We had such a great experience with Carmelo! From the beginning, he was super easy to work with and got us scheduled right away. We also had some last-minute scheduling changes, and he was extremely accommodating, which we really appreciated.He was SO thorough with the inspection and took his time going through everything with us. He explained what he was seeing, answered all of our questions, and made sure we actually understood everything before he left. We never felt rushed at all. But I have to say, the inspection report was probably the most impressive part! We received it incredibly fast, and I honestly couldn’t believe how detailed it was. It was extremely organized, easy to understand, and included tons of clear pictures showing exactly what he was referring to. Everything that needed attention was clearly pointed out and explained, which made it so much easier for us to understand what needed to be repaired, what was more important, and what we needed to keep an eye on.Buying a home can already be stressful enough, so having such a detailed report to go back and reference gave us so much peace of mind. You can definitely tell Carmelo takes pride in his work and doesn’t just rush through an inspection to get it done.Amazing communication, super quick turnaround, extremely thorough inspection, and an even better report. We are so happy we chose him and would 100% recommend Carmelo to anyone needing a home inspection!

We had a great experience with our home inspection. He was very thorough, professional, and took the time to carefully go through the home and explain what he was looking for and what he found along the way. We really appreciated how detailed and knowledgeable he was, and he made sure we understood everything rather than just handing us a report. He was also very approachable and made sure to follow up with all of our questions. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing a good job and making sure his clients feel informed. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough and professional home inspection!

We reached out to A Patriot Property Inspections for a second opinion while we were buying our home. We already had an inspection done by another inspector, but honestly, getting the report and trying to figure out what we really needed to worry about versus what we could just fix ourselves was a little overwhelming. He took the time to go through the report with us and explain everything in a way that made sense. One thing he pointed out was that our water heater was around 25 years old. He helped us understand that this was probably something we should ask the seller to replace rather than taking on that expense ourselves right after buying the house. We took his advice, asked the seller to replace it during negotiations, and they agreed! That kind of guidance was really helpful throughout the whole process. He helped us figure out what was worth bringing back to the seller and what wasn't a huge deal and could be handled later. He was thorough, easy to talk to, and always quick to get back to us when we had questions. Even though he wasn't the inspector who originally inspected our home, having his opinion gave us a lot more confidence in the decisions we were making. I would definitely recommend A Patriot Property Inspections, especially if you want someone who will take the time to help you understand what you're looking at and not just hand you a report.

Although it was a condo on the smaller side, he took his time walking through . We really appreciated how knowledgeable and honest he was.
