The inspection went great. Lothar and John showed up exactly on schedule, preformed the house inspection, took some time to educate me on the house systems, provided recommendations on any needed repairs and then printed out the report on-site. Overall, it was a very good experience and I would recommend them to others. **UPDATE** This is a follow-up report. Two days after closing on the house two problems were discovered that should have been found during the house inspection but were not and that will cost me a significant amount of money to repair. 1. The kitchen cabinets are Thermofoil. They are a covered cabinet that looks good until the glue starts to deteriorate between the cabinet wood and the vinyl covering and the vinyl starts to lift off the wood - from what I could find on the internet, this is caused by poor manufacturing processes. After the house inspection, I found 9 doors that should have been discovered by someone doing the inspection of the kitchen. Had I known about the problem, I likely would not have bought the house. 2. I had a vent/duct cleaning accomplished and the technician said he saw where three vents from the bathrooms were "sort-of" duct taped together but essentially were venting into the attic. It will take a heating and refrigeration guy to fix the problem. I guess I should have followed the inspectors around more than I did to make sure they looked at everything. Just as bad is I don't know what else may be wrong that they did not inspect.

Two inspectors conducted the inspection. So while one was checking out the house the other was entering info on the computer. Their report was "canned" and slightly confusing due to all the colorful print and highlights. However, the report (a 3 ring binder) included other information regarding home construction maintenance and trouble shooting. Over all it was a worth while endeavor.

Punctual, professional, knowledgeable, excellent. We communicated via e-mail then telephone and finally in person. 3 hours of non-stop inspection - and we were very impressed with his know-how and professionalism.
