Let me first just say that Chris Ferguson is exceptionally knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. I was delighted with Chris’s eagle eye. He took the time to look in every corner and crack, even to the very far sides of the crawlspace. He is extremely detailed in his examination and assessment of structural integrity, construction features, and essential operating functions. The inspection report is easy to understand and quite helpful in identifying issues in need of more immediate attention and remediation. Pictures tell a thousand words. The images that Chris presented with the inspection report said a different story from what was listed online about the home. His professionalism and expertise provided me with more than enough information I needed to feel more confident about my purchase decision while offering insights that allowed me to become better acquainted and more contented with the home buying process. I would highly recommend Chris Ferguson and Company to everyone. read less

He's knowledgeable of codes, enforcement, and standards. He is honest and fair when it presenting issues to homeowners. A home inspection is something you definitely don't want to skimp on. If issues aren't identified prior to purchase, it may be you, the new homeowner that is out of pocket. read less

From the start, he was easy to schedule, on-time for our appointment, and kept me posted throughout the inspection. At the end, he presented me with the concerns that stood out, and pointed out several things on site. I was told to expect the report by Friday evening and received it Friday morning prior to 8am. Being a contractor, I know a quality company when I see one, and Chris has it going on. I highly recommend Chris/Ferguson and Company for any home inspections in areas he serves. read less

When we arrived at the property (flew in from out of town) we fell in love with it. Walking around with him he pointed out good things and bad. Some of the things were somewhat costly to repair and others were plumber or electrician items. While the sellers just put a new roof on a month ago (he knew it was new, but we didn't initially tell him how new) he saw that it wasn't put on correctly and it would be a problem in a short time. I actually felt bad for the out of town sellers because they majorly got ripped off. I was happy to see a new electrical panel not knowing (but , Chris did) that it was a panel manufactured by a company that went out of business partly due to the number of fires caused by this unit. It would need to be replaced. What he pointed out was very important. If we were handier, some of the things we could have fixed on our own, like securing one of the toilets to the floor as well as mounting the vanity to the wall, but we're just not that handy. I could tell he was in no way trying to steer us away from making this purchase but was giving us the facts so we could make an informed decision. I am so happy we called him before signing a contract. Thank you, Chris! read less
