Description of Work: Jon did a very thorough home inspection. You should bring something to write notes. He showed me shut off valves and made suggestions, not in the report, for us to do after we move into the home. Wear comfortable shoes for the over 3 hour time you will follow him around. I followed him to every room in the home and watched as he climbed up on the roof and climbed up into the attic.
