“Home Inspections by Bob Geddes. Bob and his son Patrick are very thorough and professional. Highly recommend”
This was for an unconventional house and Patrick went above and beyond to ensure that all aspects of the house were scrutinized thoroughly.
Bob was very pleasant and informative about the septic process which was new to us. Not only did he educate us, he made us comfortable with our acquisition.
Patrick did a phenomenal job coordinating a team to come and inspect our home. He was patient and thoughtful and answered every question sometimes even twice. He also left the communications open to ask questions, questions, or see referrals, even after the inspection was complete. I highly recommend him and his team for anyone in the market!
Patrick was amazing throughout the whole process for us as first-time home buyers. We really appreciated his insight and his knowledge. Highly recommend.
