Connor Mainwaring
Rob was knowledgeable, patient and explained everything he found to us and what it means. Reports are detailed and well organized. I'll be using Blue Crab again the next time I buy a house.
Jay Payne
I highly recommend Rob with Blue Crab Inspections. He was prompt, on time, respectful and extremely thorough throughout the entire inspection process. My clients are first-time homebuyers, Rob took the time to explain each step of the inspection and made sure they fully understood any issues that were identified. He carefully walked them through the report and how to interpret the inspection report, and emphasized he was available for any follow-up questions they may have after the inspection. Very professional. I would highly recommend Rob and Blue Crab Inspection needs.
