Walt,
Thank you for doing the home inspection for me. I was very impressed with your knowledge and insight. Thanks to you, I am more comfortable with purchasing the house and know some of the things I should keep my eye on.

Walt Fish completed a very thorough inspection of the home we plan to purchase. The report was very helpful in deciding to purchase the home, and we will use it as we decide what repairs need to be completed. He showed up as scheduled, and we received the report the same evening. He was very professional and helpful as he walked through the inspection with my husband. He continues to patiently answer questions after the inspection also. I would highly recommend him for an inspection.

Thank you very, very much for the thorough and professional inspection. Nicely organized. If I had to do it all over again, I would have the inspection before I made my offer on the house. Worth every cent, and the knowledge gained is power.

Mr. Fish was wonderful. He gave us excellent advice and was extremely thorough. He even gave us information on what things needed the most attention, in what order to have them repaired, and how to repair them ourselves or whether to have a professional do it. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

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?
