DOUG PALMER HOME INSPECTION

Inspector (Zach) was on time and completed the job. He asked that the buyer not be present until the end of the inspection so that he wouldn't be distracted, which I understand. However, when the buyer did arrive, Zach did not take much time to walk the buyer through the components of the inspection and was not very open to answering questions. The report was not delivered (digitally) for over 24 hours, which is a tad long during a real estate transaction. It would be more helpful if in the future, the inspector could provide a digital or hard copy version of the inspection report (or at least the highlights) on site and take a few minutes to walk the buyer through at least the major components of the inspection. The report was fairly thorough (although the codes used are a bit confusing and required me to check back to the code key repeatedly) and professional. Inspector should consider purchasing a portable printer to be able to hand the client a one-page overview of highlights at the end of the inspection and take a few more minutes to answer questions so that the client may make notes while on site. With the above in consideration, I do live in an extremely small town and I am grateful that this inspector was willing to travel to accommodate my client. The travel fee was $50 (included in the $575 noted below).

I needed a home inspection of my rental property.  He is professional and courteous.  Doug did an extremely thorough job.  His report was lengthy and detailed but easy to understand.  I would highly recommend his services.
