What 3-D's clients are saying:

“Hi Mike, thank you for your follow-up. I completed the survey shortly after your inspection.
Thank you again for your promptness in getting this done in just a couple hours, for being so thorough and complete with your explanation. All the information you provided was a tremendous help and allowed me to go to the seller to get all the work completed. This was an “as is” deal but based on your inspection report sellers did the work that you clearly noted in your report was necessary maintenance. I will definitely share your name with anyone I know buying a house. Take care and God bless.”

Teri McGough

“We really appreciate your services, especially meeting us last minute and completing the report in such a quick manner. Dan was right, He said you were the best! I will open this once I get to work today and let you know if we have any questions. Thanks again for your prompt service … we will definitely recommend you!”

“Wow, Mike, this is a very impressive report. THANK YOU for getting both the home inspection and report done so quickly.”

Deb Schiller

“What a thorough and detailed report you put together. Both my husband and I were very impressed. Thank you. I would highly recommend you to anyone. Please use us as a reference in the future if needed. Thanks again.”

Montean LaPorte

“Thank you very much for your great job. Your report is informative and educational. It covers all the details of the maintenance, corrective actions and safety hazards. I will give my friends a referral to you in case they need the home inspection service.”

Lee Wang

“Chris and I are very appreciative with your level of efficiency and professionalism. It meant a lot to us that you recognized our disappointment when we discovered the “crack in the bedroom window.” Your prompt response with the issues we’ve encountered since the sale of this new home definitely has restored our confidence.”

Liz & Chris

“Thanks so very much, Mike! Your report was so thorough and was so helpful! My parents were equally impressed with everything that you did. Thanks so much!!!”

Jennifer Daskal

“Thanks to your work, I feel that we’re going into this transaction with our eyes wide open. I have many concerns, but at least we know what the problematic issues are. Many, many thanks.”

“I am fully satisfied with your services as we wouldn’t never imagine all this without you. the Owner understood our point of you and it was definitely way easier for us to make our point heard with your detailed explanations.”

“I wanted to thank you for such a thorough inspection, it really guided us in the right direction and let us know the extent of what needed to be taken care of. Anthony and I really appreciated your time! “

Chrissy Katnik

“This is only the second home inspection process I have been a part of, but wanted to let you know I thought you did a fantastic job, and made sure you covered anything and everything. I am a “details” person and loved the fact that you were so thorough and also explained the limitations you have on areas that weren’t your field of expertise. I would highly recommend you and 3-D home inspection to anyone I know.”

Christina Chase

“Thank you again for the home inspection. You were quite thorough, and I appreciated all of the insights and explanations you gave to me while I was there even though I’m sure I am ignorant, I am very eager to learn. If anyone I know is in need of a home inspection, I will be sure to suggest you.”

HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS FOR AROUND THE HOMECHRISTMAS TREES1. When buying a tree at a store check for the freshness of the tree: a. Trees should be naturally green and not painted. Those cut long before Christmas are painted to make them appear freshly cut. b. Needles should be hard to pull off. When the trunk is bounced on the ground, the needles should not drop off. c. When bent between your fingers, the needles should bend, not break. d. Have the store make a fresh cut about one-to-two inches from the bottom. A sticky resin (sap) will emerge on the trunk butt of a fresh tree. This cut will also help the tree to absorb water and remain fresh after you get it home.2. Trees should be placed in a stand ASAP. If this is not possible, keep the tree outside and away from the wind and sun with the trunk butt in water. If possible, make your own fresh cut just before putting it in the stand.3. Trees should be kept at least three feet from heat sources such as furnaces, radiators, floor heaters, and fireplaces and should not block exits.4. Small children and pets should be kept away from trees. Trees can be knocked or pulled over, causing injury.5. Tree stands should be clean and hold plenty of water. A six-foot tree will use approximately one gallon of water every two days. Check the water level every day.6. Make sure the tree does not wobble in the tree stand. Re-position the tree to correct or, if necessary, try a larger stand or secure the tree to the walls or ceiling.7. Dispose of the tree after Christmas when the needles start to drop off. Do not leave it in your house or garage, as dried-out trees are highly flammable. Never burn the tree in your fireplace. It will burn like tinder and flames can flare out of control and send sparks flying into a room or up the chimney, igniting creosote deposits.8. Artificial trees should be fire-retardant.LIGHTS1. Make sure lights and extension cords have a certification from a testing laboratory, such as UL (Underwriters Laboratory).2. Indoor lights can only be used indoors. If you are using lights outdoors make sure they are made for outdoor use. Outdoor electrical connectors should be above ground and away from snow or puddles of water. Outdoor lights should be fastened securely to house, trees, and so on.3. Inspect lights and extension cords before they are strung up. Christmas lights are inexpensive. Discard any that are frayed, broken, have loose bulb connectors or missing plug blades or grounding pins. Unplug lights from power source before replacing bulbs.4. Don’t use electric lights on metal trees. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights and anyone touching it could be electrocuted. Colored spot lights are a great way to provide highlights instead.5. Position the tree near an outlet so the cords are not running long distances. A string of lights should be no more than three strands long. Electrical cords should not be run under carpeting. Avoid overloading wall outlets and extension cords. Use miniature lights which have cool-burning bulbs.6. Lights and extension cords should be unplugged when they are unattended – when no one is home, everyone is in bed, or no responsible person is around. Lights could short and start a fire. ...
