I do this on a regular basis...Tom is thorough, patient, willing to work around any schedules, speaks plain english for the non technical clients, never causes panic, and always makes people see exactly what needs to be done and approximately what it will cost. Thanks Tom for all you do for me!

Was very pleased with your friendly and professional services during the inspection of this property. Your reporting is very easily read and understandable and the pictures show great detail of the information being reported. Suggestions noted at and for concerns produced by report are additional help provided. Your knowledge of the history of this property and the surrounding area is also a great plus.

Mr Dunnavant was one of the most pleasant and professional people, that my wife and I had delt with in a long time. He took the time to explain things to us and was very helpful. His job is one that saves people like us from making a big mistake sometimes, and we really appreciate him. Thomas Lee

You were WONDERFUL!! I couldn't have asked for a better inspector. You were honest, affordable, prompt, and thorough. You went to bat for me and didn't side with the builders. I can't thank you enough!
- S.B., November 2010
Tom was very personable and answered all my questions. He spent much more time inspecting my future home than Home Inspectors I have hired previously. When he found some issues, he drove back to the house on his own time, to discuss possibilities and solutions with the seller and the real estate broker. Tom was very thorough and did an outstanding job. I will not hesitate to use him again in future purchases.
- J.M., October 2010
Thank you so much for doing our inspection!! You were a joy to talk with, and I will recommend you to anyone that I hear of that is moving.
- E.J., October 2010
Tom was thorough and efficient and very helpful with any questions we had. He was a wealth of knowledge and very professional. His documentation is clear and concise.

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?
