The first thing that stood out to me was their prompt service. We were able to schedule on my time, which was very convenient. The inspector was thorough and called my attention to details I hadn't noticed. I really felt as though the inspector treated me like his daughter, trying to see everything that could go wrong and document within his report, including pictures. Now that an issue has arisen, I'm even more grateful to have used Sage Home Inspections. Norm came out in person to look at the dishwasher and referred me to an excellent company to begin the repairs. I am beyond grateful to have selected an ethical business that treats their customers like family.

They didn't need to! That was never under question! I never stated conditions worsened, only that they failed to note any water intrusion from a joint ON THE DAY OF INSPECTION because it was CLEARLY IN THE VIDEO that Superior Sewer and Pillar to Post provided. All they needed was a note in their inspection report stating: water intrusion from joint at x ft from the cleanout... I don't care if they recommend a fix or not, their inspection didn't note it. Now onto the regular report: They really don't think they missed anything, I'm impressed! A non-operational grill (due to a bad igniter) is not the same thing as leaking natural gas! Now that they are disputing that part of my review, let's list some of the other things that they missed: a leaking shower valve (separate from a leak they noted in their report), a non-functional AC unit (wall unit), two saddle valves in use that are not up to code, a foundation crack and some drywall cracks (foundation crack was behind a flower plant, so I don't entirely blame that on the inspector, and I'm not mentioning other cracks because they were behind items they aren't supposed to move). Additionally, I paid extra for use of the IR/thermal camera and they were supposed to use that in a very specific way in accordance with their own Standards of Practice (SoP). Specifically, to check for loose connections in the breaker panel the process is: take the front panel off, turn on a high load appliance such as an AC unit, and take a reading with the IR camera. They took a reading with the front panel on (so no useful thermal measurement was taken) and no high load appliance was running. There is no way now to know if there was a loose connection or bad breaker during the time of inspection. Any inspector worth your money would use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of air coming from air registers to ensure an appropriate temperature drop when the AC is running. They did not do that, hence the broken AC unit that was missed. A lot of the things they missed on the regular inspection report I didn't blame them for missing. I've had way more time than them to find problems, but their response to some criticism is what really makes this company the worst. Original: I hired them (and they hired sister company, Superior Sewer) to perform a sewer lateral inspection. They missed a break in the lateral that cost thousands to repair. I got the line rooted and part of the line had so much water intrusion that the rest of the line couldn't be rooted (water was saturating the 6 inch line). This was clearly visible during their video inspection and they didn't even note it in the report (not quite as much water, but still a waterfall in the lateral line). They refuse to acknowledge they missed anything stating water intrusion in clay joints is "normal". I agree that ground water seeping in is no big deal, water POURING into the lateral, which was happening during inspection, is NOT normal. They refuse to acknowledge any fault or even refund the cost of the inspection despite the fact their miss cost THOUSANDS of dollars. Don't use them. They also missed a number of things during their standard inspection and, during their Gas/mechanical inspection, they missed a natural GAS LEAK in the grill.

Gerry is a great inspector! He performed a standard home inspection for the house I am purchasing…read moreat the moment, and he also performed a Radon screening and a termite inspection. Him & his company also hooked me up with a much desired sewer lateral inspection which is verrry important if you're buying an older home. (This one was built in 1925....so I decided it would be a good idea.) Gerry is a Professional Engineer and I for sure only wanted a P.E. doing my inspection. I'm also an engineer and I know how intensive the process is to become a licensed P.E. It's also a good idea to hire a P.E. for an older home or if you are interested in making any structural changes to your current home. They can give you the safe and correct advice to help you with your project. Plus if you ever want to sell your home, having a P.E.'s comments on the inspection is a good idea. ;) He was verrry thorough in pointing everything out that needed work or was a minor concern. From some ungrounded outlets, to carpenter bees in the pergola, his inspection was honest and professional. He also has a great sense of humor which made the whole process a lot more fun and enjoyable. The following day, my report was available for download on the BPG website. You get a code and username emailed to you and you just download the files as .pdfs. It was super easy and convenient. Also the sewer lateral guy will hand you a DVD with video of the inspection with comments. Pretty nifty. I liked how the info was at my fingertips so soon! Excellent turn around time! :) The report itself was very comprehensive and he even included photos of specific things that needed to be fixed! I would definitely recommend Gerry for your home inspection. He has many years of experience and some great stories to share. I don't know all that much about the company he works for (or is contracted by?) but it seems that home inspections and home warranties are their specialty. Also the prices were very fair. I called around for quotes from different inspectors. Not only was his the cheapest for my house's closing price, but he was also able to do the inspection the earliest which was crucial since I only had 10 days to get an inspection done! (Also I hope I typed the info for him into Yelp correctly...!)
