I've hired Vince for two home purchases and will continue to do so. Not only does he do an excellent job finding and documenting potential issues, he also is full of extremely helpful advice for homeowners. He truly goes above and beyond. Hiring Vince has given us tremendous peace of mind and helped us identify and form a plan for remediating issues with the home we are purchasing. I have recommended Vince to 3 people who've used him and they all have the same feedback.
- M.M., December 2020

Vince was absolutely amazing! As first time home buyers my wife and I had a lot of basic questions about the many aspects of our potential first home, and Vince was extremely engaging and thorough in answering each and every one. He never made us feel rushed or like we were in his way, it was an extremely pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
- H.M., July 2020

Vince was great. Enthusiastic about getting under the hood of the house and seeing what's really going on. Took time to answer all of our questions as well. We were very happy. Thanks again Vince!
- W.M., June 2020

Vince was thorough, professional, and easy to work with (even though we were in the midst of a public health crisis and shelter in place orders). We'd recommend him to anyone in the area!

- S.M., August 2018

Vince was very thorough and very easy to deal with. He not only answered all of our many questions, but he also gave some tips on home maintenance (e.g., how to remove the cover of the humidifier in order to change the filter).

It was really a great experience to hire this guy to inspect our new house. he was extremely thorough, professional, precise and friendly. Since he arrived, we started to ask him questions one after another, and he was not bothered at all. He answered all questions properly and gave his recommendations. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family members. Thank You Vince

- K.L., October 2015

on time, organized, nice report, provided valuable hints
- A.F., September 2015

Thorough, methodical, professional and personable. In a nut shell, these are the things that I think you would expect from a home inspector. Vince is each of them. He was recommended, to me, by my realtor. She said, "He's the best. No, really... This guy is great!" She was far from wrong. Vince was very polite and incredibly professional. He checked everything in the house and explained his process from top to bottom. It only took a few minutes and it felt like I was just hanging out with an old friend, catching up, while he walked through the house making notes and explaining things. I was especially impressed with the care he took to ensure that things were left how he found them. He even brought along a pair of "house shoes" so as to not track dirt through the home while he completed the inspection. In this case, I am not the seller, but selling your house is a very emotional thing, to some. Vince's demeanor and "leave no trace" style of inspection earned a great deal of respect, from me. He promised a complete report that evening and I was not disappointed. He broke things down with pictures and everyday language, rather than techno-babble. If you are purchasing a house, or just need an inspection, Vince should be at the top of your list. Personally, I think Vince is the BEST inspector that I have worked with. I'd use him again. I'd recommend him to anyone.
- A.T., August 2015

This is my first home purchase and really scary experience. However, it makes you feel really good an reassured that it's been thoroughly inspected and given in so many words a thumbs up. Vince was very professional and the experience was worth every dollar spent. Thanks for the reassurance.
- P.C., August 2015

Vince was outstanding! He arrived early & started the inspection. He was very thorough. He invited me to walk along with him for the whole inspection. He pointed things out that needed attention/repair before moving in or what I should do after I move it. He had lots of tips & suggestions. He took in looking at everything & in explaining things to me. He sent me the report (with pictures) from the Inspection the evening of the Inspection Day. Absolutely GREAT Service! I "HIGHLY" recommend Vince if you're looking for a thorough Inspector.
- B.R., August 2015

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, no matter how small, during the inspection. I feel that you did a thorough job and it puts me at ease knowing what I will find in my new home. Thanks for making the experience a positive one!

Vince is a very personably guy with excellent customer service skills.

- D.S., November 2014

great service, clear explanation, helpful report
- W.G., November 2014

This is my second experience with Vince and his is the most thorough inspector you could want. He takes the job most seriously and inspects all areas of the home, not just giving the hard to reach areas a brief "once over". He always explains what his is looking for, and keeps you informed as to the things he finds with useful comments and suggestions even before the formal inspection report. All his findings are thoroughly documented and he gets the inspection report to you promptly, often the same day as the inspection itself. The inspection document is well written and covers all the finding plus, it contains reference pictures of all areas, even those that pass inspection. This way a new homeowner can keep this record and reference any changes in the future. Overall, Vince is an excellent inspector and I would not hesitate to call on his services again.
- G.E., November 2014

Vince, you did a great home inspection. You started outside the home and worked your way inside. You covered all the bases. I was impressed with your ability to stay focused. I am so glad I chose you to do my home inspection. I can't wait to brag about how good you are to my friends and family. All the items of concern were noted and the report was sent out in a timely fashion. Thank you again and keep up the great work that you do, Frank and Joanne Spada.
- F.S., Sterling Heights MI, November 2014

Vince was very professional and thorough as he performed our 3 hour home inspection. He pointed out home issues and discussed them with us as he found them. He answered all of our questions completely. He paid special attention to specific concerns we had. Vince's final report was comprehensive, including photos of home issues with easy to understand recommended repairs or remedies. We had been told we need a new roof by two roofing contractors, however our roof is only in need of some minor repairs. As a result of our independent home inspection with Vince,we have saved ourselves the cost of a new roof and can use our money to make actual needed repairs and replacements on our home. The cost of the inspection was within the industry standards and has given us the needed information to make appropriate financial choices about our home. Thank you Vince!
