Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Russ and Andrew Haynes were recommended to me for my home inspection and I'm so glad I requested them for the job. Not only was my inspection set in a timely manner, they did such a thorough job. The report for our inspection was back the same day. I HIGHLY recommend the company for any of your inspection needs.

RIS provided a detailed and thorough inspection of our prospective home. Though they are unable to give quality customer service. Despite multiple attempts to pay for their services through the USPS, Russ claimed not to receive these payments. Additional opportunities were given to come pick up payment when myself or my spouse would be available, Russ failed to come at these specified times. Instead of behaving in a professional manner by calling, Russ came unannounced to our place of business when neither of us were present. In his hotheaded visit demanding payment, he offered several insults

Thorough. Effective. Diligent. That was my experience using Residential Inspection Services to conduct the due diligence on my move to Chattanooga. They were professional, knowledgeable and honest in their assessments. Would use again and would highly recommend for anyone needing an inspection. Outstanding customer service.

Had the pleasure of working with Russ when my husband and I relocated here from New York. He did a thorough inspection with a prompt and professional report of his findings. He was neat & professional and did not waste time getting the task done. We were both comfortable with Russ and would highly recommend his services to anyone!
