About Summit to Sound Inspections

Summit to Sound performed an inspection on our very first house. Loren is amazing! He went above and beyond and spent over 3.5 hours inspecting every single aspect of the house that can be touched or seen. He also walked me through the maintenance that should be done on a regular basis in order to keep things in good shape. He will be our forever inspector for sure! Thanks again for a wonderful job!
