What clients say
From 10 client testimonials
I would like you to know that I am very pleased with the quality of service Ingraffia Home Inspections has provided. I sincerely appreciate your responsiveness and the way you conduct business. You provided a professional and unbiased inspection that potential home owners rely on for making critical purchasing decisions. Not, to mention, at a reasonable cost. Furthermore, your Infrared Thermal Imaging camera was able to detect the water leak that was not visible and provided accurate detection of the water damage. I am pleased that you are so technologically advanced. Your calm, patient manner in explaining was a great help to me. Thermal imaging definitely provided additional peace of mind to me. I appreciate your flexibility in scheduling an inspection, courteous service, the timely completion and the excellent inspection report. I would definitely recommend you to my friends and colleagues. If you need any recommendations, please feel free to contact me.Thanks once again.
We had a home inspected by Ingraffia Home Inspections last year and we loved the way they walked us through the process of the home inspection itself.
