Thorough, professional, and honest

Evelyn Sharkan

Amazing! Would choose him again over any other company!! Great work and thank you for being part of our home buying process. :D

Edward Jones

I felt that my inspection was very detailed and accurate of all discrepancies, particularly the main problems. The specifics about the problems were put in Layman's terms which avoided a lot of confusion. The combination of picture and writing really helped my understanding Of some of the major safety concerns mentioned during the inspection.

Kevin Stewart

Bastian did exactly what he said he would do and arrived when he said he would. He was very thorough and pleasant to work with. I would certainly use him again and would highly recommend him to others.

Ki A

Had a great experience with my 11 month warranty home inspection process. Bastian was quick to respond, scheduled me within a very reasonable timeframe, provided some professional feedback and tips for my home as he did my walk thru. He was efficient, very meticulous with his inspection, and extremely courteous to my home. I had a new home build that was previously not inspected by Bastian, he found some items that were not seen in the primary inspection and even gave me professional tips on how to improve some of my current home maintenance items. I highly recommend him for your inspection needs. Thank you Bastian!

Vernon Kiester

Bastian did an amazing job. He found stuff that the appraiser missed and made sure we knew what we were getting into. If I buy another house I will be sure to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone getting their inspection done.

Ryan Siemer

For a home inspection, Bastion provided exceptional service in a timely manner and produced a very thorough report. His attention to detail and attentive descriptions not only provided complete descriptions of issues but also his report gave some explanation of how he tested each item and to what level of importance should be considered. The report included definitions and some general information so you can better understand.

Brigitte Rickards

Very professional service to inspect our vacation home before closing and we are so glad we hired Bastian Steuer as he found a few problems.

susan randone

I hired 2 the core home inspection to come look at a deck that I just had built a couple of months ago. Bastian took the time to check over everything and provided me with a detailed report. He was professional and kind. He also made himself available for questions after the report and took the time to come back out to check a couple of things I questioned. I sure wish I knew him when I bought my house here in Emerald Isle 8 years ago. The home inspector I used was horrible. He missed so much I probably wouldn’t have bought the house had I known its true condition.
