I would avoid any that are suggested by a real estate agent. (The old Buddy System exists to some degree here too!) -- My last inspection report overlooked some flaws and "nit-picked" a couple of others that were non-existent. He supplied photos of "hair-line,1 inch long, cracks " in the caulking on a couple of windows on a different color exterior wall than the house. Perhaps saved time by using a file photo? Inspector also stated they do not go on roofs, which I find surprising considering the importance of a roof. Just another case of needing to be very careful when selecting providers of any service. Next time I will call "Crimes against Seniors" to see what they have on file for house inspectors. That is a good resource and at least indicative of problematic vendors of services here. The organization is very helpful.
