Ray is professional, knowledgeable, and will explain everything to you! I would fully recommend him and will use him again whenever I purchase a house!

Reliable, thorough, knowledgeable
Ray Thoroman has inspected several Big Canoe (in Dawson and Pickens Counties) homes for us over the years, and we can’t imagine using anyone else.
Ray is exceptionally knowledgeable, and he provides an incredibly comprehensive report covering all aspects of the home, including attics, crawlspaces, basements, and everything in between. Every noted item is accompanied by clear photos that ensure that everyone involved can easily grasp the findings. He also helpfully identifies shutoffs for gas and water, and he can run additional tests for things such as radon.
The home purchasing process can be concerning because you want to be sure you know precisely what you’re getting. Ray thoroughly educates us on the true condition of every aspect of the home so we can make informed decisions. And if we have questions after the inspection, Ray is always available to provide all of the information we need to proceed.
There are no home inspectors out there as professional, competent, or thorough as Ray Thoroman.
Pam, I am truly honored with your continued loyalty over all years! I hope the new home serves your family well and offer best wishes!

Ray Thoroman has inspected several Big Canoe, Forsyth County, and Atlanta areas homes for us over the years, and we would never use anyone else. Ray is incredibly knowledgeable, and he provides a valuable, comprehensive report covering all aspects of the home. We are always impressed with how thorough Ray's report is, even when complicated crawlspaces or difficult-to-access spaces are involved.
Every item noted in his report is accompanied by clear photos so that everyone involved in the purchase can easily understand the findings. He also helpfully identifies shutoffs for gas and water that we can refer to after our purchase and know exactly where these important features are.
Because we want to be sure we know precisely what we're getting when we purchase a home, we want an inspector who has the experience, expertise, and work ethic that will thoroughly educate us on the true condition of every aspect of the home so we can make informed decisions. Ray does just that.
We have been asked for Ray's contact information by people that have sold us homes because he so thoroughly inspected the home they were selling that they want to use him for their next purchase.
And if we have questions after the inspection, Ray is always available to provide any clarification we may need to proceed. If you're looking for the best home inspector in the North Georgia area, Ray Thoroman really is the best.
Ray Thoroman at Superior Home Inspections has provided multiple home inspections for me over the past 8 years and each time, Ray has been on time and has been extremely professional in his approach to the inspection. The inspection process is seamless and is completed in a timely manner. The final report was issued the same day, which is imperative during the due diligence period of purchasing a home. The content of the report focused on the items that are critical in making a purchasing decision, such as the mechanicals like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural, moisture damage, potential mold/mildew issues and other critical functions of the house.
In short, if you want to have a home inspection completed that provides the necessary data for a potential homeowner to make an informed decision, then Superior Home Inspections is the go-to provider of those services and I highly recommend them!
Thank you, Bob! I appreciate your contiuned trust!

Ray has inspected two homes for us. His unbiassed, fact based, supported with photos and measurements or instrument readings reports could have saved us 10’s of thousands of $’s. We are buying a used home yes, but it is not our intent to buy you out of neglectful maintenance and known problems that you are hoping aren’t identified. Thank you Ray for your thorough and professional work.
Jeff, you are very welcome, and thank you for the review! I hope you and your family enjoy the 4th of July holiday!

Need an inspector? Do NOT shortchange the investment you make by using a "cheap" inspector. Superior is exactly that--superior in every way. Ray did two inspections for me and I cannot recommend him enough. Always punctual, communicative, and is an absolute genius at what he does. The documentation is always thorough so when buying property you can show the "goods" with both words and pictures that are specific. There is no hedging around items, good or bad. Ray's honesty and thoroughness make him exceptional and spending what property costs these days, you can't afford NOT to hire him.
Julia, I appreciate your encouraging words and the 5-star review! I hope you have now found your perfect home here in Gainesville!

Ray was a terrific partner inspecting properties for us. He has inspected for us TWICE (he did an outstanding job the first time) and is a consummate professional. The man is a master at everything, documents exceptionally well, and, perhaps the most important, has zero bias to anything but the factual truth. His inspections are worth their weight in gold.
Kathy, I truly appreciate your repeat business and kind words. It was my pleasure helping you again. Thanks for trusting me with your inspections!

Excellent service and very detailed. Saved me from buying the wrong house and helped find issues on the right house. Would recommend to anyone buying in the area.
Andrew, I'm very happy that I was able to help you in finding the right house for you and your family!

I had an exceptional experience with Ray at Superior Home Inspections, and I truly can’t recommend him enough. From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind and approachable, which immediately put me at ease during what can be a stressful process.
His knowledge was absolutely impressive—he took the time to walk me through every detail of the inspection, explaining things in a way that was clear, thorough, and easy to understand. No question ever felt too small, and he made sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way.
What stood out most was his dependability and integrity. He was punctual, responsive, and clearly committed to doing a meticulous job. It was obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients and wants to make sure you’re making a safe, informed decision.
If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and trustworthy, Ray is the human you want on your side. I am so grateful for his guidance and would absolutely work with him again.
Erin, I know the first home you looked at had numerous significant issues uncovered during the home inspection and too many to overcome. I'm very happy you found a great home on the second try in beautiful Dahlonega. I hope and know it will serve you well!

Ray did an outstanding job. He was extremely professional, thorough, and clearly very dedicated to his work. The level of detail in his inspection gave me a lot of confidence, and he took the time to make sure everything was properly checked and explained.
You can tell he truly cares about the quality of his work and his clients. I highly recommend Ray to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented professional.
Thaido, I truly appreciate you trusting us with providing you with our Home Inspection service for the investment property you were looking to purchase here in Atlanta, Georgia! I hope we can be of further service in the near future!

Ray was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and a true expert in his field. He guided me through all the important considerations and even delved into the historical significance of some of the issues uncovered during the home inspection. I highly recommend Ray and his team for any home inspection needs you may have. His report is thorough, and he is meticulous in his work.
Thank you,
Luis, thank you for your confidence and trust! I hope your new home in Woodstock serves you well for many years to come!

This is the second time I’ve worked with Brian. He’s very professional. His knowledge is enormous. And he carries himself very professionally and is very honest. If you’re looking for a good residential or commercial inspector, Brian would definitely be a good choice.
“Excelente servicio y profesionalismo. Siempre ] realiza, inspección minuciosas, explicando cada detalle con claridad y paciencia. Sus informes son detallados y fácil de entender, ¡Muy recomendado!”
I want to thank the team at Superior Home Inspections for tearing apart my hopes and dreams. 😂
But seriously, buyers need home inspectors that are independent, unbiased, and informative. Purchasing a home for the first time will typically be the biggest financial move undertaken by the average, working class person or family. You NEED an inspector who will tell you the truth, even if it hurts to hear.
Brian came out to do my inspection. He was thorough, meticulous, kind and found a plethora of issues that previous inspectors overlooked. This house I was interested in was the perfect size, in the perfect location, at the perfect price point for the area and looked beautiful aesthetically. Brian tore it limb from limb and showed me that it was all a facade. He exposed shoddy workmanship. He saved me from a world of financial ruin. A thorough, 78 page report with photos was forwarded to me in less than 24 hours of the completed inspection.
If you’re considering this team, just do it! I will use them for ALL of my home inspections moving forward! They’re guardian angels for the first time home buyer. Thank you all so much.
I am delighted to give a five-star review to Brian who recently helped me. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable, providing me with all the information I needed in a clear and concise manner. I appreciated his friendly and approachable demeanor, which made the whole experience much more pleasant. Overall, I was very impressed with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy inspector. Thanks again for all your help!
