We have used Donald James twice for home inspections. He is the consummate professional: thorough, prompt, detail oriented, efficient, and experienced. His reports are impeccably prepared and have offered us (and our real estate agent) the information necessary to understand the good, the bad, and the ugly of the property we are buying. This, in turn, has allowed us to make well-informed decisions about how to proceed during the due diligence period, as well as how we (as new owners) might need to plan for improvements on the property in 1, 5, 10, and 15 years into the life of the property. His counsel on these matters are worth its weight in gold. Donald is well- seasoned in his area of expertise, and as such, he is savvy, knowledgeable, and 'street-wise'. To me though, most importantly, he is just a good guy who is humble, kind, and just really easy to work with. We offer him our highest recommendation- unequivocally. read more

Donnie at ECI inspections was the best choice I made when looking for an independent inspector to thoroughly inspect my new home. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and curtious during the process. He even took his shoes off while he was inside! Being a first time home buyer, it meant alot to me that he cared that much for my biggest purchase. Donnie took the time to explain to me everything he found, what the potential causes and long term effects could be, and how serious the issues are. He also took his time to do a very through inspection lasting about 3hrs, and this was a new construction home!!! To tie it all together, Donnie was also timely. He was able to provide a fully detailed, and easy to read report of everything he found, within 24hrs! In conclusion, I would highly recommend Donnie at ECI inspections to help ensure you are making a great purchase! read more

I'm an out of state real estate investor and have relied on Donald to be my 3rd party/neutral eyes and hands on the deal before fully committing to buying rental properties. His work has always been of high quality and very thorough. His communication is excellent and he takes the time and care to explain what he saw at the property in a down-to-earth manner that is easy to understand. He is good about helping to triage the severity and impact of findings for follow up. I plan to continue to work with Donald and ECI Inspections and can give my recommendation to others to do the same. read more

Don was great and PUNCTUAL. A huge plus in my book, as I had many things to do that day. The inspection was thorough and Don was honest in what was a critical fix and what could wait. I would definitely recommend ECI inspections to anyone in the market for a new home! read more

We used ECI Inspections to inspection our new home and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Donald was on time, thorough, and fun to chat with. He got our report to us very quick which allowed our builder more time to correct the issues he found. read more
