Pre-purchase Home Inspection

I was recommended to Ted by a friend who had his 50 year old home inspected earlier in the year. Ted came highly recommended and during the inspection of our potential new home, he lived up to his reputation. Although it was a brand new home, not only did Ted point out cosmetic deficiencies, he identified mechanical and structural issues that needed to be addressed. Throughout the inspection, Ted made sure to highlight the important maintenance tasks to address throughout the ownership of our home. He turned around a full 60+ page report the day after the inspection and met with us for a comprehensive review of the home. Overall, Ted was very knowledgeable, meticulous, and diligent looking out for our investment and we'd be happy to recommend his services to other potential home buyers.

Approximate cost of services:
$950.00

Company Response

Hi,
Since you didn’t leave your name I can't very well comment on your testimonial other than to say thank you.
Client referrals are the backbone of my business, how are homebuyers to know who to hire when most home inspection companies will not post a sample report and fee schedule, you end up relying on the businesses self-promotion and their client testimonials. Since people don't buy houses that often they are not in a very good position to form critical opinions about the service they receive.
You probably looked your friends report over thoroughly to make your decision. I would say most homebuyers wouldn't know what a thorough inspection looks like and are completely satisfied with a 3 to 4 hour inspection turnaround. As you know I spend most of the day investigating and collecting information and spending the entire next day composing your custom report which we sit down and review. The report is not a checklist, boilerplate or computer generated- it's a photo detailed original account of deficiencies prioritized with action suggestions.
Thanks again and happy trails...
Ted Gilmour
