In the first instance, he caught major issues with the home that our realtor had not noticed, leading us to not purchase the house. Tom is easy to get in touch with, prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain the entire inspection, answer questions, and walks through potential repair and improvement options. The report that he provides is essentially a blueprint for home repairs and maintenance over the next several years and it has already come in very handy! I wholeheartedly recommend Tom for anyone conducting a home inspection.

Since purchasing the home in November, the electricians, plumbers and heating/cooling experts have become like extended family to us. No electrical outlets working on outside of home, no running water outside with an irrigation system that when water was turned on showed a busted pipe. No where to plug in the dryer as when we tried to plug it in the actual receptacle unit fell off of the wall. The washer receptacle had to be redone as it was not what was needed to plug the washer unit in. The wash sink in the basement had deteriorated parts causing a constant leak deeming necessary replacement of all parts. Electrical issues within the home (I.e. a ceiling fan pushed into a recessed lighting hole and wired incorrectly and a recessed light just not wired at all as the wire was left inside the bracket that was holding the ceiling fan up). An a/c / heat pump unit with exposed wires that was not wired properly and does not have wires encased to protect from weather now needed to be rewired properly and encased. The list goes on. While we understand that not every item will be called out on a report, we also find this to be a huge miss. We knew that this house was old and neglected. We knew there would be a laundry list of to-dos. We expected for the inspector to call pertinent items out. All of what we are handling was not called out on our report.

At first, I was impressed with Roof Smart because they were prompt in providing an estimate and willing to a job that another company refused to do unless we wanted to replace all of our gutters. The first frustration was an attempt to repair a seamless gutter with a two-piece gutter, but for the same price. They did, however agree to install a seamless gutter, so I was still happy to work with the company. After over a week of no information I reached out to find out when the job would get started and was told, "by the end of the week." When Friday evening came and the work wasn't started and I wasn't informed by the company, I reached out to find out if the plan was to work on a Saturday or if it would be pushed back to the next week. I was informed that the repair would be done on Saturday, which was inconvenient as we had plans on Saturday, but wanted the gutter hanging from the house to be fixed. Saturday was another no call, no show and while I tried to wait patiently, I had to reach out the following Wednesday reminding them that not only was the gutter unsightly, but it seemed dangerous. I was told the gutter would arrive from the manufacturer by Thursday and that the repair would be done that Friday. When I reached out Friday morning to find out what time the work would be done (losing confidence in their ability to communicate), I was informed that Roof Smart received the wrong part and that the new part would arrive the following Tuesday for installation, but that the repair would begin on Saturday to remove the dangerous gutter. I asked about a time for Saturday and was told 3:00, again inconvenient on a Saturday. I rushed to get home on Saturday at 3:00 so I could be there for the repair and once again, no call no show. After 40 minutes of waiting I reached out to Roof Smart and was simply told they were reaching out to the installer. After waiting an hour and a half with no response, I communicated that I was done waiting as it was 4:30 and we had other things to do. I anticipated a call or worker to show up by Tuesday as that was what I was told. Tuesday came and once again there was a no call no show so I sent a message asking if they were planning to do the job. Roof Smart called me and apologized stating that they had to fire the installer and would need to hire another and that I could wait another week or two for that. While I appreciate the difficulty of hiring a subcontractor who doesn't show up, the customer should not have to initiate all of the communication. This company strung us along for a month and left us with a dangerous gutter hanging from the house and we are now at the back of the line for other estimates that we received, which could be another 3-4 weeks. {EDIT} *Roof Smart's apology came with a $50 gift card. Classy move and worth upgrading from 1-star to 3-stars.

First day after signing the basement flooded because of the sump pump which was "new" . They "replaced it " but it flooded due to the pit not being installed correctly . Afterwards we attempted to contact the warranty company and it was told we're unable to use our warranty (HMS HOME WARRANTY)due to it being a pre existing problem for the "new heat pump " we had the hvac company who installed the system come and check it out he stated that he explained to the seller the system wouldn't work well but was told to do the work as the equipment (which wasn't new) couldn't be returned. We had to use space heaters for the winter. We were told a " new roof " was installed but we still have leaks in the house during cold weather as no ice shield was installed. The front porch was put on BACKWARDS and recently while upgrading the house we can see daylight from the basement. How was this over looked ? Beats me ! The sealer boarder was cut out and wasn't replaced; leaving a big hole into the basement . You can only imagine the chipmunk nest and other rodents . Elite termite pest control we also attempted to contact Them multiple times no answer. Sent paper to the address it came back . We drove to the address it was a house a place of residence.
