We had a really wonderful experience with Harold as our home inspector. We hired him to inspect a…read moresingle family home for us, and he was responsive and highly professional -- but with a sense of humor. He arrived at the house before we did, and had filled out all of the necessary paperwork to get the inspection rolling the night before. The inspection itself was incredibly thorough, which was wonderful, because as we went through the house with Harold, it was clear that the house needed more work than we had thought when we made our offer. There were many problems (costly problems that also would have grown into health hazards) he pointed out to us -- but that had been concealed to the untrained eye. Harold emailed us an extremely detailed report later that night with pictures, and clear language and recommendations. We determined that we were not going to buy the house, and we have Harold to thank for helping us to avoid huge issues down the road. Back into the housing market now, which stinks -- but we will absolutely hire Mt. Vernon Inspection Associates when we find the next house!

Each time (but the last one, obviously), we had to call them and cancel the visit. Each time they were incredibly easy to reach despite one being at 7pm and another with less than 24 hours of notice! The voices on the end of the phone each time were sweet and caring and offered just the right amount of sympathy for the lost house every time we had to cancel. Finally, we didn't have to cancel! We've had the pleasure of working with Mike and Karen, and we talked to Mark a few times. Mike and Karen did the actual review and we couldn't be happier. They were on time (though we were not...) and immediately got to work taking pictures and taking notes. We had scheduled four hours for the inspection and we used every second. They both showed kindergarten-teacher level patience with us as we followed them around and tripped over our own feet asking questions. They walked us through everything and provided context to their points to make it easy to understand. I feel like I can actually read a boiler now! They answered questions we didn't even know we had. We expected the report the next day, but it arrived at 11:01pm that night. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but our house was in great condition, so there weren't a lot of things to elaborate on, but it was still a thorough 53 pages. Having that report and knowing exactly how each aspect was examined gave us the kind of confidence that we needed to buy our first house. I really can't express how pleased we were with our treatment and you can bet that when we buy our next home, if Hawkeye Home Inspections is still around (only because we don't plan on buying another home for a while), they'll be hearing from us again!

They are the lowest quality of inspection you can find. It was haphazardly rushed so the inspector could leave to meet up with his wife in NY that afternoon and we are paying the price. I have tried to work with the dishonest Mr. Male. He refuses to take any responsibility or offer any reasonable remed. He is also refusing to provide license #s. That in itself should tell you what type of business they run. They collect your money, show up and look around like it's an open house showing and then when there are issues they will deny all responsibility. Had they done a thorough inspection we would not be in this position. hell, if Mr Male could find a plumber capable of doing the repair he thinks is needed we would not be in this position.

He took a lot of time with us to explain everything going on with the house. The house ended up having a lot of issues that we didn't notice in our earlier walk through. Thanks to Tri-Value consultants we were well-informed about all of the issues with a full report and ultimately decided to not move forward with the home. We are so glad we contacted them and didn't end up with a house that needed a ton of work. I would absolutely contact them again when we are considering future properties.

I moved to the North Shore a little over a year ago and because of the crazy property market at that time, I waived the inspection to prevent the seller doing open houses, locking down my offer. A huge gamble that made me nervous but I have a lot of experience as a home owner. Now that I am more familiar with the area, I was ready to purchase a small income property as well. I was attracted to Tri-Value because of the many stellar in-depth reviews I read, but also, by sheer coincidence because the owners, Michael and Joe Scaduto, have the same last name as members of my family, though there is no relation to these Scadutos. I expected to leave a message, but Joe picked up and I was immediately impressed by his professionalism, responsiveness and knowledge. He was clearly a veteran of the home inspection business and that's just what I wanted. I really appreciate a meticulous, erudite inspection especially when it's combined with outstanding customer service and clear communication. That is what I got in spades with Tri-Value. The actual inspection was done by Joe's son, Michael Scaduto, who is as sharp as they come, and who left no stone or dodgy wiring unturned. I've engaged many inspectors in my years in property-owning and I've never come across this high a level of service and desire to illuminate all aspects of the inspection for the potential buyer. I learned so much! Joe was also at the inspection and they worked as an amazing team of home scholars/investigators. I was made fully aware of all red flags and also everything that was functioning well. Michael and Joe went over and above in my view, at a very reasonable fee, and so impressed am I that I'm now engaging them for the overdue inspection of my own home. Tri-Value is a rare gem.

A disgruntled person who lost money due to one of your reports would be a convenient explanation for my review of you. That is not the case here. I wrote my review as a public service to others. By the way, if this negative review of you should be ignored because the person writing it is not a verifiable client of yours, who is to say the people with names like Regular J. and Mh M were your actual clients writing honest reviews? One reviewer said you gave them names of contractors to contact which seems unethical if you are the one telling them they need to fix something. It is obvious from your response you were not an English teacher. Your "poor me" tirade is littered with misspellings and run-on sentences. Also, it is "due diligence," not "due-diligent" and the phrase is not hyphenated. Since you are so fond of seminars, perhaps you should take a couple on grammar and punctuation so the reports you generate will be readable. There are no nefarious reasons for the review I gave and your attempt to try to tie it to phantom people out there who lost money and have an axe to grind is laughable. If you feel I was wrong in the way I evaluated your lack of skills, you were certainly free to correct the record with your response. You did not even attempt to refute what I said about your paper thin credentials. Instead, you rambled on about people's rights and then you just reiterated what I had said about the importance of hiring a qualified inspector when purchasing a house. Being a licensed inspector does not automatically make you a qualified inspector. There is a very distinct difference. There are many good inspectors out there that know their stuff. You are just not one of them. You obtained a license to be an inspector by listening to online seminars and it is really a shame that both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island set such a low bar for issuing home inspector licenses to people like you. It allows you and others to hold yourselves out to the public as experts, qualified to render opinions about all the important systems of a home. You just do not have the kind of experience you should have under your belt to be giving people such vital advice. You might be a very convincing and affable person but you are essentially a hack. When people hire a home inspector before making a home purchase, they should be getting opinions from real professionals who have a history in the building industry. They should not be getting half baked advice from a former math teacher who may have tinkered around his own house for years applying band aids to his pipes and electrical wires and who now thinks he's an expert. Simply put, you should be required to have years of experience in the building industry before you are issued a building inspector's license. It would be prudent for MA and RI to beef up their requirements for home inspectors so people like Mr. Occhino are not allowed to take a couple of online seminars, pass a test, pay a fee, put up a fancy website touting their skills, and hold themselves out to the public as experts in everything from building integrity to plumbing and electrical wiring when they have never worked in that field. They also get to charge exorbitant fees that are not commensurate with their knowledge. In this case, you certainly do not get what you pay for. Anyone who thinks an online seminar can replace years of hands-on experience in the building industry is a fool. Mr. Occhino's decades spent in the high school math department falls far short of the requirements needed for professions like pipe engineer, master builders, electricians, and plumbers. Even general construction workers most likely have more knowledge than Guy Occhino because they are actually building the houses Occhino is supposedly qualified to inspect. Anyone deciding to buy a house or to not buy a house based on Mr. Occhino's advice should think twice. Or better yet, just hire a home inspector with the right credentials to truly inspect and evaluate your property. You are not going to class to listen to a former high school teacher educating you about a thermostat, you are buying a house. Dispense with Mr. Occhino's 4 or 5 hours of fluff and nonsense and hire an inspector who can determine whether or not the house you are about to buy is a sound investment.
