I am extremely pleased with the service Housemasters provided, they were very thorough and diligent in their inspection and always replied to me in the utmost timely manner! I will use them again in the future and will definitely be recommending them to anyone!

Pete did a great job. He was extremely thorough and kept us informed as he found deficiencies. I have been through this process several times throughout the years and Pete was by far the inspector that we have used. My father-in-law, who was in the heat and air business, came out to help us inspect the house. He was impressed by Pete, which is not an easy task.

Very professional and thorough. Went over everything with me. Answered any questions that I had. Checked out any concerns I pointed out. Did not "nit-pick", but pointed out what I needed to know. Very friendly, kinda made it fun. They worked at a very steady pace without going too fast. They coordinated all of the inspectors to show up at the same time. An amazing experience!

The thorough attention to detail, and the willingness and ability of the inspector to communicate went far beyond any inspection I have had. This is a quality service, and for peace of mind it was worth every penny and much more. Inspector Kelly Liston is a pro in every sense of the word. Request him!

HouseMaster puts together the best information for a Home Owner! Your pictures that explain your findings are excellent. Gives me a tool to hand a contractor so they can focus on problems quicker. I can also go back to the pics and info to confirm completion of repairs/replacements. You're always FUN to work with as well. Thank you for al you do to help home owners. Thanks for all you do to help me be a most informed and educated REALTOR! :-)

I am the Realtor and the buyer for this purchase. I recently filled in for a fellow Realtor at an inspection with Housemasters. I was so impressed with the detail of the inspection and the knowledge of the inspector. He gave solid information but didn't talk the client out of buying the house. He was honest and gave resaonable sound advice. I was so impressed I had to have HouseMaster do my personal inspection and it went the same way. So happy ! Thank you

– Allen V.

The buyer of our home used Housemaster and I was so impressed with the report on the buyer's TRR submission, that we decided we wanted to use HouseMaster. Kelly was fantastic to work with and I feel we have a comprehensive understanding of the status of the house we are now buying. Kudos to a job well done.
