Testimonials
Shane is an expert in construction and inspection. Shane and our real estate agent had a longstanding professional relationship that promoted the inspection process. Shane introduced himself in a friendly way and spent some time getting to know us. Shane explained the inspection process as he went along and readily answered our questions. As a result, we have a better understanding of the property's materials and construction techniques, strong and weak points. Shane arrived early to the property and delivered a first rate report on time, completing the inspection process. We recommend Shane and his home inspection services whole heartedly.

Shane did a fantastic job for me. He took his time and meticulously went through the external and internal house. He has taken fantastic photographs of all findings, major and minor, that I will use for years to come. I really appreciate his careful attention to detail and the time spent in this most difficult time in America's history. Best of luck to Shane and his family!

I honestly didn't know a home inspection could be so much fun! I think it is very important to work with someone who will get the job done efficiently, but also enjoy their time while doing it. Shane was extremely thorough with his inspection. I could tell he had lots of experience and knew what he was doing. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection. I am pretty sure that we are best friends now!

Shane Rittenhouse is the only person I would want to do a home inspection. He was thorough and professional, looking absolutely everywhere, noting and photographing any and every problem. He made sure not to track in any dirt, or damage any part of the house, inside and out, during his inspection.
Shane was also very kind and patient, which was much appreciated by this first time home buyer! He took away the tension from what was potentially a stressful situation, and made it both a pleasant and instructional experience.
I can't recommend him highly enough.

Shane was thorough and took the time to explain issues he found as he went through the inspection. He was also very knowledgeable about how certain building codes have changed since our house was built. Because of Shane's attention to detail and information he provided to me during the inspection, I am now better able to understand the inspection report.

Thank you so much for your willingness to perform a home inspection on my almost one-year-old home w/in 1 1/2 hrs after my initial call to you. You heard panic in my voice & you were genuinely concerned that I hadn't had any luck w/hiring a home inspector on such short notice & that my LAST walk-thru w/the builder's rep was just days away. You took time away from your family time (w/their ok) to spend almost 6 hours (until 8:00 p.m., I believe) going over my 3,000 sf home w/a fine tooth comb. You came prepared w/a device to measure the unevenness of my yard. You were patient w/me & answered all questions I had. I have peace of mind knowing what the minor & somewhat major problems w/my home are before signing off on the rep's paper.Had I not hired Mr. Rittenhouse, this decision would have haunted me until I sold the house. My report was detailed w/a table of contents, pics, descriptions problems, & instructions for repair/replacement. Awesome 35-pg report! Thanks so much!

Dear Mr. Rittenhouse,
I am very pleased with your recent home inspection. I especially liked your immediate attention and willingness to accommodate my wife and me with an appointment within 24 hours. Both of us felt at ease with you and we found you to be very thorough and knowledgeable, with great attention to detail. You found things in our home that I never would have thought of and I now feel comfortable knowing our home has had a thorough inspection. I especially liked your professionalism, the thoroughness of your work, your friendliness and your being down-to-earth in explaining each aspect of the report shown with photos of trouble spots. I seemed a personal endeavor for you, honest and straightforward. When the inspection was completed, you provided us with a computer generated report and reviewed the document with my wife and me.
Please know that you may use this short note to show prospective customers. Sincerely, Stuart Chaplain
