  • Always close the windows before you leave.

  • Always aim to take CLOSE UP photos! I honestly can not stress this enough!!!

  • Take photos of things your turned on / off (proof!)

  • Verify with a moisture metre after thermal anomaly.

  • Always review reports before sending. (measure twice cut once)

  • You should CC yourself on everything. For back up! OR DOWNLOAD AS PDF!

  • Photograph things that ARE working properly! Reduce the blame game!

  • Always Get your contract signed before hand. 

  • Take Inventory. Even if not inspecting. Why? blame game & calls

  • ALWAYS clean up after yourself. Especially attics. or after taking a piss. serious. It's rude and gross.

  • Always take photos of personal belonging blocking inspection.

  • Be careful WHO you ask to leave a review!

  • Always engage, educate & ask if your clients have questions

  • Always treat every inspection like a first date. BE memorable!

  • Always ask people what they do! Know who you’re dealing with.

  • SET the expectations at the very beginning.

  • Always keep a few towels for accidents.

  • Always be very thankful. It goes a long way. Be genuine!

  • Agent wants to follow you around?… let them! Make a friend. Play nice with others & maybe you'll get a second play

Don’t

  • .Never walk away when water is running.

  • NEVER be adamant that “for sure” this is how it happened.

  • NEVER put your tools on the counter. Get a leather mat.

  • Never say “sorry” until you’re SURE. Thank me later.

  • Slippers NOT runners. Imprints bug sellers. Not worth it. People suck.

  • No coffee or food. We’ve seen too many stained carpets & accidents.

  • Never ever let the client on the ladder or fuck around with your tools.

  • STAP making mountains out of mole hills. Everything isn’t a big deal. Unless you're an alarmist. Then you do you.

  • STAP talking bad about others. It makes YOU look bad. (FACT) Also, that makes you a huge DICK!

  • STAP creating problems to show your value… "Cry Wolf"

  • Are you SWAT? Are you framing? STAP wearing tool belts & weird shit.

  • STAP jumping over dollars to pick up a dime. It’s all a wash. Do the work, money will come.

  • STAP being motivated ONLY by money. It comes in BUCKETS when you build something great!
