and thorough. We could not ask for a better inspection. We ultimately are not buying the home he inspected, and that is in part due to his thoroughness and findings. It was money very well spent. I absolutely would recommend Robert!
- J.E., December 2016
Robert provided an incredibly detailed, thorough, and thoughtful inspection of our home. As first-time home buyers, he took extra time to point out items that we might not have noticed otherwise and gave us helpful advice for upkeep of the home. His report was extremely detailed and easy to read. It will be a resource that we will refer to many times in the coming years. Robert was approachable, easy to work with, and made us feel confident that he was committed to providing us with a high-quality product. Highly recommend working with him!
- K.H., November 2016
Robert was a great inspector and made the process very clear and understandable. The report was clear and the color coding was amazing. My husband and I are first time home-buyers and Robert certainly made the process clear and understandable for us first timers!
An added bonus was that he was quick to respond to email and always answered questions with clarity as well as regularly offered his assistance if we had questions. We will definitely use him in the future - I highly recommend him!
- S.H., November 2016
Great work. Thanks again!
- D.C., November 2016
Great value and service. Thank you!
- J.C., October 2016
My home inspection was a terrific experience. Robert allowed me to follow him for most of the inspection and readily explained to this first-time detached home buyer the deficiencies he noted and how they should be fixed. He pointed out small problems that might become large problems in the future. His written report went into even more depth but was written clearly and included illustrations and photos.
Whether you are a prospective buyer or an owner looking to sell or concerned about the status of your home, Robert Foster is most definitely the home inspector to call upon.

Robert was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of your questions no matter how big or how small. This is our first time attempting to purchase a home and we now have very high standards if Robert is not available in the future. He was also extremely thorough. No piece of the house was left unturned. I feel that he was fair in the issues that needed attention and will help us immensely in gaining concessions. He also offered us useful advice as future owners of the home and how to fix simple things that would help us in the long run. The detail of his report was also easy to read for those of us who have no contracting or building experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get the most out of a home inspection.

Robert did a fantastic job with our home inspection. He is extremely knowledgable, friendly, thorough and professional. His report was delivered on the same day and was easy to read, very detailed, included pictures with arrows and diagrams and even is color-coded so you know where the big problems are! He has tons of special equipment and literally checks every square inch of the house. For us, he even had to crawl through the entire crawl space in the rain and still came out smiling! He is the best and great with communication during the inspection. if you need a home inspected and you want to know every potential issue, call him. You won't be disappointed.

Robert was extremely professional and moved through the house in a very deliberate and thorough way. He shared with us his plan of examination, and let us ask as many questions as we'd like, while still conducting the inspection. I know it is impossible to find all issues with a home, but, I'd be surprised if he didn't. The home inspection can be overwhelming and an emotional low point in the purchasing process. Robert was very informative about the issues he was finding. He talked to us about why it was an issue, how it could be repaired, and any other inquiries we had. His straightforward and informative manner was comforting and helpful during and after the inspection as we negotiated with the sellers. His report went even further beyond what we saw that day, and will be a valuable resource as we get settled into, and live in our new home for probably a few years to come. Robert has the utmost integrity and ethical behavior around the inspection process and we are very glad that we chose him.
Thank you,
Craig and Abby

We were incredibly appreciative of Robert's expertise and thoughtfulness during our home inspection. We bought an older home, and having never bought a home more than 5 years old, we needed a lot of guidance. Robert was extremely thorough and thoughtful in all of his assessments and we were beyond impressed with his report. We are still using it to guide us through all of our home improvement projects and know that we can call on him in the future if we have any questions. We hope to not be buying another home any time in the near future, but if we did, we would hire Robert again without hesitation, and will certainly be recommending him to friends and family!
