Denise Smith
Randy Cottrell did a home inspection for us on Saturday. He walked us through what the inspection would involve and how he would proceed.
He did a very thorough job of checking to make sure everything worked as it should. We feel he was very knowledgeable and he did not rush through the inspection.
When he was finished, he walked us through things like where to find the water main turn off, the electrical box etc. He also took the time to explain the items he felt were marginal and would require repairs. He provided the written report that summarized and detailed the entire inspection later that day.
We felt very comfortable with the job that he did and would highly recommend him for a home inspection.
Response from the owner:Hi Denise! Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We're so happy to hear that Randy took the time to walk you through the process, answer your questions, and make sure you felt confident every step of the way. That kind of thoroughness and care is exactly what we strive for with every inspection. We always do our best, and feedback like yours truly motivates us to keep raising the bar. Thanks again for the recommendation! We’re so glad you had a great experience with Blue Crab Inspections! - The Blue Crab Inspections Team

LaQueena Delaney
Patrick was great. He was very thorough and explained all that he would be doing. After each section we discussed any major concerns immediately. I liked that I could ask questions right on the spot. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to see the final report a couple of hours later. I love this company.
Response from the owner:Hi LaQueena, Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with Patrick he’s definitely one of the best when it comes to being thorough and easy to talk to. Glad you felt comfortable asking questions along the way, and it’s great to hear the quick turnaround on the report was a nice surprise. We really appreciate the love and support! - The Blue Crab Inspections Team
