Testimonial from one of Barry’s clients –
As a first time home buyer and solo parent, the inspection of my 1915 house was extremely important in the home buying process. Berry arrived early to look over the exterior, and was fastidious in his inspection, verbal explanations, photographing and written report. He answered my questions thoroughly and respectfully and helped me to learn a great deal about my new home and it’s care in the course of an afternoon. He called to thoroughly explain his report shortly after sending it, and made me feel very confident in his expertise. I am very happy to have hired through Covered Bridge Inspections and would recommend this company, and Berry, to a friend without hesitation.

Hello,
My name is Paul C. I am a building contractor in the Barton area. I recommended you to do a home inspection for Mark C. I was very impressed with how thorough and professional your inspection was. Mark was also very pleased. Having a third party evaluate the problems of a home gives the owner confidence that a contractor is not trying to sell something they don't need or trying to point out problems that do not exist. I will be more than happy to continue recommending you to my customers.
Thank you,
Paul C.

Thanks to your expert inspection, I was able get all safety problems fixed by The seller before the closing.
Already made major repairs To the entry steps !!! There's now a small Porch , a metal roof , good lighting & handrails !
AND I took out that dreadful ancient propane Heater hanging on the wall & installed a New efficient Rinnai heater (floor model). ,
Moved it to a better location & moved the outside Propane tank as well !
Thanks again for the excellent report & photos. The seller almost didn't want to believe the Problems until he was given a copy of your
Report !!
Very truly yours, Pam H.

Just actually sat down to review everything tonight. I was very happy and impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection. I printed it out, and am going to review it in total this weekend. I do plan to go ahead with the purchase of this property, and plan to keep the inspection information as a guideline as to what I need to do in the future, i.e. picking away at it as I can afford to and getting those things that need immediate attention taken care of ASAP. I will definitely be in touch as I have questions as I go along. This is not a new home, and I expected some things to need attention, it's good to know where to start. To me, with my background in selling vehicles, it is like a used vehicle purchase, it's not going to be perfect. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't purchasing something that was really going to be a major problem within a few months. Thank you so much for all your help, and the quick response.

Thank you for the follow up. I just can't say enough positive things about my experience with your outfit. Every aspect of the process was professional and kind. AJ Houlne was the inspector who was unfalteringly helpful, patient, and informative. He even included links to manuals for some of the home equipment. I now have this report that is my "to do" list for my new home, complete with pictures.

Last week "Chicky" helped us with a home inspection of a 100+ year-old house. It's been twenty years since we've had a home inspection, and this was much more thorough and professional than we expected. Starting in the kitchen, he goes through every appliance, outlet, nook and cranny. He took tons of photos including detailed rooftop photos, and he crawled further under decks and into the attic than I would have expected. I shadowed him for 3+ hours, and it was enjoyable hearing his thoughts, ideas and questions as we went through the house. A day or two after the inspection, we then received an incredibly detailed report that includes photos, recommendations and items that he researched after the inspection such as the age of the two boilers. This report will be a playbook over the next year or longer as we fix and maintain a few things and if we consider remodeling. Thanks, Chicky!
