Once you’ve submitted an offer and it has been executed by the seller, the clock is ticking. You must schedule your general home inspection in order to give light to any other serious home components that might need review. You can get contractors out of Houston, but I have had better experiences with local contractors. Please note that specific performance is not guaranteed and I have no direct affiliation nor compensation agreement with any of the companies/people listed. I welcome your comments regarding their services, positive or negative. This is only intended to point you in the right direction in obtaining the services you need.

I have used a lot of the services listed, but you have to know that we are on an island and “island time” is a real occurrence. Be straightforward with your expectations with everyone from the get-go – let them know your timeframe and the quality of work you expect.
