My experience with Bryan and Bryan inspection was very happy. The lady who scheduled my home inspection was very helpful and very responsive to my inspection related requests. David and Daniel conducted the inspection very professionally and thoroughly. They spent almost 5 hours on the inspections, paid attention to all the details and explained their major findings to me in layman language. They then provided me a well organized report within two hours, which I had found very easy to navigate. I highly recommend Bryan and Bryan to everyone who need reliable and professional home inspection service.

Bryan and Bryan were very prompt and communicative. Due to our relatively tight crawlspace they scheduled the perfect "Round peg for the round hole" Inspector. Larry was a pleasure to work with. He was very detailed in his inspection and went far beyond my expectations explaining the results and his recommendations for us moving forward. Terry and I would HIGHLY recommend Bryan & Bryan....and especially Larry to anyone including friends and family!! Thanks again Larry!

Met the inspector at the house while we were giving a walk through to family. The inspector was immensely knowledgeable. He talked to my wife and I about several items that he had noted by the time we arrived and went into detail about the issues and potential problems. The inspection report we received has been instrumental in our decision criteria regarding the house we have under option. There were some major issues unveiled that could serve to save us huge headaches down the road. We are currently trying to negotiate with the seller about the items we were made aware of. I am immensely grateful for the care and professionalism exhibited by this company in their inspection. I feel much better about where we stand and more able to make an educated decision. If we were not made aware of these issues, we could have potentially walked into a slew of unexpected expenses that could extend upwards of five figures. I'm trying to get a quote on the issues as I write this. It's Sunday, I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Well worth the money spent on the inspection. Moreover, when I talked with the service agent on the phone and shared the fact that the house had already been inspected and diagnosed with termite issues they didn't try to sell me on that service which I obviously didn't need. I was offered some optional services, which I declined, but they didn't employ sales tactics or try to pressure me into selling me something I didn't want. I can appreciate that in today's business climate. Thank you Bryan and Bryan! Without a doubt, if this house does not work out we will use you to inspect the next home we consider to purchase.

We called Bryan & Bryan on a Friday and they were able to schedule an inspection the next day! A representative called to confirm the time and date and answered many logistical questions for me which helped my anxiety a lot. Kerry was at the house Saturday morning on time with all the right tools and inspected the home thoroughly and did not mind me tagging along and asking a million questions. As a first time home buyer he was very patient with me and explained why certain issues were major and some were minor and fixable. The inspection took a few hours and was worth every penny. Kerry made the inspection a positive experience and his many years of experience and vast knowledge made me feel at ease with the whole process. I highly recommend Bryan & Bryan!

This company is a cut above in every way. From Jacquelyn's help and explanations of process to the easy quote and great prices to the actual inspection, this company was my favorite. David was my inspector. He and his partner answered all our questions, showed us areas of concern and educated us on causes/fixes. They were very thorough. If Washington had inspectors like these guys, it wouldn't be full of crooks. I can't say enough about them. Their report was thorough enough to show to a contractor and get a quote for work needed immediately. Best inspectors we have ever had. I highly recommend Bryan and Bryan Inspections.
