I would not recommend them at all they don't do square business and Randy missesd alot of issues in our house that we are now paying for because he didn't do his job. I believe he has relationships with some of the real estate agents and passes through inspections to get the agents paid. Not to mentio he is or was the president of the boarfld of realtors. Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Anyway Randy is a clown his professionalism is less tha ln desirable and i would beware of him and this sorry inspection company. They'll turn the inspection process into a nightmare. Blue Clown Inspections

I WAS OFFERED $700 IF I DIDN'T POST THIS REVIEW…read more.. In good conscience, I couldn't take the money. I'll explain that later... I purchased a home in Fall 2022 and had to get inspections done in less than 7 days. Blue Crab Inspections offered a one stop shop so I booked the inspections. That was the beginning of what will and has cost me thousands and thousands in repairs. The customer service was fast and friendly, and most dealings with the owner were pleasant and well handled. I have to state that in fairness to the company. That aside, in my opinion, this inspection was the worst inspection that I have ever had, hands down. As as real estate investor, I have had well over a dozen so far. When we started having issues with the heat pump, well system, electrical, etc. we called in contractors and they began to point out glaring omissions from the inspection. MISSED FINDINGS The inspector failed to note several live electrical wires that were severed. The whirlpool was never tested because, while it was plugged in, the wires were also cut. All these serious violations were absent from the report. The radon inspector failed to notice that the radon fan is located in the basement, next to a bedroom! I've never had a radon system so when I saw it leaking, I called a radon mitigation company. They informed me that the radon fan should never be in a living area. A quick Google search proves this: "Radon mitigation standards require that the fan be placed outside of the living space of the home." Again, no note on the report and the system passed with flying colors. There are too many issues that we've encountered that a home inspection should have caught. My intent is not to list off every one. I will let just a few of the attached pictures at the end of this review speak for themselves. I wish I were a professional in this field and knew everything about electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc. but I don't. A good home inspection should point out defects/warnings/violations to protect the person looking to buy a home. I didn't buy handfuls of other personal and investment properties in the past because a good home inspection service saved my butt! In my opinion, Blue Crab Inspections failed to do this for me and my family. As I expect a response to this review, I simply ask you to go read other negative reviews of their service and then read the company's response. That will tell you everything you need to know. I won't say any more than that. The issue isn't that people are looking to blame someone, or to lash out at Blue Crab Inspections. The issue is that homeowners trusted the company to help inspect what for many, is the biggest investment of their life, and these homeowners were let down. After thousands of dollars of repairs, the $700 offered to me isn't worth not being legally allowed to share my personal experience with the company. I did ask for a full refund of all the inspections which totaled about $2200 and I would not have posted this review if they agreed to refund me 100%. In retrospect though, I am glad they didn't because I feel that even saving one person from all that I have been through will be worth saying no to a partial refund. I hope that whoever reads this review finds a Maryland home inspection company that will deliver a top notch inspection. From my personal experience, that isn't Blue Crab Inspections. https://www.energyrefuge.com/blog/blue-crab-inspections-of-maryland-review/

The guys cleaned up my entire yard and left nothing behind, I was actually sorry to see them go. I have to give credit to the roofer Dale who went above and beyond for me, especially on a cold and windy day. The building inspectors also commented on the great work LP Homes did.

He offered to have me join him during the inspection, and throughout the walk-through he thoroughly explained what he was seeing and also went above and beyond to give me general tips about what I should be on the lookout for in terms of ongoing home maintenance. He left no stone unturned. He was extremely patient with my questions (which were many!) His knowledge and expertise were excellent, and the report that he generated was clear, easy to read and comprehensive. As a result of his detailed work, I was able to get the seller to agree to the necessary repairs. I moved into the home last week, and I could not be happier!

Their inspection was incredibly thorough, detailed, and professional from start to finish. They were efficient, informative, and provided exceptional customer service throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers, we really appreciated how much time they took to educate us along the way. They welcomed all of our questions, concerns, and inquiries with patience, kindness, and genuine professionalism. We never felt rushed, and it was clear that they truly cared about helping us understand the home and make informed decisions. Shameika was also excellent. She thoroughly checked for lead and was able to give us confirmation in real time, which gave us added peace of mind during such an important process. On top of all that, the report for the entire inspection was ready the same day, which was incredibly helpful and impressive. We truly could not have asked for more diligence or a better experience during such an important step in our first home purchase. We highly recommend John, Sterling, Shameika, and the entire LodeStar Inspection Service team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and customer-focused inspection team.

The inspector got to work right away and kept me up-to-date on everything that he was doing. My inspector did a very thorough job of inspecting the property that I was going to buy. He uncovered a few dangerous safety issues that the seller tried to cover up. I was very confident in his opinion and he led me to make a wise decision of not purchasing the property that he inspected for me. He save me from getting stuck with a place that was going to require a lot of work to be livable. I was very happy with their service and in the future when I am about to purchase a property I will definitely use them again. They were a little bit more expensive than some of the other places that I considered but seeing how thorough they are and the positive reviews that they have I am confident that they are the best option.

Joe still took the time to go over every detail (including finding mis-adjustment in the garage door spring hinge). The report provided was loaded with ways to point out if there were safety issues, things to look out for, and future maintainence indicators, all backed by pictures. Compared with the report I recieved from the buyer of my old home (which is of the quality I have seen 20+ times), this was a whole other level. He was on time, courteous, used shoe covers when in the house, and had the report to me by end of day. I highly recommend his services.
