W.N. Summerville SC
Very Satisfied, exceeded my expectations. We are first time home buyers therefore, we are still learning a lot about this entire process. When it came time to search for an inspector I was afraid because of all the bad stories I've heard about them overtime. However, I must admit, when I first spoke with Ray he seemed a little unsure or maybe that was all me. However, once I met him for the first time, he was very approachable and easy going. Throughout the inspection we stayed in the house while he worked. About an hour before the inspection ended my fiancé and I left to grab lunch, headed back to find Ray waiting on us. Although he was finished with the entire inspection, he managed to take time out in order to walk throughout the ENTIRE house showing us all defects. Any questions we had he made us feel comfortable asking. I really enjoyed him and his service.. If all fails with this home, I'll be calling him back again!!
T.J. Summerville SC
It was a pleasure meeting you. Again, thank you for your insight and your thorough inspection, this definitely gives us a baseline on what is required to bring this home up to standards. Great service!!
M.B. Summerville SC
Very Satisfied. Exceeded my expectations. Report was very detailed and explained everything.
C.H. North Charleston SC
Very Satisfied, exceeded my expectations. Blue Palmetto is a Blue Chip home inspection agency. They are prompt, open to discussion, honest and trustworthy. I felt protected and well served by their inspector. Mr. Ray Thornburg is a true professional with years of experience as both a home builder and licensed inspector. I consider him the MVP of property evaluators and dwelling inspection.
Highly recommend this company based upon their methodology, professionalism, knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile to deliver an extensive evaluation of your property. Blue Palmetto is a firm that stands behind its mission to leave no stone unturned while evaluating the quality and safety of your home.
R.K. Summerville SC

M.N. Summerville SC
Very Satisfied, Exceeded my expectations. Ray came to do our home inspection, which immediately turned into an educational session with Ray leading me through the best ways to care for and protect my home and investment. He is whip smart, caring, and professional. I've been so impressed with the convenience of his website, the pdf for our inspection, and photos and links included in his report. He truly combines old-fashioned know how with modern technology to deliver comprehensive service with ease. As I've had contractors bid issues that Ray discovered, I've heard several comments about how surprised they were that someone caught the issues that Ray has an eye for. His emphasis is on the safety and longevity for the home. I wouldn't think of calling anyone else. He provided the road map to guide my buying decision with the purchase of our home.
H.K. North Charleston SC

B.H. Summerville SC
Ray is very thorough, he may not find every problem but he does his best to find anything he can. When he does find an issue he takes his time to give his professional opinion on the severity of the problem as well as if this is something a home owner could do on their own. I recommend Ray to all of my clients and I back that claim up by using him on my personal home. Thanks a lot Ray.

I would highly recommend Blue Palmetto Home Inspection to anyone looking to purchase a new home. The report was incredibly thorough and gave us a very clear picture of the condition of our home. The inspector was easy to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. He called us before the inspection to see if there were any things in particular we wanted him to look at, and called after to follow up. Very communicative and helpful!

W.J. Adams Run SC
Very satisfied, met my expectations. My wife and I are being relocated to South Carolina for business and after several home finding trips to the Charleston area it became apparent that once we found a new home due to timing and logistics I needed to hire out the inspection.
As a former builder and licensed inspector I chose Ray Thornburg at Blue Palmetto for my home inspection because of his building and inspection knowledge.
Having only a phone conversation with Ray I felt confident that he would be able to give a professional non bias report.
After receiving his timely and detailed report I knew my instincts were correct about Ray Thornburg and Blue Palmetto.

I would strongly recommend Blue Palmetto Home Inspection to anyone that will hear me. He was very thoughtful, professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous on the site.

B.H. Summerville SC
We didn't know who to go with with our home purchase so we asked our realtor for a recommendation and went with it. We're extremely happy we did. Ray is simply awesome. He has an old-school work ethic that is amazing. He was on time, extremely thorough and down to earth about his findings. He was all over that house. He found things about a "perfect" house that prompted us to hire a structural engineer. The structural engineer confirmed what Ray said, the house was sound but needed some repairs. The difference is Ray found more discrepancies than the engineer did and submitted a professional, comprehensive report he emailed us at 11 PM that day. The engineer charged more, found less and gave us a phone call and a two paragraph report. We will definitely rehire Ray for the followup inspection.
Would you recommend Blue Palmetto Home Inspection to friends? yes
Comments: I can only speak for Ray, as I'm sure every inspector is different. But if you get Ray you have nothing to worry about. Your inspection will be professional, thorough, on time, and worth every penny to us as home buyers. We had a perfect experience with Palmetto Home Inspection. Highly recommended.
W.D. Charleston, SC
The report was very easy for me to understand. I appreciated that he listed the reason why the “bad” stuff was actually bad. I didn’t even know about the pipes end access needing to be above ground for better and easier Maintenance! I was very grateful for his patience in answering all my questions as well. 1st time home buyer and it always nice to have someone who actually wants to help. 5 star company.

Very Satisfied, exceeded our expectations. Our inspector arrived before his scheduled time! We really appreciate that! He was respectful of the property, he was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He took his time explaining things to my husband and myself. Our report arrived that evening and was ready to read and understand.
He gave us a feeling of trustworthiness, and we didn’t doubt any of his findings or suggestions!
Thank you!!

Satisfied, met my expectations. I called in to check on the estimated time I would be receiving my report and I was able to not only get my questioned answered, but Mr. Ray went ahead and talked over a few things that I would be expecting to find on my inspection report. He was very kind and assured me I could reach back out to him at anytime if I had others questions or concerns. I recommend them.
H.A. Harleyville SC
Very satisfied, exceeded my expectations. As someone who knows absolutely nothing about plumbing or electrical work or general construction, he was very helpful in explaining that things weren't imperative but would present a problem later on the only suggestion I have would be to elaborate on how bad or maybe a price range to fix the issues would be. He was very nice and helpful and my suggestion would be really going above and beyond though. I appreciate the shirt as well, very comfy. I recommend Blue Palmetto Home Inspection to my friends.
K.J. St. Stephen SC

D.W. Hanahan SC
Ray was very thorough and explained everything to us and what would help protect our rental from more damage. This was the best inspection experience I’ve ever had! I have peace of mind now because we were able to see everything that needed fixing thanks to the efficient pictures that were taken. Can’t recommend Blue Palmetto enough!
