DJ was very thorough with three home inspection of our new purchase! He explained everything well, provided advise on the items noted and potential future touch points that we may not have thought to look at. Then you have Bert, who was the inspector for the buyers of our other residence, and he was also very professional and respectful while performing his inspections for his clients. In fact, Bert's professionalism is the reason we called Reliance in the first place to perform our inspection. My wife has just had surgery a few days prior to Bert's arrival and we were home at the time of his inspection. He was very mindful and courteously of the situation and worked around thee needs of my wife at the time. We highly recommend either of these two gentlemen and their employer for any of your home inspection needs!

The inspector was very thorough in his inspection, giving us the heads-up that we needed in home repairs. He saved me thousands of dollars when he showed us so many large repairs that the house will need to be done very soon.
