Ted's Home Inspections are extremely thorough, and of the highest quality. He insists that you, the future home owner, tag along with him for the inspection, and by doing so you get a crash course in everything that's good and bad about your future home. He goes over with you personally the report so that you know and understand what you're getting into. You'll learn about what has to be done immediately, as well as those things that you'll probably have to do in the future. (everything's rated by level of importance in the final report) And, he doesn't just disappear after the inspection, follow-up assistance is amazing. He's really on your side, and that's something that's tough to find when you're buying a home.

Hi David,
I suspect you're completely installed in your new place. I do hope you are attending to some of the deficiencies like the plumbing, that one makes me a bit nervous. This being your 2nd inspection we didn't find a perfect house but we did find a workable house, much like your house back in 2013.
You were keen to accompany me during the inspection, had you not my report would've been a little overwhelming. I don't understand how home inspectors ask the clients to show up for the last hour to do a walk-through. There is no time to explain everything and certainly no time for you to digest information and formulate questions. Real estate agents prefer this final walk-through device because it does not allow you to really see your house, essentially it expedites the sale process. House system failures generally do not happen all at once so people move-in are happy with everything and then believe that when something does go wrong down the road, they believe it wasn't something that a home inspector would be able to detect. A professional and seasoned home inspector can often detect and predict failures. The only way to do this is to have been in the business for at least 5 to 10 yrs and spend the best part of the day or longer inspecting and producing a report.
Happy trails...
