Description of Work: There are basic items that did not get reported. 2 of the 3 toilets are very loose. One of the doors to the outside has gaps and appears to not be framed or shimmed properly. The inspector was kind and professional but I feel that these are standard items that should have been noticed.

Response from First Choice Home Inspection
If your reading this, please do not base your opinion of my company off one "C" rating. I have over 100 "A" ratings and several Pages of Happiness and Super service Awards for consecutive years. I pride myself in doing quality work and keeping clients satisfied. In business it is very difficult to meet every clients needs 100% of the time, but I do my best. If you as my client have any questions or concerns at the time of inspection or after the inspection please feel free to call me. These concerns were not brought to my attention after the inspection. I did notice toilet "seats" were very loose at the time of the inspection. This would be considered a cosmetic defect and typically are not reported during a "structural" inspection. Moisture was not found around the base of the toilets. The framing of the door is not visible after the walls and trim are installed. This is an assumption that has been made based on a small light gap on a door. The home in questions is a remodeled 30-40 year old house. These were not built as air tight as new construction homes. Every house either new or old requires some air exchange to ensure a health living environment. New homes now require whole house fan ventilation systems to pull outside air into the house. Older home do not have these systems since the air exchange would happen naturally through small gaps at doors or windows and through flooring and walls. When the building envelope is change on the house with insulated windows and door and adding additional insulation to attics and crawl spaces the air exchange becomes less. Therefore the small gap at the door was not concerning and will actually be helpful to the living space environment. Thank you for reading. Tyler Mittendorf Owner and Inspector

This guy is an absolute pro. He called to say be might be late for our appointment because of traffic but showed up five minutes early just the same. He used digital voice recording and photos to take notes and pinpoint trouble spots, incorporating the info and photos into the report, which arrived on line the same day and in impeccable printed form two days later. He also lowered the price because the inspection was for my own information rather than for a sale.
Description of Work: Tyler looked over my house from top to bottom so that I would know what problems it might have prior to starting a remodel.

I called to get an estimate for our condominium building inspection. Tyler Mittendorf, owner, was very polite on the phone, and offered to stop by and look at our property. He declined to make a bid because he did not feel qualified to deal with stucco issues, but he emailed me afterwards with information on another inspector who might work out for us. I was really impressed with this guy. Wish we could have done business with him!

Tyler was personable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone (wish we had done this years before for our own edification about maintaining our home).
Description of Work: We called this company to have a pre-inspection for our use in preparation to selling our home. Tyler was easily contacted, scheduled within days and was on time. He was here for about 4 hours, did a thorough inspection, gave use unhurried information and useful advice during inspection, and the next day emailed his report with photographs (paper copy is being sent in the mail). He seemed very thorough and conscientious.
