The 25 page report was thorough and well documented for all the minor issues noted. As with most inspectors they just about always defer to a licensed contractor for any formal follow-up (perhaps for legal reasons). The digital pictures were clear though, not in high resolution. There were tables and pictures throughout the report, but they did not contain references to narratives for clear linkage ergo Table 1, Picture 1, and et-cetera. The Adobe file itself was completely locked up so that we could not even use the yellow highlighter tool in Adobe to communicate issues discovered in the report without completely retyping them in our communication back and forth between sellers agent, our agent, insurance representatives and others. This alone makes the report's value quite diminished in my opinion. Within Adobe it is easy to lock down content without taking away the customer's ability to use the document to the efficiency allowed by the parent software product Adobe. The final report did not contain a validation of the square footage of the home. The listing agent noted it to be just over 3,000 sq/ft, but the size provided by the licensed appraiser indicated 2,775 sq/ft with a full basement. Two rooms within the basement were finished, but the HVAC system as noted in Mr. Brooks report was not yet fully installed to make the space fully functional as a living space. The number of details especially specific to component installations, anomalies in construction workmanship were exceptional. I cannot overstate how well this duo scrubbed this property for proper construction workmanship. To this extent we were obviously very satisfied. As a graduate from Auburn's School of Architecture some 30 years ago I can state that my expectations were somewhat ambiguous for this type of home inspection, but with the exception of how the final report was locked this was a very positive experience. As a professional, your final product represents you. If this product is useful and easy to use then, you will recommend the company to others. As stated before, if this final report were saved in a security format such that the final user/customer could copy limited sections and highlight sections for communication purposes then, it would make it much more valuable. As a professional who uses thermography, I find that most of the FLIR Inframation conference attendees each year are increasingly home inspectors and commercial building inspectors. I am a bit surprised that most home inspectors locally in Huntsville still do not use IR thermography in their home inspections for determining workmanship and coverage of insulation within the homes they inspect. In summary, we were pleased with Mr. Brooks and his son's inspection of this subject property. They definitely earned their money with the thoroughness of this report. The deficiencies were well documented and his report format was easy enough to understand as we read through it. The issues specific to the report's security locks were my only areas noted whereby Mr. Brooks could easily improve his customer satisfaction at least with folks like myself.

FAQs for security door installation projects in Hartselle, AL
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
