can also have issues - many builders in an attempt to cut costs, have laid off supervisors. Most employees in a construction company are not licensed contractors, they are working under the license of the General Contractor. The knowledge and experience of the licensed contractors is lost when lower cost employees are hired. Also without the guidance of the supervisors, many things will not be checked as they used to be and issues can arise. COMPANY HISTORY: We have grown Orion Home Inspections since 2004 during a down turn in Real-estate. While other companies were closing their doors due to lack of business, we were growing an inspection company by providing a quality service to our customers before, during and after the inspection. With an attention to detail and a dedication to customer service, we have been able to overcome the failing housing market and build a new age inspection business with the capability of printing a copy of your inspection including pictures of any issues we may find. If you are not able to be at the inspection we can e-mail you a copy of the inspection the same day as your inspection. We will discuss the inspection report on the phone. With the written description and pictures it will be very easy to see the issues and discuss repairs. Kevin started ORION HOME INSPECTIONS in 2004 and has been growing his business since.

"Orion was recommended by our realtor, and as we were out of state buyers we were unable to attend the inspection, therefore, choosing the right home inspector was critical as they had to act as our “eyes and ears” during the inspection. Orion (Kevin and Jennifer Barry) were the perfect choice as they were professional and exceeded our expectations as to customer service and professionalism. Orion presented us a very comprehensive report detailing deficiencies found with the home, for which the seller did not dispute and agreed to make all repairs saving us a considerable amount of money. Thank you Kevin and Jennifer, and congratulations on building a terrific business!" "You know that I've used your company, almost exclusively, since you inspected my own home purchase. But I had to write to you today to tell you what a wonderful job that Allan did with [my clients] on their Bay Creek purchase. They have complimented him over and over. He kept in contact with me all the way and kept me informed of what was happening. He has a wonderful knack for calming anxieties, both buyers and sellers. "This is a note to say how thrilled we are to be working with Kevin Barry at Orion Home Inspection. Their company is on our approved Home Inspector list and are very professional,knowledgable and timely and a pleasure to work with." "Orion Home Inspections is wonderful! From the ease of scheduling and customer payment, to the friendly and professional inspectors, I always know that my customers are in good hands with Orion. Kevin and his team are always on time (usually early), diligent and thorough, provide a professional and comprehensive report via email to both the agent and their buyer, and are always willing to discuss their findings with customers until they have full understanding of what the findings may be. You can feel 100% confident in recommending Orion Home Inspections to your customers." What a GREAT experience I just had with the ORION INSPECTIONS, INC. This was the first time I used their services, and I am so impressed! Jenn was very personable and friendly on the phone with me and with my clients, and Kevin was prompt, professional and very through! Even with a few glitches that weren’t really expected (surprise-surprise), Kevin handled them with calm, cool and collected responses. I can’t think of any company I would rather build my business with! Thank you both for making my job much easier!
