We had a stucco inspection on our home completed by Tom Southwell of Inspection Professionals on…read moreMay 21, 2021. At the time we were prospective buyers and were very concerned about a crack in the stucco of the pop-out of our row-home. After a $400 stucco inspection Tom's recommendations on an official report were: "Based on the feel of the sheathing and the moisture measurements, no action is necessary at or to the stucco." We were quite relieved and moved forward with the purchase of our home. Fast-forward to March 2022, ten months later. We saw water leaking down from the stucco after a storm and out of concern called in another company for an inspection. This inspection company found severe water damage using the same inspection methods that Tom supposedly used. The new inspector had enough concern that he warned us that we were likely in for a huge repair that would potentially entail going all the way down to the studs of our home. He also let us know that based on the spots Tom chose to check, he would not have gotten a proper reading and definitely did not know how to do a stucco inspection. In addition, he reiterated that there was absolutely no way that this happened in the ten months between the two inspections, this had most definitely been present when Tom came to our property. I have attached photos of the damage for reference as well as our stucco inspection report from Inspection Professionals. This ended up a $40,000 repair on a house we would have never purchased if we had a proper stucco inspection by someone that knew what they we're doing in the first place. I spoke to the owner of inspection Professionals, Steven Hunn , and his answer to this issue was to try to have us sign paperwork to keep our mouths shut (an NDA of sorts that he wanted notarized) and receive our $400 back from the initial inspection. We obviously declined. He also tried to use the gap mentioned above the door in our report as defense that they recommended something. This was nowhere near the stucco, was easily repaired by our contractor with a single piece of wood, and had absolutely nothing to do with the stucco. If I were you I wouldn't risk using their services. If nothing else I hope that this review can keep a few people away from this company and save you from the terrible consequences of a negligent inspection.

Eventually he said It was the chimney. I was so frustrated with him I just gave up. It took two years and numerous calls. I eventually gave up and had a different company come out and fix the problem. They solved the problem in 30 minutes. It cost me $175. I am dissatisfied with his responses to me. Does the Chimney needwork...yes. The problem was the sealant around the flashing and the way it was secured to the chimney. I also had damage to aluminum flashing around my windows when his gutter contractor used the window sill to stand on while installing new gutters. He didn't offer to solve anything. The new gutters are good, the contractor's employee was not. No resolution was given.

My husband and I were in the process of buying our first home. Our realtor was the mom of my…read morehusband's best friend and she recommended Steve Beloyan to us. She described him as thorough and descriptive. Of course, we trusted her opinion and thus we trusted him to give us a full report as we wanted to buy an older house. On a positive note, his mold and well inspections were very helpful. Unfortunately, for the home inspection, our expectations were not met. We were concerned about cracks in the unfinished part of the basement and he did not express concern. ​We believed him when he said that our foundation was okay with the exception of some water damage. We since had remediation for mold and added a dehumidifier to our sub pump​ without further moisture issues. To be safe, we had a waterproofing/foundation company inspect the basement and we were shocked to learn we had stage 2 foundation concerns. The cracks had always been noticeable but as new homeowners we did not know the severity of what we were seeing. Now, as this occurred after we bought the house we have to bite a significant expense to repair the foundation. Had we known about the foundation issues prior to closing, we could have come up with an agreement with the sellers or not even have purchased the house! Yes, he mentioned the cracks in the grout and the water stains, and that a window wouldn't stay open but foundation issues are a massive deal. He didn't even mention the foundation cracks in the report. We obviously learned our lesson to never trust someone purely based on a personal recommendation. It seems like others had better experiences and I hope that for his future clients but if you use him please make sure that he inspects the major/costly issues !
