What Our Customers Say

Don is fantastic to work with. He is knowledgeable and explains everything he is doing. He listened to our concerns about possible mold, but did not try to push more services then needed. Which I appreciated. He treated our home with respect and was great with our crazy dogs! I would recommend Don at Payne’s Home Inspection to anyone looking to have their home inspected. He does home inspections for a house sale, mold testing, and more.

Amber B.

Don set up a mold test for my family in our home. He came out the next day, inspected/ tested all questionable areas and we received the lab report 2 days later. Every step was very professional along the way and we highly recommend Don for any of his many services.

Steven K.

Could not have had a better experience. Don did some lead testing for me for my vacation home and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process. Very prompt responses and his price was more than fair. Highly recommend him
