TESTIMONIALS

Ray Myers... professionalism, pleasant demeanor and sincere concern regarding the quality of workmanship rendered in the construction of my new home should be recognized. He was early for every inspection, prompt and meticulous. His attention to details was exceptional. His knowledge of the construction code put the builder on notice to correct any violations. I would recommend your company to any home builder because of Mr. Ray Myers.

Sincerely,

Judge R. Smith, Esquire

We recently had a trim-out inspection done by Ray Myers. We were very satisfied with the inspection he did for us. He was very professional and knowledgeable. We came away feeling so much better about our new home and more in control of what was happening. We are very happy to have found HomePro for our inspection and look forward to having the final inspection done in a few weeks.

Thank you again,

M. McCauley
