It was a very good experience
Kevin Blackwell performed my 3rd party inspection for my new build. Kevin was professional, explanatory and through. He provided me insight to help me work with my builder in getting work completed. I would recommend First Class Inspections.

First-Time Homebuyer
He treated us like family
My wife and I were terrified — this was the biggest purchase of our lives and we had no idea what to look for. Kevin walked us through every single room, pointed at things we'd never have noticed, and explained why they mattered. He never made us feel dumb for asking questions. We left feeling confident instead of scared. That meant everything.

Saved me from a very expensive mistake
I was in love with the house. Kevin's report brought me back to reality — in the best way. There was a hidden drainage issue that would've cost me $15K to fix. Because of his report I negotiated the seller down and got it repaired before closing. Honestly, his fee paid for itself ten times over.

Homebuyer
Real talk, no fluff
I've had inspectors before who handed me a clipboard full of legal disclaimers and called it a day. Kevin actually showed up, crawled under the house, got into the attic, and told me the truth — not just what I wanted to hear. His report had photos, clear explanations, and zero jargon. Exactly what I needed.

I finally felt like someone was in my corner
Buying a home alone is overwhelming. Kevin made me feel like I had an advocate, not just a hired inspector. He flagged things I would have missed, explained what was urgent vs. what could wait, and even followed up by phone after I got the report. That kind of care is rare.

Kevin's systematic approach, attention to structural and mechanical detail, and timely delivery of reports have made him an indispensable part of our due diligence process.
