"Jim at Pinnacle Inspection was excellent - he showed up for my 4-Pt inspection on time, was thorough and communicated with me through the whole process. I was able to get an appointment scheduled within 24 hours of calling and I had the report in hand within a few hours for my insurance company - highly recommend!"
