When we purchased our home four years ago, we had Steve Vacha out and he was very educated and…read morethorough; a true professional. I had some questions and talked to Aaron, who was very helpful and explained things so I could understand them. Sadly, our buyers hired a clueless inspector who claim to be educated, but wasn't nor could he write accurate reports. Red flags: poorly written reports looking like cut and paste, misspellings, not knowing how to find basic things in your home, not knowing how to use GFCI, having to call you to ask how to get the electrical cover off (funny), not knowing how to turn on an ice maker, etc. The next time we need a home inspection, we will again contact Home Standards and know that we will be secure in the findings. Also, I recommend you hire them BEFORE you list your home, so you know what/if any repairs should be made to get it out of the way, then the appraisal should go smoothly to closing. Also, then the buyers won't need to hire their own (who could be a "hack."). We learned the hard way 2nd time around as sellers. In this day and age it's sometimes hard to find honest and reliable services, but Steve and his team have our full confidence. They actually know their way around a home and how to write a clear and accurate report...kudos!

Every week there seems to be an issue with the house. I updated my review on here as a result. Greg has then emailed me, called me multiple times, and left voicemail messages pressuring me to change my review. My customer experience has gotten worse over time and I would not be comfortable recommending this company to anyone I know. Original: When we showed up for the scheduled time, Greg was already done with a slideshow ready for us. We were done in 30 minutes. He gave me his business card so I could call for free with any follow up questions and he said we would retest for radon for free. He's very professional and the price was lower than expected.

All of the calls and emails start off with "this offer is a service we provide for being a customer of Bluffs Inspection Service." (Or something similar) They are never free offers but unwanted solicitations. I know this is not normal because I have purchased two houses in the past and have never had this happen before. So for that reason alone, I would pick a different home inspection service if you're buying a house
