What People Are Saying
Matt recently inspected a home for us that we are in the process of purchasing. It is a LARGE house and in-law apartment and Matt went through the property with a fine toothed comb. He crawled, climbed, and braved a dozen rescue dogs to inspect this home from roof to foundation. His recommendations were well explained and thorough. We would recommend his services to anyone needing a home inspection.
Watchdog is THE company to call! Matthew was so kind and accommodating. He explained everything thoroughly for me and educated me further if I had a confused look on my face. This is one of the most useful experiences I’ve had as a first time home buyer. So grateful to have called the right company to inspect our home!
We worked with Matt for our home inspection before closing. He was very thorough, responsive, able to make time at our convenience, and patiently helped us go over the findings in the final report. Moreover, he was extremely respectful of COVID precautions to ensure that all involved were safe throughout the process. Would absolutely work with Matt again.
