They gave me an in-depth review of the house along with pictures and a grade system for each area. Now the negatives. I wish I didn't have to be negative because Rich seems like a good guy however he missed two major areas that I had to repair. The electrical panel along with other electrical issues and a frayed water pipe that had to be dug up due to the water meter being located on the driveway blacktop. In total, these repairs cost me $14,500 that I could've negotiated with the sellers. Like I said I wish I wasn't leaving a negative review, but this was 2 huge misses that were made that cost me a good chunk of money before holiday season. I would advise having a licensed electrician/plumber do the walkthrough with him if you choose to hire him

Peter was patient and took his time. The inspection overall was extremely detailed and insightful. Buying a house is stressful enough and choosing the right professionals to get the job done is important. You won't go wrong with the inspection boys. We absolutely recommend them.

Josh was amazing! He walked me through the entire inspection as he was walking through it too. He…read moreexplained everything to me as he was inspection the whole entire house, inside and out. I love how personable and friendly he was. He definitely knew exactly what to look for and he had so much knowledge about everything and I'm so glad he kindly shared it all with me. He was very detailed with his findings in person as well on the report which only took him a few hours to write up. I also like how he mentioned the solutions to the issues he found as well as the roundabout costs which gave me a more clear idea about everything that needed to be done. The entire inspection was about two and a half hours which means he didn't rush through it and it only took him about four to write up a 60 page detailed report on his findings. He was definitely very helpful and I am so grateful to have him inspect my new first home!

However Nigel and his team including Mark (Home inspector), Matt (Sewer line inspector), Adam (Oil tank sweep) and Bradley (Chimney, roof, water and heating systems) were the highlight of the whole process.

I never write reviews but they were so wonderful and professional, I would recommend them to anyone buying a house.

Obvious signs of issues that would be a red flag to a trained eye have cost us a lot of money. We've since learned that it does not take much to become a home inspector and that the wiser approach would be to get a cheap home inspection, then pay your trusted plumber/electrician/HVAC to spend an hour looking for any problems.

We had a few trouble spots we were concerned about--our attic stairs, a odor in our bedroom, some outlets--and he gave information and suggestions about each item which was very helpful. It also just feels safer knowing this stuff was all checked out by a professional.

Now I'm stuck with thousands of dollars of bills to repair after the purchase of the home. When I asked the company to compensate via insurance, they stated I signed an agreement which I can only claim damages up to the amount of the inspection fee $450!!!. They screwed me and cost me money on the home price as well as repair and refuse to make me whole! Mark Bendit, shame on you! Please check the agreement before you sign. It says you waive your right to be compensated above the inspection fee if they are negligent!! Do not sign! Do not use their services!!! UPDATE!! Based on owners response: The owner didn't refer me to his insurance as he claims. He referred me to his lawyer, who stated they were not obligated to pay me for their negligence. They will only return my inspection fee if I sign a release form. Mark, please don't make me post the release form next. Having your insurance fix the damage would have been the honorable thing to do.

Finding a vendor that can 'do-it-all' was a head-pulling process until I found Mikhail (he goes by 'Michael') who said yes to all three. He showed up on time, immediately ran a ground scan performing the oil tank sweep, thoroughly went through the house for the inspection, and left a radon test kit in the basement to collect an air sample, all for about two hours. Very next day, I received three reports at 9pm: 1. Inspection 2. Termites 3. Oil Tank Sweep Currently awaiting a radon test result. Since collecting a sample takes two days and the sample has to be shipped to a lab, several more days are needed. He's done a great job and I highly recommend hiring him for your due diligence. Thanks, Michael! Dan
