Spent over 4 hours on this 1800 square foot home inside and out, including the attic, pool and pool cage, outdoor kitchen, A/C, the plumbing and electrical systems, docks, sea wall and boat lift. Not one area overlooked including a Wind Mitigation Certificate and Pest Inspection. Additionally, he was a please to work with!

He was very professional, explained every part of his process in advance so I knew exactly what to expect. Answered all my questions, showed up early for the appointment, and was extremely thorough. He provided information I've never been given by an inspector which I have referenced several times during the process, and the report was one of the easiest to read I've come across. I highly recommend him for any home inspections you need.

The first thing that impressed me was that I received a text and email that the inspection was scheduled and he was able to go to the client's house the very next day. Clearly he has an automated system that stays in contact with his referral partners and customers. By that evening both reports were emailed to the customer and I. What I absolutely love about his reports is that the photos are CLEAR and LEGIBLE. I've gotten many reports from other inspectors that are blurry and it's difficult to read the serial number or manufacturing date on the water heater and/or HVAC systems. This is very important information for an insurance agent like me and the underwriters I work with. I also like the fact that he distinguishes between three tab shingle and architectural shingle roofs because sometimes it's hard to tell. Whenever there is a flat roof, Bill makes a note as to whether or not it is directly over air conditioned living space. Recently I received a wind mitigation inspection from another inspector that didn't bother to move the customer's belongings in the attic to inspect the roof-to-wall attachment. He simply put "unknown" when it could have been clips or single wraps which equates to a few hundred dollars in savings for the customer. But I've never had this sort of problem with Bill. I've been referring customers to him for about 5 months now and as long as his high levels of customer service and professionalism continue, I see no reason to refer my clients anywhere else, especially because he covers such a large part of Florida. Keep up the great work!

It seemed the…read moreinspector went into the attic and commented he was unable to fully inspect the attic due to UV foil. I have had 5 inspectors from Truly Nolen go through my attic with no issues and found rat droppings everywhere. If his inspector had looked just a little bit, he would have noticed the rat droppings everywhere and seen the home made plug that was covering up a hole in the soffit. It was necessary for me to pay out of pocket to clean up the mess made by the rats, the ones the inspector failed to see. I am attaching photos of the rat droppings and the homemade plug in the soffit. See for yourself, in plain view a mess I had to pay to correct because the inspector failed to do a proper job. Would love to attach photo's of what he missed, but unable to add them on this site.

Look no further! My…read morename is Jeff Dorn. I have owned and operated a handyman/home improvement service business for 25 years, Jeff's Handyman Service. I am also a licensed general contractor in New Jersey. www.jeffshandymanservice.com with branches located in Nokomis, FL, South Plainfield, NJ, Dallas, TX and St. Petersburg, FL. I recently purchased a new home in Nokomis and am coming up for the 1 year inspection from the builder. Now you are probably asking why someone in the home improvement business needs to pay a home inspector for something that they have been experienced with for over 40 years? Well, it's like the saying, " an attorney that represents themselves, has a fool for a client" or something to that effect, but I was seeking a professional home inspector because I wanted an independent inspector to look at my dream home with open eyes, and also because having one, took the pressure off me having to negotiate with the builder over the issues, not only that I was aware of, but also which Chris pointed out to me! Well I can not be more impressed with Chris and his company Patek Home Inspections. This guy knows his stuff, is pleasant, courteous and reliable and communicative! His experience and him being currently licensed in Florida as a general contractor, has certainly provided him with not only the experience in dealing with home issues, but also his contact with builders and his simple and brief explanations of the issues at hand. I mean, who is better suited to be a home inspector than a licensed general contractor? Chris also pointed out a bunch of slipping roof tiles that would ultimately lead to a catastrophic roof leak. That alone was worth his fee. Plus he comes back to re-inspect at no charge!, after the builder makes all of the repairs in order to make sure they were completed. That is unbelievable! I will be referring Chris on a regular basis as I have had first hand pleasure of dealing with him and can attest to his great value, trust and communication. Look no further. Call me if you have any questions! This is the kind of company that you want to deal with, I assure you.
