Testimonials
Joe was very thorough during our inspection, we could not attend but were placed on three-way call with him. Joe answered all our questions and explained the few minor problems he had found during his inspections in detail.

I am so glad we got Joe Faris and his company to inspect our new home. He just completed the third and final inspection.
To say Joe is thorough is an understatement. Joe is extremely organized and dedicated to even the most minor details. His report is impeccable: organized, easy to follow.
And a special shout out to Martha, who manages his appointments! She is the very best at what she does! So very nice and easy to work with!

Prior to closing on a newly constructed home, built by a reputable company, my real estate agent recommended Joe Farris to inspect my new house. I would probably have not bothered to order an inspection on my own, but very pleased I did. The Farris inspection was a wise investment as he identified and documented multiple defects and problems. I found Joe Farris to be exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough and devoted to attention to detail. I would strongly recommend and endorse a Farris Home Inspection. Well worth the reasonable cost!!
- C.S., January 2019
It is such a pleasure to work with this company! Joe Farris is thorough without creating drama. His willingness to conference call with me (agent) and the client is invaluable.
- M.C., January 2019
Joe, I was so impressed with your inspection at 11 Bearden yesterday. I have one question - the radon is to be picked up today, less than 24 hours later. I have not heard of a radon test that reads so quickly. Could you explain it to me? Thank you, Jennifer Vogel, Beverly-Hanks

- B.C., October 2015
Joe does is very thorough and is a consumate professional. Important to me is that he takes the time to answer questions in a non-technical way so that laymen -- like me -- can really understand his report and the specifics of what needs to be done. Joe is our go-to-first-guy. Thanks, Joe.

Best inspection ever. Thanks, Joe, for the incredibly detailed report and an informative walk-through that really helped me understand how best to move forward. I feel like our meeting showed me what to expect for the next several years as a homeowner, while also getting me excited about my purchase. I sent my report to my dad, a property manager for decades, and he said it was one of the most thorough he'd ever seen. So glad to work with you, Joe!

As a real estate agent, I have been using Joe for all of my inspections for nearly 2 years now. I highly recommend him to all of my clients, as he is honest, extremely thorough, very knowledgeable about the home inspection process, is an excellent communicator, and very professional. His reports are delivered on the day of inspection, so there's no waiting around wondering where your report is. He makes it seamless by arranging the radon, pest, and water inspections - He's a one-stop-shop! Thanks Joe for all you do!
- K.C., Asheville NC, November 2014
Joe is very compassionate and listens to the needs of his customers. He is very thorough and detailed. He will go the extra mile to come up with solutions that will assist the customer in getting the answers and information they need. I would highly recommend him as a home inspector!
- E.P., September 2014
Joe was very professional and extremely thorough. He was more than happy to have me tag-along throughout the inspection process so I could get a good idea of the condition of the house. He caught a potential structural problem with the foundation (that past inspectors had overlooked) which could have been catastrophic in the future. I would highly recommend Joe Farris to anyone in the process of purchasing a home. Absolutely outstanding work.
- R.W., September 2014
Joe - I am so please how my inspeciton went. You were kind and professional, and most of all patient with me on the last inspection.

Joe did a thorough job with the inspection and explanation of issues throughout the 1908 house I'm looking to purchase. He offered helpful suggestions of approaches to correct both major and minor concerns, and he invited me to email him later with questions that arose. Joe responded quickly and helpfully to my follow-up email, recommending two contractors who could do the type of historically considerate work I'm seeking.

Thank you for taking the time to take us around the the house and showing us all those little problems that we would not have discovered on our own. It was a great learning experience for us.

I would use Joe Farris again. Very thorough job and detailed in his inspection. As the buyer, I was able to follow Joe around and he would explain his findings to me as well as explain items that met, exceeded or fell below what construction codes demanded. His report gave me confidence to pursue our purchase of the home.

Joe is a very thorough home inspector. I've used 3 different home inspectores from various home purchases both in and out of the area, and he exceeded my expectations. the online report complete with pictures and comments was available for review the same evening as the inspection.
Obviously, learning as much as you can about the home you intend to purchase is very important. I highly reccomend Joe Farris as your home inspector.
