Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.!!
