Tim was wonderful! We were a group of 6 people, each with our own set of questions and knowledge base. He was quite patient and clearly explained what he was doing, the significance of problems he found, and the operation of the various mechanical and electrical items. I don't think we could have had a better person perform the inspection!

I'm not sure I can come up with a suggestion. I thought your were very thorough with the inspection and spend most of the time on those items that could possibly create the biggest problem for a home owener. Good Inspection.

My husband and I were very impressed by Tim's professionalism among many other things. The report details in written as well as photos was way beyond what we were expecting. He is a great teacher and mentor to his apprentice as well as us as home owners. We enjoyed working with Tim and would use his services again and definatley refer him to other people. Thank you!

This is my first home and first home inspection. Tim did a great job. Extremely thorough.
Tim also explained how a heat pump works. This is the first time anyone has explained it that I actually understood.
Thanks Tim!

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?
