Rick Shavrnoch

I am a mortgage broker and investor.  I have dealt with inspectors in the past and can honestly say that Steve at First Choice did a fantastic job on the inspection for my home.  He found several things the sellers were trying to hide and it helped with the comfort of my purchasing decision.

 

From Elizabeth and Kevin Herman

Just wanted to send you a short note to let you know that we've moved into our new home and

are quite pleased.  With your report in hand, we were able to resolve some issues with the seller

to everyone's satisfaction.  The photos you included in the report proved especially helpful. 

Please know that if we relocate in the future, you will be our inspector of choice.

Best Regards,

Elizabeth and Kevin Herman

 

 

From Theresa Courage

Being a real estate investor and a realtor, I have used several home

inspectors. Your report was the most thorough and professional

I've seen. The digital report made it easy to share with the other

parties and I especially liked the digital pictures you took of the areas

with issues. You will be my preferred inspector from now on.

Thanks again.

 

Mary Gorniak

Steve,

Thank you very much for the inspection you performed on our new house.  We found you to be very thorough and informative in your work.  Your attention to detail, conscientious approach, and prompt service were all outstanding qualities you possess that proved invaluable in the inspection process.  The computerized report and digital photos made reviewing the inspection

easy and stress free.  We will highly recommend you to anyone we hear in need of a home inspection.

From: Christopher Allegra

"I would recommend Jesse with First Choice Home & Building Inspection Services, because I was able to count on his knowledge and expertise when I purchased my first home. He explained to me his findings in his easy to understand report and competently answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Jesse with First Choice Home & Building Inspection Services, to anyone who is considering    purchasing a home!"

 

 

From: Lori Levinstone

"Being a first time homeowner, I didn't know exactly what I needed to look for.

Steve gave me great advice on what to look for when purchasing my home. He        

really took his time throughout the home, making sure everything was working        

properly. Steve definitely helped put my mind at ease!"

 

 

From: Myra Quinn

"Being from out of town, it was important for me to know that the home I was

buying was structurally sound and that the electric, plumbing, roof, appliances and

general interior and exterior of the home were in good condition. After receiving

the report, I felt confident in my home purchase and was fully aware of the

condition of the home and possible repairs that may be required in the future. I

also appreciate how quickly the home was inspected on such short notice. I highly

recommend First Choice Home Inspections to anyone looking to purchase a home.

They will not be disappointed with the thorough and efficient service. It was a

pleasure doing business with First Choice Home Inspection Services."
