We have used Steve on all three homes we purchased in the Raleigh area. All three homes were in different areas, different sizes, different construction and from different eras. Steve was thorough and professional. I would recommend anyone buying a house in Raleigh to use Steve. Steve provides peace of mind.

Steve's work is awesome. Steve made the whole inspection process stress free and took away all of my worries. The resulting reports are easy to comprehend and comprehensive. I've not been able to participate in this process since I live on the west coast and Steve has made the whole inspection process a non-worry event! Thank you Steve, I would certainly recommend your work to all potential buyers.

Steve arrived right on time. He explained what he was checking along the way, gave a brief report of what he found, and made manageable suggestions for change or repair. The inspection was thorough and fair and Steve is very pleasant and professional.

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?
