The bullet: Green Mountain Property Inspections makes your property purchase its priority, both in…read moreaction and in education. The long version: I have dealt with numerous property inspectors, both as a customer and as an attorney counseling my clients, in decades of practice. Many offer detailed inspection reports, others offer convenient service and timely performance, and others still offer to guide the prospective buyer through the property to educate them. Few offer to do all of these while also communicating effectively and clearly. Lucian Benway of Green Mountain Property Inspections is one of these rare inspectors. Lucian's inspection process is equal to those of inspectors with decades of experience: Start with the critical infrastructure (heating, electrical, etc.), directly inspect the interior and exterior of the entire property, or (as with rooftops) with a drone, and outline any concerns along the way with the customer. Lucian takes copious notes, photographs, and video, all of which he uses to great effect when he tenders his final report. This report is more than a summary of the property, it is an itemized guide for repairs and improvements in both the short and long term; Lucian understands that a property purchase may require tolerating some issues, but you may still wish to address them in the future. Beyond his competence and communication, Lucian is a professional: On a recent transaction Lucian gracefully handled a last minute cancellation due to missteps by the listing agent. He could have complained about the disruption to his schedule, and he could have billed the client for the cancelled inspection, Instead, he waived any fee and committed to a new inspection date with no issue. For all of this, I refer my real estate clients to Lucian without reservation or hesitation, and you should, too.

Had to wait 3 weeks for him to start the job as it was the peak of summer, to extend a vinyl sided privacy wall at my town home. (I get it, summer is busy, not an issue at all) Told me he didn't work weekends. (OK great..me either!) Said he would use as much of the existing wall material as he could (the wall was a year old). Said it would take 8 hours, at most, 69$ per hour. (very high price) Texted me a materials list, which I ordered and had dropped off. 7/15 Didn't show on Monday, the first day he was expected to be on site. 7/16 Came on Tuesday with a workmen worked 3.5 hours. 7/17 Because of potential rain didn't come on Wednesday. 7/18 Thursday worked 1 hour. Ran out of materials. Told me I ordered the incorrect materials - I sent back to him, his detailed text message where he directed me on what to order. 7/19 Told me he was busy on Friday with family in the hospital. Friday night he incorrectly sent me a text saying that today he "completed the basement and was looking for payment". So he must have pushed me off to complete another job. 7/26 Didn't show up again, until 9 days later, the following Friday where he ran out of materials again. Spent 2 hours correcting the substandard, bulging siding job he did from the week before. Seams didn't line up and sit flat. Had to place another order, and again argued that I ordered the wrong stuff - I again sent him the text message where he directed me what to order. Figured I would order it on Monday to be dropped off as he didn't work weekends. 7/27 sent me a text asking if the material were dropped off as he wanted to work the weekend. 7/30 Finished the job. Used the entire box of siding that he told me would be enough materials for 3 walls of the same size ( I was going to split the box of siding with 2 other neighbors who had work done) costing an additional $140.00 My husband completed the installation of the gas line instead. Spilled my bbq grill grease all over my new patio because he was rushing. Took over 2 weeks for an 8 hour job and took me 8 hours of buying and returning materials on top of that. I recommend going anywhere else for a carpenter.

He was actually a little early at the property and was able to do some of the exterior inspection before I arrived.

His descriptions of the building and its systems were detailed but he didn't talk over my head with contractor jargon. He was down to earth, friendly and thorough. The inspection report came in the next day with pictures and graphics to help me understand. It was easy to read and Lary made himself available after the inspection for some follow-up questions.
