  • The Most Important Opinion is Yours!

    "Thanks for the great service. Being from Massachusetts, with a with no time on my schedule I knew I would need another set of "critical eyes" to check out the property. Your professionalism exceeded my expectations. I am also purchasing another property. I'll call to set it up. 

    Sam G. from Boston Mass.

    Mr. Boss

    Thank you so much. The information I got while following you around was invaluable. I learned a lot. The inspection was worth every penny and a lot more than the cost of the inspection. I will recommend you to everyone that I know who is buying a house.

    Mark and Connie K. from Conklin Mi.

    Dave was without a doubt a very knowledgeable professional. He saved me several thousand dollars. We will never use another inspector again!"

    John from Saugatuck, Michigan

    "Dear Mr. Boss, I want to thank you for your well prepared inspection report. We appreciate it and are impressed with the information on your report and presentation."

    Mandy from Fennville

    Dave, After calling the inspector that the realtor suggested and being treated badly, I’m glad I found your website and called you. The knowledge and thoroughness of your inspection saved me 10 times the price of your inspection fee. Without knowing there was a leak behind family room wall it would have cost me a ton of money to fix it myself. Along with the electrical issues and the leak, the seller had these problems fixed before we closed. Thank you and I will give you a good recommendation to any one that asks. 

    Bill R. from Wyoming, Mi.

    Dave, I Will be using you again and again!"

    Max from Holland

    Dave, The experience of having the home I purchased inspected was very good. This is the first house I have ever owned and I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but you eased my mind right away with your down to earth explanations. When I started to flip out with some of the problems of the house I’m glad you calmly explained the problem and how it could be fixed. When I sat down with my agent it turned out that they would fix the most of the problems before I moved in and they lowered the asking price. I am very pleased I had you inspect the house, it was worth way more than the cost of the inspection to me. I would feel very good about recommending you to anyone. 

    Lora from S. Norton Shores, Mi.

    "We were very comfortable and pleased with Homeguide Home Inspections. Very friendly, informative and took the time to answer Every one of our questions. Also Dave was very thorough. We will definitely recommend him to our friends, and have already done so. Thanks Again Dave, Will be in touch."

    Justin From Ferrysburg

    Dave,

    I was very impressed by the thoroughness and quality of your inspection and your report. Also I want to thank you for the professional way you did your job, from talking with you on the phone to book the inspection to the questions I had during the inspection and the follow up we had after I received the report.

    You were not the first home inspector I had look at the home. My agent suggested another home inspector to me. I was anxious from the first time I talked to him on the telephone and when I met him at the home he changed his pricing and said he would have to charge more. I told him to forget it. When I found your internet website and called you I could tell right away I was going to have a better experience. You were cheaper than he was and you stuck to the price you said. Plus you found some exterior issues that the other guy didn’t even find. So I’m sure you found things the other inspector would have missed. Thank you. I will call you first the next time I need to have an inspection.

    Ben C. from Wyoming, Mi.

    "I think you did a fabulous job....I've been in this business 10 years and have used multiple inspectors. I was very pleased with your service, presentation and interaction with my clients. I look forward to us doing more business together."

    Nora, Grand Haven Realtor

    Dear Mr. Boss,

    Being a single mother, and buying this house I was very apprehensive throughout the whole procedure. I didn’t have a lot of money and I wasn’t sure I should get my new house inspected. But my best friend Callie and her husband had just had there home inspected by you and were very impressed and said they got the price reduced so they could fix some of the problems you had found. Going through the home with you while you were checking everything and your explanations of the things you found was easily the best part of the whole buying procedure. Just so you know, the seller fixed almost everything you found wrong. I’m so glad I had you inspect my new house. I would have never known there was anything wrong because the realtor said the house had just been remodeled and everything was as good as new. Thank you so much.

    Sally P. from Spring Lake, Mi.

    "Thank you again for your thorough reporting; you caught items I certainly would not have noticed. I thought you did a great job and enjoyed talking with you about the house during and after the inspection."

    Ken, from Zeeland, Michigan

    Dave,

    Thanks again for doing the inspection on the home in Wayland. After meeting with the seller he was unwilling to negotiate over the things that you found that were wrong. As promised I called you back a few weeks later to do the inspection on the home 3 blocks from the first home you inspected. I thought I learned a lot from following you around on the first inspection, but I learned a lot more on the second home. We negotiated a lower price for the house on the information in your report. Thank You. I will give you a good recommendation to anyone that asks. Continued success.

    Ken and Bonnie H. from Wayland, Mi.


    "A consummate professional, great attitude. His years of experience are obvious and he is the reason why others need not look any further. His word stands for itself."

    Dan from South Haven, Michigan

    Dave,

    Moving from South Carolina to Holland was very stressful but your inspection of the historical home in Holland was one of the best things I had done. I would have never known some of the things you found until it was too late. You saved me a lot of aggravation and money and I was grateful that you came back after the inspection to meet with the structural engineer you recommended for evaluating the settling at the rear of the house. I would have been lost as to what to do without your involvement. I am deeply indebted to you and will not hesitate to refer you or to hire you again. 

    Sara P. from Holland, Mi.

    Mr. Boss, "Wow! - Thank you for the wonderful report! Of course not all the news was good, but all of the information and education you have provided was very valuable. We appreciated all of the time you spent with us. It was worth every penny and much more detailed than the seller's report. The pictures were a huge help. With all of your help and suggestions we know exactly what we are getting into. Thank you, thank you, thank you

    Dawn from Grand Rapids, Michigan

    Dear Dave,

    I want to thank you for inspecting my home and doing such a thorough job on such short notice. I didn’t think I would be able to get an inspection after 5:00 pm on a Friday evening much less on a one-day notice. I am very grateful because I needed to close on Tuesday. I took your report to my agent Saturday morning. Using your list of electrical problems and the pictures in your report of the water leak in the basement laundry, missing fixtures and the non existent stove exhaust vent, he called the seller and the seller had all the problems fixed before we closed. Being just graduated from college and going through this all alone I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked out so well without your help. If you need a referral from me just ask. Thanks. 

    Jamie D.H. from Zeeland, Mi.

    "I'm usually extremely cautious when dealing with such a large purchase but was quickly put to ease with the professionalism and caring that Mr. Boss obviously puts into his work. I was very satisfied with how he handled himself and the situation concerning some issues he found with my new home. And I have recommended his services to many others and I will continue to do so. Thanks again, Dave!"

    Laura from Saugatuck, Michigan

    Mr. Boss,

    Thank you for inspecting my home last week. My son has been coughing a lot lately and I’ve been noticing mold growing on the family room walls in the basement. We thought there was a problem but we didn’t know where to start. After your inspection we were surprised at all the different places water was getting in and how it was getting in. We are going to follow your recommendations and fix all the areas you told us about and then have the mold removed. Thank you very much. My children play down there all the time but we are going to keep them away from there until it is all done. I don’t know what we would have done without your help. We were ready to sell the house. I’m glad the house can be saved because we love the house and the location.  Aimee L. from Kalamazoo, Mi.

    Dave, I shared your report with my agent as promised. She was totally impressed. She asked what your regular prices were, and when I told her she was depressed. It seems that she had just scheduled an inspector from "her list" that was going to charge a lot more for a lot less. Needles to say, she wants to schedule you for a presentation for her office.

    Thanks again Dave, I will definitely be calling you on our next purchase."

    Matt from Seattle, Washington
