Family First Home Inspection does home inspections for buyers. A 2023 customer wrote that Dave explained what he was going to do, how and why during the inspection, and said he saved the customer from buying something that would have been a money pit. Another 2023 customer said Dave took pictures and explained the issues he saw and how to go about fixing them, and that his inspection price was better than any other quote that customer had gotten. A 2023 customer wrote that Dave inspected two homes for them: on the first, he expressed his concerns and they were able to terminate the contract. That 2023 customer said that on the second home he accommodated a very short inspection contingency window and supplied his report within 24 hours, with notes and photos viewable in an online portal. A 2023 first-time home buyer wrote that Dave gave references for any repairs that may have been needed. A Realtor wrote in 2022 that when the Realtor and the buyer arrived at the scheduled time, Dave was already on the roof of the two-story home, where he also inspected the fireplace and the gutters. In that 2022 review, the Realtor said he gave the buyer a rough idea of what repairs or improvements would cost and that his written report had details and photos. A 2022 first-time home buyer said issues were explained in a plain manner instead of technical talk and that multiple payment methods were accepted.

Dave is excellent. Highly recommended. Take the time off work to walk with him through the home inspection - his approach is methodical, thorough. He is an educator! He explains what he is going to do, how and why and the outcome. When issues arise he explains exactly how he will write it up in the report. You will be amazed at what he sees versus what you think you saw after your showing! Dave SAVED me from buying something that would have been a money pit. He is meticulous, HONEST and FAIR. Thank you Dave!
Dave Deciantis is the most knowledgeable and awsome home inspector you could ask for was super thorough and helpful with the home inspection and easy to talk to and willing to explain every question you had about his inspection he took pics and explained everything in detail that he seen issues with and how to go about fixing them would definitely recommend him to family and friends that are goin to need to get their home inspected great experience and an even better guy thanks Dave! Oo one more thing the pricing for inspection was far better then any other quote I’ve gotten as well!
EXCELLENCE! If you’re looking for a professional that treats your inspection as if he is doing it for his own family, Dave is the guy. My wife and I have had 2 great experiences with Dave inspecting homes for us. He is extremely knowledgeable; knowing exactly what to look for during each inspection. Everything gets documented with notes and photos which can be viewed in a user friendly online portal and downloaded/printed. He is 100% there to make sure the home you are buying is safe. The first home he inspected for us unfortunately had issues that couldn’t be looked past. He decisively expressed his concerns to us and we were able to terminate contract. Needless to say, but he saved us from a nightmare. After gaining our utmost trust we undoubtedly chose him to inspect the second home. He was able to accommodate a very short inspection contingency window and supplied his report within 24 hours. Thanks for everything Dave!
Dave did an amazing job, and I am glad I had an opportunity to work with him. He was honest, knowledgeable, and informative which made me feel much more comfortable as a first time home buyer. He was thorough, and really focused on the overall safety of the home. Not only did he make sure I fully understood all of his findings, including any discrepancies, but he also gave me references for any repairs that may have been needed.
Dave when very professional and insightful. He was willing to explain any questions I had in further detail and was very patient with me. He was extremely knowledgeable and I could tell he took his inspections seriously. As a first time home buyer you don't really know what you are looking for or what to ask about. Dave knew that and ensured to cover every detail about the home. I was very comfortable with his results. Absolutely would recommend!!!
