Though they were on a higher cost it pays off with the provided detailed report they send. We had a great experience with our home inspection. The inspector was professional, thorough, and took the time to explain the findings in a way that was easy to understand. The inspection report was detailed, well organized, and included clear photos and recommendations for each item. We felt much more informed about the condition of the home and appreciated the honest, unbiased assessment. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone buying a home.

General inspection, roof, pool, sewer, mold, etc. all done by the same company (and by 3 people at once so it didn't take forever and a day). Also, prior to the inspection, scheduling was very easy and customer service was great with them fitting me into a cancellation to get my inspection done sooner. We received our report later about 9 hours after our inspection was complete (and received our expedited mold report a day later), and the report is very thorough and easy to read. Once again, if you want the best inspectors and best customer service, this is who you want.

When you're buying a home, a detailed inspection is something you should never rush and I appreciate how Ron always goes above and beyond to make sure we fully understand what we're walking into.

You really are the best!

I hired Ron to do an inspection as I was selling my parents' house and was not completely familiar…read morewith the current condition. I like to use local, small businesses whenever possible, and his reviews were excellent. My mistake was not noticing how old they were. He advised it would take 4 to 4 1/2 hours to complete. He was there 5 hours when my realtor had to ask him to leave for the open house that was being held that day. He came back afterward to finish the roof inspection. He failed to complete an inspection for the kitchen due to "time constraints". However, he had time to note that there was a pet door that was a "safety" concern. He also stated that some items were issues that he was clearly wrong about ("minimal" strapping on a water heater that had 2 straps from a newly purchased kit and a third steel strap, replacement windows that he stated were the "builder type from the original construction"). While I appreciate thoroughness, spending time nitpicking every minor detail in a 61 year old house but not completing the full inspection I paid for is not acceptable. He did not get my name right on the report, even though I wrote it for him on the contract I signed. He did not provide the hard copy report that was promised, nor did he email it to me - I had to get it from my realtor. I'm giving him a 3 for thoroughness. If you have unlimited time to wait for this guy to complete the inspection, go for it. He may have been a great inspector in his prime, but personally I think he needs to hang it up and retire already.

We scheduled an inspection, and they didn't quote a price at the time. A couple days later when I…read moreasked for a price quote they quoted $1,950 for the inspection. I checked with other well known reputable inspection companies and one quoted $1,250 and the other $1,300. When I came back and emailed them that they are charging $700 more than the industry average for this same property, they're response was this: "Tom just reviewed the property again and felt that we had actually under quoted for the home and the guest house, and the liability Tom Is choosing not to do the inspection based on the fact that felt we were over charging." They just canceled the appointment Friday at 5pm, when the inspection was scheduled for the following Monday!!! I did not ask them to cancel, and was not rude to them. They left me hanging with no inspection 1 business day before our previously scheduled appointment. They also knew we have only a few days left of our short contingency, and absolutely could care less. They are rude, arrogant, do not care about the transaction, the client, or anything, and think they provide some kind of excellent service other do not. I have worked with them 2 times before and they are nothing more than average at best. Literally because they have an infrared camera they think they are superior. A lot of other inspectors have that, and we already did a full mold and moisture. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

I am a property manager in the West Side area. One of our tenants, who has absolutely no ownership…read morein the property, called Advanced Building Inspections to order an unauthorized inspection which included various common areas of the building. This was ordered without any authorization or approval from ownership or the property manager. An inspector by the name of Tom De Spain trespassed onto the property and created a thorough inspection report on the tenant's behalf. This included entering our crawl space under the building, opening electrical boxes in addition to many other common areas outside of the tenant's unit. It should be noted that he also left the electrical box cover wide-open upon completion of his unauthorized inspection. It is extremely unprofessional and intrusive to conduct a thorough building inspection without any approval or authorization from ownership or management. This is also very dangerous as there could be precautions that one may not know about unless consulting with the property manager. It is absolutely shocking that this inspector did not even feel the need to contact us before trespassing. It became evidently clear that this inspector and/or Advanced Building Inspections would take any job presented to them without skipping a beat. This is truly frightening. I would avoid hiring at all costs.

He carefully inspected every part of the home, explained his findings in a clear and easy-to-understand way, and answered all of our questions with patience.

It helped us understand the property's condition and prioritize the items that needed attention before closing. If you're looking for a home inspector who is honest, detail-oriented, and truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Clark.
