Even though…read morewe thought we would need to re-schedule, Eric was able to be flexible in terms of letting us do so or was able to give us a refund -- whatever would work best for us! While conducting the inspection we were able to ask questions and he was able to answer them to the best of his ability and also provided us with some fantastic first time home ownership tips. Afterwards, he got the report back to us in a timely manner and it was quite easy to understand and was very informative. I would definitely recommend that you reach out for any of your inspection needs. Extra stars for being able to communicate through email, text, and phone!

Two of those house were spent in the basement reviewing the heating, plumbing, etc.. Once he noticed the water trap had been adjusted, he suggested that we snake the sewer line to check the condition of the pipe. We ended up finding a broken (but semi-functioning) pipe! His recommendation saved us thousands down the road. The report he compiled is extremely detailed. It's something I plan to read, re-read, and reference for years to come. On top of pointing out serious potential issues around the home, Paul offers excellent advice for fixing up the little odds and ends that won't derail a sale, but will be easy fixes once we own the property. Thanks, Paul!

My personal opinion would be to stay away…read more This guy will not tell you how much things will cost. Nickels and dimes on travel charges. Is a BIG talker and charges you by the hours. He is also incredibly rude to his wife and dog. On a call with him I think thought I was on mute and he yelled like crazy person at his dog and wife to shut up. I was very offended. My opinion is the other reviews had to be friends. No way would I use this guy.

Mike is very knowledgeable and detailed when explaining code violations and providing recommendations.

At the time of the inspection, he was punctual, thorough, friendly, clearly and satisfactorily answered all of our questions, and was able to complete the inspection efficiently, even with the sellers present at the property at the time. His report arrived by email within 48 hrs. and was clear, concise, and gave us the information needed to move forward with negotiations with the sellers in the short time frame that we had available. We had an excellent experience working with Michael and would definitely recommend him!

The bullet: Green Mountain Property Inspections makes your property purchase its priority, both in…read moreaction and in education. The long version: I have dealt with numerous property inspectors, both as a customer and as an attorney counseling my clients, in decades of practice. Many offer detailed inspection reports, others offer convenient service and timely performance, and others still offer to guide the prospective buyer through the property to educate them. Few offer to do all of these while also communicating effectively and clearly. Lucian Benway of Green Mountain Property Inspections is one of these rare inspectors. Lucian's inspection process is equal to those of inspectors with decades of experience: Start with the critical infrastructure (heating, electrical, etc.), directly inspect the interior and exterior of the entire property, or (as with rooftops) with a drone, and outline any concerns along the way with the customer. Lucian takes copious notes, photographs, and video, all of which he uses to great effect when he tenders his final report. This report is more than a summary of the property, it is an itemized guide for repairs and improvements in both the short and long term; Lucian understands that a property purchase may require tolerating some issues, but you may still wish to address them in the future. Beyond his competence and communication, Lucian is a professional: On a recent transaction Lucian gracefully handled a last minute cancellation due to missteps by the listing agent. He could have complained about the disruption to his schedule, and he could have billed the client for the cancelled inspection, Instead, he waived any fee and committed to a new inspection date with no issue. For all of this, I refer my real estate clients to Lucian without reservation or hesitation, and you should, too.

Lots of ancient frozen valves in plumbing lines. ...I really can't discourage hiring this company enough

Detailed, polite, courteous, thorough, prompt and highly organized...Bruce did a great job and really had some good tips and insight for a first-time home buyer like myself. Case in point, he consistently explained the benefits and costs of energy efficiency, and what kinds of things were (in his opinion) worth the invenstment.

Mike Schirmer came highly recommended to me and I am thankful that he was. As this is an extremely busy season for property sales, he answered my voicemail within a couple hours and asked me some great questions to understand my needs. He explained the process and then we scheduled the next available spot for the inspection, a couple weeks from that call. He arrived on time and got to task immediately, He knows that I have severe mold allergies and had issues with my prior home. He made sure to thoroughly check the home for such issues. He also took detailed pictures of anything he felt needed to be repaired and by whom (owner or HOA) per the bylaws. In addition to his reporting, he explained every electronic outlet, fixture, explained how the water softener works and how to replace the filter and salts, where the water pressure valve was and how to use it. He gave me suggestions on making the home more energy efficient and suggested calling Efficiency Vermont and GMP to get best deals and rebates on upgrades. The detailed report he sent to me included high quality images with details on each image. I have attached one of those here. I cannot emphasize what a sincere pleasure it is to work with Mike. His guidance and sharp eye for details is invaluable.

I was even in my rental unit working on other projects while he was doing some of the work and he was giving me helpful tips outside the scope of his work. He also worked on the weekend to make sure he got the job done when I needed it - there were some unexpected surprises when I tore up the laminate tiles to expose the original hardwood underneath that took the job longer than originally expected. Would definitely recommend.
