I'm not sure if it's possible for other inspection companies to compete with this guy. He absolutely covers everything he possibly can during the inspection and does his best to do all he can for his clients. He uses the latest technology (infrared camera, moisture detector, etc) and digs as deep as humanly possible to ensure the home is properly inspected. His documentation, complete with photographs of everything, goes above-and-beyond, anything I was expecting. I think trying to find a better inspector would be a waste of your time. For the quality of service he provides, his prices are beyond fair. The inspection will likely take 3-4 hours - I would 100% suggest you join him for it - you will learn a lot about your home and even about general maintenance items you would likely overlook while living in the house. On top of all the other good stuff, Rick is an awesome guy who is happy to answer questions and take the time to thoroughly explain any questions you have - not once did he seem annoyed or try to brush off any of my numerous questions. Keep in mind that inspectors are unable to complete invasive work during an inspection. Rick is a nice guy so please be fair and respect his word when he says he can't do something (e.g. rip drywall down, etc) - take my word when I say he'll do whatever he possibly can to ensure a complete and accurate report. Lastly, I'll echo what someone else said - if Rick believes something needs further investigation, he'll tell you just that - I like that he doesn't try to claim to know absolutely everything or over-extend what he can actually see through a non-invasive inspection - the honesty is refreshing. Coles Notes: -great inspector -extremely thorough -incredible reporting -very fairly priced -nice guy, would be fun to go for a beer with him -patient, willing to answer questions -A+++++++++++++
