Ryan inspected a home we're looking to buy. He was thorough and took time to chat to explain issues, possible costs and even potential renovations. Fast turn around on inspection report.
Would definitely reach out to him again if I needed a home inspected.
Great experience overall and I would highly recommend. Ryan was flexible with our changing schedule to accommodate the time we could meet him at the house. He took extra time to explain things minor and major items during the inspection. The report was provided same day and was extremely thorough. He is extremely knowledgeable and to the point. The efficient and effective workflow made this portion of the home buying process stress free. Thanks again Ryan
Ryan is absolutely who you want to hire for a home inspection.
PHONE CONSULTATION: The first reason I knew he was the right choice was when I was shopping around for home inspectors for my historic home. Ryan looked up the listing of my property and gave me an in-depth and personalized consultation right then over the phone. From my experience that's rare and shows high integrity and good character.
PRICING: His prices were also right in the middle of the higher and lower estimates I received, with bundled savings for add-ons. The standard home inspection included the roof which is pretty much unheard of.
EXPERTISE: The home I'm buying was built in 1840 and Ryan's experience from working on historic homes in and around Annapolis was clearly evident throughout the entire inspection (he arrived about a half hour before we were scheduled to start). He was extremely thorough and knowledgable and on top of this he uses the latest technologies. A lot of inspectors I evaluated boasted cool gadgets, but I was wary they were compensating for lack of experience. Ryan marketed himself, never his tools. So it was a pleasant surprise to see his entire arsenal, but it was clear that his expertise is what led the inspection, with the tech used to support accurate documentation, never a crutch for a lack of skills.
INSIGHTS: By the end of the day I felt confident about my understanding of every inch of the property - top to bottom, inside out. Ryan was very even keel about balancing concerns/recommendations with the fact that naturally there is a lot of maintenance required for historic homes. I was never overwhelmed. Ryan was so thorough that he even gave me a tutorial for all of the appliances. It's super small to mention in a review, but I'm so relieved that I don't need to figure out how to operate things like the fancy oven on my own.
EXTRAS: I recommend the tamper-proof radon test for peace of mind. If you have a chimney, I 1,000% recommend the chimney inspection. Ryan had this crazy cool camera that provided photo evidence along the entire chimney of a lot of issues he uncovered within the fireplace. This documentation has been invaluable in negotiating with the seller.
REPORT: Just a few hours after the inspection, the report was delivered to my email. It was super thorough with annotated photo documentation. The radon results were prompt as well.
BEST EXPERIENCE: My dad came along, who is a master electrician, and he was also blown away by Ryan. In the purchase of my last home, I thought I had a great inspector, but I told Ryan that that guy pales in comparison to his work. I highly recommend Broadneck Home Inspections!
I have used Ryan twice now and he is amazing! Everytime I have called, he has picked up the phone, and I was able to get the inspections completed within two days. He arrives on time, he is thorough, and he is a pleasure to deal with. Both reports came back to me within a 24 hour time period. The technology he uses is very up to date. I was provided with a complete colored inspection report that listed every detail, big or small. I highly recommend using Ryan and Broadneck Home Inspections, LLC.
We can't say enough positive things about Broadneck Home Inspections! Ryan is so knowledgeable, professional, honest, and responsive. He not only provided us with a thorough report, he also supported us after the inspection was over. He walked us through everything and answered any questions we had. We can't thank Ryan enough for making this process so easy for us. Ryan is truly the best of the best.
Working with Ryan at Broadneck Home Inspection was the best decision we made when purchasing our new home. Ryan's professionalism, knowledge and work ethic was above and beyond. We had constant questions and he was responsive and was able to answer all our questions. He used technology that most inspectors do not have and he found water damage and electrical problems that otherwise we would have not seen. We feel hiring Ryan
was the best money we spent when buying our new home. We have since recommended Broadneck Home Inspections to everyone.
Ryan has inspected a couple of homes for me before I purchased. He really saved me on ONE (which I terminated my contract on) and found issues with a SECOND which allowed me to negotiate a very fair price so I would have budgeted funds to fix the home the way I wanted to and as it truly needed.. I personally would not buy a house without his input. I have subsequently called him for additional advice and he has answered all 3 times on the first try. Invaluable to have a business person like that in your corner. Worth every penny.
Ryan was AMAZING! We are first time home buyers and were very anxious about the home inspection process. Ryan walked / talked us through everything and answered all our questions. We appreciated his in depth report and patience. Fast turn around and very professional. Highly recommend.
Great service that I will be recommending to my friends. Ryan gave me all the information I needed to make informed decisions about the home. He caught many things that I think other inspectors would have missed.
Ryan was great! the inspection (for our potential new home) lasted over 5 hours and he was very thorough, he even went on the roof. Then he sent us a very long detailed report which included nice regular and infared pictures. During the inspection he always took the time to answer all our questions and even a couple weeks afterwards when we still had more questions, he would quickly respond to our emails. If we ever need to have an inspection done again we would hire him again!
Ryan did our home inspection including:
- Home Inspection
- Water Quality Inspection
- Well and Septic Inspection
- Thermal Imaging
- Radon Testing
- subcontracted for termite inspector who met us there during the main inspection.
The house was built in the 1930s and has a lot of character, and Ryan took his time to carefully go over every room and walk us through every element of the house. As first time homebuyers we had a ton of questions and he answered each and every one of them. Learned a ton and couldn't be happier with his service.
He was the only inspector we could find that was able to do every type of inspection we needed. Without him we would have had to make appointments with at least 2-3 inspectors and coordinate all the appointments.
10/10 would recommend him to a friend.
I wanted a rental inspection done before I signed a lease on a condo and I'm so glad I found Broadneck Home Inspections! Not only was Ryan professional and thorough, he took the time to answer my many questions. He explained to me how certain items in the condo worked and how to take care of them (i.e. HVAC system). He alerted me to a plumbing issue that needed immediate attention and I am very grateful for that! In the future when I am ready to purchase a home I will definitely be using Broadneck Home Inspections again. Highly recommend!
Just hired Ryan to inspect an old home that was built in 1902. I have decided not to move forward with the deal but already know I'll hire Ryan again when I find another home I want to buy. Tremendously valuable detail in his report. Just outstanding. Jan. 23rd update: hired Ryan once again of course to complete an inspection for another home. This will be my third time hiring Ryan.
