The inspector raced through the inspection of my home before purchase and failed to…read moreidentify major issues ... corroded wiring and rusted electrical panels, exposed chimney vent (easily visible). Now I'm stuck with thousands of dollars of bills to repair after the purchase of the home. When I asked the company to compensate via insurance, they stated I signed an agreement which I can only claim damages up to the amount of the inspection fee $450!!!. They screwed me and cost me money on the home price as well as repair and refuse to make me whole! Mark Bendit, shame on you! Please check the agreement before you sign. It says you waive your right to be compensated above the inspection fee if they are negligent!! Do not sign! Do not use their services!!! UPDATE!! Based on owners response: The owner didn't refer me to his insurance as he claims. He referred me to his lawyer, who stated they were not obligated to pay me for their negligence. They will only return my inspection fee if I sign a release form. Mark, please don't make me post the release form next. Having your insurance fix the damage would have been the honorable thing to do.

I am in the process of buying my first single family house. On top of a home inspection, my friend…read moreand real estate agent also recommended that I perform an oil tank sweep and a radon test. Finding a vendor that can 'do-it-all' was a head-pulling process until I found Mikhail (he goes by 'Michael') who said yes to all three. He showed up on time, immediately ran a ground scan performing the oil tank sweep, thoroughly went through the house for the inspection, and left a radon test kit in the basement to collect an air sample, all for about two hours. Very next day, I received three reports at 9pm: 1. Inspection 2. Termites 3. Oil Tank Sweep Currently awaiting a radon test result. Since collecting a sample takes two days and the sample has to be shipped to a lab, several more days are needed. He's done a great job and I highly recommend hiring him for your due diligence. Thanks, Michael! Dan

John came by for a custom inspection we had requested, and right off the bat, he was great with…read morecommunication--kept us updated when he was running a little late. When he arrived, he really took the time to listen to our concerns and even asked to see some photos to get a better idea of what we were dealing with. After taking a look, he explained that the issue was actually outside the scope of what he usually inspects. But instead of just walking away, he stuck around, explained everything clearly, and gave us some super helpful advice. You can tell John really knows his stuff. He was professional, honest, and didn't try to sell us on anything unnecessary. In fact, he insisted on not charging us, saying he likes to "sleep peacefully at night." That says a lot about his character. He even sent us detailed suggestions on how to handle the problem--what kind of work would be needed, the materials to use, and even what kind of handyman to look for. He also gave us a few referrals to get started. We were originally planning a much more expensive fix, but thanks to his knowledgeable advice, we are able to switch to a more practical option and hence cut the cost in half. We really appreciate his honesty and guidance. He is the kind of handyman you would like to work with, especially for people like us after working with various dishonest handman/plumbers...He is definitely someone we'd trust and would go to for our future home improvement projects.

Just a quick update to my previous review written on 9/26/2021…read more First, NOTHING HAS CHANGED about the positive review I wrote about John's services, however after some time has passed since we first met John, I do want to add that John is absolutely and truly one of those people who keeps his promise of "feel free to reach out to me in the future and I will get back to you on it". Despite having completed our home inspection many months ago, as we settled into our home, we realized small things here and there that we didn't notice earlier. Every time we encountered something new, we thought any one of these questions - What can be causing this? How did this happen? How can we fix this? Will this cost much? Is this a small or big problem? The bottom line was where do we go from there?! ... JOHN to the rescue! Every time we had a question, not often, but the few times we did, we took John up on his generous offer of reaching out to him and, NOT ONCE, did John fail to respond within 1 day! Not only has John been extremely cordial and professional with every communication we had with him, but he takes the time to write out detailed, technical and specific instructions on how we could resolve our home issues. Honestly, we would be so lost without his guidance and advice, but he has made our transition into our home less stressful. Like I said in my earlier review, John was recommended by our realtor and we truly believe this was, hands down, the BEST recommendation out of all of the recommendations we received.

We used Maypole for radon and mold testing during a home purchase, and they were total…read moreprofessionals, arriving right on time and leaving the place spotless. The reports were straight forward, and I got a personal phone call to make sure I understood the results. I wish the 10-day radon testing window had been communicated upfront since it required some extra back-and-forth with the seller's agent. We also hit a snag when our mailed-in test was lost, but this is where they really won us over. Maypole owned the mistake immediately and rectified everything so well that we actually walked away more impressed than if nothing had gone wrong.

I used Maypole twice: once in 2016 when we bought our house and then a second time in 2018 / 2019…read morewhen we did a renovation. They were very responsive both times and got the inspections done (and the ever important paperwork completed) in a professional manner that got the project moving. In talking to Maria for the second project, I told her we were in a rush and apologized because of course it was not her fault. I realized that architects and contractors all know that the asbestos inspection is important but somehow never remember to tell the owner that it needs to get done. That creates (yet another) delay in a construction project. Fortunately, Maria was very polite and professional and able to get us scheduled very quickly.

We had a really solid experience with Gotham City for our condo inspection…read more The inspection itself was extremely thorough and thoughtful, not rushed or checkbox-driven. The report went into real detail--electrical, plumbing, moisture readings, appliances, and building systems--and, just as importantly, explained what actually mattered and what didn't. As first-time buyers, that level of clarity made a big difference. They were also very responsive. We called on a Monday, had the inspection scheduled for Tuesday, and received the full report just a few hours after the inspection was finished. Pricing felt fair for the amount of work and detail involved. Overall, it was professional, efficient, and genuinely helpful.
