How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Realtor's would complain how the inspectors they referred did not spend the time educating their clients, missed important items, or generally did a shoddy report or did not deliver the reports in a timely fashion. We were amazed by this and promised that our service to their clients would be top shelf. In fact if a client was unhappy we would not accept a fee. Our testimonials on Angie's List, Yelp & Kudzu.com say it all. We care for our clients and give them the attention they require for this most important purchase of their lives...
