Dylan inspected a property for a buyer. The inspection was a farce. There were items on the report…read morethat was misinterpreted and clearly false. The property had been through a prior VA inspection, appraisal and village inspection - all passed. He disconnected the cameras during inspection and didnt reconnect. Sent my client into a frenzy. I went to property to verify his notes. I took pictures and videos of the items being operable. I believe a client deserves a full scope inspection, however the inspector should be qualified and be upheld to a professional standard. Not just collecting a fee. Do better....

Home inspector should be a professional that informs the buyer of any important defects of a home…read more Inspectrum FAILED and they JUST DON'T CARE. After I tried to communicate the issues, including water damage and mold, with the inspector, who allegedly communicated with one of the owners, all I received was a lengthy email explaining they did everything they could and I should eat up the cost fixing those issues myself. Baseboard with water damage in basement was behind the couch, but it's easy to found out with a peek over behind the couch during the inspection. When we ripped off the baseboard, there were about 25 ft drywall covered with mold. There were obvious yellow stain from water damage in the basement bedroom ceiling. It wasn't included in the report. Response was that it "did appear to be dry, and this most likely was a leaking issue from the kitchen island above, and should just be a matter of re-painting." It's your job to include those issues in the report. It's up to me whether I'm okay with them or want to negotiate some credit. It's a different story when those issues were simply not mentioned in the report. The water damage in the solid wood looked like the bottom of a pot that keeps plant. The baseboard next to that spot was also stained from water damage. Again, not included in the report and response was moving furniture was not allowed. Huh? There was no furniture covering the baseboard. There are random mold in the fridge and paint bubble in window sill. None was addressed in the report. So, what did I pay you almost $700 for?? I'm not paying for someone to tour around the house, but find issues that need to be fixed. If those were included, I may get some credit back. Not only did they deny their incompetence (of course, who will admit), but also not trying to fix their mistake by offering some of the credit. If you have money to waste on this company, go for it. I'd never bother or recommend them.

This home inspection company, specifically Philip, came out to inspect my home, paid for by clients…read morewho were considering purchasing it. I think a goal of a home inspection company should be to leave the home in the same condition as you found it, and this company failed in that respect. We were upset that they were so messy and disrespectful to our home. Just to name a few faults: they left eave doors open that should always be closed, as they were when they arrived. They obviously did not bring a ladder to inspect the drop ceiling/attic of the bathroom, so instead they used my tub as something to stand on and left a big muddy footprint on it, ceiling dust/little bits all over the floor and sink, and the ceiling tile askew. You would think if you make this mess b/c you couldn't bring a ladder, you would at least clean up after yourself! Also, they called our newer, unmistakable VINYL fence a 'wood fence' in the report; it's assuredly vinyl! We paid more for vinyl, not wood. Their talk of suspect asbestos tape in our duct work ruined the 1st bidder's deal and the 1st time buyers backed out. The 2nd home inspection by a different company, ordered by the bidders who ended up buying our property, never mentioned this tape or had one concern about it. (The 2nd home inspection company was respectful and nothing was left messy or out of place.) They labeled our A/C condenser unit as "old and at the end of its useful life". I have receipts and proof that Four Seasons installed a new brand A/C, condenser, and furnace for over $8,000 in May 2014, 5 years prior! Nothing is "old" about it! Please slow down with your inspections. Some things were correct but there were just too many mistakes to even count! And these mistakes can end up having huge implications!

When I reached out to Stephen he was incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. Then when…read moreI met with him at the property, he had already begun the inspection and immediately began showing me his findings and even provided recommendations for the type of contractors I may need. I was really surprised with his level of attention to detail, and how well the report was written up--which I received a day later! I also liked that it's possible to create a repair list from the online report to aid with negotiations. Stephen truly brought much needed insight and clarity to the condition of the home, this in turn made our decision easier. He provided much more value than who our lender recommended.

Tyler was also responsive with the questions we asked and had the insepction report out on the same day or early next day after the inspection.
