Paul J. Brunetti Sr.
Griggs & Browne Home Inspection Services, Inc. has been performing home and related inspections throughout RI, MA, & CT for well over 25 years. Our parent company, Griggs & Browne Termite and Pest Control Co., Inc. has been servicing the tri-state area since 1910!
Our home inspectors are licensed in MA & CT. At present, the RI home inspector licensing law is not implemented. This means anyone can legally perform home inspections without a license in RI! The law was passed in 2000 but was never funded. Griggs & Browne has been the leader in the fight to help get this program up and running. The citizens of RI deserve it!
In the meantime when interviewing RI home inspectors, ask questions like;
- How many home inspections have you performed?
- How long have you been in business?
- Do you carry errors & omissions insurance?
- Do you perform continuing education?
- Are you licensed in any state?
Please go to www.griggsbrowne.com for more information, company coupons and special offers.

paul has done many inspections for me and has always been very thorough and efficient. As have other clients, this particular client specifically commented to me about how comprehensive he was and how he is able to explain the findings and results of the inspection to buyers who may not be well versed in real estate or construction.

Paul,
No doubt that you are the best in your field. You are extremely thorough, with a wide range of knowledge, but most importantly you have the "bedside manner" which is most appreciated by realtors. Your skills and competence also put both Buyers and Sellers at ease during a somewhat tense period for both parties.
It is pretty difficult to perform your duties when you have buyers breathing down your neck, following you around, and asking a million questions, yet you seamlessly integrate all of it effortlessly.
Kudos to you!

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?
