Scheduling with Clair was incredibly fast--it only took about 2 minutes to set up a general inspection. Julia, my inspector, was fantastic. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very patient with all my questions. After a thorough walkthrough of both the inside and outside of my home, she explained that the foundation itself is fine--the cracks were just poorly mixed surface cement that needs repatching. She even caught two other issues during the walkthrough that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I really appreciate the honesty and the extra effort. Great experience!

Afterwards, the next day, the owner calls me and it says that his inspector is certified engineer for 10 years with the company and that I got what I asked for and I did not want a visual report at all. I already knew what was wrong with my Home. I told him I was looking for a solution to my problem and my safety concerns addressed. But instead, I was giving a visual report telling me everything. I told him when I talk to them on the phone. Why would I pay you $695 and tell me something I already knew don't make no sense. And then the owner asked me what exactly I wanted from them and I told him I needed of my main concern my wall. He said he would add the report.

We've built mountain rustic to mountain contemporary homes designed and engineered by them, so they cover all the architecture styles you can find in Tahoe-Truckee. We've recently built two spec homes (getting ready for our third) with Dennis' team and they really do help you as the owner/builder get everything done, especially with the pre-permiting and design approval process, as nothing can be more frustrating then getting "worked" in a design review committee meeting. They also get everything ready for the building department application process. We plan to continue to use DD&A for future projects. Steeleconstructiontahoe.com
