"Incredibly Thorough"

John was incredibly thorough, patiently answered all of my questions, and helpfully discussed his findings as the inspection progressed. His report is clear, easy to read, and has lots of photos to back up the report. I highly recommend him for all of your home inspection needs."

“Quick report turnaround”

Our listing went on the market and we needed
an inspection report for disclosures. Since we got
offers so quickly, we called Sequoia and Matt did a
fantastic inspection, and sent us the report the
next morning so we could share with buyers. 
These guys are great!"
