Our experience with Homespec was fantastic from start to finish. They were very quick to schedule and the set up and the communication process was clear. Upon arrival we met Kelly, Brad, and Jeff who were friendly and eager to get to work. They went through the home from top to bottom with a fine-tooth comb. I can't say enough good things about this team as they are top notch and pay attention to every detail. My wife and I are purchasing a house that is nearly 100 years old so naturally there was a lot to go over. We are so excited and confident now to move into our new home.

We were met by Jance, Kelly, and Brad. They were punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and addressed all concerns before undertaking the inspection. After the inspection, they proceeded line by line to ensure that everything was annotated and that we understood the report. We had an awesome experience and would highly recommend.
