      I am very pleased with Down South Home Inspections. I called on Tuesday and they were available the very next day. I wasn’t able to meet them there as I was in the hospital with my newborn and the inspector texted me to let me know the progress. I really like the electronic report that they sent us. It made it easy to review the report and share it with the builder. They caught some things that we would have definitively missed and I very much recommend them.

      David is a wonderful home inspector. He came highly recommended by a local real estate agent and I see why. He answered every call - I never reached his voicemail. He was flexible with scheduling our inspection and was willing to answer any questions we had before, during and after the inspection process. His report is very thorough and includes pictures. He even walked through the house with us to point out what he found and went through the report with us before leaving. Our report was sent same day of inspection. Highly recommend!!

      David completed a home inspection before buying a new house. He was professional, thorough, courteous, and knowledgeable. He even allowed our kids to follow him around for a bit. After the inspection he explained everything clearly and was concise. He answered any questions we had and gave advice. We would highly recommend David and deep south home inspections for anybody needing these services! Thanks David!!

      We needed a pre-sheetrock inspection done. I was able to book the same day. Fast response rate and very professional to correspond with. The inspection report was easy to understand. We will be using Down South Home Inspections for our future home inspections! Thanks David!!
