- P.S., Wright MN, March 2014
Thanks Tom, Due to the weather conditions & time of year the inspection was limited but still covered most of the items we were concerned about. You were very professional and detailed but yet easy to talk to and willing to listen to our concerns. We are eager to see the results of the water test as that's a final detail in the inspection, thanks Kevin & Mary Swanson

Fantastic report and very thorough. I love having it on the computer. I can look back at it at any time so I don't forget what repairs I want/need to make. I really appreciate the suggestions and specifications in the report that I need for making the repairs. The photos you provide with specific areas highlighted and/or with arrows are very helpful. Thank you!!
- S.A., June 2013
You were very efficient and thorough. Your performance instilled confidence in me regarding your ability to perform your job.
- A.P., June 2013
How do I remember Doug Robbins???? Because that is the man that did the Inspection, not Tom Ruemenapp. Doug is GREAT, very courteous to us all, very helpful to us all in answering our questions, and offering suggestions. Doug was extremely thorough in his 3 1/2 hours at a home without a basement. After his inspection, I met with Doug outside, where he filled me in on items that needed attention,while pointing out the home was wonderfully maintained ,but a few things should be done soon, and then kept up to speed on a regular basis.There was one(1) code problem(cat run through the wall leading to the garage), which I will see to getting done before I occupy the home. Other than that, the home is beautiful and spotless, and should be a pleasure to live in and maintain. I will refer Doug and "Big Moose" to ALL!!!! Jim Maniere Buyer's Agent for this property. MANY THANKS!!!!!!!
- J.M., Shelby Township MI, June 2013
Tom was not the inspector, Dan Whitten was. Dan does an excellent job, He is very through and patient. Works with the clients and answers any questions that they have. Will continue to recommend Dan for every inspection.

Tom, My wife and I would like to compliment Andy on the very professional and complete inspection. Andy is a true professional, courteous, engaging and a true asset to your business. Please give him a "Well Done" and our sincere thanks. Prior to this inspection, we weren't sure of the value of this expense. I can tell you with all sincerity that we have "drank the Kool-Aid" and will never buy a property without one. While the results of this inspection have caused us to not purchase the property, it was well worth the piece of mind to know we weren't getting a "money pit"

Great job Tom......I would recommend you and Big Moose to anyone needing a home inspection..... Would it be possible to have a printed copy of the report sent to me? My printer is on the fritz and I am stubborn enough not to get a new one until I figure out why this one does not work. Thanks, Ed Weinecke

Tom, thanks for a thorough report. I'll purchase this home with a clear idea of the items that will require my attention, and as importantly, with the confidence of knowing I can trust the overall state of the building, water, and septic system. I'm happy to have done business with you and will not hesitate to recommend you to others!

- A.W., Royal Oak MI, March 2010
We have moved many timesthroughout the years and have had to purchase more homes then most people. We have had quite a few home inspections and we would like to say Tom Ruemenapp did the most professional and thorough home inspection we have ever had done.. The inspection was performed in the middle of winter and Tom still got on the roof and completed other parts of the inspection that most inspectors would have just bypassed. Tom did not miss a thing. We would highly recommend Tom to anyone requiring a house inspection.
- C.S., Cheboygan MI, March 2010
We are extremely satisfied with our home inspection! Money well spent! Tom inspected everything pertaining to the house thoroughly and in great detail. The reports he prepared are very well constructed and user friendly. The pictures are very helpful with arrows pointing to the exact areas of concern. Tom took time to explain everything to us and made recommendations on how to properly repair the problems. We highly recommend Tom to anyone in need of a home inspection!
- E.S., Posen MI, March 2010
Thanks for the great job.
- C.R., Redford Township MI, February 2010

Tom's inspection reports, with the inclusion of all of the corresponding photos, serves as a perfect repair list. It let me know exactly what I was getting into. I would strongly recommend Big Moose to anyone purchasing a home.

We were very pleased with Tom's swift response to our request. The information he gave us on maintaining our well and septic system will be invaluble due to this being our first home with a well and septic system. No question we asked was too trivial and we were never treated like a question was a stupid question! Remarkable! We were very impresses with his professional and personable nature. We will surely recommend Tom and Big Moose to any of our friends that will need their services. Brian and Dianna Johnson Atlanta, MI
