Thank you so much to Advanced Termite & House Inspection. Chris was able to inspect a home we are purchasing in a timely manner, and he provided an incredibly detailed report. We are relocating so we were unable to be there for the inspection, but his report provided such thorough explanations and detail that we feel we have all the information necessary to proceed with a good understanding of the home. Thank you!

I highly recommend Chris and his services to anyone who is looking for someone who is professional, punctual, thorough, knowledgeable and respectable as a home inspector. My inspection with Chris exceeded my expectations.
- K.H., June 2022
Chris was excellent, thorough and highly professional. Clearly he is experienced in home expectations and has the added benefit of a personality that is quite helpful in the home purchasing ordeal. I really appreciated the time and patience that he took in responding to my questions and providing details on the inspection. Chris is also a gentleman which I found to be also helpful while discussing the examination of the home my wife and I hope to purchase.
- R.P., May 2022
I am very pleased with this inspection, especially the little details. Many times it is things you don't want to hear but they can save you $$$ down the road and even protect you from potential safety issues. I work in the construction industry and my job is quality control and safety. You represented your profession well.
- F.K., New Bern NC, May 2022
Chris was very professional and a pleasure to work with.
- R.O., Reno NV, December 2021
Chris and his associate did a comprehensive and detailed inspection. He was available to answer any questions after the report was complete. We would recommend him highly!
- M.C., December 2021
Chris took on a challenging task to inspect a 121 year old home that had had multiple additions over the decades and extensive renovations after hurricane Florence in 2018. He was extraordinarily thorough and identified a great many issues that required repair/replacement or that presented safety hazards. He was also careful to note areas that he was not able to inspect so that we were aware that these areas might present risks and issues needing attention. We were also impressed with the speed of completion of the report. We had it in our inboxes before evening on the day of the inspection! (Some of the credit must go to the Office Manager, Deana Matthews.) My wife and I have bought several homes over the years and none of those inspectors met Chris' standard.
After we reviewed his report with our agent, we elected to withdraw our offer, citing the number and seriousness of the inspection's findings. When we do make another offer on property in New Bern, we will certainly ask Chris to do that inspection.
- J.K., SAN ANTONIO TX, October 2021
Chris was great at communicating the process and was very informative on the walk through with the actual inspection of the property I am purchasing. Reading his reports left me with no doubt that he takes his job seriously and has the highest standards of safety for the families he is inspecting for!
- R.T., September 2021

I wasn’t even aware there was something known as a maintenance inspection until reading about inspections on Nextdoor. Chris Matthews was recommended. It was quick and easy getting an appointment. He was on time and explained what he was going to be checking. He was quick and thorough. His report was understandable and supported by pictures. He answered my questions and reassured me about concerns. He recommended a handyman. I would recommend Chris Matthews if you are in need of any inspection.

Give Chris a call and he will take good care of you.
- C.O., Burgaw NC, December 2020
Chris had a great attitude as he approached his work. He was thorough, informative and patient as he explained the inspection process.

I'm a local real estate agent and have called on Chris for a few jobs all of which were done thoroughly, with timely feedback in an easy to understand format to present to a client. He is available for questions if clients are not present at the inspection and goes out of his way to help customers understand the workings of the home. LH

Chris was assiduous in pointing out every feature and safety concern. My wife and I appreciate this kind of care and will absolutely recommend to all new home buyers.
- R.S., November 2020
Being an out of state rental property investor has it’s challenges especially now with COVID-19 and travel restrictions. Chris has executed numerous inspections for me and has always been professional, on time and provides a clear easy readable report that helps my decision process in determining if this property is worth investing in. Fortunately the latest report pointed out some serious issues with the structure and I had to terminate the sale. Without having Chris perform this inspection and terminate report I could of been made a large financial mistake.
Lastly his web based payment system and his password protected report center makes the transaction so simple.

- J.M., November 2020
I have worked with Chris for many years on home and termite inspections, always professional and timely. The presentation of the inspection results and detailed comments and photos are fabulous. The option to create a repair list makes it so easy to request items be repaired/replaced and gives you, the buyer, an opportunity to make comments for the seller; that is great!
- M.H., November 2020
A really in depth job that is the best I have seen! They get it all with some fantastic photographs and detailed write ups!

Chris provided a thorough review of the prospective home we are considering to purchase. I am a licensed structural engineer myself, with over 35 years of experience, and have personally built several homes myself. Chris' review included several items that I missed on my personal walk-thru. I am very satisfied with the comments and concerns he identified, and the recommendations he included in the report. His review was WELL worth more than the fees he charged to do this review. Absolutely recommend him for those considering or in need of a review.

Requested Chris for a 2nd inspection but he was unavailable. He sent a highly recommended replacement Landon Matthews.
- L.B., WASHINGTON NC, August 2020
Absolutely!
- N.T., July 2020
I am pleased on the through inspection that had taken place. This helped me by seeing a lot issues of concerns that need to be discussed with the buyer..

- S.M., July 2020

- D.N., July 2020
This was the 5th such home inspection report that I have read through in the past 2years. That said, Chris did a great job on the evaluation and the report. He is very thorough in in each aspect of the evaluation. The report itself was a very easy read, better than other reports I have had that confuse the seller or buyer.
Chris did a great job and I absolutely recommend him.
- E.J., July 2020
North Carolina is one of the states that do Not require homeowners to disclose any things that are wrong with the property they are selling = "Buyer Beware!". The only peace of mind that you can get, is by having inspections done by certified inspectors.
My real estate agent recommended Chris to inspect the house I am considering purchasing and I am very glad she did. Chris did the general inspection and also a wood destroying insect (termites and other bad bugs) inspection. Chris was able to come out very quickly upon being notified by my agent, which was awesome = so quick. Chris did a very thorough inspection and he found: some electrical problems that are not up to building codes, as well as some water leaks, slow drains, most of the windows not being able to be opened, most of the baseboard heaters not working, water damage, a slightly sagging ceiling and other things that are of concern. Now I have a thorough and accurate report to give to my agent, who can then negotiate with the seller, so that I won't have to bear the cost of all of these problems.
Chris inspected the house at noon and the results were completed and a link sent to me by email that same night, with easy instructions on how to access the inspection reports. I was able to log in to the website in seconds and view the results online and even able to download and save the inspection results in the PDF File format (which every computer is able to open). The format of the inspection results is very easy to read, well laid out and detailed descriptions are included (as well as some pictures even).
I highly recommend Chris. He has replied to my emails very quickly and has answered all of my questions completely. Already told him that if for any reason this house purchase falls through, he will be inspecting the next house I win a bid on. Thanks again Chris for all your help!
- E.V., July 2020
Chris provided a very professional and thorough inspection. We appreciated his 'layman' descriptions to any defects we needed to be aware & how they may or may not cause problems going forward.
- H.F., TAYLORS SC, July 2020
I selected absolutely to recommend Mr. Matthews for his inspections. He was thorough and detailed. I am extremely satisfied with his knowledge and abilities.
- T.K., July 2020
Chris came in and did a thorough, detailed job inspecting the home. We are very happy with his work and the resulting report.
- D.I., July 2020
Thank you for the easy to read and detailed inspections!
- T.N., Wilson NC, July 2020
I would recommend Chris for an inspection as he done an awesome job given all the areas that he could review and inspect on this actual property. He treated the inspection as if it was a property that he was looking into purchasing. To be a first property that I have looked into. He has made it at ease to discuss and of course a learning factor of unknowns within properties.
- R.C., July 2020
Great Job. Done very timely. Report is full-featured and highly useful.
- M.L., Greenville NC, June 2020
Our report was through, detailed, and written in a easy to understand manner.
- V.C., Centereach NY, June 2020
Chris has created a seamless online model for connecting his clients with experienced, professional, and effective inspectors. Reports are in depth with easy access to online PDF's that include pictures and excellent descriptive details for buyers, sellers, and agents. I would highly recommend this company for any and all inspection needs. Great job!!
- J.A., June 2020
I give 5 stars for service, professionalism, communication, friendly. Overall great experience. Chris set me down & explained everything he was doing and everything he found in detail. I’m so pleased with his service I’m hiring him to do a follow up to make sure that everything that the seller agreed to fix is indeed fixed.
- N.H., NEW BERN NC, June 2020
