I am currently selling a house (non occupied). The buyers employed Five Bugle to perform a home…read moreinspection. The inspection report was overall OK and somewhat fair, albeit more familiarization/experience with area would answer some of their own critiques. My criticism comes from the actions of the inspector. The following 4 items I believe showed a lack of respect and overall disregard for someones property: 1. Inspector locked the shed door during inspection. Shed is located in a locked fenced in back yard. There is no key to the shed door, nor did they inform me that this happened. I found this when I went to mow the grass and could not get into the shed to retrieve the lawn mower. I ended up having to force the door open, which caused some damage to the door frame just to gain access. Door should have been left as it was found. 2. There was a 4 pack of spare light bulb in the closet. Inspector used all 4 light bulb, which was unnecessary, and discarded card board box on living room window sill. Bulbs should have been put back in box and returned to closet when finished. 3. Since home is not occupied, the breaker for the outside dusk/dawn lights was shut off in the breaker box. Inspector turned breaker back on and left it on. A week went by before I found this. I was attempting to save a little money by not using exterior, unnecessary lighting when home is not being occupied. Breaker should have been left in the same position after inspection as it was before inspection. 4. Inspector walked on roof and inspected gutters. inspector pulled debris out of gutters and threw to ground which splattered mud all over back of house and (white) screen door. Inspector did not clean up mess he created. Extreme lack of respect. I called Five Bugle Inspection to inform them of issues. Call went to voice mail. I explained what had happened, left my name and phone number and requested a call back. That was 3 days ago and have yet to receive a phone call. Overall, I think the inspector acted unprofessional and without regard for someone elses belongings. Please leave the house in the same or better condition than when you found it. If there is a question as to the condition of something please pick up a phone and ask.

Greg is absolutely wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him. We needed to get a home…read moreinspection in a short 10 days and he was able to work us in to his schedule - ON A SATURDAY - so that we could move forward with purchasing our home. He is thorough, prompt and so nice. He went through and explained the things he saw with us and made sure we had a clear understanding of what he was doing. Our home is in Valpo so he isn't limited to just CP. He also performed a water test as our home is well water. His services were also the MOST reasonable out of all the options (we looked at 6+). Because of his excellent work, we feel confident in our home purchase. You just can't get any better than Greg at Five Bugle!

His pricing is outstanding, and he's consistently prompt and even early. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Justin!

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!
