What Our Clients Say
★★★★★ 5.0 on Google from 550+ reviews
“My wife and I used this home inspection service when considering a purchase of a 100+ year old house. Cheaper services were suggested to us by other people, but we wanted one that we felt we could trust. I’m glad we made that choice. Rosie Home Inspections found multiple items that were not disclosed, and saved us from possibly throwing tens of thousands of dollars down the drain (and into a crumbling foundation).”
“Kari is top notch. Super thorough, professional, and detailed. This is my second time using her for a home inspection, and she’s proven twice now that she’s the real deal. She doesn’t rush, she explains what she’s finding as she goes, and she flags things that matter without creating unnecessary panic over minor stuff.”
“Kari was thorough, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable. This was my first home inspection for my first house, and I am SO glad I went with Rosie Home Inspections. … I was very impressed with her work and how much she cared to make sure I understood everything. Honestly, top notch!”
“Very detailed yet easily understood report. Moreover, each comment has a photo to specify & clearly show the point. What is great as well is the quick summary link if you are in a hurry with option to go back to read more. They’re great & I recommend them to all home buyers.”
“Kari did an EXCELLENT JOB - extremely thorough and informative. I’ve dealt with several Home Inspectors over the years, including a cousin, and she far exceeded the depth and knowledge of all of them.”
“Kari did an outstanding job inspecting the home we plan to purchase. Her attention to detail and communication were amazing. Her website is very easy to use to book an inspection. She found many items that need repair, enabling us to bring them to the attention of the new home builder before it was too late.”
“Top-notch inspections and service! Kari is excellent with customer care, and her attention to detail is equally impressive! Great at explaining any deficiencies to the client and answering all questions. Highly recommend Rosie’s for a thorough and detailed home inspection!”
“She was so thorough, communicated well, has very competitive pricing, and took photos of everything as she went to put in the report along with the narrative. … Highly recommend! Also, being able to support women in a male-dominated occupation is a giant bonus for me!”
“Kari is very thorough … She pointed out everything and the additional tests for mold & radon all in one place was super convenient.”
“Professional and very thorough, Kari with Rosie Inspections provided a great roadmap for what I can do post-sale to keep my new home running well. She pointed out a number of issues I would have completely neglected to ask the seller about, and was very diplomatic when we had to have a separate conversation with the original builder about some details of the new construction.”
“I have used Rosie Home Inspection 3 different times, each time more impressed with the quality and detail of the work. Kari is not only thorough but takes the time to explain in complete detail her findings. … After having her inspect three different homes, I know she is the best.”
“Absolutely fantastic. Saved us from walking into a HUGE money pit. Very detailed, took lots of pictures to back up all of her findings, even listed things from high priority to lowest priority.”
“They provide multiple inspection types from one provider, which helps expedite the inspection process. The report they generated was very easy to understand with lots of good pictures. They were also able to recommend different contractors for the different types of issues discovered in the house.”
“Her website is easy to navigate (showing pricing and allowing for booking an appointment online). She responds quickly to your request and is friendly and professional. She did a very thorough job with the home inspection and talked to me and my agent about the results.”
“I can’t say enough good about Rosie Home Inspections! Scheduling was easy and the report was perfectly clear and comprehensive. Kari walked us through her findings in detail and was available for any questions that we had as we went through our home buying process. A great experience from beginning to end!”
