Thorough! Best Price! Knowledgeable! Patient! Explained Details! Very Experienced! Quick! Overall an excellent experience. I can buy the home with confidence. Thank you Brian, Sharon Cooper

We’ve used Brian on four separate occasions now, all for different properties and will continue to use him for any future properties. He is extremely thorough and takes the time to explain and answer any questions we have regarding the inspection reports. From a real estate investors stand point, we couldn’t be more pleased. The peace of mind you will have after his inspections can’t be beat.

Good job well done for all my inspection needs. Definitely like your reports, they are easy for the buyer to read & understand with comments vs check boxes & photos right inline, in the report with arrows pointing to the observation. I went over the inspection report and was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail and organization in it. You are a master of your craft and it shows that you take a lot pride in your work. It was the best inspection I've ever seen and glad I went with you. The whole inspection process was a pleasure and will defiantly keep you in mind for my future inspection needs and any referral opportunities. Also, appreciate the follow up and you offering your invaluable advice after the inspection. Thank you again for a job well done 👍

Excellent service Brian was very thorough when walking us through the inspection. Scheduling an inspection was fast and smooth process. Highly recommend Actuate Inspections to future home owner including first time home owners like ourselves.

I had an outstanding experience with Brian! He is incredibly knowledgeable and personable, making the entire inspection process smooth and easy. The variety of payment options was a bonus, and I loved being able to handle everything online and via text. Brian provided detailed digital reports with photos of every aspect he inspected, showcasing his thoroughness. He went above and beyond with specialized tools and offered additional services like sewer scope and mold testing at very reasonable prices—services I couldn’t find with other inspectors. I was able to choose these add ins ahead of inspection. There were no upscale tactics. A competitor even suggested these services weren't necessary, but I’m so glad I opted for them because Brian uncovered a mold issue during the mold test inspection. He completed all services in one visit, and I received the mold lab results in less than a week. If I ever buy another home, I will definitely turn to Actuate again. I highly recommend Brian and suggest investing in those extra services—they're a small price to pay for peace of mind on such a significant purchase!

Brian was great! He was very thorough throughout the whole inspection. He went over the high priority problems with us in person and had the report back to us within a few hours. He also followed up with us to make sure we didn’t have any questions!! Cost was great! Definitely recommend him!!

Job well done. Easy to contact. Fast response. Vey thorough job that included a thermal scan. Very detailed report with lots of information. He then went through the report with me and answered any questions I had. Would recommend!

Brian was thorough with his inspection. My wife and I have used him multiple times, the experiences have been seamless and stress free. He gives you detailed reports, and makes sure you understand what you are reading. Recommend him to anyone needing a property evaluated!!

A friend recommended Actuate Inspections for my home inspection when I had placed on offer on a home, and they were punctual, thorough, very professional and provided photos and detailed reports of anything found with the home. I was able to use the report to negotiate a better deal for the house and was thrilled with the whole process! I 100% percent recommend this company to anyone searching for a top tier home inspector!

When it comes to buying a home we all know it can get a bit stressful with finding that perfect place, inspections, appraisals…etc. We could not have chose anyone better than Brian Shannon for the inspection of my daughter and her fiancé’s first home! I reached out to Brian after they got an accepted offer and he was quick to respond and worked them right into his schedule within just a couple of days. Brian was on time and got the job done….he was able to save them from money spent due to excitement and not looking at the bigger picture of things that were covered up. So on to the next house…..again Brian was quick to respond and got the job done and now they are on their way to being homeowners in the perfect house! Brian offered a very detailed inspection report that was easy to read and with pictures. It was a great unstressful experience! Now off to the next step! Highly recommend Brian! Thanks again!

Brian was very prompt and thorough with their inspection! Explained everything and will highly recommend them to everyone seeking a home inspection!

Brian at Actuate Inspection done an amazing job. Quick turn around, friendly, very specific and thorough. I would recommend his work to anyone.

Brian was very helpful and professional. He showed up on time, had everything that was needed and was extremely thorough. He answered all of our questions and made sure we understood exactly what our house needed. He didn’t sugarcoat anything and kept it very realistic and professional. He gave accurate estimates on repairs and we felt very comfortable and confident with his knowledge. Let’s just say if I had a 90 year old grandma who needed a house inspected, I’d send Brian without a second thought.

Brian was amazing! He walked me through the process and taught me as we went. As a first time home buyer to have such a amazing inspector to come and want to educate his clients so they understand and learn to help them in the future makes this process not only less stressful but also very personal. I was able to learn so much from him and he was so kind and willing to teach me. I will definitely recommend Brian to any first time home buyer and all my family! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

Very thorough. Excellent communication. Work was transferring me from out of the country and Brian did an amazing job at putting our minds at by inspecting the house for us.
