Given the housing market is cooling nowadays, if you're in the market, you are probably in a better position to negotiate an inspection on purchase. The 5-star consistent Yelp reviews don't lie. Vahn is great, and I highly recommend him! He knows his stuff and has many years of experience in construction, civil engineering and home inspections. He grew up in a household that's in construction and real estate. He quickly responds to the first request for information. However, you should be able to find all you need from the detailed breakdown of prices on his website. He spent four hours on our house and thoroughly explained the HVAC system, how all our equipment works, and how to maintain it through the seasons. Very patient with answering all my Q's because I know nothing about it. While our home is relatively new and within limited warranty, he did find some HVAC-related items, electrical panel and external areas to improve. What did we receive at the end? A detailed 45-page report (we had two HVAC systems) with 10+ recommendations and pictures. He even had diagrams of our electrical, heating and plumbing systems etc. All the model numbers of our equipment and home appliances were listed and submitted to notify us of any recalls on an ongoing basis. It was worth it for us to get the home inspection after purchase. We paid for the extended thermal scan of the home, but we didn't upgrade for the radon scan. However, it's only $30 to add on a radon scan if you want a quick check.

At first I was very upset when I called Vahn and he explained to me why is unavailable and he took the time to contact another inspector to help me. I will definitely recommend friends and family for Vahn service even I don't have a chance to have Vahn to be there for my home purchase at this home inspection, I will contact him for next house purchase. Thank you for the service recovery! Much appreciated!

Can't say enough good things about my experience working with ClearView:…read more - Making the appointment was easy, I actually sent them a message on Yelp and got a reply in less than an hour with the quote - Someone called me to confirm details and sends me an email with all I need beforehand - My appointment was with Tom, he arrived on time and ready to go - Tom explained the process thoroughly before the inspection and answered all my questions in details - Tom highlighted all the deficiencies in detail and we did a walk-through of the entire house outside, then inside - A detailed 60-page report was produced, that very evening - I cannot comprehend such a quick turnaround on such a large report with photos, analysis, recommendations, course of action, etc. - Their online platform to view, download and subsequently create a to-do list is something unheard of - Courtesy follow-up call the very next day to see if I need more help Long review but seriously, these guys are AMAZING at what they do. A home is one of the biggest purchase of your life, don't go for the cheap options, go for the quality. Having spent the money ended up saving me many many times over that on a reduced purchase price.

He contacted the company himself to discuss his concerns. Left undiscovered there would have been an extremely costly issue to address within months.

James' genius made me the hero! My friends woke up to that nightmare that no first time homeowners…read morewant to experience: their very pricy remodelled house was showing water damage on the top level ceilings after just six months. (Barf!) They had a number of different roofing specialists come though to inspect the damage and they all quoted full roof replacement, which could be up to $40Gs! My friends hadn't had a home inspection done pre-sale because including any conditions on their bid may have given the house to the other bidder, so they took my advice to try that tactic after the fact. I'd known James casually and could tell from the way he discussed his work and did his own home construction that he's a super smart cookie who knows his business and is really passionate about it, always updating his knowledge and traveling great distances each day to do inspections. Reporting back to me later my friends seemed surprised at how thorough James' knowledge was and how prepared his toolkit: he took out his moisture meter and diagnosed the problem as originating from the flashing (where shingles join the siding), not the roof - a repair that would run closer to $10Gs to fix. Because he had no vested interest in up-selling the job, his inspection fee ended up paying for itself 160 times over. My friends were understandably delighted and soooooooo grateful for my recommendation. Yay me! (But really him.) James proved just as awesome as expected!

Norb responded to our inquiry immediately that same evening and quickly set up a date to come out and inspect our roof.

We are very happy that we chose with Norb and Beiter Home Inspections. He confirmed our suspicions and agreed to help us out in the future if needed.

At the same time, I had noticed some missing mortar in the brick on the outside of the house and a broken gutter - meaning water was dripping down the side of the house and likely entering the walls. I was convinced we had mold and envisioned our whole bedroom being torn apart. After searching online, I came across this company which had good reviews so gave it a ring. I was impressed from the second Angelina stepped foot in my door. You know when you see Mike Holmes walk into some poor soul's house on his show and you know he's going to fix things? That's how I felt - she was going to save the day. And that's what she did. Long story short, she did her thing using equipment which can detect the presence of mold without making a single hole. She also checked other parts of the house to ensure she had the whole picture. She wasn't convinced it was mold. Surely enough within 24 hours or so, we received the "Indoor Air Quality (Mold) Testing & Investigation Report" via email confirming her suspicion. Turns out our old house with its plaster walls saved the day. Yes water had come in, and yes that was the cause of the odor, but because it was plaster, all we needed to do was dry it out and get out mortar and gutter fixed. (If it had been dry wall, we would have been screwed.) In the following days, Angelina offered recommendations on getting rid of the odor and responded promptly to any other questions I had. She even offered to help me rent an "air scrubber" if we continued to smell the must. Thankfully it wasn't needed. The price was very decent. If I recall, it was in the $350 range when all was said and done.
