We used Professional Inspectors Group in January of 2017 and Dean Abel came out to inspect our future house. Upon contacting Dean by email, he got back to us promptly with a quote and sent us a sample report of a similar house that he had inspected. The inspection price was very reasonable compared to others. All of the other inspectors that we contacted had higher prices (some being complete ripoffs - $900?), and none sent sample reports for our reference. At the site, Dean arrived on time and walked us through the house, explaining everything to us in both technical and layman terms. He said that he didn't mind if we follow him around. Dean offered us advice on prioritizing things to have the owners fix and things we can easily do ourselves. Dean was very prompt in writing the inspection report, which was very considerate given that we were on a tight schedule with our option window. We would definitely contact him for future inspections. read more

100000000000+ stars!!!!! AMAZING! I received a 47 page report with pictures and a full descriptive paragraph of what was found, what it needs to be corrected, recommended work, detail of each picture, and the grade of concern/problem on a scale of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green. This was the absolute most complete, extensive, thorough, professional service. I would pay triple the cost to use this company! Just amazing! We canceled the offer on the first house we got an inspection on. it was a big FAIL! 6 days later we contracted for a different house and needed an inspection. Called them and they went in 48 hours! I would recommend this company and offer to pay for your inspection if they didn't do a job the way I described! That is how impressed I am with them! THANK YOU! MY FAMILY THANKS YOU!

We used Dean Able for a pre-purchase inspection last week. We were flying in from out of town to meet with him, and he arrived right on time. Text communications with him were efficient, and he got back to us quickly. The inspection itself was lengthy! He crawled into and on top of everything that had access. The report he generated and emailed at the end was a whopping 62 pages long, with many photos. It will be a great resource for us. I actually got bids from several other inspectors. Surprisingly, the "highest rated" inspectors on Yelp never bothered to reply to my request for a bid (!). But Dean replied quickly with a good bid. He was a tad more expensive than some bids, but his promptness and responsiveness gave me the confidence that he'd be there and do a good job. read more

Dean was very professional and thorough. He did a complete inspection of the home taking pictures and notes. Once complete, he walked us through his findings showing us the areas that were of concern and others that were more cosmetic. He answered all of our questions and we felt comfortable moving forward with the purchase. He also supplied us with documentation of his findings that included his pictures. It's a great reference that documents appliances, concerns to share with the seller, etc. I would recommend Dean Abel to anyone who wants assurance they are investing in a good property prior to signing those papers.

Profesional Inspectors Group (Dean Abel) did it again! After a very thorough foundation inspection a month ago, he performed another exceptional work with the frame foundation of my family's soon to be new home. He spent 2 hours inspecting the entire frame, T-ply, exterior, etc... The report ended up 20 pages long and sent it directly to the project manager. Today, I received notification from the project manager that everything in the report has been taken care off. I am definitely going to have a high quality build thanks to Dean Abel from professional inspector Group. read more

Dean Abel with Professional Inspectors Group was referred to us by our real estate agent years ago and since has performed several inspections for us on used home purchases as well as an 11 month inspection before our 12 month builder's warranty ran out on our new home. He is extremely knowledgeable, punctual and very thorough in his analysis, timely with his reports, and has very reasonable fees, comparable to other inspectors' "discounted" prices. As I prepare to become a real estate agent in my own right, I will always refer my own clients to Dean first. read more

Always a great experience working with Dean! He is very thorough in his reports and they are always done timely. He also makes a point to walk through his finding while on site and is great about addressing any follow up questions that might come up. A great benefit for homeowners who have a limited window to decide if they are moving forward with most likely the biggest purchase they will make in their lifetime. Dean (Professional Inspectors Group) is the best and their pricing is competitive as well. I recommend them to everyone! read more

Even though this was a new construction, Mr. Abel found deficiencies the builder missed (dripping pipe, appliances not anchored, etc). If he had not found the dripping pipe, my first week in my new home would have been a disaster. He was very thorough and explained the deficiencies he found as we conducted the inspection, he was even able to get pictures of the roof. Mr Abel had one of the best prices and he was able to accommodate my busy schedule. I had a great experience and will use him again. read more

honestly the right decision not only to get a home inspection pre- closing but getting a home inpection from mr. dean abel. I walked with his lead through every aspect of my home from around its interior to exterior to on the roof and through the attic . The builders punch list was about 8 items , deans consisted of 50+ pages and beacause of those pages the builder was obligated to address every item on deans list wich they did all in one week . To say the least " dean pays for himself " read more

Dean was our inspector for our house we purchased 5 years ago in Riverside neighborhood. It was an old house, built in 1925, and Dean was very knowledgable with older homes. He did so well we used him again last month to inspect another old house in King William. We ended up not purchasing the house because Dean found many issues with the house after his thorough inspection. We look forward to using Dean again on our next purchase. read more

Dean is the best. Professional, punctual, responsive, and thorough. Buying our new home from out of the area is hard enough.

I have been involved in some aspect of the real estate business for most of the past 35 years and can say that Dean's report was the most thorough that I have ever seen on a home. Look no further - Dean's your man. read more

Had a great experience with Dean Abel of this group. I had two home inspections done where one was a brand new build and one was an old build. He found a lot in the old build which empowered us to walk away from it and the new build, that we ended up moving into he found stuff that needed to be fixed by the building contractor that I would've missed it was just left me read more

Dean was awesome to work with, easy going, he didn't rush through the house inspection and was very thorough. He saved me alot of $$ with the things he pointed out and that I'd have to repair later.
