Mr. Kenneth Saraceni completed a very thorough inspection of my home in June of 2017. I would…read morehighly recommend him to anyone needing an appraisal. He carefully examined everything inside and outside of my home and tested every item in the house. His report was received promptly with pictures and detailed explanations of what needed attention. I found by hiring him to do a pre-inspection on my home before I put it on the market it gave me the information I needed to address the issues I felt were important. This eliminated the worry of what the home inspector would find when my house does come under a contract. Mr. Saraceni was also polite and professional as well as reasonably priced.

He took the time to explain his findings clearly and made sure I understood the report and what to look for moving forward. I also appreciate the added peace of mind provided by the 90-day home warranty guarantee included with the inspection.

We hired Ben Skelton to do a full inspection on a 50 year old remodeled manufactured home. He was…read morefriendly, polite, professional, and very thorough. The report was delivered in a timely manner exactly when he said it would be and was very detailed, which as first time home buyers, we really appreciated. We also appreciated the time he took to answer any questions we had leading up to the inspection and during the inspection. He later followed up with us as well to ensure all our questions were answered and to inform us he was also available for repair inspections if needed. His prices are extremely fair and we were extremely satisfied with the service that was provided. We will be hiring Skelton House 2 Home Services for our next inspection and also recommending him to friends and family!

This firm inspected my home for buyers. He inspected as though it was new construction. It was…read morenoted that there should've been more GFIC outlets. The home is 30 years old. That was not standard practice in 1990, although the most critical outlets are GFIC, such as outdoors or near sinks and tubs. Alabama and Marshall County do not require adherence to NEC or IRC, so they are not code violations, nor would they have been under the NEC in 1990. He noted that there is no ridge vent on the roof like that was a big issue. Ridge vents are not always recommended and the roof does have adequate ventilation from top vents and soffit vents. He couldn't find the light switch in the gazebo for the pool lights so he marked them as possibly inoperable. He noted that not all breakers are marked. I'm 64 years old and have never seen a breaker box with them all marked. Hot tub breaker was turned off so he just said there was a breaker off and he didn't know what it was for. There is a motion detected light by garage that also has a light sensor so it won't come on in the daytime. He reported it as inoperable because it won't come on in the daytime. Those last three items could've been addressed if he'd called selling agent to ask. It would've slowed his report a little but would've made it much more accurate.

My wife and I live in MS and started the process of buying a home in AL, so trying to navigate who…read moreto contact, who you can trust, what are different things going to cost, etc. are all complicated things to do when you aren't local and do not know anyone. Through a process, we found Mr. Zachary Mills and South Star and what a blessing Mr. Zachary has been. I called and talked to him personally and he put my anxiousness at ease. He made things simple between us and kept me informed on everything, all the what's, when, and why's. He was truly amazing and then when we got out home inspection report, I was blown away and the "attention to detail" that he gave so many things. There was no doubt on how thorough he was and how I 100% felt like he was looking out for my wife and I and our new investment. I received so much more than I expected and even references to others who I might contact if needed help to fix a few things. I can't thank Mr. Zachary enough for what he did for us, his professionalism, and just how he made us feel like we were more than just another customer, and I have no doubt that if you use Mr. Zachary, he will make you feel the same way. Great Job and Thank you!

In the process of selling our home in SE Huntsville in 2010, a prospective buyer engaged the…read moreservices of Bill Payne to inspect our home. He arrived 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment and had a rather unpleasant, imperious demeanor. He asked which firm had completed the foundation work on our home (settlement is very common in that neighborhood) and I replied that I didn't remember the name offhand, but that the paperwork related to the repairs could be found on the kitchen counter inside the house. He then asked me if Burt Cox (the principal of a local foundation repair firm) had completed the repairs, and I said I didn't think so. We then left the premises with our dog so he could complete the inspection without further interruptions. Several days later, we found out that the prospective buyers were pulling out of the deal because Bill Payne indicated in his report that the house was structurally unsound and that all four corners of the foundation had failed. We were devastated. After several days of reviewing our options, we secured the services of a structural engineer from nearby Decatur. At a cost of over $1,000, he and his assistant came to our home and spent several hours conducting a comprehensive analysis using advanced equipment (it should be noted that Bill Payne did not use this equipment, and his inspection of the entire property took less time than the inspection of the foundation that this structural engineer completed). His conclusion was that the settlement that had occurred was within the normal range for the area, that NONE of the piers had failed, and that no additional foundation work was necessary. Again, we were stunned and could not understand why Bill Payne's assessment had been so off-base. In our opinion, it had to have been either incompetence or some other ulterior motive. After some investigation, we discovered that Bill Payne has a business relationship with Burt Cox. Payne, in his capacity as a structural engineer, signs off on many of Burt Cox's foundation repair jobs, as required by state law, and is presumably paid to perform this duty. This can be independently confirmed by checking building permits that are public records. Although we cannot know for certain why Bill Payne's assessment of the house's foundation was incorrect, there is a strong suggestion of impropriety in this situation. It seems plausible that his business relationship with Mr. Cox has caused him to render overly harsh assessments of houses that have had foundation repair work performed by other competing firms. If you are looking for a wholly impartial assessment that is not influenced by the politics of the local foundation repair trade, I would suggest using another home inspector.
