We had a great experience with Tom. He was very responsive and arranged the inspection in such short notice. The inspection report was very detailed and easy to understand. Thank you, Tom!
Tom is a great inspector to work with. He has inspected several homes for my buyers in the past couple of months and he is detailed, knowledgeable, and most importantly, not an alarmist.
