We recently had Doug inspect a home in Rock Hill, and we can't overstate how pleased we were with our experience.
Making an appointment over the phone was easy, and pricing was clear and accurate. We paid $395 for an inspection, $95 for termite testing, and $175 for radon testing for a total of $665. He was early to the appointment, and ended up spending about 3 hours walking us through the home.
Doug also practiced good COVID safety. We were asked to limit the size of our party to ensure social distancing, and Doug wore a mask throughout the appointment.
During the inspection, Doug showed a keen eye for details; he offered clear and detailed explanations; and he was patient and kind throughout. After identifying potential trouble spots, he always took the time to contextualize those issues and offer insight on potential fixes and costs. But I think characterizing this service as an inspection really sells Doug short. Indeed, by the end of our three hours with him, Doug had given us what amounted to a personalized user's manual of our future home, explaining the anatomy of the house and how things worked. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated that Doug always met us on our level -- graciously answering even our most novice questions with warmth, clarity, and detail.
The written report, along with a pre-closing checklist and other materials, were delivered about two days after the inspection.
We ended the inspection more confident in our understanding of our potential purchase -- and in our ability to repair or manage any future issues. We can't speak highly enough of the quality and value of Doug's work, and he would be our first call for any future inspections. read more
