Spoke with Maria when calling to book the appointment - she was very courteous and helpful and returned calls promptly. Jim Lilly showed up on time as scheduled and spent about 3 hours inspecting the home we plan to purchase. We let him do his thing without interruption and saved questions until the end. He had a pest inspector join him halfway through to cover termites and ants. At the end he sat down with us and went through the questions I had, however, I did feel a bit rushed at this point. He answered questions and told me the report would be along shortly. The report was received the same evening - and a separate pest report was received the same evening as well. Both reports covered all facets of their inspections. I only wish that the report was written with more layman-friendly language - but that may be standard practice. I think Jim did a thorough job and I would use him again.
