During the course of the inspection, Mr. Wood brought to my attention issues he thought needed to be addressed. Additionally, I would ask him questions about the house. Mr. Wood was always patient and willing to answer my questions.
At the end of the inspection, he furnished us with a home owner's manual that had a plethora of information concerning all the inner workings of a home (pipes, plumbing, HVAC, roof, etc.) After a few days, we received in the mail a personalized report showing areas of concern and possible ways of addressing these problems.
In closing, I cannot more highly recommend this service. It was wholly worth the money. Everyone I dealt with was a professional. If I have another property inspected, this is the service I will use.
