Bob did a great job! He arrived on time, looking very professional, and was very patient and helpful with all of our questions. He was highly communicative via email, which made life easier for me so I could contact him on my schedule. His report was so thorough! We included the photos and his descriptions in a request for repair assistance to the home sellers, and they agreed to help us out--I really think all those photos were crucial in illustrating to the sellers what needed to be done. I am also really glad we ordered the extra asbestos test after Bob spotted some suspicous-looking insulation--it came back postive and we are going to get it professionally removed. That gives me peace of mind. Bob, we would recommend you again and again! Thanks!

Bob,
I can't thank you enough for doing such a thorough inspection. I read over the report and have to say the level of detail along with the pictures is outstanding. I did a lot of research online before choosing an inspector and I couldn't be happier that I chose you to do the job. I learned a great deal about the house and your report will be used to negotiate with the seller. It was a pleasure meeting you. I will most definitely be recommending your services.
Best Regards,
Nicole

Bob did a fine job inspecting my condo. He was attentive to detail and thorough in answering my questions, and the resulting report was clear and well-organized. I also had Bob do a mold test on the property, and he proved to be efficient and knowledgeable in carrying out that task too. Highly recommended. Larry

I was immediately impressed with Bobā??s quick turn around time to return calls and/or e.mail.
The day of the inspection he was right on time, very knowledgeable, and professional. I really appreciated that he was easy to talk to and didnā??t mind if I asked questions as well as getting in his way to look at whatever he was looking at.
He was able to answer my questions to my complete satisfaction and great at explaining all that he was doing, testing, and looking at.
I would give him two thumbs up, 5 stars, and recommend him to anyone!
Thanks Bob!

He did a very good, thorough job and asked me if I had questions. He answered my questions and explained some things to me that helped me in making my decision on the property. The inspection report I received is very detailed, with many photos of the property and the areas inspected as well as all the thermal imaging pictures. It's very helpful to see the photos when going over the report.

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?
