Home Inspection and Infrared Scan
An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
Tom got back to me promptly when I first contacted him. He allowed me as much time as I needed before to ask questions on what he would do and how he would do it. He arrived on time at the site. He explained in detail what he was going to do on the inspection (he does at least 3 passes through the property). and when it was time called us to join him to go through each item and explain not only what the issue was, but what needed to be done. He not only took regular pictures of everything, but also had an infrared camera that could detect many things including moisture and temperature differences. I also liked the honesty that Tom didn't try to pretend he knew everything about everything...ex-pool related things needed a pool inspector and it wasn't his area of expertise. We had our report in PDF format by the end of day. It had pictures of all the problem areas with arrows pointing to problem areas with explanations on what was wrong and what needed to happen to correct. Also liked that things were prioritized-if something needed immediate addressing then it said so.
On the strength of this report, we were able to go back to owners and have the price reduced by several thousand dollars.
