We requested a structural assessment of a home we were considering buying. Josh gave the house an…read moreextremely thorough review, going above and beyond what we requested by offering supplemental assessments of other aspects of the house. He caught several very major issues that our original home inspector (from a different company) didn't catch, including a critical structural post beneath the concrete deck that had completely failed and was a major hazard. This new information enabled us to negotiate more effectively and helped us reduce the sell price by $25,000. Not a bad ROI for our pleasant time speaking with Josh-- and now we just wish we did our original inspection with VGHI!

Excellent experience! From start to finish, Josh was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly…read morethorough. He took the time to explain every detail in a way that was easy to understand, answered all of our questions, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. The inspection report was clear, detailed, and delivered quickly along with helpful photos and explanations that gave us a path forward. I highly recommend Very Good Home Inspections to anyone in need of a trustworthy, competent inspector. Exceptional service all around!

I wish I had more of an experience to share. I reached out through Yelp asking for an estimate on a…read moreretaining wall project for my house. I got a prompt reply from someone named Chad, which was promising since he was so quick to respond and let me know that he could call me on Monday to discuss (this was a Friday) or I could call their office. I thanked him for his quick response, gave him my contact information, and told him I looked forward to hearing from him on Monday. Well, Monday came and went and I heard nothing from anyone, so I called the number that was listed in his reply and left a voicemail asking for a call back to schedule an estimate or discuss further. It has now been more than a month and I still haven't heard from this company. If they are this bad at communicating from the start, I would not have high hopes for actually working with them. I was disappointed since the Yelp reviews were promising. I'm glad that others have had better experiences with Knoble Engineering and was hoping I would be able to add to their positive reviews, but unfortunately that was not the case. I don't feel it makes sense for me to chase someone that I am trying to give my business to. Luckily, I found another engineer for my project that has been far more responsive.

Their second look inspection on my potential home purchased help identify a fair amount of issue that allowed for a significant price reduction on the home. They did an outstanding detailed job and explained everything very plainly. I would highly recommend them for any inspection needs or structural engineering design/support.

I sent the completed Site Plan to the Inspector several times and it failed each time for various reasons. I was told that I needed a Structural Engineer so I did my research and chose Vest Engineering because their reviews were great. Stephan came out, took pictures and measurements and made suggestions. He was very professional and thorough. Compared to other Structural Engineers, his pricing was more reasonable as well. When I received the seven page Structural Plan, I immediately sent it to the Building Inspector and he approved it without hesitation. I was elated and so relieved. I would highly recommend Vest Engineering to anyone who needs this type of service. Thank you Stephan for your excellence and performing such an outstanding job!!

Week later, got a email with a price for the engineering. Said lets do it. Week later we get another email saying the price will go up $2000 more , dont know why other than it's just more. Added to this was it will also take an additional 2-3 weeks from the time they start. I'm not a reviewer and don't advocate them because each individual has different tolerances for things so you can never be sure the validity. It would be difficult for anyone needing services from this business to not get a sense of what they are in for. The delay they cost me and jacking me around is why I grind the axe here.

I hired this company for a consult. The engineer's communication was subpar to say the least. On…read moremore than one occasion, I reached out to him for updates/developments and if I got a response, he would provide an excuse like a meeting taking longer than expected, having "projects to get out in the next hour" or the default, "I'll get back to you first thing in the morning" and then I never hear from him the whole next day or until I reach out again. People need to stop taking on more work than they can handle. There's no excuse to keep making commitments with customers, breaking them, and continuing on in silence after you fail to keep your word. Companies like this will slow your project down, but always send your invoice right on time and have the nerve to threaten you with a late fee as well as interest and legal fees if you don't pay them when they want to be paid. Time is money for the customers too, but they have no concession for you when they drop the ball and that's a shame.

How would you feel if after your home inspection provider was caught at missing something huge…read moreessentially told you that if it hadn't rained in GA in a while, there's no need to look at the existence gutters or the cloggedness of drains or the existence of a roof. That is essentially what happened here. The excuse provided. We disagree. The home's storm drains are a few feet from the front door....not looked at,not remarked at, totally forgotten in the inspection. And they just happened to be full to the brim. Very obvious if they were to be looked at. We found out at the first rain since closing. Chance to walk away from house: taken from us. Chance to make preparations to fix it before the first rain causes an emergency: not provided to us. Chance to ask for concessions: didn't get it. Literally the second biggest thing possible, missed. What are 150 pages of inconsequential, small issues when you miss something like this??? Scrambling to find a drain pro on the day of 1st big rain in a while...when everyone else is doing the same thing: great. Seeing our yard under water was great too. Having only one company even available to come by after calling close to 20,also great. Almost $3000 in emergency unclogging of storm drains,wonderful too. That's just the immediate cost. There's way more coming. And when you contact Lunspro for a chance to make this remotely fair they say: sign a release and we'll give you half your inspection fee back Consider my story before thinking they'll do a decent job with their eyes. If you get lucky, maybe. If you don't know any better, also maybe. This is the definition of a lackluster excuse for unprofessional conduct.
