Marc worked with me to coordinate the inspection with my builder. During the inspection, he showed excellent attention to detail and explained his findings to me so I could understand. The report was timely and thorough. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him for a pre-drywall Inspection.

Edmond did our pre-closing inspection on a new condo in Williamsburg and was excellent. He took his time and was super thorough, and caught extremely detailed issues most inspectors would walk right past, like the builder using drywall screws instead of proper carpenter screws. He showed up right on time even though…

Mike Harmon did such a great job with my clients' inspection! Super detailed and thorough and explained everything along the way. Even hopped on the phone with my clients, who live out of town, at the end of the inspection so he could give them the run down. I look forward to using Cardinal in the future!

Exceptional! I’ve used Cardinal Home Inspections for more than five years, across multiple new-home purchases as well as one-year warranty inspections, and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Mike Harmon is incredibly thorough and professional, but what I appreciate most is that he takes the time to explain his findings,…

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
