Client Testimonials

"Why we choose Mark Evans... Understanding and thoroughness - talking with Mark on the phone for an hour on Saturday gave me comfort that Mark knew his stuff, he would treat this job with meticulous detail, and he had the experience and expertise to do the inspection properly and thoroughly, with no conflict of interest since he does not provide the repair itself. Promptness - given the circumstances, we needed someone who would respond quickly and have availability. Reasonable cost - Mark was not the cheapest cost-wise, but not the most expensive either.”

“... very thorough inspection; if only we had an inspector like you when we originally bought the place!”
Relocation Transferee
“Mark was so great to work with! We were newly in contract for a house that, upon initial inspection, had some potential stucco issues that we needed a second level inspection on. Mark made room in his schedule to fit us in during our limited inspection period and gave us an incredibly thorough and detailed report on a very quick turnaround. On the basis of that report, we were able to request a credit from the sellers. We are truly grateful for Mark’s help!.”
