Service Providers and US government links
This page is intended to be a resource of information, and contractors. I receive no compensation from any contractor listed. This list is here because some clients have asked for these types of resources. These are contractors that I trust enough to put on my web page. I have used a few of these contractors myself, watched presentations from some, or other home inspectors have spoken highly of them. That said, I cannot guarantee you’ll have the same great experience we’ve had. I always recommend getting at least three bids for projects, do your research upfront, ask a lot of questions, ask for guarantees and warrantees, etc. Remember, the cheapest bid is not always the best option. Good Luck!
