As a Realtor I am delighted to recommend Rick as a home inspector to any of my clients including my son! Totally professional and detailed.
PW- Columbus Ohio
-----------------------
During our inspection Rick taught us many valuable lessons about general upkeep and home maintenance. His reports were easy to read and we were easily able to show the seller documentation of issues needing to be resolved prior to our purchase in central Ohio. We recommend Rick as a home inspector to anyone buying their first home!
AP - Dublin Ohio
-----------------------
As a first time home buyer moving into Central Ohio, I was very unsure of what a home inspections would entail, Rick went above and beyond, providing a detailed binder full of color pictures and thorough narrative. I fell comfortable recommending him for home inspections to anyone!
KA - Columbus Ohio
-----------------------
Rick did a very thorough home inspection on an investment property. His detailed report with photos made it very easy to refer to with the seller for repairs. I highly recommend Patch Independent Home Inspections to anyone considering any type of property.
RF - Columbus and Central Ohio
-----------------------
We contacted Rick to investigate cold air and high energy costs in our condo. He scanned the condo with a thermal image infrared camera and found issues in the walls. After further investigation he found multiple issues and provided valuable information about furnace and duct operation and the probably reason for air infiltration into the walls. The insulation was thin in the attic and no insulation on the access panel.
AR - Columbus Ohio (Galloway)
-----------------------
Rick provide home inspections on 2 properties for me in Columbus. He is very thorough with his inspections and the detailed pictures made it easy to request the repairs. He gladly returned to reinspect the repairs at no additional charge. Great service!
