Incredibly poor service and lack of accountability. We hired this company for a home inspection,…read moreand they completely missed extensive mold on the basement ceiling caused by a leaking steam shower. This oversight ended up costing us $15,000 to remediate and repair. When we confronted them, they came back out to the property and saw the visible mold themselves, yet they still refused to take full responsibility. Instead, they offered a insulting $1,200 settlement. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a thorough and honest inspection. The pictures below show the mold found on the basement ceiling, as well as the mold discovered after we had to rip apart our shower. It's funny Ross says what the public should know.   First the adjacent steam shower unit he talks about is 14' away from the actual shower that was leaking. And was not leaking during inspection.  This was noted that it was fixed years earlier by the previous owner.  The closing of the house was not 90 days after the inspection it was the normal 45 days that is very common. Also the lack of construction experience by CBI.  When first confronted about the leak I was informed in an email that we were told there was caulk issues around the shower. Anyone that has ever put in or been around a walk in shower knows the shower doesn't leak because of the water proofing membrane.  Not caulk.  What this means is the shower should not leak before tile, grout, and caulk are installed.  Once again not experienced with construction practices. All I have to say is watch what you sign when hiring a building inspector. We were denied by there insurance company due to waivers being signed taking all liability away from CBI before they even stepped foot on the property to perform the inspection.  Oh yeah.  I didn't mention the house down the street that they missed the kitchen sink leaking and the wall of mold behind it. Got our family twice they did.

After I tried to communicate the issues, including water damage and mold, with the inspector, who allegedly communicated with one of the owners, all I received was a lengthy email explaining they did everything they could and I should eat up the cost fixing those issues myself. Baseboard with water damage in basement was behind the couch, but it's easy to found out with a peek over behind the couch during the inspection. When we ripped off the baseboard, there were about 25 ft drywall covered with mold. There were obvious yellow stain from water damage in the basement bedroom ceiling. It wasn't included in the report. Response was that it "did appear to be dry, and this most likely was a leaking issue from the kitchen island above, and should just be a matter of re-painting." It's your job to include those issues in the report. It's up to me whether I'm okay with them or want to negotiate some credit. It's a different story when those issues were simply not mentioned in the report. The water damage in the solid wood looked like the bottom of a pot that keeps plant. The baseboard next to that spot was also stained from water damage. Again, not included in the report and response was moving furniture was not allowed. Huh? There was no furniture covering the baseboard. There are random mold in the fridge and paint bubble in window sill. None was addressed in the report. So, what did I pay you almost $700 for?? I'm not paying for someone to tour around the house, but find issues that need to be fixed. If those were included, I may get some credit back. Not only did they deny their incompetence (of course, who will admit), but also not trying to fix their mistake by offering some of the credit. If you have money to waste on this company, go for it. I'd never bother or recommend them.

Jeff responded quickly, was able to get an inspection on the calendar sooner than others, and was thorough and professional. He walked through every note in person at the inspection and explained the impact and what we'd need to know if we were to buy that property. The report was turned around quickly and was thorough in detail. When I had follow up questions, Jeff was available and answered all of my questions. When we had to withdraw our offer and put in an offer on a different property, Jeff's team is who we called and scheduled with. Alex did a great job and was just as detailed, friendly, professional, and really helped put worries at ease. Both inspections gave me great peace of mind and greater confidence in the very big decision of buying a home. Highly recommend!

Nearly all the work I have had quoted, professional mention that a home inspection should not have missed these items.

I know what she means - the guys who are so concerned with an E&O claim that they list irregularities that don't require repair. Tony is thorough, but he wont kill your deal.
