Are you buying or selling your home?
Choosing the right inspector could mean the difference between finding hundreds or thousands of dollars in problems -- or not finding them at all. What should you look for? What types of skills or credentials are required? The inspector's skill and credentials are extremely important. A knowledgeable contractor with years of experience does not mean that he will be thorough in all areas of the home. The training or experience of an inspector is very important, but it still does NOT guarantee a thorough inspection. The inspector's ability to find defects is the most important criteria. No matter the experience or the training, the inspector must be able to find the defects. I suggest to you that the best way to determine the right inspector is by trust. Trust me to represent you with sincere integrity and diligence and I will be the right choice. How do you know that I am the right choice? Because, I will trust you first with this pledge: After the inspection, if you feel that I did not do my best to find and report all that I could on the condition of the home, I will refund your fee to me if you ask. Let me give you assurance that you'll be glad you found me. Call me now; let me inspect this home or building for you. I will get you scheduled in right away.

Steve did a great job and went out of his way to not only inspect the property but show me where things are located for maintenance in the future - how to shut off water to a sink, how the doors lock, how to change a filter - all things I needed to know. I would recommend him to anyone!

4 years ago, I started using Steve Johnson as a home inspector referral. Since then, I have referred no one else. I know that with Steve as my client's inspector, they can be confident in the home they are buying. And as an agent it gives me peace of mind knowing that my clients are in the hands of a knowledgeable, and just as importantly, personable home inspector.

Steve was very thorough. He paid extreme attention to detail throughout his inspection. He went above and beyond just telling me what was good or bad about the house but made general recommendations as to what professionals I might seek out to address some of the concerns. I was very impressed by the report. It was detailed but very easy to understand. I would highly recommend Steve.

Gauge Attributes

Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
  7. Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
  8. 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.
  9. Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
  10. Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
