"This is a must for anyone thinking to purchase a home... Tim's services go behind the facade and ferrets out all the pluses and minuses for the structure. Even if you don't use his inspection report to negotiate with, it gives you a realistic, honest and thorough picture of what you are buying and what additional projects you'll be looking at in the future--whether it's a dripping faucet, faulty wiring or carpenter ants. Thanks to his thoroughness, I didn't make a huge mistake. Use Tim to look behind those few coats of new paint. We WILL be using him again in the near future."
--Todd & Susan Ekstrom
