Whether you're purchasing a new home, preparing your existing home for sale, or seeking a better understanding of your existing home, Sure Sight Home Inspection has you covered.

A Sure Sight Home Inspection pre-drywall inspection is an important part of the home building process.

I had Matt with Sure sight Home Inspection, Inc. perform a 1 yr home inspection with infrared imaging on Monday, April 29th. Matt arrived promptly at our agreed time. I could tell Matt was professional when he arrived with two pairs of shoes, one for inside and one for outside. Before he started, he gave me a brief run-through of what he will be doing. He proceeded to spend the next 5 plus hours inspecting my home. He was thorough and quite detail oriented which I liked very much. Upon the completion of the inspection, he spent over an hour going through the detail of what he found. His explanation

I found Sure Sight (Matt) on Yelp and ended up hiring him to do my home inspection. I made my decision based on my comparison of quotes and sample reports. Also, this was one of the few inspection services I found that offers infrared imaging.
I like people like Matt who take pride in their work. He was pleasant and professional to work with. From talking with him, I got the impression that he has the right combination of technical skills and an investigative/problem solving mindset which goes a long way in this type of work.
He spent a generous amount of time at the house (6.5 hours) and met

I would recommend Sure Sight Home Inspection to anyone needing a thorough home inspection. I hired Matt to inspect my new construction home before the one-year warranty expired. I knew pretty quickly that I should have hired him for the pre-construction inspection. The guy I hired for that spent about an hour, total. I had a roof leak right after I moved in, which wasn't caught in the pre-construction inspections. There's no comparison. Matt was all business - punctual, knowledgeable & thorough. He spent hours & caught so many important fixes needed. The cost of the inspection

Matt showed up on time and performed a 1-year inspection on my new home. He was able to find various issues that the builder was responsible to fix and this saves me money in the long run. His price was inline with other builders that I looked at, and I feel that I got my money's worth given that he took his time and thoroughly inspected my property.
Matt was very personable and was able to give me some advice on dealing with the builder to resolve the issues that he found.

We did extensive shopping around before selecting Matt, and we're so happy with our choice. Matt is as good as it gets. He as all the traits we hope for in an inspector: competitively priced, responsive to e-mails, EXTREMELY thorough, and quick about getting the reports back out.
Matt caught NUMEROUS legitimate concerns that were missed by the seller's inspectors just 9 months before. We would absolutely rely on Matt again for future needs.
The home buying process is stressful, and rightfully so. Thank you so much, Matt, for making the inspection one of the easy parts.

This review is for an inspection that Matt completed on my late-80s-era home in Cary, which was purchased in June 2013. He did an excellent, thorough, professional job and clearly has in-depth knowledge about how housing should be constructed and the various building codes. Very impressed with his level of detail, and he was also helpful when I had questions too.

Matt was very thorough in his inspection and in his summary of the report. He was very professional, had a great attitude, and answered all of my questions--and I had a lot--without making me feel uncomfortable or rushed. I would definitely work with him and SureSight in the future for home inspections.

This review is for the one-year completion home inspection done by Matt on 08/31. He was right on time. We appreciate that he was thoughtful enough to bring different shoes to wear inside the home. He was very thorough and professional. He listened to the concerns we had and made sure to check out everything we discussed. After the inspection was done, he patiently explained what he found and how it can be fixed. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Matt!
I highly recommended his home inspection services.

Matt was very professional and very thorough in our inspection. He caught a few items that were missed by another inspector during our pre-move inspection. He also mentioned valuable pointers for some of the items he found and how the builder might respond. Overall, I was very impressed with his work and would highly recommend him.

This review is a little late considering we used Sure Sight in 2012. Matt was simply awesome to deal with: thorough, professional, detailed, informative and honest. He made my home buying experience a comfortable process. I wouldn't recommend any other company to handle a home inspection in the Raleigh area.

Matt, from Sure Sight Home Inspection, was awesome. He came recommended through my realtor and he was the only one who could meet my schedule. So, it was pretty lucky that we worked together.
But, Matt was fantastic. He spent 8 hours going through a 75 year old house methodically and thoroughly. He checked every crevice and found lots of stuff that I'm fairly certain most inspectors wouldn't have found. He explained the issues to me patiently and was friendly and professional. He didn't charge extra for the extra hours he had to spend. Great job.
