Q:
|
What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a company like yours?
|
A:
|
Before you hire an inspector, ask a lot of questions. Ask what will be inspected and how long it will take. Make sure inspectors are insured and qualified to do the job.
Make sure there are no hidden fees. Ask if there is a fee for inspecting the attic or crawl space. If you have a pool, ask if there’s a fee for that too. Some inspectors will quote a very low price and up sell during the inspection. Make sure you understand what will be inspected and what is included.
