He told me and I quote "your roof will last forever". Thanks a lot Jake! I would have loved if at the time he told me he didn't know anything about slate roofs and to contact someone who did. In the report he notes that my roof just needs typical slate maintenance, not that the whole roof was completely compromised and needed replaced. He should have never agreed to inspect my house if he knew nothing about slate.I also want to clarify that the roof was not the only thing that Jake didn't catch on the inspection. I would stay far away from these guys as they can't even own up to bad work. Shame on you, Jake.

I was referred to keystone building inspections by my realtor at the time and I couldn't imagine…read morehow much I would regret utilizing their services. Maria set us up for a home inspection and radon test to be done in October on a home we were planning to purchase. I was told Dan Kelly the inspector would be there at 1PM that day. When I arrived Dan was already in the home with the seller of the property. They were already conserving about the work the owner did in the home and being shown around. Bear in mind I arrived on time for the appointment. Dan proceeded to walk around the home and constantly commented on how nice the home was and talked about a cabin he purchased. Things quickly went downhill from there. Dan was too busy talking with the homeowner to notice major issues that I needed to point out with the home. It felt more like a social gathering than a service that I paid for. Dan noticed there was some water coming in through the garage wall and took out a direct contact moisture detector to confirm. That led to us looking at the concrete pad outside which he noted was sloping towards the house (a waterproofing professional with a level proved it was not sloping towards the house). Dan went upstairs to check out the attic space. He was unwilling to go past his shoulders into the attic space and was unable to determine if anything was damaged or in need of repair. Later Maria lied to me stating Dan used a moisture detector in the attic but could not have been true as he never entered the attic and the moisture detector he had was a direct contact only. Dan briefly walked around the outside of the house and then left. He spent a total of 45 minutes on location. This was not nearly enough time for him to fully inspect a home as many things were missed. I found out that the homeowner replaced the roof himself prior to the inspection. There were visible issues with shingles popping and questionable ventilation of the attic. When I asked Maria about why Dan did not inspect the roof she stated that he did so with high power binoculars. When I questioned her further about the popping shingles she said got very defensive and offered to send Dan back out to finish the inspection. I opted to have a roofer come out to look at it as Dan was unprofessional and not thorough. As a result of Dan's inability or lack of ambition in his work led to me bringing out many other professionals to find additional issues with the home that easily would have been spotted if Dan would have spent more than 45 minutes at the home and looked at the home rather than conversing about his camp and with the homeowner. Maria repeatedly called me trying to explain all the problems but had so poor phone reception that she could not complete a simple conversation. For perspective I used another home inspector for a home of the same square footage and that inspector spent over 2 hours and took time to explain to me different problems and provided a very professional report following the inspection. Weeks after I tried to contact MAria numerous times and she refused to communicate. With so many home inspection options in the Pittsburgh area I would strongly advise to avoid Dan and Maria. They are unprofessional and will outright lie to you as they assume people don't know anything about the inspection tools they use. And for some reason you decide to enlist their services, do yourself a favor and not allow him to chum it up with the current owner as he will take what they say as fact and ignore an actual inspection of a property. Maria, without admitting any fault, offered to refund me for part of the inspection cost given that I sign a no fault disclosure stating that I would not tell anyone about the manner in which the inspection was conducted. That was angering as I would rather not receive the money to warn others to stay away from Keystone Building Inspections.

On Saturday 9/28/24, we had a roofer come out to provide an estimate on recommended repairs per the home inspection report, during this inspection, the attic was found to be wet with many rotting or rotten boards, wet insulation, etc., necessitating a new roof ASAP. Wednesday 10/2/24, our new roof was installed, this was an unforeseen expense, as we thought we'd have at least a year or two to save and prepare for that purchase. Additionally, I asked Tony Lupinacci for recommendations on a plumber, electrician and roofer, all of these recommendations aside from Poillucci Plumbing have been a bust. We had an appointment with Bronson roofing for 9/25/24, they no call no showed on us 9/25/24 and have failed to return any of my calls to date. Electrician Rob Sumpman came out and looked at the issues 9/25/24. I had not heard from him until 10/4/24 when he informed me I would receive an email estimate from him tonight, as of now, I finally received an estimate from him 10/7/24, however we went with someone else because he took so long to get back to us. I emailed this information to Tony Lupinacci 10/4/24 with no response. 100% WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Randy Payne was known for his thoroughness and the accuracy of his reports, and we were buying a house remotely and needed an honest and thorough eval. We let him know that there was a tight timeline toward closing on the house, and he jumped right on it, which was appreciated. We could tell that by the report we got, which made us very comfortable, knowing what parts of the house needed addressing, but also which parts we didn't have to worry about at all. That paved the way for the purchase with a lot less anxiety. So we'd highly recommend Randy Payne and his inspection service.

When speaking with Sharon, she was very friendly and explained the entire process and their services in detail -- way more detail than the other companies had, which instilled a great deal of confidence. During the inspection, which lasted almost three hours, the Diamond employees were polite, personable, and went to great lengths to explain what they were looking at, what they were doing, and what they were seeing -- and what the possible issues could be. They were knowledgeable, thorough, and even offered various maintenance tips that I greatly appreciated. Buying a home is one of the biggest investments an individual can make, and having a company that you trust and that can provide a comprehensive inspection is paramount. Diamond identified several significant issues that I never would have seen or known on my own. Bottom line -- they truly care about the customer and ensuring you are armed with all of the information you need to make an educated decision about the home you'd like to purchase. I highly recommend them for any home inspection.

Well, here's one more because Tim is a rockstar. My wife and I are first time homebuyers and the process of finding a quality inspector was daunting to say the least. I found Tim as a recommendation on a Pittsburgh Reddit post. Having worked in sales for over 20 years, his website was what sold me initially. "When - and if - you speak to my competitors, you'll notice some of them practice the "High Pressure Sales Pitch." They'll dance around your original question: "HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE." They don't want to let you off the phone until they've made a sale. I don't believe in that: I'll answer ALL of your questions, and if you want to call me back later, that's fine with me." Tim was very communicative about the process, offered discounts for bundling inspections and paying cash. The day of he explained everything thoroughly as neither of us know anything about the structure and quality of a house. His report was color coded and very detailed. We knew what was urgent, what needed to be fixed in the future, and what would be normal upkeep. He answered every one of my questions and was patient with me. It is beyond evident that Tim loves what he does and that shows in his work. He didn't scare us but rather prepared us. He also recommended Joe Blume for a sewer and drain inspection and we trusted recommendation. They are a great team and we're so glad we trusted them to help us with this process. We're glad we could support a small business owner and if we ever buy another house, Tim will definitely be our go-to inspector. Don't think twice, Tim is THE inspector you want. THANK YOU, TIM!!
