As a licensed home builder, I can make structural evaluations that a home inspector alone is not allowed to do. Let me put my expertise in construction to work for YOU! For the majority of people, the largest single purchase they will make in life is buying a home. While home inspections are not mandatory, it is always a good idea to have a knowledgeable professional inspect any home you are interested in purchasing.
It's almost guaranteed that a home buyer will schedule an inspection when buying a home, but what about the seller? Pre-inspections are less common in real estate transactions, however, there are many benefits to having one done. Home inspections are inevitable in the real estate industry.

When looking for a home inspector, you don't want someone who just sat in a class to get their home inspector license. You want someone with actual experience in the construction industry, and that is exactly who I am. I started my construction career as a young boy. During the summers, I would help my uncle with residential plumbing, and my grandfather taught me how to lay hardwood floors.
A complete home inspection is performed in accordance with the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standard of Practice for Home Inspections and the Code of Ethics for the Home Inspection Profession. This inspection includes, but is not limited to, a visual inspection of structural components, exterior, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning, interiors, insulation and ventilation, fireplaces, and fuel-burning appliances.
My husband and I recently moved to Sumter, SC from out of state, and bought a home in Sumter. Our realtor recommended using Phil for our inspection, so we did. Phil did a great job on our home inspection-he was detailed with his findings, and clearly explained any issues identified. Once we moved in to our Sumter home, I noticed moisture on a wall in my home and wasn't sure where it was coming from.

NO! NO! NO! If there were zero stars or negative stars... Pictures do not lie. Phil Matthews seemed knowledgeable at first but then he missed these really big issues in the crawlspace of the house I purchased. I did everything right- hired a realtor, and the realtor referred him. Not being from the area, I trusted her. This man inspected my house prior to close and did not capture any of these pictures you see. Phil took a couple pictures of the crawlspace; one showed an uninsulated floor and an open electrical junction box. In the report he stated" inspected" and " plastic on the ground". What

Zero problems with communication, never missed my call, and if they did, it was an answer within the hour at least explaining why they couldn't and when they would call back. Very thorough and VERY affordable. Just what I needed to feel assured that my new home would be properly built and configured. As someone who knows nothing about the business, he made me feel at ease knowing what could've gone wrong, didn't and I will be able to enjoy my home for years to come.
As someone who actively seeks great organization and phenomenal customer service in businesses, this company did not fall short.
