Mold is our kryptonite as we have been made sick by mold poisoning in the past. So, when buying a…read morehouse, we have to be careful beyond the average family. That means deep, intense testing. Charles has been phenomenal in helping us decide if a house we are considering buying is safe for our health issues (and, if not, what we can do to make it safe. the tests aren't all back yet!). Tho he had to travel quite a way, his inspection was meticulous and beyond thorough. He spent nearly 8 hours going into every nook and cranny. He knows where to look, how to ensure the home is safe including the furnace and HVAC system. He was also very careful with making sure we would not overspend on unnecessary tests which we appreciate (altho we went for some more expensive ones at the get go anyway). And then after that full day, he hustled to make fedex to ensure the tests would be evaluated in a safe and expeditious timeline and THEN dropped off the cultures to the lab in person. Further, bc of the purchase timeline, he rescheduled other clients to be able to assess our house so we could get all tests back within our inspection timeline. He is also very well versed on newer technologies and proper remediation techniques for air handling and venting systems. Highly, highly ,highly recommend!

He went above and beyond. As a first time home buyer, his demeanor was very comforting and very welcoming. He is very pleasant and a people's person. His inspection review is well detailed and thought out Would HIGHLY recommend him and his inspection services!!!

Recently, I hired James Desir to inspect a co-op apartment I'm purchasing in Brooklyn, NY. James…read morewas thorough, knowledgeable and very professional. He took the time during the inspection to explain his findings as well as afterwards on the phone once I had the written report. He also made a point to be flexible enough to fit a 2nd visit into his schedule to return to the building and inspect things & areas that he didn't have access to during the original inspection (Note: I did have to pay extra for the second visit). I highly recommend James and Desired Home Inspections. If I buy another property in New York City in the future, I would definitely hire him again.

Joe came out the very next day--he was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He took the time to understand my situation and proposed solid solutions for my smoke issue. So far, I'm very impressed with the service and responsiveness. I would definitely recommend them!

If I could give this company less than 1- star, I would. Long story short, I scheduled an…read moreappointment with them a weeks in advance and just called to confirm the appointment (about a week before the work was to be done), and I just found out they cancelled my appointment. No call, no email, nothing. I had already made travel plans, bought plane tickets, and everything. I cannot believe how unprofessional this company is. To top it off, they actually argued with me over the phone after telling that my appointment was cancelled. This company talks a lot, but does not follow through. I would STAY AWAY. They are a scam and just want to take your deposit money and run!

I received a call back from Tara LaSalle of Accredited Environmental Solutions. I left a message…read moreregarding an ACP5 which is required for buildings built before 1987. If you are planning a major renovation (which we are), then you would need folks like Accredited Environmental Solutions to test for asbestos in your apartment. The inspector, Bill Emery, was very prompt and professional. Price of the inspection was reasonable and price per sample was fair. Both Tara and Bill were pleasant to deal with and so all in all, I would hire Accredited Environmental Solutions again if need be.

WARNING!!!!! 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.

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
