The inspection was thorough beyond my expectations and gave as a starting point for tweaking the details of our new home. I would use John again and highly recommend his services.

I've partnered with Athena on numerous transactions, and I continue to refer her to my buyers because of her thoroughness, professionalism, and the confidence she instills in my clients. Athena delivers detailed, easy-to-understand home inspection reports that help both buyers and sellers make informed decisions. She's responsive, punctual, and always willing to explain her findings in a way that makes sense--even to first-time homebuyers. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she never rushes the process, which is exactly what you want when making a major investment.

David Perrin was hired to inspect an older home in near Grandin for my daughter. She is young and…read moretrusted his judgment. He missed so many critical items that it is hard to believe he is in business. I have made 4 unreturned phone calls to his office (he is the owner). He won't return my calls and they refuse to give me contact information where I can reach him. His oversights have cost us $4,500 and counting to include appliance replacements, plumbers, roofers, etc. He is protected because his contract says he is not responsible for anything he misses and the most a consumer is entitled to is a refund of the inspection fee. Here is a sampling of items he missed and that should have been patently obvious to anyone; you don't need to be an inspector to see most of these items: 1) Washer did not operate - inspectors are supposed to run a cycle; he did not 2) Dryer was a fire hazard and did not operate - inspectors are supposed to run a cycle; he did not 3) Roof leaked in two places - he never got on the roof to look; you could also see daylight through the attic which he also missed. 4) Plaster walls in closet were so full of moisture that they caved in at slight touch; closet boards were bowed from moisture - He never made note of this at all. 5) Roof needs replacement; it is not 12 year old architectural shingles as stated by Mr. Perrin 6) All windows are in awful shape; he only recorded that they needed to be unstuck from paint 7) HVAC works but has exceeded its life expectancy by a decade (this was noted but he confidently stated that he had seen them last much longer) 8) Kitchen sink leaks (obvious to anyone) 9) P-Trap in Bathroom was in dire need of replacement; water was turned off to sink after move in and plumber was called. The plaster wall where pipe goes through showed obvious signs of water damage. The plumber stated this leak had been going on for a long time. I would never hire NPI or DAVID PERRIN to inspect any home that I was considering purchasing.
