Very happy with my inspection with Oliver Yared. He was very thorough, and had the patience to explain to me in details all the various issues he unearthed, and the various options (and cost estimates) to address them. Best inspector I ever used, would recommend to anyone.

Oliver has been amazing! He took the time to explain what was needed to be done after the inspection, and even helped provide information I needed to get Home Insurance. Weeks later, I emailed him asking if he knew of contractors I could utilize to fix the issues listed in the inspection, and he blew me away with the details and contacts that he provided. If I buy another property in the area, I would definitely ask him to do the inspection again. He just goes out of his way and has been so helpful!

They answered the phone first call and scheduled a time to come out right away, was only like couple day wait. Very quick to send over the inspection results and offered a completely electronic way to sign and pay for everything while I was out of town.

My wife and I recently used 'the home examiner.' Oliver was prompt and professional. Our house is in a historic district and he was extremely knowledgeable about this sort of home. He gave clear answers to all our questions and even sent us a list of trades people and businesses as an additional resource. Recently I had a question and gave him a call. He actually answered the phone and was able to help me right then with some recommendations.

Highly recommend using The Home Examiner for your home inspection! Oliver was very thorough and answered all of our questions as we walked through the property. He let us know of any current and potential issues with the home and gave us suggestions on how to fix them. We received our inspection report just a few hours after the walkthrough.

I am very pleased with my experience with The Home Examiner. Oliver was kind, responsive, and scheduled an inspection for the next business day. He invited me to walk through the house with him and explained everything he saw to me, even fielding some of my ridiculous questions. His candor and honesty made me feel confident in my home purchase.

I can’t say enough good things about Oliver and The Home Examiner. He was extremely friendly, professional, easy going and was very knowledgeable and provided insight into potential future repairs/replacements prior to our home purchase. He was also able to provide some recommendations for roofers and land survey companies for upcoming projects. Anyone looking for a trusted home inspection company, look no further than The Home Examiner. Thanks again.

I can't recommend Home Examiner enough. He found multiple serious issues in the home that we never would have found. It was like watching a detective run around a crime scene and pull together details that anyone would easily overlook. He even put together his report same day, with detailed comments and clear and high quality photos.

If you're getting an inspection done, you should go with this company.

Oliver was professional and thorough with our condo inspection. I appreciated that he took the time to show me where things like the water and electric shut offs were, as well as making a point to show both optional updates as well as necessary repairs. Would absolutely use The Home Examiner again!

Oliver was very thorough and professional. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions about the process and what he was looking for, and he allowed me to tag along for a good portion of the inspection. He answered all of my questions and showed me things that I didn't notice that were of interest. It was clear that me following was slowing him way down, but he didn't seem to mind and was very friendly and professional.

If I ever have to have another home inspected, I will definitely be going with The Home Examiner.

Needed an inspection within 5 days of offer and they were able to accommodate. Clearly had a very good understanding of the 100+ year old house we were buying and did a very thorough job inspecting all aspects of the house. Would absolutely consult with them again.

Words cannot describe how happy I am! I did my research and found a home inspector that I can also personally leave a 5 star review! Steve and Oliver really were detailed oriented and explained everything to me and answered all the questions I had about the property. My father, who has 30+ years in building/construction industry, was also thrilled by their service and knowledge. I will be referring them and using them for any future homes!
