Kasey Shabow
Great service! Very friendly, professional and thorough. I would highly recommend Blue Crab Inspections!
Doug Tracey
Our Inspector Luke and the Termite inspector from Black Tie were both very thorough and explained everything in detail to us as the inspection was happening and then also thoroughly in the report. I felt confident that we knew all we needed to know about the house. The house is an 1880 4400sf victorian with a lot to it. It was a big job to inspect, requiring a lot of attention, experience and expertise, and very important to get it right. Blue Crab and Black Tie were perfect for the job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and use them again.

Came out the next day to do a full house inspection that my fiancé and I wanted to have to have proof to show our contractor of their mistakes and incompetence after they rebuilt our house from a fire. On time, respectful and kept us in the loop of what they were doing and showed us the concerns they had before sending us the report. Offered some suggestions and insight without pushing extra services. Highly recommended
