Milo from Carson Dunlop took his time to carefully inspect all the major aspects of the home I was interested in purchasing. He climbed to the lower roof, up into the attic and into the dingy knee walls. One neat service that was provided was the referencing of all my appliances' serial numbers against a database of product recalls. Turns out the dishwasher had a problem that the manufacturer wanted to fix up.
The service took about 2 hours (it's a small property), including the time Milo took to walk me through and briefly explain his observations. The ballpark estimates for fixing some of the issues were helpful too.
On the flipside, Carson Dunlop isn't the cheapest option around and I know Homestars has ratings on many other home inspection companies. All in all, I'd say I received pretty good value for the money I spent.
