Rafael was wonderful. This has been by far the most extensive and well-documented home inspection report I have ever received and I have purchased a few homes over the years. I am thoroughly impressed. As someone purchasing for the final time, as this is to be my retirement home, it was important to select the right location and then find the perfect home. I needed the home to have good bones and be structurally sound. The comprehensive inspection and detailed reporting was exactly what was needed. Great work. I will use this team for the reinspection. The pricing was slightly higher but I would pay that price again for the thoroughness and the reporting efforts.

We had a great experience with Open Window Home Inspection and would highly recommend Brian! He was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions. We weren’t able to be present for the inspection, but Brian called afterward to walk us through everything in detail. When we had an additional question a week later, he was just as responsive and helpful in making sure we understood the report and felt comfortable moving forward. We really appreciated his attention to detail and communication throughout the process. Highly recommend Brian and Open Window Home Inspection!
