I am a Realtor in NC / SC and an Unlimited Building General Contractor, so I'm EXTREMELY picky…read moreabout service professionals and contractors that I refer to my clients. I was referred by another Realtor, and reached out to Ace to schedule a mechanical and structural home inspection for an ocean front property in Isle of Palms, SC. The scheduling team was very accommodating, as we needed to reschedule the original appointment due to some work that the sellers needed to do prior to the inspection that got delayed. No problem! They worked around the rental schedule and got it done. I found out fromt he office that Jeffrey Donaldson, the owner of the company, is also a Structural Engineer, in addition to being a licensed Home Inspector- which made me feel super comfortable that I had the best set of eyes and ears on this home. We did a recap with the buyer in person at the tail end of the inspection, with me being on speakerphone, as I was out of town. At the time of the inspection, he left the buyer with a nice, three ring binder with all kinds of helpful information and homeowner tips, that the buyer absolutely loved. The buyers have bought many homes prior, and he (and I) have never received anything like this from a Home inspector previously. Bravo! The report came back in quickly- by 8 am the very next morning (most Home Inspectors turn them around in 48 to 72 hours). The report was complete, easy to understand, and included pictures and notes on recommended repairs- and, in addition, recommendations for local service providers (HVAC, Electricians, Plumbing Professionals), as well as an addendum that went over 'typical' home project / renovation costs. I was blown away! I have never had this included in ANY past home inspection report. The service provided by Jeffrey and Ace Home Inspections was 'above and beyond'- now, I know why other Realtors use him and his company- and Jeffrey Donaldson and Ace Home Inspections gets my HIGHEST personal recommendation (and I don't give that out lightly)! Thank you for taking such great care of my buyer clients, Jeffrey and Ace! You are now my "go to" Home Inspection company in the Charleston area! Kristen Haynes, Owner, Broker In Charge, GC.

For the low low price of $400 you can be assured that even the most obvious home defect will go undocumented. If you're expecting pictures of any defects, you can forget it... The home inspection report that is used is a boiler plate template and will be full of detailed information with phrases like, "appears to be satisfactory." No other detail beyond that.

I have to downgrade my review from the initial one. Since I moved into this home there have been…read moreabout 8 items not working or needed repair that the inspection should have caught. I was unable to attend due to being out of state, but I trusted my real estate agent who said this guy was the best. There were just too many things he checked off as working or normal that were broken or in disrepair. The owner refunded the fee, so I was willing to let it go, but I've since paid in repairs 3 times the price of inspection and I would not want this to happen to anyone else. The reason I bought the inspection was to ensure this did not happen. I ended up taking time off from work several times for repairs.

He spent 90 minutes on a Friday night Face-timing with my clients to answer questions regarding his inspection report.

Afterwards, both clients sang his praises and now refer to his input when discussing home repairs and improvements. For all these reasons, David is the only home inspector I use!
