Al Silva, Jr has is the best home inspector I know! He is careful, thorough, and most of all, a fair and ethical person. I like the fact that he is a member of CREIA--the best professional societies that certify home inspectors. He has served on CREIA's boards and follows the ethical principles laid down by the professional home inspector association. I have worked with him on the past 8 real estate transactions where I represented the Buyer. He is able to communicate with buyers from different language and cultural backgrounds, always patient in explaining problems he discovered, and handles questions in a very professional manner. Whenever needed, he can bring on a team of specialists to examine large multi-million dollar homes to ensure a comprehensive inspection of the property. In one such transaction I had, at my Buyer's request, he brought a very impressive and qualified team of professionals to inspect the home. The team included a pool inspector, drone specialist to take videos of the roof, home security expert, fire sprinkler professional--all of whom did an incredible job checking out the property, educating my Buyer in such a way as to exceed both my Buyer's and my expectations. We all love Al. You can be assured you are in good hands when you use his service. read more

Al was awesome! He came highly recommended by our realtor and we are sure happy we found him. We had a prior inspector that was terrible so we reached out to Al to come inspect, he made himself available right away to help us out! He was super detailed and really took his time to inspect the entire house. After he finished he walked us around and explained all the issues and which ones absolutely needed to be fixed for safety. He also recommended vendors/contractors that could help with the items that were found. He was very knowledgeable about everything and really helped us out by finding things before we moved in! A hole was found under the sink, which would have been a nightmare. He also found a leaking sink! It was a fully redone house and we were skeptical if we needed an inspection at first but after we had one couldn't have been happier! There were so many items that needed to be fixed! Overall couldn't have been happier with the quality and detail of Al! Highly recommend do not use any other inspector, Al is really the best! read more

Al did a terrific job inspecting a condo for me. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and took lots of photos which are very helpful because I'm a visual person. And his descriptions of what doesn't meet current building codes will be very helpful if I end up buying the condo and the seller offers me a reduced price to pay for some of the repairs. I'll know exactly how something needs to be fixed, so the licensed expert I hire knows exactly what's needed. And he's proactive about items he has concerns about, especially when the plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems need building code upgrades, you want someone who's looking out for your best interests. Al is a kind gentleman to boot, and I truly appreciated his efforts and his ability to fit me quickly into his schedule. Thank you, Al! read more

Al did a great job on my home inspection. He found a few high ticket items that I really need to negotiate on my home. He checked all the windows and doors. He even went thru all the electrical and plumbing. He found electrical safety issues and even a huge issue with the shower. My only suggestion for improvement would be to incorporate VIDEO into the report. For my shower issue, it is something that truly needs to see VIDEO because it has to do with movement and loose pieces. A photo does nothing for this particular issue. That aside, Al did a great job and I'd highly recommend him to others in the future. The report was very easy to read and follow. read more

Mr Home Inspector gave my home a thorough inspection, an informative walk-through, and a report that I actually understood - complete with pictures and arrows. He tested EVERYTHING - every outlet. Every appliance. Every switch. Ceilings. Floors. Walls, Doors. Windows. You name it. He showed me things about the house I never even thought of and his background as "Mr. Fix-it" was really helpful because he was able to show me things that were going to need attention in the future, in addition to the list of things the seller needed to fix. I knew exactly what I was getting into. I highly recommend him. read more

Al Silva is the best inspector money can buy! He is responsible, extremely thorough, and gets your report back on time. He is always available to answer any questions you may have. He even offers a free welcome tour of your new home, where he comes out after you move in and shows you where your important features are located in your home such as gas and water shut offs, electrical panels, etc. and he even explains important maintenance on items such as your heating system, water heaters, filters, etc. I would give him 10 stars if it was available. Use him and you won't be disappointed. read more
