“I’ve known Brent since high school and he has always been an honest, trustworthy and integritous person, so naturally I called him when I found out he had a home inspection company. Brent came in to our potential new home and went through everything with a fine tooth comb. He was meticulous about everything. Brent explained things to me that needed to be done so I understood what he was talking about. He also gave me pointers on how he would fix a couple of things that needed to be taken care of. He’s also great with kids. My 2 year old daughter had to come with me to the inspection and he was very patient with her. He even let her help him point the flashlight at things when he needed to see them better. I got a very well put together and easy to read inspection report emailed to me a few days after the inspection so my realtor could have it on Monday morning to review. Thank you so much for the hard work you did to inspect our house. If any one ever needs a home inspector Shoemaker Inspections is the first place I will send them.”

Moving out to the west side to our new family home was a big step for us and it was refreshing to have My Shoemaker handle this task. Not only was he very thorough, but he was also very knowledgeable with every aspect of the home that he inspected. I got an education just listening to him go through the things he found. The inspection report also very valuable to have. If I get into investing out this way down the road, My Shoemaker will be my first call inspector! Thanks Brent!” - Daniel J Williams

There were a lot of things we missed and we were grateful that Brent was able to point them out to us. Not only did he walk through every little flaw he found, he gave us suggestions of how we could fix them and how we would go about it and even how much it would cost. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Also, the report was great. The pictures were awesome. He got the entire report done the very next day. My fiance even got stuck in the driveway because he backed into a wire and Brent helped him unstuck his car!”- Autumn Giles

 ★★★★★
“My fiance and I had Brent come and perform our home inspection when going through the purchasing process. As first time home buyers we had plenty of questions and were unsure what to expect. Brent was extremely personable and is a genuinely good person. He was more than happy to answer all of our questions, regardless of how simple the answer. During the home inspection he was far more thorough than I had anticipated any inspector would be, noticing details I likely wouldn't have spotted after living in the house for years. For minor issues/fixes he was a wealth of knowledge on how to best address each individual need and how to care for the home in the long term. Brent took detailed notes (and even photos) throughout the process, making the inspection report detailed and easy to follow. I'm glad we chose to use Brent as our inspector and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection.” - Arick Lagowski

- Caitlin W

★★★★★
“When I called Brent for information I was impressed by his professionalism and knowledge over the phone. He went out of his way to schedule a time despite the holiday and the sellers limited window for us to have access to the house. Brent arrived at the home prior to our appointment time and had already started the inspection to not waste the time we had. My husband walked through the entire inspection with him. We both asked tons of questions. Brent was patient and explained everything to both of us. Our realtor was amazed at the amount of time he spent inspecting the home inside and out. This was even more impressive to us because of the holiday. He never seemed rushed. This is not our first home purchase and we know what inspections are like by others in the industry. They cannot even compare to Brent. His professionalism and attention to all details are unmatched. His explanations helped both of us to understand everything about our future home. His report and all of the photos were key in renegotiating the price of the home to allow us to fix the major issues he found. The report will be invaluable in providing us with a list of everything to take care of and when we need to address it. The information he adds to the report explains what we need to know to decide if it is something we can do on our own or if we will need to hire someone. We hope this will be our final home purchase but if it is not, we will call Brent to do our inspection without a doubt!”  - Josh and Terri Anderson

We decided to have Brent conduct the inspection after reading a few of the review, and to say the least he did not let us down. The first impression went a long way and after a few minutes of meeting Brent his personality shined through. He is extremely professional and thorough in every aspect of his inspection. At no point did either of us feel like Brent was rushing through areas of the house or that he had other places to be. He took time during each room to explain up keep that we might expect and educate the two of us on our new home.

★★★★★
“Prior to flying from Arizona to South Haven, Michigan on a short notice I reviewed numerous home inspection reports and found Mr. Shoemaker’s reports to be representative of other technological reports I have used in the past. I had flown in town for my father’s funeral and wanted to have a home inspection done the next day. So first, let me commend Mr. Shoemaker’s willingness to accommodate my schedule. His 3 hour inspection of our home resulted in a computerized report depicting areas of concern with recommendations and timelines for each repair. I feel confident that his report provides a clear road map for those improvements necessary to prepare the estate for sale. In addition to the quality of service rendered as a home inspector, he also made some calls and provided a referral for a home appraiser, realtor, and a pest control company. Each referral exemplified the same professionalism as Mr. Shoemaker. I agree with the comments expressed by the other reviewers. You cannot go wrong if you choose Mr. Shoemaker for your home inspection. His report is superb and he takes the time to discuss his findings in length. Thank you for living up to your reputation.” —Linda Garvin Phoenix, Arizona

“I couldn't have wished for a better experience, Brent knows his stuff. Being a first time homebuyer and leaning on the younger side of life, there isn't a whole lot I know of when it comes to purchasing a home. I made personal note of the things I found when I first toured the property and Brent hit them all on the head during our inspection. He is extremely meticulous in his work and ensure he provides the most clear leave understanding explanation to ensure the buyer understands and he provides tips and best practices. He truly does inspect his homes as if he were purchasing them for his family each and every time by the reviews I've seen. The knowledge I gained from the experience is invaluable! His cost is absolutely nothing compared to the information provided. If you're shopping around for the cheapest inspector, then your priorities are not in order. When purchasing a home of several hundreds of thousands of dollars, an inspection fee should be the least of your concerns. It's clear why Brent stood out far atop all the other inspectors I researched in the area. His website is beyond professional and convenient, his certifications, qualifications, and support experiences shine bright for all to see, unlike the other guys. I cant rave about this man enough, and if I ever find myself in need of an inspection, please believe he will be my first and only call! Quit reading the customer reviews and book this guy already! You'll sleep easier knowing you did!!!!!” - Daniel Booker
