Cross-posting this from Google Reviews…read more The short: Prices are more than reasonable, he's incredibly professional, efficient, quick to respond, and was incredibly helpful to someone like me who has little background in housing. If you're looking for an inspector, look no further. Use Arnold's Home Inspection Services, LLC. The longer version: I am working to buy a house quickly. The inspection was something I worried about because I have read plenty about how many inspectors will sort of... not do their job particularly well. For example, I read an article recently where they hired a variety of inspectors to check out a house with a set of specific faults. Most of them missed even obvious things like a clear water stain in the main room. Knowing I needed to get an inspection quickly, I didn't have a great deal of time to sift through different inspectors and go into a lot of detail, so I had to trust my gut. My gut said Arnold's, and I am glad it did. He was able to schedule the inspection within 2 days. Responsive. My realtor (a former construction worker and construction contractor) and I showed up on the dot and he was already there looking around the exterior. Punctual. We met back up and he told us about what was going on on the exterior. Now, my realtor knows a thing or two about construction while I don't know the first thing. My realtor was able to ask questions that I wouldn't think to ask, but if I had any question, Arnie had no issue answering those thoroughly. We went through the entire house, he checked everything that I could think needed to be checked. This wasn't a case of an inspector checking a single faucet or window and going "Yeah, looks fine" and saying that applies to the entire house and moving on. Arnie took the time to be thorough on each room, talk about what he saw in each room, and told me where to begin addressing those issues. After we were done, he also remembered that there was an outstanding question that we had all forgotten. He came back and we handled that one as well. He could have just left and I'd not have known the difference, but he did. It is clear he puts the work in that he'd like to receive if he were in my shoes. On top of it all, while driving home, my realtor said that Arnie is clearly in the top inspectors he has worked with. He explained that, in his experience, a lot of inspectors out there say some stuff that just doesn't quite add up or shows a lack of actual understanding. At no point did Arnie get anywhere close to that. Everything was logically sound, reasonably stated, well articulated, and thoroughly reviewed. It says something that this was worthy of remark without me provoking that in the conversation. Seriously, I highly recommend Arnold's Home Inspection Services if you need an inspection. You'd be hard pressed to find better.

Bob seems to have a routine and can't deviate. The inspection was on a circa 1895 house and he…read moremissed many defects. Yes you are presented with "this is how things work" but he glossed over or did not cover many things that we had to fix post settlement. The house is heated by gas steam heat so he lit the boiler - then it was "ok that works". I had to suggest we leave the heat on to see that it actually delivered heat to each radiator - something that takes a while. In fact several radiators needed new valves. Like an upper porch railing that was not attached at the bottom and therefore just hanging by upper supports. Like a rear faucet that was not freeze proof and an uninsulated copper pipe under the porch that did not drain and required replacement by a plumber. And it was completely visable to the naked eye. Five missing locks on windows - steam a pipes in basement uninsulated - $2,900 to have insulated. He doesn't lack in confidence that's for sure. And it's misplaced. The agents involved felt that his process was cumbersome. Post settlement I received a "happy now you are a homeowner" email. I responded with a list of the things that he had missed and indicated that we were very disappointed. Guess what - never heard a word back. I was prompted to write this review 2 1/2 years later when I read today that his business is relocating to Frederick - our home town.

I recently had a home inspection, on an older house (it was built in 1900) in a rural area…read moreperformed by Bob (aka Mr.Bob) of Inspections by Bob. Bob, as promised, arrived on site about 23 minutes early for our 10 AM appointment time, which was perfect for me, because I was ready and waiting for him, and he promptly started his inspection after having introduced himself. I have a strong background, in terms of graduate level university studies and degrees, as well as actual work experience, in both the sciences and engineering, and this extensive technical background proved very useful and helpful in understanding many of the technical items and issues that Bod pointed out to me during his inspection of this admittedly very old house. Interestingly, it turns out that Bob too also has a strong engineering background, just as I do; he got his original Bachelor's degree in electrical/electronics engineering (EE) and a minor in mechanical engineering (ME), and with some additional training in lots of related areas. I found Bob to be very detailed and thorough in his inspection, and to be very knowledgeable as well on a wide variety of topics related to the inspection of a home. I was very impressed with his work. Bob was also very personable and friendly, and took plenty of time to explain many of his findings very carefully and succinctly. BTW, the price that I paid for the inspection was one that I feel was very fair and very reasonable. Incidentally, he spent 4.5 hours on site with me, far more than the nominal one hour that the company's website cited as the average visit time for inspection of a 3BR/1BA house, and he then spent several additional hours writing up his report, which was delivered to me via email in a PDF file format by 6 PM on the day of the inspection. Overall, Bob was great at his job, and he delivered more than promised and more than expected. His final report was also excellent and comprehensive. Would I choose this company, and Bob, again if I needed another home inspection? Yes, I would, in a heartbeat!

His final report included specific photos of any defects or questionable items along with helpful definitions and links. For each action item he provided recommendations, so we now have a useful "honey do" list to keep us busy.
