SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY!

Premier Home Inspection was very professional and courteous. Report was very through and delivered on time as promised. Scheduling was super and Clay was very communicative and clear, didn’t mind answering any questions. Will definitely use his services again highly recommended.

Clay was very thorough and professional. He was able to help us stop from purchasing a house with numerous issues and couldn’t be happier for it.

Clay was great — I really appreciated his quick communication and willingness to work with us on a bit of a last minute inspection request. I’m geographically separated, but he was happy to hop onto my realtors phone and FaceTime me about major findings and answered all of my questions!

Clay is knowledgeable and thorough in his home inspection. He does a great job explaining his findings after the inspection to my buyers. Highly recommend him for your home inspection!!
