Our home inspection with Lawrence was to sell our home and spot any deficiencies before selling. He came in on a timely manner, did a thorough inspection of our entire home and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He provided us with the inspection report within two days of having the inspection completed so we could get to work on any fixes prior to listing. Definitely recommend his services!

We recruited Lawrence from "A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections" to conduct the inspection of a new property we intended to purchase. Lawrence has a lot of experience and knowledge. He is extremely vigilant, organized, and responsive. He was available for any questions we had throughout the process and patiently responded to all our inquiries. In addition to providing us with a very useful report that color-coded different issues based on their priority, which is extremely helpful, he also walked me through the property and showed me any potential defects. All in all, I highly recommend Lawrence.

Lawrence is very good at what he does! I purchased a newly built home thinking all was good but I am very grateful to have had him there to inspect. He found several issues I would have never and that possible the city wouldn't have either. He took me around the house to run through all if his findings before sending over the report. Very professional and very kind!
