After seeing these problems, it lead to me to retract the offer.

I can highly recommend Paul DeRick as a super source for understanding and conducting a home inspection.

Summary Review: Paul, your report is outstanding-- out of this world! Thank you for being so supportive to the people and empowering the young adults who are looking to purchase a home. Thank you for being very detail oriented during the inspection and in your inspection report. I only just met you, but I feel like I have known you forever and you added much value to my life in just 4 hours (not all inspections take this long--the process too longer because I asked many thorough questions to have a full complete understanding of what I was looking at). Thank you for all of your help in this process. I highly recommend anyone who wants to invest in themselves during a housing inspection that you go with Paul because he will empower you and add value to the home purchasing process. More Detailed Review: Paul is so passionate about what he does. When I talked to him initially on the phone, I could tell almost immediately that I was going to be taken care of. Most people overlook the value of an inspection. I will be honest I overlooked its worth. Paul communicated all of the services and details that would be necessary for a thorough inspection. One competitive advantage that Paul has over other inspectors is that he encourages his clients to attend the inspection so that way they can review and go over the home one-on-one. Paul goes in much depth when inspecting a home. He inspects the home with very simple yet effective methods. He goes over the home from left-to-right, covering different categories of the home. Paul goes beyond expectations by ensuring that you fully understand why he inspects and reviews those categories. Do not miss out on the opportunity to ask him questions. You cannot ask a stupid question with Paul because he simplifies anything that you do not quite understand. Paul is very detail oriented and will not rush through anything until he is assured that he understands what he is looking at. Paul is very outgoing! If you value someone who is not a robot, Paul exhibits great customer service, being friendly and engaging in small conversation whenever there was an opportunity. I highly recommend the buyer be present during the inspection. I gained lots of knowledge and received lots of value. This inspection was probably the greatest value I have received during this house purchasing process. Paul's report was very thorough. He really helped me identify the pros and the cons of the home that I was looking to purchase. He also includes an "Inspector Summary" page which was helpful with identifying all the critical components that were important in distinguishing what was worth negotiating in a contract versus what was not. Of course, the buyer has to negotiate and pick what is important to them when negotiating a counter-offer, but Paul's report empowers the buyer to understand what he/she should be looking for. Thank you Paul, for empowering young home buyers to have confidence in their first home purchase.

His advice eliminates the misconception that the sales people preached to us, and would save us a few thousand in the future.

We called him on a Sunday with a very tight deadline and he was eager to get to the property and provide us with a detailed report (photos included) within hours of the inspection. As we were making amendments to our home contract (based on the report), he was available to answer our questions and explain exactly what it was we needed to ask for. Not only does Robert look in every nook and cranny, he also uses that newfangled thermal imaging thing that other places charge $200-400 extra for. With it, he found that there was insulation missing behind a firewall in the attic. An honest mistake by the contractors, but one that would've resulted in a hotter summer in the master bedroom. On top of being an expert, ATEX Inspects seems to have some of the more affordable home inspection services in the Greater Houston area. (He's easily worth twice as much.)

If you are looking at this, you've most likely now put in an offer for 'your' future home and are…read moreexcited yet cautious if you've made the right decision. What if this house has problems and to what extent is it bad is a question that is dogging your mind. Well, you are right. It is an important question and decision and you need to know be rest assured that the investment you intend to make is not a toxic asset. If that is the case, then Edward from Professional Engineering Inspections is the right person you need. He is a rare breed of thorough engineers who is meticulous, diligent, professional, punctual, and honest. We recently experienced his services firsthand less than a week ago when we put an offer for a house. We called up the number of the web page and a very professional and amicable Nancy answered our call for services. She scheduled Edward for our inspection on the first available slot. He accepted to do our inspection, set a date/time and was present on the property 10 min in advance. He came equipped with the tools of his trade and went right to work. During the inspection, he would stop occasionally when he found something that thought was a major concern and explain the issue to you. And with the home he inspected for us, we tailed him to learn the issues and discovered that there were many. He evaluated the property for structural, mechanical, and electrical issues. He also visually identified some areas of plumbing that were obvious or apparent. After a 3.5-hour inspection duration indoors, he proceeds to evaluate the exterior - roof, yard, garage, foundation, and more for the next hour. At the end of what was nearly a 4.5 to 5 h inspection period, he diligently explained to us what his findings were. He classified them accordingly as those that needed immediate attention and some that will likely need our attention in the coming 6 months to a year. He promised us a fully detailed report within 48-72 hours (or 24 business hours), and he delivered it promptly. The report included, where possible, cost of what it would cost to repair/replace some items. When we requested for additional details and opinion, he even took further time to explain the findings and give what he thought we ought to watch for. He even went out of the way to find a possible repair option for some of the items. In the end based on his report we found out what the purchase would have set us back by and enabled us to decide if the property was worth considering further. Yes, you will find details in the report that will scream out an alarm in some places, and others that will be a whiny whimper. But at the end of the day, you would have learnt a heck of a lot more about the property that you intended to know. As a bonus, Edward' dry and witty humor will eerily clam you down even when looking at the frightening report he may provide. In summary, if you are looking for an inspector and inspection to be informed honestly of the consequences and state of a property, seek out Edward's help. He may just save you from buying a toxic asset. Based on his evaluation of the property he evaluated for us, we modified our offer significantly which the seller declined to accept subsequently. We just saved ourselves from a disappointing purchase that would have likely bled our savings in the years to come. However, if you are seeking to get an inspection to satisfy your whim and get an OK for a purchase solely for the sake of getting an OK....do not choose him. For those, who think he is an expensive inspector, yes you are right. He is expensive. But you need to decide if this is an expense or an investment. If his inspection saves you from wasting your savings, its worth every penny. Will I utilize his services again for the next property I look at while in the Houston area? The answer is a resounding YES. Would I recommend him to anyone looking for an inspection while purchasing their own property? Absolutely.

In 2009, my wife and I decided to be our own contractors on our dream-home. It was no easy task, and a major complication was obtaining all the necessary inspections for our home warranty. Unfortunately we were unable to use Ed for these inspections, but in the end, PEI was a huge help in ciphering the inspection reports and helped us get our warranty. One evening, Ed even took time out of his evening to talk me through many of our issues and we never saw an invoice for his service. Ed is accommodating and will do what it takes to help his customers. He furthermore inspects homes at a much higher standard than most residential inspectors, and finds things most overlook. You will not be disappointed with PEI and I highly recommend them!
