This inspector's report showed a LOT of things "wrong" with our last house. I had to hire a bunch…read moreof experts to refute his claims and it cost us a lot of time & effort. Indo not recommend letting them anywhere near your property if you're selling. They are interested in showing a lot of unnecessary repairs "needed" to get you to lower your price for the buyer. I'm getting ready to sell my next house and they will not be allowed on my property ever again.

When I paid for this home inspection before buying my house, I hoped for peace of mind and that I'd be buying a home knowing all that is wrong with it... but, that was not the case, so many items were missed, and this is only after living here 2 weeks, who knows what else I will find...

This company was hired by a buyer of my home. They scheduled to come in our home for inspections…read more They came, had opened up a bathroom basement window causing about 5 lbs of dirt to fall in from outside where mulch had built up in my flower bed outside the window.....they did not clean up any of the dirt mess all over the bathroom. They did take a towel and wipe the white painted cinder block wall and rubbed it into the paint....called them and they said that the buyer also came to the inspection..... It is their responsibility to ensure that when they go into a home to do their job when the homeowner is not home to make sure the property is left how they found it and they were responsible for all people they brought into the house..... I called them to come clean it up and was basically told they wouldn't have done that and would call me back....they never called back. I also want to note: this bathroom was cleaned before their arrival. I have professional cleaners who come once a week. So there is no doubt that this was done during their visit.
