FROM
THE PRESIDENT:
I
feel DC Home Inspection Services' strong points are with our inspectors and their ability to communicate to the customer what
we found during a home
inspection. Our objective is to accurately explain what was found and what
can be done to correct the situation, not scare the buyers away or
sensationalize a problem to justify our presents. I also feel another strong
point is with our experience derived from our longevity in the business. Drawing off
technical and hands-on experience and the ability to rationalize any condition.
Drawing off past experiences is the key to a great
inspection. This kind of knowledge can not be obtained in a study at home course or from
just 2 years in the business. Your faith in DC Home Inspection Service is backed
by well over 10,000 satisfied customers.
I'd
like to thank you in advance for selecting DC Home Inspection Service and I look
forward to meeting you in person at your home inspection.
Charles
D. Kester
