Cynthia Mullen
I am purchasing a condo. I wasn't present for the inspection. I live out of state, so my son filled in for me. He was very pleased with John Foley's inspection. John explained everything to my son regarding what he was finding and what needed to be done. He answered all my son's questions. We were very pleased with John's inspection and would recommend Blue Crab to anyone we know that is looking for a home inspector.
Response from the owner:Hi Cynthia,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that John took great care of your son during the inspection and made sure everything was clearly explained, especially with you being out of state. It’s important to us that our clients feel informed and confident, even when they can’t be there in person. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
