Chris is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the inspection space. He has a very friendly and non-judgemental demeanour towards his clients. Chris takes the time needed to ensure all questions are addressed, and provides valuable insights for preventative maintenance and recommendations inside his inspection reports. I feel every dollar that was paid for our peace of mind with Chris’ inspection was well worth it; highly recommend for your next inspection!

Chris went above and beyond for us! His passion for ensuring a home is safe is evident. He was as thorough as his access allowed, and pointed out all the things that were non-issues but could be potentially a problem in time, small issues and then the major ones. Most things we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. We recommend his services and if we buy/sell again we will be using him/his company.

From the minute you start working with Chris, everything just gets smoother and easier! When I called he offered me 3 available appointments within the week, and he followed up with an email quickly. He is very organized, and answered all of my questions with ease. The inspection was done and afterwards I was invited to meet him at the property and review his findings- fantastic! He had a detailed report to me the next business day, that will serve me well on fix it projects for the next year. He is very knowledgeable and responds quickly. I would recommend him to anyone needing his services.

Chris Snyder was adept at his job. Once I let him know I was a new home buyer. He was patient and did an excellent walk through with me and pointed and educated me on. So many functions of the many components that make a home.Not only that, but he let me know that I could reach him anytime during my own home ownership if I had any questions he could answer.Engaging friendly guy.

Derrick has done several inspections for us. He is very professional, explains his findings very well to the home buyers. He takes his time and is very thorough. The last inspection, he couldn't get into the attic hatch so had to make a second trip to the property after the home owner came home, almost an hour drive away. Thats great customer service in our opinion.Walz Real Estate Group highly recommends Derrick for your home inspection requirements.

During the inspection he paid close attention to detail, ensuring that our soon to be home was safe and sound. His report was thorough and easy to understand while effectively identifying potential issues.Overall, Derrick was extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.
