FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common job is a house that is less than 15 years old and that everyone thinks looks fine, typically, I find hidden problems that the buyer is very happy to find out about. Generally the buyer will then either request the seller do repairs or give some price concession so that the buyer can have the repair work done. Although the newer house is more common, I do plenty of older homes also such as the near 100 year old homes close to the village centers of Southern Pines and Pinehurst.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Evaluate the Inspector, does he have a website that give you real information as to who you are hiring? What is his background, and experience, does he have a record of professional performance throughout his adult life? Or is he just a contractor who can't keep busy at his regular work, and thinks he can pick up some extra money doing a few inspections. The average carpenter/home builder just doesn't know enough about plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and how to see the little clues that an experienced, highly motivated Inspector uses to find hidden problems.
