The inspector I had was Will. We introduced ourselves after I arrived at the house, and he told me that I could shadow him while he performed the inspection or wait until he was done. I thought that was a nice gesture, and it shows that he understood that a home owner would want to know what is being inspected. This helps for future knowledge, should the process of buying the house be completed at closing. One MUST know what is hidden under the surface once the excitement of finding a house to purchase wears off. Reality then sets in, and usually with a price tag. Better to know beforehand than to find out later. Once Will completed the inspection, we discussed some of his findings and when the report would be emailed to me. He also listened to the concerns I had and noted them in his report, as needed. During the course of the conversation he would explain the varying degrees of severity said issues may cause, if any at all. These are is such a good qualities to have. It shows that he understood the buyer's perspective and made it easy to follow. This allows for knowing what, and maybe even how, things should be repaired in the future. I was thoroughly impressed and would recommend US Inspect to others. I was even asked to get a few more of Will's business cards to share. Thank you US Inspect, for employing knowledgeable, courteous, patient, thorough and down to earth employee. This makes the house buying process much smoother. Sincerely, K D read more

July 2016 Seven years ago, I was selling my home in the Short Pump area of Richmond, VA. I had only owned the home for five years. The purchaser hired Kurt Froelich, an inspector from US Inspect. In reviewing Kurt's detailed inspection report, he identified several issues with my house that had not been discovered by the home inspector I hired when I purchased my house. I was so impressed with Kurt's work, I saved his business card for seven years. The time came once again to purchase a house. I told my realtor about my experience with Kurt and, fortunately, she knew him well. Luckily, he was still working for US Inspect. I finally met Kurt and I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and experience as a home inspector. On the day of inspection, he explained the inspection process and what he would inspect, and he walked me through areas of concern. I received his inspection report promptly with explicate detail and photographs. And he courteously spent additional time answering my follow up questions by phone. Purchasing a home is the most expensive investment I have ever made and his thoroughness in uncovering potential issues was an invaluable part of the process. Kurt Froelich with US Inspect is a top-notch home inspector. Nancy V. read more

I had Kurt do my inspection and I disagree with what Tim S says below! He did an amazing job! Being a first time home buyer, I was extremely nervous about the whole process- but I went with my realtor and Kurt for he inspection and he was great! He showed me everything that was found that should be fixed before moving in! He was honest and walked me through everything he looks for! It was great to be a part of the inspection and see exactly what was needed and what was in good condition! He found the little things as far as an outlet not functioning properly to the big plumbing issue that should be fixed prior to moving in! He was wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone new buying a house or a person moving!!! Wonderful experience over all and I feel great about his inspection and all he did for me! I advise anyone to go do the inspection walk through with him bc he's wonderful at giving detail and explaining things to the buyer!!! Great and excellent job Kurt!!!! Thanks for your hard work! read more

Josh Cranor inspected a home for my client. Overall the inspection went well, however he indicated the gas logs weren't working. I notified the listing agent stating that perhaps the propane tank was empty. The agent responded stating there was propane in the tank and the gas logs are in fact operable. With that in mind, my client and I did a little investigating the next day when we were at the house meeting the HVAC inspector. I thought that perhaps the pilot needed to be lit. My client checked to see if the gas was on and it was turned off at the tank. Once he turned it on at the tank and in the house, we were able to light the pilot and the logs did, in fact work properly. I think Josh should have checked to make sure the gas was turned on. By taking the steps we did, we were able to confirm they were in working order thereby not an item that needed to be fixed. Linda Earnhardt Long & Foster read more

My Buyer and I are very please with Kurt's inspection and report. He attended to all of the important details and did an outstanding job of explaining fine points to the Buyer and I. He is skilled in writing up the report in an objective, factual manner that does not unnecessarily alarm the Buyer or insult the Seller. He understands the difference between a defect and cosmetic issues as well as the building codes applicable to the time the home was built. This allowed both parties to focus on the important aspects of his findings and not become sidetracked and confused about items that are good to know but not defects. I always learn something from Kurt's inspections and my Buyer was relieved by having so much information about her future home-to-be. I will always recommend Kurt! read more

US Inspect has the most thorough and professional services ever! I worked with Jim Wright and he did an awesome job! He was very prompt! In fact, maybe an hour early to our appointment already working on the roof and crawl space. He offered great home improvement/prevention tips. You can tell he was very passionate about his work. He made my very first home inspection so easy to understand. I learned a lot. He gave me great recommendations. He had very modern technology to fulfill his job. Thoroughly went over my inspection step by step and took awesome pictures! I can go on and on about his services but just to simplify it, AWESOME! I would highly recommend Jim and US Inspect for your home inspection needs! read more

I was very pleased with my inspection! It was very thorough and Will did a great job of explaining things and walking through it all with me. He went through every photo so I would know what I was looking at when the report came. The inspection report I received on the house I am selling paled in comparison. I was so grateful that Will's report was so much more detailed and thorough. I feel much more comfortable about the home I'm buying because of this inspection. Will was also very attentive and answered all of my questions in a professional manner but in terms that I understood since I'm not a plumbing/HVAC/electrical expert. read more

I had a fabulous experience with Kurt Froelich of US Inspect. He spent several hours conducting the inspection of my new home. He went through all sorts of details with me, including explaining a very complicated four- unit heat and cooling system. He pointed out a lot of features of the infrastructure of the home that I would not have appreciated without his help. He left me with a good sense of what I can expect in terms of repairs and maintenance over the next few years. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful in explaining things to someone who is not a professional in the field. I highly recommend him. read more

As a REALTOR, I have the opportunity to work with and see the results from lots of different inspection companies. USInspect is superb. Whenever my clients use Kevin Salva, they are assured that they will have a thorough inspection of and "introduction" to their new home. In addition to checking everything, he takes the time to explain features and reviews all issues found so the clients fully understand them and can make an informed decision on how they wish to proceed. He makes himself available to the client should they have any questions after the inspection. USInspect and Kevin Salva are true professionals! read more

This was our first experience with U.S. Inspect, and we were incredibly impressed. Mack was thorough and really informative as he inspected the property. We learned a lot of great information as new homebuyers from him, and his attention to detail was phenomenal. He was helpful in suggesting improvements and also necessary steps to avoid potential issues. We left with a better understanding of our new home and a great roadmap toward sustaining and improving it. Also, he was quick with quality recommendations. Prepare to take a lot of notes on your phone, and for a very professional-grade, quality experience. read more

Josh Cranor inspected the home I am buying. He is a very honest and thorough person. He did everything with excellence and noted all of the things that a new buyer would not notice. I was very pleased with his feedback to me. He has given me assurance and increased my level of comfort with the purchase of this home. The few things he did jot down for replacing/repairing were really minor and he also educated me on the right questions to ask regarding the heating and cooling system, as well as something as simple (but dangerous as the dryer pipe) Thank you Josh for your professional and thorough feedback. read more

My realtor scheduled an inspection for me- first time home buyer. Josh was my inspector. I was only there for the last 30 min of the inspection but my realtor said that he was on time and professional. When I arrived he greeted me and explained what he was doing. Josh also explained the process and asked if I had any concerns. I showed him several other items that I was concerned with and he made a notation of them and included them in his final report. I felt at ease with Josh and would highly recommend him!!! Thank you Josh and the US Inspect team for a great professional job!!!! read more

I just had my home inspection with Kurt Froelich. I would recommend Kurt to anyone looking to have their new home inspected. He walked me through the entire process, what he was looking for and did it in such a professional manner. He would always stop and answer any questions that I had and confirmed that I understand what he found or was during the inspection. Kurt was excellent. The inspection report that Kurt provided was excellent. He had provided very detailed pictures with summaries that was very easy to follow and understand. You will be in excellent hands with Kurt. read more

This is/was our first experience with the whole home purchase and inspection. Our realtor spoke very highly of the company and at no point did either one disappoint. Josh was so thorough and explained all of his notes and answered any and all questions. He really made us feel comfortable with our decision and I am so happy to have met him and had him complete our inspection. There wasn't anything that was overlooked and ... he saved the life of a lizard in the process! =) Would recommend Josh and the company with the highest regard to anyone that is in need of a home inspection! read more

My husband and i bought a new construction home that came with a one year warranty. We decided to have our home inspected before it was up so i contacted our seller and asked who to use. He said tho use US inspect as that is who he uses for all his homes. Contacting the business to setting up the appointment was easy. The inspector did a thorough job while he was here and even showed me some of his equipment and what it did. I felt at complete ease when he was here. Even the digital copy of the inspection was super easy to understand. Highly recommend this business. read more

Kurt Froehling was absolutely the most thorough and transparent housing professional with whom I have ever worked. He was thorough in his inspection and detailed in his report, which he sent in a timely manner. He got dirty shimmying into our attic crawl space and in the narrow space under the house. His photos accompanying his written statements made it clear what work needed to be done. I am unable to give superlatives that will not fall short of adequately describing this exceptionally performed inspection. I highly recommend Kurt Froehling and USInspect. read more

Will Wake from US inspect was our Realtor's suggestion and he couldn't have been more spot on! Will arrived in a timely manner, he was energetic and friendly and ready to get down to business. He asked us for our specific concerns and made us feel confident that he was knowledgeable and there to help. He was very kind and patient, answering all of our questions and providing us answers to things we were unsure about. Will was efficient and professional and provided us with a thorough and complete report by the evening of inspection day. Thanks Will! read more

US Inspect just did an inspection of a home currently under contract for us. Kurt Froelich did a fantastic job not only at being timely, professional and extremely thorough, but he also took the time to explain certain aspects of operation and/or maintenance of anything in the house that I was not familiar with and had questions about. Very knowledgeable! Additionally, the inspection was conducted between 9am and 12pm this morning, and by 4pm, I had the completed inspection report in my email. Couldn't ask for more! read more

I used US Inspect for a home inspection for the home that we are buying. They were great to work with, and I liked that you could schedule and pay for the inspection quickly and easily online. Kurt did a very thorough job with our inspection. I was impressed with how he explained all of the major systems and any defects that he found. Our report was ready that same evening and really helped us with our closing process. I would recommend US Inspect and Kurt in particular to anyone purchasing a home! read more
