I recently worked with Cornerstone Property Inspections while considering the purchase of a home in Branson, MO, and couldn’t be more impressed. Jill, the office manager, was incredibly professional and helpful. She took the time to explain which inspections were recommended for my situation and worked quickly to get everything scheduled. Aaron, the owner and lead inspector, along with his colleague Hunter, were fantastic to work with. Aaron was very communicative throughout the entire process—he called me during the inspection whenever he found something that might require a closer look, allowing me to decide in real time whether to authorize additional inspections. He was very patient and talked me though everything they were doing. They ended up finding radon, mold, termites, structural issues, and roof problems. Their inspection report was incredibly thorough, complete with detailed explanations and photos. In the end, they saved me from buying a very flawed house, and I’m so grateful for their honesty, professionalism, and expertise.I recently worked with Cornerstone Property Inspections while considering the purchase of a home in Branson, MO, and couldn&rsquo...
