Report
Bruce provided a timely, thorough inspection of the condo we were considering purchasing. His written report was easy to understand and included photos of every area discussed in the report. He was responsive to follow-up questions and explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend Advantage Inspection Professionals and especially Bruce Carmichael.

Bruce was the inspector for our recently sold home and so we followed up with him for the new home we purchased because he was so thorough and professional in his work. He is a good guy and is a person that wants to make sure everything is covered and explained. It was a real pleasure working with him and I would recommend him highly. The entire process was so easy. They are an excellent company! Cory

Advantage Home Inspectors are truly professional. 6 stars ! If your looking to buy a home go with Bruce and advantage. AND BUYERS, DO NOT USE SELLERS OR YOUR AGENTS RECOMMENDED INSPECTOR. The inspector will not do his job and just turn a blind eye to major and most minor issues. They are instructed to so by the agent who hired they $$$$....enough said, Bruce inspected my whole house plus pool and all mechanicals. He was very professional and in the end took the time to review the inspection and give me repair recommendations. He is very knowledgeable regarding the construction and maintenance that

I've been a real estate agent in the valley for the last four years and have been able to see many different inspectors do inspections for homes. However, I have yet to see any inspectors that can top or even match the quality and skill that Bruce and Paul bring to their inspections. They are always incorporating the latest technologies and procedures into their inspections and I'm consistently impressed with their work. These guys are the ones you want to call to make sure the job is done right!
