Mr. Carlisle was professional and yet very personable. He pointed out what was good about the house and what needed attention. He wrote a detailed report that we could use to determine what needed to be repaired prior to our buying the house. He cautioned us in the report to "budget for a new roof" and "budget for a heating system"as both of these were quite old. In fact, the roof had leaks that needed immediate attention. The report was given us in a typed form and within a day or two. Unfortunately there were some expensive items that needed repair and the seller refused to take off sufficient money from the sales price for us to address the repairs so we backed out of the sale. Even though we paid for an inspection on a house we did not buy, it was money well spent because it prevented us from buying a house that would have immediately needed some expensive work that was really the seller's responsibility. Next time we find a house we are serious about, we will call on Mr. Carlisle again.
Description of Work: We had agreed to buy a house and needed someone to inspect all aspects of it to determine what might need to be repaired prior to purchase. Mr. Carlisle was one of several recommended by our realtor. He spent 2 1/2 hours looking the house over carefully from top to bottom. We had a separate roof inspection done but he also looked at the roof, the attic, the heating and AC systems, the electrical and plumbing. He even checked the doorbells! He made sure the gas fireplace worked and tried all the appliances. He then wrote a very detailed report.
