I have to highly recommend Arch inspections! Frank was friendly and helpful, spoke to me for about half an hour answering all my questions in great detail and clarity of advice. He took his time explaining the inspection process, I wasn’t rushed. Frank was genuine and I appreciated his helpfulness in my inspection inquiry.

The inspector should explain issues about the home. Not try to talk their client out of buying Then tell them there is a discount if they decide to buy another place.
Other than that they were very informative

I contacted Frank at Arch Inspections as I was in process of buying a business, the building was old, so I wanted a professional to inspect the property prior to me buying it. Arch Inspectors were very quick to respond to my request. Frank personally reached out to me to discuss the property, understand it and provide what his services cover. An estimate was sent by email. After my review, I made a slight adjustment, which was quickly amended, and my appointment was booked. Arch Inspections continued communicating with me via email. I met Frank at the property, right on time and he explained what he would be doing and how long the inspection would take. Frank was thorough, asked great questions and provided professional feedback. Frank and I recapped at the end and in a few days, I have a full report with photos and explanations of each area of the property. Arch followed up to ensure I was satisfied and if I had any further questions, to please reach out to them. I felt that Frank and Arch were extremely trustworthy and professional. They provided a great service, and I know 100% where I stand with my new business. Frank made me feel valued and appreciated as his customer. I highly recommend Arch Inspections and will continue using them for any of my future needs.
