The inspections I perform last anywhere from 3 to 5 hours with the average being 3. I strongly encourage my clients to be present during the inspection even if it is only for the last hour. This gives me an opportunity to answer any questions about the scope of the inspection and the property being inspected. I pride myself with a strong work ethic and will take the necessary steps to perform an inspection as thorough as possible. This sometimes means getting into an attic or crawl space that may not be easily accessible, and yes getting dirty. In the end you will benefit from the amount of pride I take in my work.
