    I highly recommend Tom Bimson in Philly. He was thorough, patient, and explained everything I wanted to know, which was a lot.

    Incredibly thorough and easy to ready inspection report. Not the most affordable, however, the value is certainly there. Thank you!

    After hearing that our friend had a great experience, we decided to work with Eagle Inspections…read moreourselves for our first-time homebuying process. We had the opportunity to work with Chris in our property. The entire process was seamless, from booking an appointment, the invoice, and the day-of procedure. Chris arrived early to capture the exterior documentation (i.e., front/back entrances, roof, facade) and greeted my partner and I with warmth and good humor. We examined each part of our future home, and Chris was very helpful with answering our questions and sharing context when weren't familiar with certain issues. It's clear he was knowledgeable and reassured us that we would be in good hands on closing day. After the inspection, you receive an in-depth report with assessments on the areas of improvement, concerns, and general status reports. I think he did a great job "looking for trouble," keeping us notified of how to be proactive should any maintenance is needed. Eagle Inspections was great to work with, and should definitely be considered in any home-buying process.

    I recently had two disappointing experiences with my "first time home buying" inspection service…read more The first inspection for the new home indicated everything was fine, but after taking my contractor he discovered serious electrical and roofing issues, leading to my cancellation and a loss of $1,000. I gave the company another chance for my next inspection, where a different technician completed the job in under half an hour, assuring me everything was okay. However, after moving in, I found that the water line is missing its metal lid, the HVAC system was missing a pump that caused a flood in my basement and I had to hire a plumber for drainage issues. After spending $2,300 total with "Eagle Inspection", I realized I should have invested in inspection training instead. When I contacted the company about my concerns, I was promised a callback but never received one. I wouldn't recommend this company unless you already have inspection knowledge.

He was tremendous in taking time to answer our questions -- how to fix something / does it need fixing / ballpark cost -- and never seemed annoyed that we were asking so many questions. He diligently went about his business checking exterior features, observing, poking, and prodding to find soft spots in the wood and taking pictures where appropriate. We continued inside, and he was just as diligent, taking time to inspect each aspect of our new home, from air/heat/electrical/plumbing/walls/oven/lighting/windows/attic/crawlspace/etc.. He also coordinated a wood-destroying insect (termite) inspection for us, as well as providing a radon test. Throughout the process, we felt informed and comfortable, knowing Neil was very detailed in his observations. We are grateful that he took more time than we expected and did such a thorough job. His follow-up report left us with an actionable plan, along with cost estimates for all of the things he noticed. Just like the inspection itself, the report was very thorough. We confidently recommend Neil and Inspections Unlimited if you're looking to get a home inspection.

I chose Joe based on his consistently excellent reviews and I'm so thankful I did! He performed a diligently detailed inspection of the 100+ year old home alongside my realtor, and called me immediately following to give me his high level thoughts. When I received the report, I was even more impressed. It grouped items into repair/replace, ongoing maintenance, and future improvements. He nicely incorporated technology to provide heat sensitive photos for the radiators and 360 degree photos of the whole home. Following, he's since entertained my husband and I's seemingly unending questions with grace and knowledge. Our realtor, who I assume sees this function all the time, noted that she is going to start referring clients to him because she was so impressed. Thank you, Joe!

Recently heard horror stories from friends about other Home Inspectors, so I went into my first home Inspection a bit skeptical. Joe who was my inspector a few days ago, made sure that I was informed about all of his findings. He didn't just point them out but also educated me on why it was a finding, how to monitor the finding, and also necessary repairs/replacements to request from the seller. After receiving my inspection reports (just a little over 24 hours after the physical inspection!) I was even more amazed by how thorough the report was. If this is your first home inspection or you just don't know what to look for, Joe and his team will make sure you do. Great service at a great price!

    Taking my review to YELP!!!!…read more If you are a first time home buyer or a home buyer of any kind, please DO NOT be fooled by the 4.9 stars and reviews from this company. Please take my warning and please find another company to do your inspection and save yourself the headache of incompetience and $$$$$ of issues you will have with your home after you move in. I hired Core Inspections back in January for a home inspection for a home I was buying as my first home. I was confident because the reviews were high, but I can tell once working with them that this company is full of it. During my inspection I was supposed to get a sewer scope done. A seperate person was supposed to come out the same day I was present for my inspection to do the sewer scope and they were extrememly late, they came after the general inspector and I left so they were not instructed on where to do the sewer inspection. After, Core Inspections told me I couldn't get the sewer scope done well into my inspection period because they said there was no access, when my realor and the general inspector from core inspections said there was an access point. Problem #1. Problem #2: My incompetient inspector missed so many obvious issues during my inspection. The fridge wasn't cooling and it was missed. A drain pipe was rusted and unusable and spray painted silver, and once I moved in and used the dishwasher, the basement sounded like a waterfall because the drain pipe was completely shot, large hole and clearly covered to show there was an issue. Problem #3: My inspector did a general inspection on the roof, and since it was snowing heavy, he VERBALLY told be someone would come out and finish the roof inspection when snow cleared, when I follow up now, the company is telling me that isn't protocol??? Now, I am out of a full roof inspection when I wasn't even the one who mentioned someone coming back to finish, the inspector did. Problem #4: My inspector missed that the bathroom in the home I purchased has mold/water damage behind it, so when I got a grouting/caulking company to come restore my 1950's bathroom, I was told the bathroom needed to be completely gutted because trying to restore the caulking would result in the tiles falling off due to water damage. I've reached out to the company to discuss the things missed and I received no resolution and a passive agressive, rude, and dismissive "higher up" person telling me there is nothing that can be done. And telling me that their inspector telling me that someone coming back out to finish the roof inspection was not in protocol so the promise of a more detailed roof inspection should have never be told to me. Also, all these things happened after while being on site, I asked the inspector to throughly explain the inspection results to me, and when I was asking my questions, he cut me off and told me "Stop worrying, this house is solid, I don't see any issues". I, as a first time home buyer was trusting in Core Inspections to give me a quality inspection on my home and once I moved it I got hit with issue after issue costing me thousands, only for when I follow up to be left with no solution and funky attitude from supervisors/higher ups. You also have to sign up for a 30 day warranty on appliances and if you don't sign up on their email, they will claim no responsibility if appliances break on you in the first 30 days of you moving in, even though I had no idea I was offered this. Basically, if they inspect your house, you move in and you run into immediate issues, Core Inspections is going to give you attitude and no compensation. Their inspection was $1k as well. If you are still not swayed by my review, and you decide to pick Core Inspections for your home purchase, and you get assigned Patrick for your inspection, just know you are going into your new house with a bunch of issues. I hope this review helps people who work hard for their money, try to make big financial decisions like purchase a home, NOT to get burned by a poor home inspection.

I would not recommend this company to a first time home buyer. If they are working with your realtor, forget it. It is all about a check to them.
