We are now past the "guarantee" on the inspection but immediately after purchasing this house there…read morewas tons of plumbing problems and while I tried to follow the inspector around, this was the 2nd home he had inspected a potential home of mine. He went very quickly and missed some BIG plumbing issues, and electrical issues. I'm glad I got a home warranty or I would be starving. The inspector, himself, is nice enough. He just seems to not like people or be very fond of being educational. He kept his mask on, that's a plus! If you're a 1st time homebuyer then you need someone who will slow down and go over things with you. This is not that guy/company. You cannot show up early to a home inspection to find the inspector has started without you, and he did this both times. I don't know if he was having a bad day or what, but he saved me from the 1st house with a thorough inspection, but for this 2nd house he FLEW through the inspection-- leaving me buying a home with a broken garbage disposal, water shut off valve that did not work, hot water heater malfunctioning, and MULTIPLE electrical outlets either did not work or were broken in full. While the report just states "slow draining" the problems were FAR WORSE. Add to it that pest control goes through the company, and the pest control folks will NOT release the findings to you directly-- you have to go through A-Pro to get them. So when this family ran company (the mother) decides she will "get back to you" when she is ready... and that "ready" never comes, it can negatively affect your purchase of a home. It's sad that my 1st inspection & communication with this company was an A+ and then the 2nd time around they totally dropped the ball. That lack of sound customer service is too dangerous in the housing market. Rushing through an inspection on hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment is not good business practice. If you go with A-Pro be sure to get a home warranty.

The worst inspection company possible.

The inspector, Danny, was in a rush and also missed a lot of other obvious things that were clearly visible including a crack on the roof above our patio. Now, our daughter's nursery is quarantined off and we live in constant fear of what else they missed. So much for their "120 day guarantee" that they will give you peace of mind and fix what they didn't catch the first time. The owner is retired from his previous line of work and is just trying to make extra money at something he clearly doesn't know how to do. They are terrible. I can't stress that enough. All they know how to do is tell you if a light switch turns on or off. Literally. They don't know anything that you don't know already. Anything more than telling you if a faucet turns on is apparently too much for them to handle and out of the scope, they say, of what they do. Don't work with them ever under any circumstance. It's $800 or more down the drain. Awful, awful, awful company and terrible service. They never take responsibility for anything and don't accept fault when they messed up multiple times in a major, life-threatening way.

Summary: I do not recommend AC Home Inspections. Albert is a nice guy with good intentions but…read moremissed 3 major red flags that ended up costing us close to $10,000 in repairs. He took no ownership of the issues and after offering to refund the inspection fee he went back on his word and did not give the refund (a small pittance in comparison to the repair costs). Long: My home was originally inspected back in January of 2019 with a projected closing of February 2019. I choose AC Home Inspections due to the generally favorable reviews. Albert's price was a good bit higher than other inspectors I researched, and I incorrectly associated that premium price with premium inspection services. If you have a tile roof look elsewhere; Albert will not walk on tile. For reference, the inspector I used for my prior home was all-inclusive and cost a couple hundred bucks cheaper. If he was available, I would have used him again. The inspection seemed fairly normal based on what I had experienced in 2 previous home purchases. I did notice that it went a bit more quickly than my prior inspections. There wasn't anything significant noted in the report that led me to believe I would expect any issues. I know inspectors can't catch everything but there is a basic level of thoroughness a customer can expect. The only thing of note was a water stain on the kitchen ceiling that looked like it occurred from an old leak. This was actually spotted my realtor and added to the report by Albert after it was pointed out to him. The issues began a few months after we moved in. The first thing we noticed was that the bathtub in the "renovated" master bathroom leaked down to living room below. This was found by simply filling up the bathtub and letting it sit for a few minutes. The leak was almost instantaneous. In previous home inspections, the inspector has filled up the bathtub and let it sit for a while to check for leaks. Albert didn't do this simple test. Once that leak was found, we noticed that there was a big circular patch in the ceiling below that was not noted in the report. This patch is pretty obvious and tells me that the leaks had been present for some time. We thought the issue might be related to the drain so decided to stop using the tub until it was figured out. Next, while the bathtub saga was ongoing, we noticed during the first big rain in July that there was a pretty big leak from the roof above the kitchen (where my realtor noted the stain). Technically since it was in the report I can't complain about that specific leak. However, after a few days in a row of heavy rain we noticed another leak above the master bedroom closet. This is directly above where the attic access panel is located. During the inspection Albert did stick his head up into the attic and look around. When I went to track down the source of the leak, I saw obvious, old water staining on the underside of the sheathing directly next to the attic entry. There was also a purpose cut piece of fiberglass insulation placed underneath the leak location so that it would "soak up" the water and not leak below. Well, once it rained hard enough to soak through the insulation, we became aware of the issue. This leak location is right on the edge of where the tile and shingles (for a roof mounted swamp cooler) sits. The exterior of the house also shows stucco work which leads me to believe the swamp cooler float had been leaking consistently which originally caused this issue. I ended up speaking with my next-door neighbor and he confirmed exactly that. To recap, for this leak Albert missed the following: Obviously damaged sheathing visible directly from the attic opening, fiberglass insulation placed directly underneath the damaged sheathing, and exterior signs of stucco repair in the same location. Wait there's more, we continued to use the master shower for a few more months until we noticed that it too was leaking to the floor below. Guess where it was leaking? Directly where that patch in the ceiling existed. At this point (around September '19) I decided I needed to cut into the ceiling myself and figure out where the leak was coming from. I cut two holes into the ceiling where the drains for the shower and bathtub were located. I ran both to try and figure out where the leaks were coming from and unfortunately figured out that the drain was not the issue. The bathtub was leaking through the tub itself and the shower was leaking through the pan. Repairs: I ended up getting a roofing company to fix the roof issues to the tune of ~$2,000. For fun, I had them first check the roof from inside the attic just as Albert would have seen it. The guy spotted the issue right away. Next, I had a plumber check out the shower and tub. He noted incorrect installation techniques (raised floor) and stated that it was an obvious DIY job that he wouldn't touch. In the end I had a contractor rip up the entire shower/tub and rebuild it. After it was torn out, we could

But our rule of thumb is to do our due diligence anytime we are buying or selling, regardless of age or condition of the property. We decided to go with Beyond Home Inspection. And we are so glad we did! Their prices were very reasonable and they offered a discount as the home was a new build. Our Inspector, Ken, showed up early and was extremely kind, professional and knowledgeable. He explained his inspection process, answered all questions and addressed the handful of concerns we had. Ken began the inspection on the exterior then moved to the interior. Ken diligently and throughly inspected every inch of our home. I was onsite during the inspection and as items surfaced, Ken explained in detail and in words I could understand potential issues and items that required attention. He provided us with a detailed analysis of our property the same day the inspection was completed with at included detailed information and multiple images, electronically. Ken is even drone trained and if he was unable to throughly inspect the roof, would have used a drone. Luckily, he was able to access all points thus it was not needed. Ken is extremely insightful and I could tell that he truly cared about our interests! I cannot say enough great things. We 100% recommend Ken of Beyond Home Inspection! Can't speak to any other inspectors but I definitely vouch for Ken! Money well spent!
