Jim has been inspecting homes for me for over 15 years. He is a "man of integrity". There are few men who can meet this level of truth and trust. I recommend him to all, buyer or seller.

Shannon was a thorough and experienced inspector. He was also extremely personable, and went over everything with us in a professional manner. He has been available by phone for our questions, and continues to provide us with valuable insight and knowledge about our reports. Thank you!

Jim -- Thank you for the time, expertise, and opinions you shared with me yesterday while inspecting our future home. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you and I really appreciated your critical eye throughout the inspection process. I reviewed your report and found it to be thorough, on point, and complete. I am certain we received much more value than we paid for. I will gladly recommend your services to anyone who may need them in the future. Thanks again... Chris

Jim is extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and helpful. Jim allowed me to ask questions and gave me thoughtful and useful information. I have had more than five years remodeling experience / cabinet installer and eleven years as a journeyman industrial painter, so I was able to ask specific questions. Outside my area of knowledge or experience, Jim was very generous with his experienced recommendations and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Jim and will do so with any friends or family looking for a qualified, reliable, and trustworthy home inspector. Thanks, Jim!!! KUDOS.

Very thorough, very competent! Jim took the time to answer any and all questions, even general ones not directly related to the inspection itself. We felt like we were on the set of "Holmes on Homes!"

We were very impressed with our inspector. He arrived on time and went straight to work. At the same time, he took time to answer questions and clarify any issues. We especially appreciated his fast summary at the end and the speed with which he returned the report. I have already recommended him to others since the report arrived to my email before I arrived home.

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?
