Description of Work: Gerald came by to do an inspection on a 100+ year old home we were buying. He was on time, professional, and extremely detailed in his inspection and report. He took the time to explain his findings with me and the potential implications of each one. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable, personable, and strongly advocates for his clients. He spent a significant amount of time in the crawl space below the house and the attic as well. He was also able to prepare his report in a short time frame (24 hours) from time of inspection and provided detailed pictures to accompany all of his findings. Would definitely use again.

Description of Work: I called for advice on an unusual issue with a possible issue with prior inspections by the county building inspector. He came out promptly, gave me his opinion/advice on the issue(s), but as there was no inspection needed by him per se, he opted not to charge me anything for the advice.

Description of Work: Gerald showed up ahead of schedule. As a matter of fact, he was already in the process of doing his evaluation when I arrived on sight. He was very thorough in the inspection process. He took a lot of pictures and provided highly detailed documentation in his report. He uncovered so many little problems and a couple of major ones which allowed me to go back and renegotiate the purchase price of my new home. | |Not only that, he was kind and compassionate. I recently lost my husband and I had a sad moment. He gave me hug and words of encouragement. Sometimes it's nice to know that someone cares how your day is going, even if it is stranger that you've never met before. | |I would encourage anyone who is considering having a home inspection done to call Scottland Yard. You will be happy and confident that you know what you're getting in to with your new home purchase.
