It's a little hard to tell the exact quality of the inspection until we've lived here for a few years, but it's been over 6 months now and it seems like Blue Lobster was spot on about everything they looked at. We felt they were incredibly thorough (even calling out things like some mold on the underside of the refrigerator water dispenser) and also didn't make us feel too scared about the things that they did find that were not up to snuff. We got a solid picture about the house, and a great, thorough report, that we were also able to give directly to our insurance provider so they could see what they were insuring. Every contact was friendly and professional, and no complaints at all!

He was professional and understanding of our knowledge gaps. Most importantly, he was comfortable to tell us when he didn't know an answer as opposed to just firing off a best guess. He pointed us in the right direction for where to get the most qualified answers to our questions. The formal inspection report we received after the on site visit was detailed and user friendly. This is our second home and our experience with WIN far exceeds the experience we had with our inspection on our primary residence. Would HIGHLY recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a quality, professional, and user friendly home inspection. Thanks for everything!

The Inspector Jeremy completed a "very thorough" inspection within 45 minutes of my parents house,…read morethen after claiming that the inspection was over and that it all looked good and after the buyers and the buyers realtor had left the premise he took it upon himself to enter the premises ALONE to "make sure the doors were closed and the lights were off" during this time he claimed to hear a hissing and found what was described as a small leak in my parents bathroom. He shut off the valve to the bathroom sink and the placed a call to the buyers to notify them who claims to have asked Jeremy to shut off the main valve but he decided that would have been "overkill" so he then decided to leave the premises to go and purchase a shop vac to apparently clean up this minor leak however while he was gone because he decided it was over kill to turn off the main water valve to the house which was in the pantry of our kitchen very easy to access, another sink line broke and proceeded to flood our house including the brand new carpet that was less than a month old. Jeremy then tried to pressure us into replacing every single piping line in the house because as he stated "they looked the same" So even though it was overkill to turn off the main water valve, he recommended us replace all the plumbing throughout the rest of the house cause they also could leak. Had Jeremy shut off the main water valve as requested the leak would have been minor and not ruined months worth of painting and trimming and laying new carpet. But as Jeremy stated turning off that one extra valve in the kitchen would have been "overkill" No what is overkill is having to tear out brand new carpet, all of your freshly painted trim and paying over 800$ to a water mitigation company because the inspection refused to work with my parents in any way. What is not overkill though is turning one valve inside the house to turn off the main water source. However after all of this is said and done my parents are forced to go to their insurance company who then goes to the inspectors insurance to find out that the entire story has shifted. You see Jeremy now claims that he was actually still doing the inspection and taking thermal readings inside the house when he heard the hissing. This company is unprofessional and irresponsible and no one from this company will ever inspect any personal property in the future whether buying or selling. Nor would I recommend them to any friends or family.

I never give a review on a service unless I feel that the provider has proved that they go beyond and above what I was expecting. This is the case with Focused Property Inspections. I have had over 100 properties pre-inspected by this firm and they have represented 100's of my buyers and each and every instance they have conducted themselves professionally and go the extra mile to explain systems and issues until the client understands. You will not go wrong using the services of FPI, they will even answer questions for you a year after the inspection. Top notch 5 stars!

Dean acted rude, combative and generally ill-mannered with me. I recommend you look elsewhere as…read morethere are plenty of other people in this line of work who are very nice and easy to work with. With Dean, however, billing was a nightmare and he did everything he could to extend his work -- is he hungry or something? I hired him on two more visits (his idea), and on both times he seemed to be doing everything he could to keep extending everything. His report was boiler-plate copy/paste nonsense with pictures thrown in (90% of it was just pictures... thanks... I could have done that myself). On return visits (2!!) he basically did nothing but charged and got super rude about the whole thing. I have all emails, reports and bills to support this review if you're interested. Not happy with his effort at all and everything he did for me was utterly useless to me. EDIT 8/8/2017: I see Dean thinks this is a fake review. He clearly did not see the last paragraph, just above. I have invoices, several emails, and canceled checks to your company. My dealings with you were through a company. I'm happy to provide all this evidence to Yelp for verification. Too bad I didn't record the mean phone calls, too!

As planned on the date, the inspection went down and VERY quickly the next day I got the full report. There were some items I didn't understand, and I just wanted to hear the narrative, so I emailed and asked if he could walk me through it. Within the hour he wrote back and we were on the phone, he helped explain everything and answer all my questions. Next day he texted with Radon test results. North Coast was awesome, did exactly what I was hoping for, and I'm leaving the experience a happy customer. I'd totally recommend them for home inspections.
