(no written report)  


Calculator and Checkbook

Do not worry about filling in a request - all pricing questions will be answered before we visit. We need it filled in just to verify payment before the trip to your property.    

At the location, we will inspect with the thought of later doing a report only if you are convinced it is what you want: $300 hardwood/ceramic, $250 carpet/laminate (paid at the time of inspection). Also includes driving time, and expenses within route area. Click here for route area. This is applied to the total if a written report is provided.

In other words, if you want to first consult to see if a certified report will help you, we will meet with you and discuss your problem (for our consulting price).Then if you decide the report will help you, the report will be sent within 5 days, after the $150 hardwood/ceramic $100 carpet/laminate balance is paid within 30 days. Remember HONEST reports do not always help everybody. After 30 days if no report was made all records are then destroyed. This protects us both in case of a later disagreement-and since there was no report-memories tend to fade.      

At my location or cell phone consultation $1.40 a minute
