Dee, the receptionist was polite over the phone and answered my basic questions. Contacted Dalton due to positive response on Anglie's list. My inspector, Tom Copley, was on time and took the time to explain repairs needed thru the home. Inspection report was received later in the evening. Highly recommend home inspections on new homes.

Greg did the inspection, and I was very impressed with his knowledge, efficiency and ability to relate important info re: property and its condition. I am a formerly licensed inspector, but now an investor so I wanted to make sure a current professional had a look. I hired Dalton because of their reputation for being thorough and I was not disappointed. Greg was knowledgeable on current codes and had words of wisdom for future projects. I plan on using Dalton for all future inspections. Money well spent!

Mr Dalton was precisely on time, very thorough, & offered helpful suggestions on dealing with minor things. He found numerous improperly wired electrical outlets that were overlooked by the previous inspector, the cause of the chimney damper being stuck, a now out-of-code design on the heater unit, & a broken roof turbine. There turned out to be no foundation or roof problems.

VERY THOROUGH. PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, COMPETENT.

I REALLY LIKED THE COMPANY. THE RECEPTIONIST WAS VERY HELPFUL WHEN MAKING THE APPOINTMENT. SHE GAVE ME AN EXACT QUOTE AND TOLD ME WHAT TO EXPECT. OUR INSPECTOR, GREG, WAS ON-TIME AND THOROUGH. AS HE INSPECTED HE GAVE A VERBAL DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HE SAW AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. HE SEEMED KNOWLEDGEABLE REGARDING CURRENT BUILDING CODES. IT TOOK HIM ABOUT 2.5 HOURS FOR A SMALL HOUSE. HE EMAILED US A DETAILED REPORT BY 7AM THE NEXT MORNING. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND VERY NICE. THE PRICE SEEMED REASONABLE.

GARY DALTON WAS PROMPT, AND WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS OF HIS WORK. HE HAS A PORTABLE PRINTER THAT PROVIDED US A REPORT ON THE SPOT. HE TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN HIS FINDINGS AND HOW THINGS WORKED. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS WORK.

THIS IS A FATHER-SON COMPANY WITH THE YOUNGEST HAVING DONE ALMOST 7,000 INSPECTIONS. DAD HAS MANY MORE. PROMPT, EFFICIENT, AND THOROUGH. IS GREAT AT EXPLAINING HOW EVERYTHING WORKS AND HOW IMPORTANT OR UNIMPORTANT A DEFECT REALLY IS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. LOWER FEES FOR SMALLER HOUSES AND IF TERMITE INSPECTION NOT DONE. THIS WAS THE WHOLE PACKAGE. EXTRA PLUS: THE LADY THAT ANSWERS THEIR PHONE IS GREAT AT EXPLAINING ALL, AND EVEN ANSWERS ON WEEKENDS AT HER HOME.

GREG WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND PUNCTUAL. I ARRIVED AT THE HOUSE 10 MINUTES EARLY AND HE WAS ALREADY THERE AND HAD STARTED THE INSPECTION. HE POINTED OUT THINGS ALONG THE WAY THAT HE FELT WERE IMPORTANT, AND GAVE ME A PRINTED REPORT BEFORE WE LEFT THE HOUSE. HE ALSO WENT THROUGH THE REPORT WITH ME PAGE BY PAGE, AND TOLD ME TO CALL HIM IF I THOUGHT OF ANY QUESTIONS LATER.

I DECIDED TO USE DALTON INSPECTION SERVICES, WHO I FOUND ON ANGIE'S LIST, INSTEAD OF THE INSPECTORS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY MY REALTOR. GARY DID A GREAT JOB IN FINDING EXISTING AND POTENTIAL PROBLEMS, AND LISTING THEM IN PRIORITY AND SERIOUSNESS. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT GARY WAS ABLE TO MAKE TIME TO COME OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE AND DO THE INSPECTION. HE DID ANSWER EVERY QUESTION I HAD, HOWEVER I FELT A BIT HURRIED AT THE END. I UNDERSTAND HE HAD ANOTHER JOB TO GET TO, AND SAID TO CALL HIM IF I HAD ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. COMPARED TO OTHER INSPECTIONS, DALTON SERVICES IS SLIGHTLY MORE PRICEY, THOUGH I WAS HAPPY TO PAY A LITTLE MORE KNOWING I WOULD GET A THOROUGH HOME INSPECTION. THERE IS NO DOUBT, GARY DOES NOT CUT CORNERS AND GETS THE JOB DONE.

GARY DALTON WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE HOUSE AND PREPARED A COMPREHENSIVE PRINTED REPORT AFTER HE FINISHED. HE NOTED THE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED RIGHT AWAY, AND THE ONES THAT WERE SMALLER, LESS IMPORTANT REPAIRS THAT COULD WAIT.

GARY DALTON DID THE INSPECTION FOR ME, AND I COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED. HE IS PATIENT, LIKES TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, AND IS CONSCIENTIOUS. I PICKED HIM OFF OF ANGIE'S LIST INSTEAD OF HIRING ONE OF THE INSPECTORS THAT MY REALTOR SUGGESTED THAT I HIRE. I'M MORE COMFORTABLE HIRING SOMEONE OTHER THAN WHO THE REALTORS LIKE BECAUSE I THINK THE INSPECTORS CAN BE INFLUENCED BY THE REALTORS' RECOMMENDATIONS. ALSO, I LIKE THE FACT THAT DALTON IS A MEMBER OF THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WITH A CLEAN RECORD.

DALTON CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS A HOME INSPECTOR AND PRICE WAS NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE NO BASIS FOR COMPARISON BUT BASED ON THE 3 1/2 HOURS HE SPENT GOING OVER OUR HOUSE WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB AND SHOWING US COMPUTERIZED PICTURES RIGHT AT THE INSPECTION SITE WE FEEL THAT THE PRICE WAS WELL JUSTIFIED.

GREG WAS VERY THOROUGH WITH THE INSPECTION AND DETAILING THE REPORT.
