Mr Pressley provided an incredibly thorough home inspection, responded to all of my questions and helped me to understand the liabilities of the property but also its potential. The fact that he is a licensed contractor also meant that he was able to provide reliable cost estimates on the repairs needed, which represented a significant additional benefit. In summary, his services provide an exceptional value for the money, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Pressley to family and friends.

Mr. Pressley was truly a godsend. He was not only the definition of professional, knowledgable, and thorough, he was generous enough to share with us extensive background, context, and encouragement to help us negotiate more firmly with the seller. His services have paid for themselves time and again with the $$$ we have saved and will continue to save over the course of our homeownership.

Stop reading and hire Paris Pressley. Paris is the master. My words cannot match my positive experience with him, but Ill say this: The man is a master at his craft (and one of the only Certified Master Inspectors in Georgia a certification you can get once you complete 1,000 home inspections). He is also a builder, and so he can give you the knowledge to cut through any pushback that a builder gives you on items he finds to be a serious concern. He is also the most professional and responsive person I have worked with throughout our home purchase process, and possibly throughout my professional

Paris Pressley is so knowledgable and thorough! I had a great experience using him as my home inspector! The day after getting my very detailed inspection report, I called him to get a better understanding on a few things and he happily answered all of those questions. He even helped me put together a fair list of repairs for negotiations. If you want to feel protected as you prepare to make a large investment, this service is highly recommended!
