Dave Polo is the worst inspector I have ever used and his reports are useless. He walked into the…read morehome and was combative from the start. He broke multiple items, then claimed that they were broken when he arrived. His recommendations are not code compliant and if the repairs had been made, the town would have issued a fine. Although he claimed to be a licensed engineer, he is NOT. He also refused to look at certain items because "it is not my job". He used the sellers ladder, refused to return it, and left items laying around. He has zero pool knowledge, very little home knowledge, his "special" reports take longer than they should, and they do not include what is needed for each town. When we received his report, it was filled with false information, lack of detail and was virtually useless. I would NEVER hire him again and recommend buyers to look at other licensed engineers.

My wife and I used Dave Polo for a pool inspection in August 2020. It was without a doubt the worst…read moreexperience we have ever had with any professional service provider. The report we received was completely unusable in our real estate transaction and provided no substantive value. We raised our questions/concerns in detail to Mr. Polo and requested a refund based on the "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" advertised on his website. In summary Mr. Polo's response was that the guarantee only applied to home inspections (full response below). He did not provide any refund. His answers to our questions were incomplete. Frankly, his responses were rather condescending given that we were trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to rectify the situation. I can also corroborate the other negative reviews below. Specifically, our "satisfaction guarantee" experience matches that of Steven M. and our overall experience was similar to Merina S. Additionally, I completely agree with points #1 (took poor notes), 2 (took few pictures and few were included in the report) & 3 (the report we received was unorganized, unclear and uninformative) made by Tommy Z. Mr. Polo's response to our refund request: "as is clearly states on my website the 100% satisfaction guarantee Pertains to Home Inspections NOT Pool Inspections. It clearly states, if you believe I have not performed a thorough inspection according to the NJ Home Inspection Licensing Act and Standards of Practice then my client would have to say that At The Inspection and therefore you would not receive a report or additional lengthy responses from me." -Aside from this information not clearly being stated on his website and apparently not applying to pool inspections, this response is fundamentally flawed. The product/service we're paying for is the report. How can a consumer make any assessment of satisfaction without first seeing the product/service (i.e. the report)? Finally, I predict that one of Mr. Polo's responses to this review will be that he does not know who I am, as he tried to state this several times in our emails. His "logic" is that my wife set up the appointment. For some reason the concept that my wife and I are a joint entity and are collaborating on this pool inspection is somehow confusing. Oh and of course Mr. Polo and I did meet at the beginning of the inspection and again at the end. I had to step away for the home inspection, but checked in and my wife was present the entire time. It is unfortunate that I had to write this review, but I hope others can avoid having such a negative experience while going through an already stressful major life event like purchasing a home.

The guys came to my house as stated. They stated I needed a new pump and replaced it. After repair, the system was not working. According to Sean, it was the electrical system to the septic that was the issue. My family member made adjustments to the electrical system to make it work. The company still charged $2500 for a pump that was not needed (2 guys, 2 hours). Further, Sean stated there wasn't a warranty on the pump. What????? We looked up the pump (Liberty pump, model # 257 1-1/2; you can buy it on Amazon for $216!) I requested a receipt for a week straight, to date, Sean has not emailed me the receipt. I wonder why?? Job felt like a scam!

I have been in contact with the manufacturer and they said it is an installation problem. And the roof wasn't installed correctly. Now I have to get someone to repair it.

Look at the pictures I posted after I sent samples to the manufacturer they told me that it was high nailed that means it was nailed in the wrong place and that it isn't there fault and there is nothing they will do.

I could have done a better job myself. I could understand if I went cheap but he wasn't. Please take my advice and do yourself a favor and stay away from this company

The whole house was done quickly and exactly as written up. We love our roof now, it's the best part of pur house now! Since RBMs work we have reached out to Rob with concerns or questions and he immediately responded and inspected to ease concerns. At our request, most recently Rob came to look at the gutter ice dams that formed from the harsh weather and he put our concerns at ease and actually went up on the snowy roof and removed leaves from our gutter! Who provides that kind of service now a days??!! Planning to move soon and will definitely be calling RBM if we need any house work done in next house! Highly recommend if you want quality and attentive service!
