Instantly Bill made my fiancé and I feel comfortable and prepared for the inspection ahead of us. He took the time to explain the process and answer any questions beforehand. Throughout the entire inspection he made sure we both understood what was happening and what things meant. This helped so that when the inspection report came there were no surprises and everything was in explicit detail. Couple days later, as promised Bill was there to answer more questions!

Our inspector Bill was nothing short of amazing. He thoroughly walked us through every step of the inspection, and took the time to make sure we understood everything along the way. As first time buyers new to the entire process, we appreciated Bill’s ease of explanation and review of findings prior to leaving. We received our full report within the same day, and are still assured if we have questions that Bill will be able to help us. Fantastic man!

We used Schaefer as first time home buyers, recommended by our landlord. Ron walked me through the whole inspection process, carefully explaining everything he looked at and tested, and giving great advice on what repairs we might need to do (he even showed me how to do many of them). He noticed a lot of small details and really took his time. He was also a very nice guy- very happy to recommend!

My wife and I couldn't be happier with Schaefer Inspection Service, Inc.! We are first-time home buyers and were looking for a reputable inspection service agency. Everything about Schaefer has greatly exceeded our expectations. We scheduled the service via their website, was contacted promptly from one of their friendly service agents, and scheduled our first home inspection with ease. More importantly, Bill Wilkes (our inspector) was absolutely exceptional. My time with him during the inspection this morning was informative, thorough, and extremely educational. He took the time to diligently and meticulously walk me through each and every part of the inspection and answered every single one of my questions honestly and professionally. Bill also delivered the inspection report promptly - they guarantee a completed report in 24 hours and we received our detailed report in less than 5! Furthermore, Bill offered to answer any questions/concerns that we have moving forward with the process.My wife and I want to express our profound gratitude to Bill as he has certainly represented Schaefer Inspection Service exceptionally.read more

Schaefer made the inspection process easy during this crazy pandemic. The scheduling was flexible and immediate and Bill was great about taking lots of pictures and explaining everything to me. The inspection report was sent over the same evening and was very thorough. I highly recommend Schaefer!

John conducted our home inspection yesterday and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He was willing to answer any questions that we had and offered suggestions for minor improvements that we can do ourselves that I don't think we would've thought of. Having John do the inspection has given us piece of mind and direction of what needs to be done. Thank you!

Ron was extremely meticulous and friendly. As a first time home buyer I was nervous going into the inspection, but confident leaving it. He was very respectful and answered any questions with great detail. I am very satisfied with the inspection and will recommend Schaefer to anyone in need of their services!

As a first time home buyer, Schaefer made this a very easy and informative experience. Our inspector, Ron Worsfold, was fantastic. He was professional, detailed, explained the process and his findings clearly. We got our report less than 24 hours after the inspection. They were easy to deal with on the phone and returned calls and email quickly. I would recommend Schaefer to anyone looking for home inspection services.

As a first time home buyer, this experience is nerve-wracking, but Schaefer made it easy! I was pleased that they were able to schedule my inspection so quick. I called on a Friday and was promptly made an appointment by Monday. When I arrived, Mark Barnes was already there inspecting the outside of the perimeter. I found it to be very courteous that he took the time to get there prior to my arrival to get himself set up and starting the job right away. When we went inside, Mark was able to introduce himself and walked me through what this process would be like. He encouraged questions and made me feel at ease by mentioning that no question would be a silly question. Throughout the inspection, Mark was helpful, friendly, thorough and professional. He explained what he was exactly inspecting, and the importance of it. I definitely learned a few things that I hadn't known prior! Overall, Schaefer and Mark made this experience an easy one. I was told that I would receive a report within 24 hours, and actually received one within only 8 hours; talk about a quick turnaround! If you're looking for a company with professionalism and thoroughness, Schaefer is the way to go.read more

Inspection went pretty well. Results were conveyed clearly by inspector. There is obviously chances that we yet to see new defects that were not visible. But the inspector reviewed all functionality and critical features of the house, very thoroughly. The report works as a useful checklist for critical things that should be done immediately, and also for things that are not critical, but that should be addressed over time. After the day of inspection, the inspector has remained very responsive and open to questions over email or phone.read more

Steve M. was extremely helpful and very professional during the inspection process. He made sure to explain everything that he found in a very clear and detailed manner as well as answer any question I had. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have a home inspection completed in the near future. Thank you Schaefer Inspection Service and Steve M.

Bob Diamond was very extra great. He was patient and informative. He didn't mind all my questions. He was early to our appointment and assured me that he would be happy to continue to answer my questions throughout the buying process and beyond, which is great because I do still have questions. He was thorough and objective. He told me what he really thought and looked out for my interests as though I were a family member. This company was very responsive and professional while being friendly and considerate of my concerns and needs. They were great from the first phone call. And they were open about the money. They didn't try to tell me I have to get this test and that test. They talked to me about what is necessary for me and what is not. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat. They are great.read more
