Dave is a true professional. He's fast, accurate, and thorough. I had his full home inspection…read morereport in my email less than an hour after he finished the inspection. He even called me as soon as he saw that I was accessing the report online to see if I had any immediate concerns. We then had a follow up phone conversation later that night to thoroughly go over the entire report. I've used other home inspectors in the past, but none have been as in depth as Dave's report. If you want an inspector who treats your future home as if he was moving in, then hire Dave. Rich Fotheringham

It was super easy to set up an inspection with FullScope. David got back to us the same evening we…read morecontacted him. As first time home buyers I appreciated that his website had a video of the walk through of his inspection process. We were even sent a sample of the digital home inspection sheet so we knew what to expect. On the inspection itself David was good about explaining any questions myself or my husband had, such as "What is this thing with the plugs you just said?" Or "Those cracks? Are they okay?" We had our inspection in the winter so certain information was limited due to snow. It meant he had blocked views of some things, and he didn't turn on the AC because...it's winter, but he did tell us what he could based on access. As expected with an inspection we learned what was good about the home, what was functional but would need attention, and what were immediate concerns. For this being my first experience with a home inspector I was happy with it.

Here's what he does right, every time: 1. He's thorough. He takes his time, he looks carefully. And he'll tell you frankly what he can't see clearly and so can't assess. 2. He isn't an alarmist. Particularly if you're buying an old house, you know there will be issues. He will show you what they might be (or what they are) but he puts them in perspective. Some of them are to be expected with older homes. Some are worrisome. Some are a red light. He doesn't treat all of them like an emergency, and explains what he thinks. And he suggests what your next step should be. 3. He doesn't pretend to be an expert in everything. Nothing is more frustrating than an inspector who makes sweeping statements that later prove to be dead wrong, simply because they should have directed a buyer toward a specialist. Stephen has always been careful to tell clients that he can target an issue, but their next step is to talk to an expert, whether it's a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, or a septic company. 4. He doesn't take days to get you the report. In fact, thanks to his computer program, he'll have your report the same day. I have seen a lot of inspectors. I've seen people who only do one or two of these things, and some of them do none. I can (and do) strongly recommend Stephen Kman of Essential Home Inspections to any clients in Delware, Otsego, Chenango and Broome County.
