Outstanding experience and a great teacher also! Personable, patient, and friendly. We are first time home buyers and he was more than willing to educate us with the inspection as well as help us brainstorm ideas for our new home. He has a vast history in home construction and it shows! Highly recommend!

I asked for a home inspection from Top Notch and they lived up to their name! Michael arrived on time and with a ready-to-go attitude. He laid out his plan for our house and got to work. He gave comprehensive answers to our questions and tabulated the results into an easily read report. He was positive, insightful and professional.

As someone who deals with home inspectors on a regular basis, Top Notch truly lives up to their name. Michael took his time and explained everything to the owner, answering all her questions, making sure she understood what he was finding and explaining the next steps. He was thorough, showed up early and put the owner completely at ease. Thanks for being Top Notch!!

The name of this company says it all-Top Notch. Mike and Toni are outstanding. Mike has conducted two comprehensive home inspections for us. The first one, in Suffolk, VA, saved us from making an expensive mistake after he uncovered several major issues that the seller refused to address. It was a deal breaker for us.

When we found another home in Elizabeth City, NC, we knew we could rely on Mike and Toni of Top Notch. Mike’s inspection was as thorough as ever, impressing even our real estate agent with his attention to detail. Toni’s responsiveness to our questions and concerns and her help with scheduling further demonstrated Top Notch’s commitment to customer satisfaction. If you’re in need of reliable home inspection services, don’t overlook this amazing family team!

Exceptional Service and Peace of Mind!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Top Notch Inspection Service for a home inspection, and I couldn't be more grateful for their exceptional service. From the moment I reached out for an appointment, their team was professional, courteous, and incredibly responsive.

The inspector, Michael, arrived on time and was thoroughly prepared. They took the time to explain the inspection process and answer all my questions, which really put me at ease. I was impressed by their attention to detail and comprehensive approach. They meticulously examined every corner of the house, from the crawl space to the roof, and even the smallest of details did not go unnoticed.

What stood out the most was Michael's ability to communicate findings clearly and effectively. They provided a detailed report with high-quality images, making it easy to understand any issues that needed attention. Their recommendations were practical and actionable, giving me the confidence to make informed decisions moving forward.

Thanks to Top Notch, I now have a clear picture of my new home’s condition, and I feel empowered to address any necessary repairs. I wholeheartedly recommend Top Notch to anyone in need of a home inspection. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart. Thank you for providing such peace of mind during this important process!

Mr. Michael demonstrated exceptional expertise. He possesses a thorough understanding of his duties and responsibilities. He conducts inspections with meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive knowledge of residential home inspection.

Top Notch did an awesome job our inspector was Michael and he walked the whole house and kept us updated with every detail/problem in the house we were interested in buying. He also followed up with us to make sure we didn’t have any questions before our realtor submitted the list of repairs to the seller of the home to make sure all details were properly described in the request of repairs. Overall i am very satisfied with their work and will be using them again for the reinspection before closing.

Micheal Stoneman did my house inspection, and he made everything go by smooth. I am very impressed with the knowledge he’s shared with me. He managed to answer all of my questions, and made me feel confident on the overall inspection of my new home!

Top Notch is exactly that... Top Notch when it comes to home inspections! Both Toni and Michael were a pleasure to work with! Very professional and detail oriented. I can't say enough about our inspector Michael, he has years of experience and made us feel like we were in good hands throughout the inspection of our potential home purchase. Would highly recommend them and will be scheduling a reinspection with them before our final walk through. Thank you for the great service Toni and Michael at Top Notch!

Review #2!
We had Michael out for our reinspection before closing. Again he is a true ace at his profession....he revealed that the seller hadn't completed all of the repairs that we had agreed to through our negotiation period!!! Through his reinspection we were able to get all repairs completed before closing. Sometimes I believe that sellers may not be the most forthcoming and honest when it comes to repairs. It is so important to get a reinspection before closing for peace of mind. Top Notch offered our reinspection at a discounted rate too, score! Also once again Toni was also a pleasure to work with, she is Top Notch in my book! Thank you Top Notch for all of your support throughout the process of buying our first home!

I wish I could give Michael Stoneman and Top Notch Inspection 10 stars! Michael is a TRUSTED source of home repair and home construction knowledge. I used Top Notch to perform my home inspection for a house I planned (and did) purchase and then again for the re-inspection.
This work isn't just a trade he stumbled onto, not having anything else to do with his life. He's passionate about every detail so that the homeowner is fully informed of any and all possible defects and the level of importance for a potential repair.
The next best part about TopNotch's service is their reporting. It's incredibly detailed and, yet, easy to understand.
Lastly, their fees are reasonable. I think Top Notch understands that you're already committing a large amount of your savings for a home purchase, so why make the home inspection process more expensive.
You'll be very pleased with the service provided.

The inspector that this company assigned to me (Michael Stoneman) was exactly as this business name implies ... "Top Notch." He was informative, thorough and friendly. He answered all my questions and took the time to get the job done right, even though a large portion of that included hours spent out in the sweltering heat! I would recommend Michael and the pros at Top Notch to anyone.

Michael was very thorough. He was able to diagnose/ inspect areas that our other inspector could not. We will be using Top Notch Inspections for all our future needs.

We had the pleasure of working with Michael, I am big on being timely and he beat that ten folds. He was not only punctual, but precise and swift with his inspection. Michael took the time to not only do his job but also explain each and everything that he was doing. Asking every so often if we had questions. Once everything was done he sent his report over to us and made recommendations. If you want an affordable inspector in the Suffolk area he is your guy. We will continue to recommend him and TopNotch to our community. Thank you again Michael!

Michael did an awesome job! He walked through every bit of the house checked everything in detail. Honestly, I was not expecting that much comprehensive inspection. He literally checked everything in and out of the house! He explained what he was going to do before he started and briefed me his findings by going through a checklist when he completed the inspection. He made concise explanations to clarify the consequences of his findings. He is a real professional who has a friendly manner. He definitely deserves five star!

A good home inspection is vital for home owner peace of mind. Whether our offer is accepted/rejected I feel so much better having the kind of *thorough* inspection Michael provides. This really is a Top Notch business and I’m definitely going to be calling them again.

This company lives up to their name! Scheduling an appointment is easy and fast; office and field staff are professional, polite, efficient, and courteous; prices are very reasonable; the inspector did an excellent job on the two homes I've had inspected, finding issues on one which made me reject one possible new home (and saving me from a potentially expensive home purchase due to required repairs). I highly recommend this company for any home inspection you may need.

Andrew Benfield

Professional, timely and acted In the interest of the client and not builder. Would suggest to anyone getting new construction as well as any “as-is” sites. Knowing what builders might let fly for not new-construction will carry over to “older” stuff and honesty is what makes business in that case. Protecting the inspecting client (aka the buyer)appears to be TopNotch’s goal and much appreciated.

I love Michael and Toni, they are always flexible and extremely professional, and I can always count on an informative and thorough inspection.

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
