“ When we first moved to Bloomington, we didn't know anyone in the area and became involved with an inexperienced building company. Somewhat ironically, the builder suggested we contact Sherlock Homes Inspection Service, Inc. if we felt 'concerned' about their abilities. As our new house progressed, we began to see signs of trouble that did not go away, despite our protests. Had it not been for your company, we would have been stuck with a terrible house that would have been nearly impossible to resell. The inspection report you provided gave us the proof we needed to back out of the deal, and find a much more experienced builder. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and we have been recommending your company ever since.
Sincerely,
Jennifer and Phillip Steinbachs ”

“ I have never sent a thank you note when remitting payment on an invoice before, but THANK YOU. Your service was so complete and thorough, we had to ask some 'veteran' home buyers if their service was as good -- the answer was always 'NO'. Thank you for your help, we will call again.
Mr. & Mrs. Les Rutski ”

“ Thank you for the wonderful job you did on our house inspection. We especially appreciated how you took the time to explain things. Your company came highly recommended, and with employees like yours, it is obvious why!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Amy Guerrettaz & Kyle Fessler ”
