We needed a professional opinion on a possible structural issue with our relatively new home. To…read moremake a long story short the issue ended up being more of a cosmetic defect and overall poor attention to detail on the part of our builder. Eric was very professional and knowledgeable, but what impressed me the most was that I felt as if a family friend was over to guide me on the best course of action. Eric was very personable and wanted to make sure I understood what was taking place and that things were safe for my family. He also went the extra mile to check out some other common issues with things like the furnace and had some recommendations on what to look out for. Im not the 'review type' but I had such a positive experience I had to write something up. I will be recommending pillar to post to all of my friends and family. A word of advise to any new home buyers... get a home inspection! For those with new construction at the very least get your 11month warranty inspection. Thank you Eric and Pillar to Post!

By far the most unprofessional and incompetent home inspector I've ever worked with. I've…read morepurchased many different homes throughout the US, and this guy completely failed. Obvious water issues (3 out of 4 sink areas had leaks or issues of some sort), mold in the attic, mold under the subfloor. He did not crawl through the whole attic space (we found growths on the back of the sheeting that suggest inadequate ventilation that will require a roofing professional to fix). We also had issues that could be easily identified from the crawl space (mold that penetrated subflooring around plumbing fixtures). He missed issues that would have been blatantly obvious had he done his job. He then shrugged it off as though it were not a major issue. Despite the fact that, had he had done his job, we could've saved well over $20 thousand on the house purchase cost. We had to rip out an entire kitchen to fix black mold issues, and haven't even started on the other two areas that we found leaks. Not to mention the roof ventilation issues. The free floor installer estimator immediately identified issues using his $100 moisture detector that this hack didn't even notice were an issue. We talked to others who were professional inspectors, they were all clear areas that should've been found. One small oversight is one thing, missing multiple very major issues that are costing well north of $20k shoes the true unprofessionalism that is this home inspector. We are currently seeking legal counsel.

Cliff Steelman is a hack and entirely incompetent. He "inspected" our home prior to purchasing and…read morecompletely missed several items he should have inspected. I'll outline a few of my grievances below: First, the kitchen garbage disposal obviously didn't work, but Cliff claimed it did in his report. Unless it defied the laws of physics and he was able to operate it without electricity, he lied. It was wired incorrectly -- something the electrician we later hired said was a blatant error on Cliff's part. Second, he failed to adequately test the plumbing in a bathroom -- which if he'd even turned on the sink, shower, or ran the washer, would have seen that it did not drain and, in fact, flooded the bathroom. Finally, several outlets did not work and one socket was blackened with soot from flames and sizzled when in use. Cliff missed those, too. Thanks to Cliff and Contented Ewe, will have already had to pay a few hundred dollars to hire an electrician to find all the faults Cliff missed. And we expect to pay a few more to correct the plumbing issues (including tearing out the entire shower because it was done incorrectly). We were not at the house during the inspection, unfortunately. A close friend's husband suddenly passed away a few days before the inspection and we had to attend the out of town funeral. It was a huge mistake on our behalf, I admit, but Cliff was vouched for. Given our experience, unless the buyer is breathing down his neck during an inspection, he is a lousy inspector who will surely cost you more in the long term than his $400 fee. Do not use Cliff Steelman at Contended Ewe. Get a competent inspector who doesn't cut corners and save yourself the grief.

Ron did such a thorough, detailed job all those years ago that there was no question that he was the guy for the job. Back then he was the only guy on the crew; he now has 2 or 3 others. That, my friends, is a testimony to the value of NPI! This new property is recently fully renovated and has been a rental for a few years, so I expected a pretty clean report. Ron himself came out, looked over the property, climbed on the roofs, took lots of photos, poked and prodded, and did, indeed find a few items of concern. He ran us through his findings and that afternoon we had the report in hand. NPI are the folks to hire for any inspections!
