Thomas Building Consulting

Listen to what the other reviews mention - Mark Thomas is the best and is well worth it…read more I recently purchases a duplex down in Bayview and he was recommended to me by my realtor, Norm Terapak (Terapak Realty), as being the best. After calling up and speaking with his assistant about his rates and time, I noticed that it was a little more expensive than other home inspectors. She did mention that it is since he is the best, has the best reports, gets on the roof, and takes his time going through. I took Norm and her word for it and had Mark take a look at the property. His assistant called to let me know that he was running late due to traffic yet he still showed up on time, which is always a plus. We spent more than 4 hours looking through EVERYTHING, and I mean he looked at and tested everything. I have been told that most inspectors don't go up on roofs anymore yet Mark got up on the roof, snapped pictures, and was checking it out for 15 minutes. Mark uses a digital camera to take dozens of pictures and has a laptop on site that he uploads them to right away. He puts together his digital report as he goes. In all he provided a digital PDF copy of the report that was 37 pages long with so much detail. Not only did it include a few pictures on each page, descriptions, but also diagrams of how to correct it or what it should look like. Mark also knew I was a first time duplex buyer and would educate me along the way, show me various items, and explain things in detail so I would understand and know for the future. He was very educational and helpful. He may be a little more expensive than others yet what he found I was able to get some serious money knocked off the price so it was money very well spent. Highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.

As we were talking he mentioned some things that I then asked him to include in the report and he was happy to do so. What a drag it would have been to go over it all myself and ask for changes later. You can't go wrong here if you need the best.

We are meticulous with each inspection because we don’t take lightly that a home purchase is one of the largest financial transactions of our client’s lives. Our reports provide an uncommon level of detail because we believe that issues shouldn’t merely be flagged but should be supported with details.

We believe that the value of our experience, training and knowledge ensures a sound investment for our clients. Because we do these things our clients are presented with a holistic Perspective of the home they intend to purchase, have confidence and clarity on what needs to be addressed, and can move on to a different property or into their new home with peace of mind.

Jay from Norman's Home Improvements made the decision easier for us, as he was thoughtful and willing to discuss our possible plumbing issues right away, before even booking an appointment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norman's to anyone who was looking for assistance. Our experience was a good one, and our issue was resolved with one visit. The total cost was especially reasonable, and we feel we learned a lot in the process - it is always a great thing when someone is willing to explain things to you and answer questions, versus just completing the job. I reached out to numerous plumbers and companies, but Jay's response stood out right away. While most people were happy to give me a (fairly high) ballpark quote which left me wondering if I would be taken advantage of for my lack of plumbing knowledge, Jay was happy to discuss the possibilities of why our kitchen sink had stopped working for no apparent reason ahead of time, before even booking an appointment. He was able to come take a look at our sink just a couple of days later, on a Friday evening. He spent some time discussing the plumbing of our house with us in general, which was extremely helpful as we only moved a few weeks ago. He was happy to answer questions and make sure we understood things, which we really appreciated. He was professional and explained the cost ahead of time after diagnosing the issue and prior to completing additional work beyond the base service fee for the visit. Norman's Home Improvements was a good first experience for us, and I would gladly hire them in the future for additional work. In addition to plumbing, they also do work on electrical, HVAC, and carpentry. We would highly recommend Norman's and we especially appreciated the willingness to not only perform the work but explain the process to us as well.

We were impressed with Scot's huge number of positive Google reviews and his evident commitment to helping people buy, inhabit, and improve historical properties (both landmarked and "vintage"). Our hopes for a thorough and helpful inspection were realized. Scot listened to our concerns and he answered all our questions as we walked through and looked at the property. He also asked our realtor what questions she had. We learned a great deal about the house from our walk-through with him. Most important, Scot emphasized the actions we should take to remedy the problems he discovered. He was able to suggest reputable tradesmen and specialists who could solve the problems he identified. His manner was encouraging and motivating rather than pushy. He gets high marks for that. Scot is a local treasure. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the process of purchasing an older home or a newer home that needs a lot of work off the bat.

If his inspection was much cheaper then I'd give him an A but since he is charging a premium price but not providing a premium service, he gets a C+. I waited 2 years to write this review after having another home inspection by one of his peers in the Milwaukee area. I was out of state when he did the inspection and he said the would be more thorough and add more pictures because I couldn't be present which was very far from the truth. First he tried to send his assistant to do the inspection whereas all of the marketing materials on his website mention Scott and his experience and don't mention his assistant. He missed many issues that should have been obvious to an inspector but have been costly to repair. He didn't mention the Asbestos-Contaminated Vermiculite Insulation or the Asbestos titles or rotted floor joist, which other contractors mentioned immediately upon visiting my home nor a serious basement issues which later cost $12K to replace. He only put 61 photos in the inspection whereas an inspection I did recently in Milwaukee by a less expensive inspector provided 139 photos and much more details for $100 less. The inspection report was not detailed and clearly from a template with every other statement saying "get a specialist to check out the basement, the roof, the chimney, electrical, etc". The whole report appear to be designed to deflect any blame for missing so many things.
