Thanks to Tim Gill, I became aware of great deficiencies inside a house I made an accepted offer to buy. I reread his very detailed inspection report several times and learned that my investment into this house would be an expensive proposition to repair or replace required items in the immediate future, including electrical. It would have cost me thousands of dollars. He is very detailed and professional. I definitely will use him again.

Tim was very responsive, even after I telephoned him on a Saturday Night. Tim's home inspection was very thorough and he took the time to explain his findings and answer our questions. We are new to Long Island, and New York, and Tim walked us through the nuances of the inspection process. Tim's report was well-written in language a layperson can understand. Tim has also let us know he is available for follow-up questions. I would use Tim again and will recommend him to others.

- R.P., April 2017
Tim did an amazingly thorough job checking out our potential new home. So many items I would never have even thought to check and documented everything. The report was created and presented in such a professional manner. Tim even spent the time to make recommendations on improving items in the house that were not issues but would make the house more efficient or useable. I only wish all other contractors could be as capable and easy to work with. I will recommend Tim to anyone who needs an inspector.
- P.G., March 2017
