Alvin provided a very detailed report with helpful pictures to provide a good overview of the house. Since I couldn't attend the inspection, he worked closely with my realtor, Michelle Runciman, in determining the high priority items and those that could easily be handled after I took over ownership. Because of the qualify of his work and the teamwork with my realtor, the seller agreed to complete all the work requested to be done prior to closing. Awesome job!

He has done a house that we are selling and now a house that we are buying. We couldn't be happier in both instances. He is very thorough and specific. His reports were always very clear and returned to us quick. We will for sure suggest him to any friends and family that are needing this service! Thanks again Mr. Miller! Tanya Gaudet

Alvin was very knowledgable and detailed in his inspection. I felt confident in what he found to be issues where communicated effectively and that he knew what he was talking about. I also felt confident in his experience as a custom home builder as well as his years of experience in inspecting homes. He was very pleasant to deal with.

Alvin Miller did a great job! He kept us up to date with email messages and a phone call the night before the inspection. He performed a meticulous inspection/walk through and emailed the documents the very same day. Highly recommended. Thank You!

Thank you Alvin for your thorough inspection of our potential property. I feel you did a good job and you care about your work. You showed me a lot of things that I didn't see when I looked at the property as a potential buyer. Once the work is finished repairing those problem areas, I feel we'll have a much safer home.

Hi Alvin, I just want to say that you are the best inspector I have ever come across. Restoring old homes to their former glory is my passion. Thank you for being there for me. I will never forget you and if you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to call me. I will do anything in my power to help you in anyway. I consider you a blessing from GOD. Coming from me, that is saying a lot. You are a treasure! :-) We will be keeping in touch with you and giving you more business. We will even pay you for building advice if that is ok with you. We trust your opinion whole heartedly. You are a true professional. We truly appreciate you. We will be contacting you again soon. You are the genuine article. Sincerely, Joyce Leon

Everything was very through and clearly explained. I would hire this man to do the repairs or give directions to a contractor beginning the suggested repairs. I would have also liked an evaluation of the humidifier and the water softener. Thank you for your fine work. Myron Welch

Gauge Attributes

Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
  7. Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
  8. 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.
  9. Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
  10. Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
