I highly recommend APA. The inspection was very thorough, efficient & professional. The inspector was personable, respectful & took the time to discuss all the home systems with me & showed me where all the cut-off valves & switches are. Home inspection is an essential part of home buying & I couldn't have asked for a better inspector.
