Randy and his team are the perfect team to inspect your home. The house I am purchasing is only 10 years old. So I considered skipping the inspection. Was i glad I hired Randy and his team! Even a new home can have deficiencies that either the builder skipped on or even in just 10 years materials can fail, and builder quality can show up its ugly head.
Every question I had was answered professionally and courteously. Best of all I learned all the technical mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems of the property. So don't skip a home inspection even on a new build! you will not regret it.
Randy will not disappoint!.

Randy Ryning did an outstanding job providing a focused, thorough and honest assessment of the pre-purchase condition of our new home. He carefully moved from Exterior (roof, foundation, structural, siding, drainage, heat pumps) to Interior (HVAC, electrical, flooring, appliances) and highlighted areas that met standards as well as those that needed repair. He took the time to personally walk us through areas of concern and explain why they were below standards.
I wish we had Randy as an inspector for all of our previous homes. Great Job!! Thanks!!

I became aware of Randy's services when a local realtor retained him to do an inspection of my property awaiting final sale. I was so impressed with his attention to detail and professionalism that I hired him to help me with the inspections of my new home under construction. The initial inspection revealed important structural issues that needed attention -- issues I would never have seen or understood. I cannot say enough good things about Randy's expertise. I am very grateful to have found him and will use his services again.
- C.E., October 2021

- B.Z., September 2021
I could not have asked for a better inspector! From the quick response to my initial contact to the super fast turn-around on providing the report, Randy was the epitome of competence and professionalism. Even though the property is small, he spent several hours going over it with the proverbial fine-toothed comb, from donning hazmat gear to squeeze into the tiny crawl space under house to bringing a giant ladder to get into the little space above the vaulted ceilings, and he also had a drone to visualize the roof. As it happens he discovered a number of crucial issues that only such a thorough inspection would have revealed, for which I am eternally grateful. Also he is very personable and good at explaining all the facets of his report and gave me some very useful tips on how to maintain the property. Really inspirational!
- B.K., Washington DC, September 2021
