Had Bill do an inspection on our primary residence. The report states that no structure problems…read morewere observed and it appears to be stable. We since learned that the middle of the house over the garage is sinking about 1/2" per year, and one corner of the foundation was settling or breaking away from the house. Another source told us this was just the brick veneer. Lastly, the front wall of the house under the porch is about 10' high of below grade block and that wall is starting to cave in from hydro static pressure. I don't expect an inspector to catch everything, that would be impossible. But, the 40+ things he did catch saved us $1000 on our closing. Then the foundation work will cost $15k. I'd rather know about the foundation work!

Bill with Carlson Home Inspection was very prompt in communication, scheduling the inspection date,…read moreand sending information/paperwork to review before inspection. This was my first home buying experience (unable to compare to any other inspection company) - I felt the home inspection report was very detailed and was received in a very timely manner. They followed all of the instructions that they provided in the 'contract' that was sent over to me for review. Very impressed! I called Bill about two times - 1st call was with questions regarding the report. Answered the questions very candidly. 2nd call - If they happened to have any recommendations on electricians/etc. in the area to assist with the findings in the inspection report. I must have caught Bill on a 'bad day'? He was very temperamental. I'm sure he receives that question all the time. He just needs a reminder that they are in the 'people' business. Positive/effective customer service is important - everyone has 'bad days', but learning to suppress those emotions goes a long way. I did pray for him as I know the reason for his response wasn't because of me. :-)

Bryan performed an inspection on a property we were buying sight unseen. So we relied on his…read moreexpertise to give us some insight on the home that we were purchasing since we could not see it for ourselves. Being home inspectors ourselves in California, we have come across good and bad inspectors. We did home, termite and radon with Bryan. He did a great job identifying problems and his report was well done and informational (I loved the extra comments/pics and humor he added). His communication was excellent. He got on a phone call with us after the inspection and gave us a run down of his findings. We are glad that we went with Picklesimer Home Inspections, and would recommend him in a heartbeat! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you, Bryan!

Sure enough, 2 1/2 months after we moved in one of them failed causing a waterfall through the finished garage ceiling. Water also ran down into two walls and through the fuse box in one wall. All of the bills are not yet in for this mess but the total will easily be over 20K, not to mention that I could have avoided this by insisting on repiping as part of buying the house had I known or, more likely, walked away.

He was thorough in his inspections and knowledgeable when we had follow up questions. His reports are detailed and provided promptly after the service.

I would absolutely not use this company for home inspections. We were buying out of state and used…read morethem per recommendation of our realtor and we had 2 major issues. Issue one was they missed some very obvious item like upstairs sink was leaking into cabinet and wasn't attached to wall, kitchen sink water faucet was not attached, outdoor drain was 100% clogged with mud. Second issue was we had several items repaired and they came out to reinspect. They have everything a pass/fail grade vs. leaving comments and the items they "passed" were subpar quality work. Again moving from out of town so couldn't be in person for inspections but definitely not someone you'd trust to view the property as if it were your own.

His recommendations were clearly presented and helped us in making our home buying decisions. I'm sure there are inspections that can be had for less, but I doubt they would be as comprehensive as what we received.

The former owners kept the blinds down to obscure this issue.

I was even more impressed by the inspection Jason did on my home. Being a new build, I expected to not have many issues. Boy was I wrong. What I received from Jason was a high quality, detailed inspection report that even I could understand because he included detailed pictures and info on the issues. It was so well done even the builder commented on our first walk through, she was impressed by Jason's report and agreed to fix everything documented in his report. His thoroughness was impressive. It was well worth the price paid. Also, Jason was very responsive to any questions or issues I had. He delivered his report in a timely manner and when he said it would be delivered. I would highly recommend Jason and wouldn't think of using anyone else for a home inspection.
