Jayson - Milwaukee

"Erik has now completed 2 home inspections for me. I've had an incredibly positive experience with him and I would absolutely recommend him. I am an investor and so I often need to hire a home inspector. When I hired Erik for the last inspection he informed me about numerous items and recommended a foundation contractor to evaluate the basement. The basement repairs would have been in the range of $15-20k and I cancelled the deal because of the amount of work needed. Essentially, he saved me a lot of money. He also referred me to a contractor for the assistance with the basement and that person was equally professional and had the exact experience that I needed."
