We sold a house and had this company as the buyer's inspector. They left four exterior doors…read morecompletely open or unlocked while we were at work, and left the back gate completely open as well. The inspection itself went well, the fact that our house with all of our stuff in it was left unsecured was unacceptable.

Unfortunately, I had a big problem with my inspection, and I cannot recommend this company to…read moreanyone. In short, the inspector could not fit through a crawlspace constriction that just beyond it had a bad water leak in a PEX pipe and mold. This damage was not hidden; it was readily visible while crawling through the area. The discovery was incidental, not even part of the planned work. While I'm fortunate the repairs were within my contractor's capability, the incident has caused considerable disruption, delaying our move-in indefinitely and incurring unexpected costs. I understand that not every issue can be found, especially with legitimate access limitations. However, when an inspector claims a space is inaccessible yet it's easily navigable by an average person, it points to a critical failure in the inspection process. I believe a more diligent inspection would have uncovered this problem, and as a result, I cannot recommend this company. The significant oversight has caused a lot of stress and financial burden. update: As I've lived in the home for a little while now, I have found more issues that were not documented in my inspection. While this company is dismissing my leak/mold concern as being in an area they were not able to inspect, there are other misses I wanted to update the review with: 1. Deck missing ALL handrail fasteners, like 150 of them! Deck was unsafe and should not have passed inspection in that state! 2. Fireplace refractory panels severely damaged and in need of replacement 3. Multiple gutter issues with incorrect pitch or missing flashing 4. Another deck that is missing additional reinforcing fasteners, including a bolt that was sheared. In this case, at least it's a simple fix but should have been caught in a visual inspection. 5. Roof line missing drip edge flashing. This could rot the roof in a few years, and I need to make an urgent repair. 6. Roof vents have degraded sealant on rubber boots. This should have been visible even from a ladder (not walking the roof). These were all apparent upon visual inspection and should be issues existing at time of inspection. While nothing on this list is a deal-breaker in and of itself, the cumulative list of issues I've spent the past months working through and discovering more of is tiring. I have missed out on many thousands in seller concessions in addition to my personal time trying to fix these problems myself, or hiring contractors when it's out of my league.

A year ago we bought our house in Ashland, and had southern oregon do the inspection. They did see…read morethat there was, or had, been some rodent activity in our house, but said that they did not think there were any rats and did not see how they were getting in. Well, the rats are still here. So I decided to look around the house. From looking at the outside I could not clearly see where they were entering. However, from going under the house and looking around the edge I could see light streaming in above the concrete where our porch is. Putting my hand above the concrete I found that the opening on the entire front of the front porch has a one inch gap. I think a rat can get through that. And since the door to under the house is very close to the porch. Anyone who went under the house and spent any time looking around the periphery should have seen it.
