This is an unusual review because I DIDN'T hire Abe! Instead he looked at the listing of a very…read morerough property that I wanted to have inspected, and gave me valuable advice based on the listing's photos. He could have taken the money and made a lot of money from ancillary services, but he instead showed me how buying this top to bottom demo and renovation was not going to pencil out from an investment point of view. He was right, and he saved me both a lot of money and two years' worth of headaches. So thank you Abe for your time, expertise, and frank opinion, all without a fee. They say advice is cheap, but in this case it was invaluable!

As a first time homebuyer, I didn't know what to expect nor how to compare inspection services. But…read moreafter one phone call to Abe, I was pretty set and confident on Abe's Home Inspection Services. Over the phone, he was able to answer all of my queries and gave me a quick run-down of all the different services they provide and an accurate quote for an inspection on the house. He was also able to answer all of my "what-if" questions and ease my nerves by giving me a step-by-step on what to expect. Although my window for inspection was only 7 days, he was also able to squeeze me in for an inspection and got me my report within 3 days! I'm super grateful for that. On the day of the inspection, Abe and Nick let me join in on the process and even encouraged me to take my own notes. Every step of the way was a learning process for me and I gained a ton of new knowledge on structural info, safety, energy saving tips and more on the house. Abe gave me a packet and some goodie bags. The retractable tape measure with sticky notes and pen is really cool. He also put in some candy if you're feeling peckish, some hand sanitizer, flashlight and bandaids--all super useful stuff. Folder includes info packets, and even a final walk through checklist. He'd really thought of everything. Overall, I highly recommend Abe. His inspection gave me valuable insight on the house, and most importantly I gained a peace of mind. It's definitely worth the price!

My husband and I were in the market to purchase a log home and had one that we used Gary Oleski to…read moreinspect based upon reviews found on line and his "extensive" website since led us to believe he had substantial experience and knowledge with log homes and the unique mechanics of these homes. We were highly disappointed. Despite his home inspection saying there were minor concerns for us, we pulled the Town report and found that many things he aid were NOT issues WERE. 1. Foundation cracks - while not unusual, these were identically cracked across from one another and larger than what I was comfortable with - Gary Oleski said not to be of concern - town inspector report actually said foundation was poured incorrectly and noted as "owner's risk"; 2. Bathroom vents - Gary said that they were to code and vented outside. I specifically asked Gary if they were vented outside or through the Attic, he stated they were vented directly outside, contrary to that we found out that they were NOT vented directly outside and were NOT to code! 3. Prior roof leak was known and new roof was noted and I specifically asked him to look at the roof for issues. He did find nail pops and some concern over the shingles by sky lights but stated that because it was a newer roof the shingles may not have settled into place yet. That was reasonable. We did find out however (and not that Gary would know this, but repair to the roof did not have a permit pulled and the original roof also was not signed off on by the town inspector). 4. Plumbing - the plumbing was not to code and not signed off on by the town. Gary did not see any plumbing issues. 5. The venting of the furnace/mechanics of the house were not to code and Gary said that they were fine. I have no idea what to make of that on the part of what to expect from an inspector on that issue. I realize that not all of that would have been known by an average inspector, but he claims to be a "Master inspector" and at the price we pay for inspections, in this case we paid $795 with the water/radon testing, is it too much to ask that a person that is ultimately in charge of the major purchase we are making in picking a home not pull the town record or know more about what they are inspecting? Also, he claims he is experience in building log homes. When we questioned further, we were told he was involved with building a "Spec/Model" log home. Very misleading from the website. We did not receive any photographs of items of concern or what he inspected, we were not told correct information and while he was very nice and provided the hand written report back quickly, I would not recommend his services for such a significant investment, as we had to walk away from this home based upon what we later found out about the house. If we had based it upon the inspection he provided, we would be purchasing a "money pit" that may not have been safe over time.

Bob was professional, caring, and truly invested in ensuring we were buying a good quality house. For the inspection, he arrived early and walked us through the entire process he goes through. We are first time home buyers, and Bob was patient, answered all our questions, sought out questions from us along the way, and provided an extremely impeccable and thorough final report that is going to be so helpful for us as we embark on this new journey of owning a home. We have referred to it multiple times in just a few months. He took his time and never rushed and made sure to note causes for concern, potential causes for concern, characteristics of our home that are unique and may need special attention and care in the future, etc. He truly went above and beyond. Even better yet - over the next few months as repairs were made and when we had an issue with our walkthrough, we called Bob and he always called us back in the same day, if not just a few hours later. He continued to showcase his care for great service and setting us up for success and never once put us off because it wasn't related to our initial inspection or because a few months had passed. Compared to a few other inspectors we talked to he was bit pricier, but WELL worth it. I have told everyone I can about Bob. If you want a GREAT inspection, a trusted provider, and peace of mind when buying a home, I truly believe you cannot find anyone better then Bob and his team at Cornerstone. Thank you!
