Building a house out of state is a very nerve wracking process but knowing Charleston Home Inspector were there to make sure the quality was up to expectations definitely helps calm nerves. DV’s report details were direct to the point and awesome.
Jenelle Acosta
Satisfied Client
I was blown away by the level of detail the report I was sent contains. It was simple to read, easy to understand, but very comprehensive. My inspector (Jared) did a fantastic job of communicating with me before and after the inspection. I highly recommend this company for home inspections.
Rusty Matthews
Satisfied Client
We had David come out to do the inspection and he was super knowledgeable and extremely thorough. He pointed us in the right direction when it came to issues and we scheduled a few more in depth inspections based on his findings. It is eventually saving us from paying more for our dream home due to the things he found. Great service, great people, great everything.
