What Our Clients Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Jay and Noah of O’Brien Building Inspections just were the most professional and courteous owner/inspectors to take care of our State and County required SB721 inspection. As a property manager, this inspection was a new experience to go through and both gentlemen walked me through it with patience and simple explanations of what is required. From the first contact, their response to my calls, emails and tons of questions was immediately addressed. Definitely would use their services again!!“

2024 SB-721 Inspection
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I was incredibly impressed with Noah. He was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also exceptionally kind and respectful. The detailed pictures and clear explanations he provided gave me the exact clarity I was hoping for.
Being so far away from the property, having someone I can trust assess the quality of the work is invaluable. Noah’s thoroughness has given me a great deal of peace of mind, and I wanted you to know what a wonderful representative he is for your company. “
