We contacted Mr. Collins after a recommendation by some friends who previously used their service when purchasing a home. We have lived in the same house for 15 years, one which we used a cheaper inspector for prior to purchase, and have always regretted it because not long after we moved in we started having issues. We knew we wanted someone thorough, honest, and that would show us the issues and help us understand. Purchasing a house, that we hoped to be our "forever home," at almost twice the price of our current home, was something we were not getting into lightly. Mr. and Mrs. Collins were awesome! They walked us through the entire house, inside, out, and under! Addressed every issue we had, found many we didn't know we had, and even found a "secret room" that is gonna be an awesome storage spot, that we had no idea about! They were very transparent, explained everything in detail, and helped us pick out key issues that were important we address and can use to negotiate with our seller. We had a contractor out to the house today by Mr. Collins recommendation and the issues Mr. Collins found only on the roof and siding alone came to $25,500 in expected repairs, WELL WORTH the cost of a quality inspection! read more
