Eric is sub-par inspector at best. I used his services for a home purchase in November of 09. He…read moremissed several critical issues that I am continually paying for today. For all his supposed knowledge at home inspecting he only managed to find obvious cosmetic problems that the average person could spot. He said my warped floors at the entryway were a result of temperature fluctuations. When in fact it was water damage. His missed broken bricks around my windows and a poorly constructed deck. Allot of problems that were filed on his report were issues I spotted that he missed. I would have not purchased this money pit if a proper inspection would have been done. He is a definite DON'T HIRE! BEWARE! 2/27/13 In response to Inspex comments: Eric I am not going to waste my time discussing something with you that at this point cannot be undone. My review above and warning stands AS-IS. This house was re-sold recently after only 3 years living in it and sinking 30k+ on fixing most of the issues you missed. 30k we lost! Which includes the warped floor around the front door that was water damaged and which was clear to any actual qualified professional. The floor replacement was 12k alone since the floor was engineered and too old to be matched correctly so all the first floor hard wood needed to be replaced! I have your report and my wife and I remember clearly what your suggestion was for the problem floor, I wrote it on the report when you left "Just throw a rug over it" Or the suggestions for the deck which was just to drill a few more screws into the loose railing. Railing that fell over with ease which led to the installation of a new deck and more money lost! BTW A+ ratings on the BBB are not worth much IMO, it just means most people know next to nothing would come of a complaint and it's not worth the hassle especially since complaints are never posted in detail, I know the process very well and the results. Which is why reviewing is a much better course of action since the general public can read in detail the complaint and decide for themselves if doing business with the company involved is a wise decision. Which in your companies case, IMO, is not! It was a hard lesson learned. Inspectors are so generalized in their knowledge that money is better spent hiring separate specific contractors (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and structure) to inspect the most important and expensive to repair aspects of a home. Cost more in the short term but saves you plenty in the long!

We are very dissatisfied with Clifton's service. We hired him specifically for a…read morefoundation/deflection evaluation and clearly stated upfront that our goal was to obtain a report that could be compared apple-to-apple with the builder's calculations so the builder could be held responsible. We provided all county-filed documents in advance for this purpose. Despite this, the final report was not PE-stamped and used a different methodology than the builder's standards, making a valid comparison impossible and the report unusable. The builder would not accept it. Multiple follow-ups requesting clarification went unanswered or resulted in brief, unclear responses that did not address our concerns. Instead of addressing our stated goal, the inspector focused on upselling contractors listed on his website and encouraging us to contact them for repairs--something we explicitly stated we did not want. Overall, the service failed to meet expectations and did not deliver what was agreed upon.

Capital City recently pressure-washed our home, deck, and patio, and provided sanding and sealing…read moreservices, as well as painting and refreshing our shutters. The salesperson was extremely personable, which was the main reason I decided to hire them. The painting, in particular, turned out beautifully! However, a series of issues with the rest of the project led to six necessary visits. The first issue was that they showed up in my backyard without introducing themselves or notifying me that they had arrived to complete the work. Overall, there is a lack of integrity in their approach, prioritizing a quick finish over the quality of the job. The project became a prolonged and stressful ordeal, leading to unnecessary inconvenience and difficulty, and disrespect, which negatively impacted the overall quality and timeline of the project. Loosened sand and debris from the patio are expected; however, an excessive amount of sand left covering a large portion of the newly cleaned home, an overly large amount of sand in the pool and its surrounding areas each time, left me with several hours of cleaning, which was unexpected and demonstrated subpar service, and a lack of professionalism. It negated the purpose of hiring a professional. The amount paid did not align with the level of professionalism and quality we expected and received, serving as a cautionary tale for potential customers. I could not confidently recommend this company for anything but painting.

Projects: 1) Replace carpet in 2 bedroom Charlottesville property -- Project was challenging as floors in the high rise were concrete and extremely uneven. I was able to buy extra plush and durable high quality carpet for the cost of lower quality carpet elsewhere. Very reasonable price, including out-of-town installation. Floor Store returned to adjust carpet at the bath threshold where slanted floors left things looking odd. No excuses, no delays, no extra charges. Just a job well-done. 2) Custom area rug -- Love the sisal-look rug which fits my 13'x13' "everything" room perfectly. Got the high end look and high traffic durability I wanted for a great price. Love this indoor/outdoor rug. 3) Shower and floor tile for Richmond patio home -- Project is (still) in progress. It's been challenging due to general contractor issues and delays of several months (NOT the fault of Floor Store). Walter has been on top of the details, navigating the territory of broken contractor promises, no shows, and changing schedules with flexibility, grace, and professionalism. He's been the calm in the midst of a storm no one saw coming. Truly apprciate his patience, kindness, flexibility, and professionalism.
