Jim H. @ Red Tail Inspection did a very thorough and detailed inspection of my current home before…read moreI purchased it. He is extremely knowledgeable about code, construction, permits and all things relating to homes + building structures. He provided my husband and I with an inspection report that was 78 pages long!!! He was honest, effective and did not leave one stone unturned. He also recommended a chimney specialist for our chimney that had a tree growing out of it (prior to purchase). Due to his detailed report, we were able to address many issues with the former owner prior to the final purchase of our current home. Jim is amazing. Kind, smart, funny and so honest. I can't think Jim enough for making us feel confident that the home we purchased was worth buying!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about James Hartigan from Red-Tail Home Inspection…read more He was very easy to work with and thankfully was readily available which helped us meet our deadline. The great benefit to working with him aside from the inspection is that he has contracting knowledge and so he was able to give us feedback on contracting needs. He is also very thorough and so he takes his time inspecting the home and has the capability to explain things in a way that was very easy for us first time home buyers to understand. We asked if he could answer questions for us as he went along, which he thankfully accommodated. He demonstrates a strong sense of duty, transparency and respect for his craft. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspector.

His equipment was extensive and includes the latest and greatest technologies like a flying drone, thermal imagining camera, ground penetrating radar for oil tanks etc. He arrived much earlier than our appointed time to examine the exterior. After we arrived, he inspected every inch of the house - the roof, attic, walls, closets, appliances, cabinets, floors, crawlspace... you name it. He was very friendly and gives thorough explanations to every question you have. You really can't go wrong with him.

We had an excellent experience with Blueprint Home Inspections. Ricardo was a quick communicator…read moreand scheduling inspection was smooth. As first time homebuyers we were unfamiliar with the process, but he gave us incredibly detailed reports with pictures and recommendations for each area of the house. There were some things he could not complete on the first day (no fault of his own) and he graciously didn't charge us for them until he completed the job another day. I'd highly recommend this company. Ricardo went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, especially given the price point.

Everything was a seamless process - from scheduling to the inspection to the quick report delivery and follow-up questions from us. John is an excellent inspector who is dedicated to his craft. He was very thorough in the inspection and delivered our 115 page report detailing all the ins and outs of the home less than a day after the inspection. He also did a great job of making sure we understood everything and the key priorities, so we didn't get overwhelmed by all the details. We were nervous about the home inspection but working with John gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that we were able to vet our home properly by a detailed-oriented and unbiased inspector! Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I purchased our first home and we used Charles for our home inspection. He was…read morerecommended by our realtor, and from the moment we got in touch with him, we knew why he was HIGHLY recommended. Charles is knowledgeable about everything. His explanation power is really great as well, he taught us SO much during our inspection. He even gave us a whole booklet that we will be referring to for everything in the house. Before we closed on the house, we even called him multiple times to check and he was more than willing to help and give us his insight. He is very great and professional and I would recommend anyone in the area. He is a busy man, but is really the best!

However Nigel and his team including Mark (Home inspector), Matt (Sewer line inspector), Adam (Oil tank sweep) and Bradley (Chimney, roof, water and heating systems) were the highlight of the whole process. The team were very knowledgeable, in-depth, friendly, great value and super clear in their recommendations and next steps. I never write reviews but they were so wonderful and professional, I would recommend them to anyone buying a house.

Obvious signs of issues that would be a red flag to a trained eye have cost us a lot of money.

After months of losing homes to better financed buyers my wife and I were surprised to have an…read moreoffer accepted--a day before we left on vacation for two weeks! This required an adjustment to our contract's inspection period while attempting to maintain the same closing date. Talk about pressure! Apparently all of the service people in the area made the same plans we did as we only found Gary online after exhausting our list of referrals, but we couldn't be happier with the result. He is timely, detail-oriented and professional. While I trust (and will be reviewing positively) our buying agent, I did have a little extra piece of mind going into this inspection knowing that Gary wasn't affiliated with either party and had no vested interest in passing things that could be a problem. Gary arrived 5 minutes early and took his time to explain everything he was seeing in practical (and non-alarming) terms. He also explained how many things worked which was great for first time homebuyers such as my wife and I--we had our own personal living home owners manual for three hours. In addition to his observations, Gary answered all of our questions in detail and helped us to draw lines between cosmetic and structural issues as well as item 'serviceable' vs 'hazardous'. We came away that day knowing what our ask list was going to be, and his official report arrived the next day. The report was thorough and made copious use of photos with red arrows to detail issues, which left no room for questioning. He responded quickly to follow-up questions which helped us move the purchasing process along with our attorney. I really couldn't be happier with our experience.

When he arrived, he really took the time to listen to our concerns and even asked to see some photos to get a better idea of what we were dealing with. After taking a look, he explained that the issue was actually outside the scope of what he usually inspects. But instead of just walking away, he stuck around, explained everything clearly, and gave us some super helpful advice. You can tell John really knows his stuff. He was professional, honest, and didn't try to sell us on anything unnecessary. In fact, he insisted on not charging us, saying he likes to "sleep peacefully at night." That says a lot about his character. He even sent us detailed suggestions on how to handle the problem--what kind of work would be needed, the materials to use, and even what kind of handyman to look for. He also gave us a few referrals to get started. We were originally planning a much more expensive fix, but thanks to his knowledgeable advice, we are able to switch to a more practical option and hence cut the cost in half. We really appreciate his honesty and guidance. He is the kind of handyman you would like to work with, especially for people like us after working with various dishonest handman/plumbers...He is definitely someone we'd trust and would go to for our future home improvement projects.

Just a quick update to my previous review written on 9/26/2021…read more First, NOTHING HAS CHANGED about the positive review I wrote about John's services, however after some time has passed since we first met John, I do want to add that John is absolutely and truly one of those people who keeps his promise of "feel free to reach out to me in the future and I will get back to you on it". Despite having completed our home inspection many months ago, as we settled into our home, we realized small things here and there that we didn't notice earlier. Every time we encountered something new, we thought any one of these questions - What can be causing this? How did this happen? How can we fix this? Will this cost much? Is this a small or big problem? The bottom line was where do we go from there?! ... JOHN to the rescue! Every time we had a question, not often, but the few times we did, we took John up on his generous offer of reaching out to him and, NOT ONCE, did John fail to respond within 1 day! Not only has John been extremely cordial and professional with every communication we had with him, but he takes the time to write out detailed, technical and specific instructions on how we could resolve our home issues. Honestly, we would be so lost without his guidance and advice, but he has made our transition into our home less stressful. Like I said in my earlier review, John was recommended by our realtor and we truly believe this was, hands down, the BEST recommendation out of all of the recommendations we received.

Now I'm stuck with thousands of dollars of bills to repair after the purchase of the home. When I asked the company to compensate via insurance, they stated I signed an agreement which I can only claim damages up to the amount of the inspection fee $450!!!. They screwed me and cost me money on the home price as well as repair and refuse to make me whole! Mark Bendit, shame on you! Please check the agreement before you sign. It says you waive your right to be compensated above the inspection fee if they are negligent!! Do not sign! Do not use their services!!! UPDATE!! Based on owners response: The owner didn't refer me to his insurance as he claims. He referred me to his lawyer, who stated they were not obligated to pay me for their negligence. They will only return my inspection fee if I sign a release form. Mark, please don't make me post the release form next. Having your insurance fix the damage would have been the honorable thing to do.

Finding a vendor that can 'do-it-all' was a head-pulling process until I found Mikhail (he goes by 'Michael') who said yes to all three. He showed up on time, immediately ran a ground scan performing the oil tank sweep, thoroughly went through the house for the inspection, and left a radon test kit in the basement to collect an air sample, all for about two hours. Very next day, I received three reports at 9pm: 1. Inspection 2. Termites 3. Oil Tank Sweep Currently awaiting a radon test result. Since collecting a sample takes two days and the sample has to be shipped to a lab, several more days are needed. He's done a great job and I highly recommend hiring him for your due diligence. Thanks, Michael! Dan
