I did a search and found several recommendations for Pat Degioia at A-1 Villages Home Inspections. Also a couple good comments for Tom Comer and J.R. Raspel. However all these recommendations were from several months ago or more.

Anyone used their services recently? Were you satisfied with their work? Or anyone have a recommendation who is not mentioned above?

Thanks for your comments!
We rarely use our front door and exit mainly thru the garage. After our year inspection and warranty expiration, I noticed the front door lock mechanism wasn't protruding into the frame (door jam). The dead bolt also had issues. There is 1/8" gap at the top of the door with 3/8" at the bottom. Clearly the door needed to be shimmed.

Upon Pats arrival, he asked if we had anything that needed corrected. I mentioned a few cosmetic items but over looked the door. After seeing him across the street at a neighbors recently, he walked over and agreed that the door needed shimmed of course at my leisure. So you may want to check your door locks to ensure that they work as advertised. The only way we realized that there was a problem was when the door was pushed shut, it didn't always latch. Other than that he seemed to be thorough.
