Charlie was friendly, professional, precise and extremely informative. The inspection lasted approximately three hours and we felt he provided us a thorough inspection on the home we wish to purchase. He made several useful recommendations on current and future maintenance on this property. He stated he loved the house and that it was built like most homes in the 50's - above code and meant to last.
I would definitely recommend HISM, Inc. to my friends, family, realtor and mortgage professionals.
Sincerely,
Daniel & Christine Trasky

Charles was great. He and his partner were very personable, completely professional and incredibly thorough. The end result was a very detailed description of every room. Colored pictures were included with each description, along with recommendations or necessary fixes. We were completely impressed! Our only suggestion would be to let clients know how long the process actually takes-we were a bit surprised at the 2 1/2 hour time commitment. To be fair, we may have been told this and forgotten. The time spent with these two men is well worth the investment.

Charles Wiersum was a great inspector. He was very friendly and gave us great information on what they were doing to the home to inspect it. He also gave us knowledge on the standards on things that would allow them to be legal in the home with some of the things that needed to be replaced.

Chuck is the most thorough home inspector I have ever met. He came highly recommended by a family that used to him to approve a new home after they lost their home and all possessions to one of the worst black mold cases in U.S. history. They trusted Chuck with the lives of their children and I sooned learned I could too. His inspections last at least 2 hours and he walks you through every step and procedure. The amazing thing about Chuck is that he is so personable. He treats you like he has known you his whole life and has an interesting story for just about everything. While professional, Chuck knows how to make you feel valued and understands the importance of getting the job done right. He is brutally honest about any flaw in the house no matter how small and knows all of the regulations and relays to the potential buyer what will need to be done in the future to maintain the home and provide adequate safety to you and your family.

I am very impressed with Mr. Wiersum's services. He has done multiple home inspections for me. I really appreciate his attention to detail and the thoroughness he provides with every home. He shows me things that I missed when I initially look at the homes and also provides several suggestions regarding things I can do to avoid problems later. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.

Chuck,
You always do a great job. The truth hurts but somebody has got to do it and I do appreciate it. It is so much better to hear it now and solve the problem rather than hearing it later along side a law suit.
You are the best.

We appreciated his thorough inspection and helpful advice.
His verbal and written commments about animal odor were, however, inappropriate and slightly offensive (he was standing 3 feet from the litter when he noticed any odors). Furthermore, as soon as this litter was removed the odor was gone and needed no professional treatment as he suggested in this report.
Overall, we were happy with the inspection.

I recommend Chuck Wiersum for home inspections because he finds things others might miss. This reduces my concern that the buyers will find them later. The buyers appreciate his vast knowledge and his ability to communicate with them.

Gauge Attributes
Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.
- Punctuality and Timely Completion: No one likes to wait or have large windows of time where service providers "might" get to them. No one likes the job to drag out because of the service provider's other projects or if it becomes apparent that the SP did not plan well.
- Workmanship: No one likes shoddy work, shortcuts, or tradesmen who take advantage of the customer's lack of awareness of what is good quality work.
- Responsibility: Many home owners do not wear shoes in their home and service providers should wear covers over their shoes when necessary. SP's should not travel into rooms that are not in the work scope. They should not use the toilet without asking. If the SP soils or breaks something, they should try to replace it.
- Professionalism: A Professional does not try to add unnecessary work to the contract. Nor do they try to make themselves look good by demeaning their competition or by discussing religion or politics. Professionals stand behind their price and make the experience pleasant with the customer.
- Cleans Up Daily: Customers like to know that each day when service providers leave the room, it is in a broom swept condition, meaning nothing laying around loose, dangerous, all cords are rolled up, and trash or debris is contained or removed. SP's should clean up at the end of the job.
- Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
- Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
- Well Organized: Generally speaking, from start to finish, the process went well, any concerns were addressed or corrected, and the repair or project ended well with everyone satisfied.
- Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
- Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
