Andy&#x27;s Home Inspection

Doug from Northwest Indiana home inspection came out and inspected the house I am buying. He went…read morethrough the whole house. It took a few hours. He pointed out things to me as he went along. The report was very detailed. Several things he pointed out, he told me they were a concern but not immediately. But they would be fine for a few years. Other things he pointed needed attention right away. I would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection.

I had an inspection done for an older house I was purchasing. I felt confident after the inspector…read moreleft; however, after moving into my house, I soon discovered something major that was missed. When investigating the best way to remove tiles from my basement, I discovered my floor tiles could be asbestos. This was never mentioned by the inspector. In fact, he told us we should replace the flooring because it was cracking and damaged. I sent a sample out to a lab and my fears were confirmed. With a one year old daughter, this is not acceptable conditions to have in my house. Now I am stuck paying $3000 to have the asbestos removed because the floor tiles are in such bad shape. I contacted NWI Inspection Service and spoke with Dennis. He seemed to be apologetic, but mentioned that he cannot for sure say whether or not I was offered asbestos testing over the phone. I told him I was not, but regardless, an inspector should suspect asbestos floor tiles and suggest testing be done. This would've allowed me to negotiate a better price on the house. He agreed with me. After we hung up, I forwarded him the emails that were about scheduling the appointment to prove there was no mention of asbestos testing. I told him I believed he should pay for it and my family attorney believed he should as well. He responded claiming that this is not something a trained inspector would be able to notice by the naked eye except through a lab test, which I didn't ask for. He then copied the pre-agreement I signed where it states they are not responsible for testing or mentioning hazardous materials. As a business, I find this to be completely unacceptable. Are we supposed to ask about asbestos testing before we suspect asbestos in the house? Shouldn't the inspector tell us he suspects it? What is the point of an inspection if they won't point those things out? We relied upon NWI Home Inspection Service to make sure my house was safe for my family. If the inspector had told us he suspected asbestos, it would've been taken care of before we ever bought the house. If you see this company and need an inspection, I would advise you to move on. Besides the asbestos floor tile that was missed, two leaking hot water pipes were missed as well. This is very disappointing and very costly!

JDX Home Inspections

I contracted James from JDX Home inspections to do my new home inspection for a property I was…read morepurchasing. I saw all his 5-star reviews and he is a small startup mom and pop company, the kind we like to support. I was traveling into Valparaiso from Pennsylvania for the inspection. I asked him if I could be there for the inspection and his response was, I'm Sorry, you cannot be here for the inspection but, I will have you arrive after I complete the inspection and I will take the time and explain and show you any deficiencies that I find. I thought this was unusual as from what I thought, it was normal for the client to be there for the inspection. I did some research and came across this article ( https://www.inspectorproinsurance.com/business/should-clients-attend-inspections/ ) that explains three thoughts on home inspections and gives the pros and cons of each type. After reading the article it makes more sense to have him complete a thorough job working uninterrupted so he can concentrate on the task at hand and work more efficiently not having to take time to explain everything or have you in his way. He checked every window, light switch, receptacle and door, checked out the HVAC, Electrical, and plumbing systems, including all appliances, roof and crawlspace. He used high Teck infrared camera, borescope, and other tools of the trade. I arrived as he was finishing up, he took the time to do a complete walk through with me showing and explaining any deficiencies either marginal or major. He then sent me a complete report within hours that included images and videos of the inspection and addressed areas that needed repair or replacement. He worked quickly, efficiently and was extremely thorough. I am recommending him with 5 stars.

I reached out on a Monday, and he said if the weather cooperated, they could take care of it by Thursday--and they did exactly that. It's refreshing to work with someone who actually follows through on what they promise. Paul and his crew (about 6-7 people) showed up Thursday with all the necessary equipment and got right to work. They didn't waste any time and were clearly very organized. They even laid down wood sheets on my lawn to help prevent damage from their equipment, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was impressive to watch how efficiently and professionally everything was handled. Honestly, don't waste your time calling anyone else--just call Justin's. Fast, reliable, fairly priced, and they get the job done right the first time. I couldn't be happier with the experience.

We have used Andy twice now and both times we couldn't be happier. Andy is very kind and down to Earth. He truly cares about his clients and makes sure to take his time and go through the property with you and make sure you understand the "what" and the "why". He will answer any question you may have and gives his honest feedback on what he sees. He found several things we wouldnt have even known to look for or check ourselves. His reports are very thorough and detailed and are returned to you very quickly. He follows up after the reports are returned to ensure that any additional questions you may have are answered. Andy is a great guy and we are very thankful for everything he has shown us and that we have learned from him. read more

Andy was an absolute gem! I got my inspection scheduled within a week after talking to him. I couldn't make it to the start of the inspection, and he waited for me to get there and walked me through everything I missed. He was very knowledgeable and put things in laymans terms for me. It was very informal and he was very friendly and easy talk to. He made a VERY thorough inspection report. He also called me the next day after I had a chance to go over the inspection report to make sure I understood everything and see if I had any questions. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a home inspection. He far exceeded my expectations and will not disappoint! read more

Andy even squeezed me in the following day to go back to the house to get to the attic that was blocked during the initial inspection.
