Bill Collins — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 15:52:36 +0000

In the past 25 years we have purchased over a dozen homes and have had home inspections performed on each one.

We recently purchased a new property and are happy to say that Ultra Sound Home Inspections performed THE MOST thorough, complete and professional home inspection we’ve ever experienced!

Bill and Kimpy Collins (Owners/Inspectors of Ultra Sound Home Inspections) are polite, professional, knowledgeable and timely in their inspection. The photo slide show of their findings and a verbal walk-through of the inspection results is invaluable and their follow-up written report is very clear and easy to understand.

We will definitely continue to use Ultra Sound Home Inspections in our future home inspections and look forward to working with them in the future!
