Very thorough and practical inspection that addressed all of our concerns above and beyond expectations.

I'm in the process of purchasing a property in Stamford, CT and I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Tom Lochtefeld. This is my second property and Tom was much better than the person that inspected my first home. He was thorough, professional and priced well. After watching him in action, I am confident that I am purchasing a good piece of property. Not only did he inspect everything from the attic to the garage door, he explained everything to me as he went along and also offered suggestions on what I would need to do to rectify the situation if I decided to proceed with the purchase. Hire Tom for your home inspections. You won't regret it!

Tom was very prompt, polite and easy to work with. He was unobtrusive during the inspection and responded quickly to our timetable. I highly recommend him.

Felt very welcome which made the process of inspection so easy and fun. I have to add they are very very informative and educational! Took the time to explain in detail everything we looked at during the inspection and had a few laughs as well. Definitely would do this again, now making me a loyal customer and I strongly recommend this company. Thank you NearWater Property Group.

Responsible, communicative company. Tom was explicit on his observations, was professional and on time like a Swiss clock. He pointed out certain items that have to be attended to before putting my house on the market. He did my Radon test and sent me the results ASAP. Tom was professional and very nice to deal with. His price was very reasonable. I strongly recommend this company for inspection.

I posted my request on a Sunday morning and he responded the same day. We set an appointment date & time and he was prompt and courteous. While doing the house pre-sale inspection he was completely open and honest about what needed to be done and what didn't. Everyone should hire them. PS...His name was Tom

Punctual, Knowledgeable, well prepared and equipped. Respectful of home and pet friendly. Detailed and concise report provided after inspection. Would highly recommend Nearwater for your home inspection.

We hired Tom for a home inspection project in Fairfield County, CT on a home that had been through multiple additions over a 100 year time period. The original house was built in the 1890â s. The first addition took place in the 1950â s, then again in the 1980â s and finally in 2000. Tom was able to sort out the unique details from each addition and give us valuable information and history about the house. Heâ s easy going, professional and very thorough.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
