RGE Home Inspection LLC

Patrick came to us highly recommended and after working with him, it's easy to see why so many people view him as the best. He was very professional and very personable. We wanted a home in Taos that clearly had some issues and we wanted to be sure we had the most complete inspection we could have. Not only did he go over everything with us, he answered all of our many questions and then helped us with a list of people he recommended to use for the many things we needed fixed. He spent a lot of time with us and really helped us feel we understood what we were buying. I can't say enough good things about Patrick. He is wonderful and now we feel wonderful about the home we are buying! You will be glad he conducted your inspection! He's the best!!! Thanks Patrick!!!

We are purchasing a vacation home from out of state and had a wonderful experience with Patrick. His communication was excellent, we actually got all the info we needed from his voicemail message, very well prepared. Additionally he was able to accommodate a reschedule the sellers requested and did a thorough job on the inspection. Together we walked through every item on the inspection report until my wife and I were comfortable with them all. I would 100% recommend Patrick and absolutely use him again.

Patrick did the inspection with my daughter in taos as I was out of town. He was thorough and explained in detail any questions my daughter asked. His report was detailed and comprehensive. He followed up with a phone call to me and went through the entire report over the phone page by page. Very satisfied could not have found anyone better. Definitely call patrick if you need an inspection performed.

FANTASTIC experience, start to finish!! Patrick was the most organized and thorough home inspector we've ever worked with. Always on time: the callbacks, the documents, the inspection itself, everything. He clearly loves what he does and really took the time to find every single thing we as buyers needed to know, and compiled them in a report that was full of useful resources and additional information. When we talked through his findings, he was patient, kind, and answered all of our questions without ever rushing us at all. He really made us feel like he had all the time in the world for us. 1,000% recommend!!

Both a long-time appraiser and a realtor in Taos remarked that Patrick's home inspection and report for an old adobe house that I am purchasing were the best that they had ever seen. I have had many building inspections and I could not agree more. He showed up early and his written email report arrived earlier than expected. He explained every item in person and framed the issues in a reasonable context. He found issues that another inspector had missed. He was very responsive to follow-up questions. He is experienced with houses in the region, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Patrick for a home inspection.

Excellent service and thorough inspection. Appreciate the level of detail and quick service including sending full report the same day. Highly recommended.

My wife grew up in Taos, and we decided to move here permanently after she had been away for almost 20 years. Her best friend, a real estate attorney in town, recommended Patrick to do our inspection on the home we are purchasing. In fact, she said do not use anyone else. Well, she was right! I can’t imagine getting better service and a more thorough inspection than what we were provided.

Patrick was on time, in fact, five minutes early. His communication from start to finish was top notch. He was extremely professional, and after his inspection, took his time to explain everything in great detail. He even explained that someone had been in the house and had turned up the radiant floor heat prior to inspection, so he was unable to get a proper thermal imaging of the floor. Because of this, Patrick offered to return to redo the floor imaging at a later date.

I don’t hesitate to recommend Patrick for any home inspection needs. He definitely has your best interests in mind, and you will surely have a wonderful experience!

Patrick was efficient, competent and easy to work with even from out of town. His reports were clear and well prepared, plus, he answered questions and communicated promptly and thoroughly. Great value compared to our previous 4 home inspections. We feel confident about the condition of our future home due to his professional input and will call him again should we ever need his services. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough about how highly my husband and I recommend Patrick! We had an unexplained heat loss tripling our propane use. The major HVAC companies in Taos could not figure it out, though they happily charged us over $1000.00 for their attempts. Patrick came out, was the first person to really listen to our description of what we had noticed, and within 30 minutes he found the cause of the problem (a door had blown off of the roof duct access) and fixed it. $45. Hire him!!

I am pleased to give Patrick the highest possible recommendation. We all want someone competent and professional to do our home inspection and, based on my experience with him, I think Patrick is the one. Organized, methodical, thorough, attention to detail, technical knowledge of home systems, familiarity with typical home issues and considerations in the Taos area, plus patience and clarity of explanation are all attributes that he brings to his work. He was happy to answer the many questions I had. He is on-time, responsive, and his reports are clear, well-formatted and documented. His post-inspection debrief to explain what he has found is hugely helpful and makes clear what you need to know before you close the deal. And to top things off, Patrick is a friendly and courteous person, motivated to do a superior job, customer service-oriented, reliable, and with the right smarts and experience to do it well. Thanks Patrick!

Use Patrick for your home inspection! He is the bomb--so knowledgeable! What an education he provided for us. He truly wanted us to understand and was happy to teach us. He is professional and passionate about making sure the buyer knows what he/she/they are purchasing.

I am in process of buying a home in the Taos, NM area. This is the third home I've purchased over the years and, without question, working with Patrick has been the best experience I've had with an inspector. He is thorough, detail oriented and extremely knowledgeable about homes, construction and systems. I was very pleased with his ability to break things down in a way that was easy to understand and to provide valuable feedback about prioritization of items on his report, giving me a clear sense of cost, benefit and criticality of concerns.

Patrick was a pleasure to interact with and was willing to go the extra mile to ensure my interests were being looked out for in this process, particularly given I am relocating from out-of-state and was unable to be onsite during the process.

I would highly recommend working with Rio Grande Equity Home Inspections!

I live a day's drive from Taos, where I am buying my retirement home, and it was important to me that I have a reliable inspector who would do a thorough job inspecting an older home. Patrick surpassed my expectations. He was thorough, realistic, and an excellent communicator. He followed up after doing his written report with a long telephone call with me explaining his findings in greater detail, and even made suggestions to me about the order in which I should address the issues uncovered at the inspection. He is tech-savvy and was expeditious in communicating via both email and phone, with great pictures to explain his findings. I feel like the service and the level of good faith communication Patrick provided me was truly excellent, and rare. I am very grateful to him for his conscientious work and honest communication; he didn't catastrophize things, but he didn't minimize them either. He was clear, specific, detailed, and I could never have imagined I would get such great service in a small town (or anywhere, really). HIGHLY recommend.

Wow. As a real estate investor and home owner, working with Patrick has been the best inspector experience I have ever had. He was thorough in investigating the property and took the time to make sure that I understood every aspect of the setup of a potential real estate purpose. Easy to communicate with, appointment set up with ease, arrived on time, and spent the time it took to ensure that I understood every detail of a potential buy. I would highly recommmend him and most definitely will be calling him again.

Patrick did a great job for us and spent a lot of time reviewing, in detail, his report with us. Would highly recommend.

Patrick Truillo saved me who I engaged after a soft estimate from a previous inspector, who was insufficient and not thorough. Patrick was absolutely the best. He backs up his findings with many clear pictures that I could understand. I really regret that my first inspector provided no information as to what need to be done. I recommend Patrick Truillo 100%.

Patrick performed a very thorough inspection of a house I am purchasing, and provided a very understandable review of his findings. Highly recommended.

Patrick conducted a thorough home inspection on a vacation home in New Mexico. We feel confident in purchasing the home knowing ahead of what repairs we expect to address. Thank you for a great detailed report which included photos and recommendations.

Patrick was highly recommended and was very polite, accommodating and professional. His report was very thorough, timely and conveniently sent to us via email because we are moving from out of state. The information he gave us located some things that needed to be taken care of by the seller, which helped us with other issues during the negotiation process. Mr. Trujillo is a wealth of information when asked about the construction and maintenance of southwestern style homes. We were very happy with Rio Grande Equity Home Inspections LLC.

I wanted to take a moment and offer a review and strong recommendation for Rio Grande Equity Home Inspection / Patrick. The value and quality of service is very hard to measure, yet I will do my best.

Scale 1-10, 10 being the best

1. Utmost professionalism 1-10 (10)
2. Depth and thoroughness of home inspection concerns which = outstanding immediate purchase value & ongoing value 1-10 (10)
3. Genuine knowledge of home geographic area and how that impacts home value 1-10 (10)
4. Ongoing support and explanation of home functions 1-10 (10)
5. Ongoing value of the actual report in obtaining homeowners insurance and related evaluations & upgrades to the home. We were able to easily send the report to the various insurance companies to accurately evaluate the value of the home for the proper level of insurance. We were also able to forward the report to other professionals that would be doing upgrades to the home. The quality and depth of the report has and continues to most valuable. 1-10 (10)

Again, I want to emphasize that 10’s for each of these points are 100% warranted. I have dealt with few professionals over the years that have represented such a depth of professionalism and genuine concern for a customer while offering such substantial ongoing value.

Thanks Patrick for the great work!

Efficient, through, and timely. He took time to explain any question I asked. Offered advice on repair or explained why it was only cosmetic or needing of repair and why. Report was delivered same day inspection was performed and then followed up by phone.

Patrick was very easy to work with and explained with pictures and words the problems we have with this purchase. Excellent knowledge of the many things that make up a house.

Patric showed up on time! He was knowledgeable and friendly. Answered my questions with knowledge, and explained more for me when necessary.
He took me into the crawlspace and walked me around the roof, explaining what he found along the way.
Very professional, I strongly recommend that you choose Rio Grande Equity Home Inspections!

Patrick was professional, friendly and available to help me with many questions-
During and after the Home Inspection. He was also helpful with referrals in the area,
and was honest and straight-forward. Patrick has helped me understand the priorities
of particular repairs, and Estimates and I highly recommend his services.

As a single buyer, and new to the area, its of the upmost importance to find the right inspectors
to work with- so I feel grateful to Rio Grande Home Inspections and Patrick Trujillo.

I recently needed an inspection for the 11th house that I bought in my life time. Patrick performed the most thorough inspection, by far, of all the ones that I had engaged. As a result I was confident in closing on the house with all the issues that he had identified resolved. Patrick also stops to answer questions that I had, which was plenty, in detail and always to my satisfaction. Highly recomended if you ever need an inspector in the TAOS general area.

We used Patrick to do a home inspection for a cabin in Angel Fire, NM. Both my husband and I were impressed with his thoroughness, his knowledge, his professionalism, and his complete explanations of what he was finding--whether it was a concern or a particularly well done installation. His follow up report was very thorough and he had links for our further review.

People, look no further than Rio Grande Equity for all of your home inspection needs. I needed a second opinion on a mountain home in Pagosa Springs, CO on short notice. On Friday I was referred to Patrick Trujillo, who assured me he could travel up to Pagosa the following Tuesday. The inspection was completed thoroughly and a report was in my email 24 hours later. Patrick's communication is top notch. He makes sure you understand any and all information included in the inspection, and is more than willing to address any questions or concerns you may have. It was refreshing doing business with such an honest, hard working, customer-oriented company. I will be using Rio Grande Equity for any and all future needs!

I am very glad that I chose Patrick Trujillo of Rio Grande Equity Home Inspections to do my inspection. Let me tell you why.

Patrick is extremely responsive. He got back to me immediately, asked me if I had any particular concerns about the house and clearly laid out what he would do. His bill was exactly what he quoted.

He showed up on time, prepared to go to work. He took the time to answer all of my questions. He delivered the report on time when he said he would.

He is very knowledgeable. He knows all of the codes and the rules, and he has the construction experience to evaluate what is going on with the house.

He is thorough. His documentation is extensive and complete. The broker was blown away and the sellers were agreed to lower the selling price to correct problems he identified. No promises that will happen for you, but you can rest assured that if there are any issues they will be clearly documented.

He followed up after he delivered the report, referred some people to me, and made himself available when I had a few additional questions.

We haven’t met so I am not sure what you expect from a home inspector - all I can tell you is that Patrick exceeded my expectations. I am happy to recommend him to you.

I highly recommend Patrick Trujillo of Rio Grande Equity Home Inspections. He was flexible and quick when scheduling a time to meet. He showed up on time with everything he needed for a thorough inspection. He supplied knowledgeable answers to all of my questions and a detailed report the following day. I will certainly seek him out for future home inspection needs. Thank you Patrick!

I highly recommend Patrick and Rio Grande Equity for home inspections. Patrick was professional and very thorough in his inspection. I received his report by email the same day.
Patrick certainly gave us the confidence in knowing exactly what kind of home we are purchasing and understanding the quality and integrity of that home.
Thanks Patrick!

We had Patrick conduct a home inspection on a mountain property we are buying. He is well versed in construction methods and finish techniques from his background in the trades. He is thorough, detail oriented and checks everything until he finds the answer.

Patrick's final inspection report was sent to us later that evening and was both comprehensive and concise. If you need a home inspection done, whether pre-purchase or pre-sale, give Patrick a call. You won't be disappointed.
