I highly recommend you look elsewhere…read more They failed to report two conditions that were plainly visible from accessible areas. One was a sewer cleanout penetration in the foundation block that was left completely open, an obvious bulk-water path (daylight visible from crawlspace) which led to structural rot. The other defect was a large portion of the tall end of the attic where cardboard was used in place of sheathing, which now I have bugs, moisture, and repairs to deal with. After finding these issues I reached out to them. My experience with management after that was in my opinion, a case study in avoidance, blame-shifting, and zero accountability. On the phone I was told maybe it "washed out later," that things were "nearly completely obstructed," and that there was "garbage and shrubs blocking the view." None of those limitations were documented at the time of the inspection at those locations. Then came the kicker: they offered me a refund, but only on the condition that I sign a broad gag/confidentiality release that restricts honest public reviews and complaints. Of course I didn't accept that, I offered a narrow, non-gag release. They declined. This isn't about "finding every problem." It's about reporting obvious, visible defects or clearly stating specific access limits where you didn't/couldn't inspect at the time, not AFTER the fact. The company's posture felt smug, adversarial, defensive, and accountability-averse. If you value professionalism, accountability and transparency, consider this experience before choosing an inspector. My opinion: a professional inspection should either report visible, readily accessible defects or document specific limits where they could not. That didn't happen here. Their response with after-the-fact excuses and the insistence on a gag release felt smug and dismissive, not customer-focused. They got really creative with the colorful excuses, Brad (management I'm assuming) tried telling me that the sheathing was actually "underneath the cardboard", despite my pictures showing otherwise. He also said "we don't have our guys get involved in any of the mud in the crawlspaces". This was not a flooded or particularly muddy crawlspace. I heavily regret having gone with this company. I filed a chargeback with my bank. I'm happy to share photos and emails with anyone considering using them.

Buying a new house is a stressful time, especially in 2020-2021. You want to make sure you're…read moremaking a good investment and the right decision. Having a good inspector is very important to understand and to learn about the property in question as it can uncover some serious issues with the house, help negotiate a better deal, or simply provide peace of mind. I researched a few different companies in the area and decided to go with Security Home Inspections. The office staff was very responsive and answered all my questions. From the price perspective they were not overly expensive, but weren't the cheapest either. What's also convenient, they do radon, infrared, and sewer cam (some other firms don't and you have to schedule multiple inspections with different people) and we actually uncovered some tree roots in the sewer line before closing, which helped us negotiate. Overall, our inspector was punctual, friendly, and thorough. He invited us to look at every issue he had found and explained how severe it was and what needed to be done in order to remediate it. Our report was done the next day and as a bonus we got the appliance recall subscription. All in all, I'm happy I went with Security Home Inspections and I feel more confident about our home purchase decision. I'd definitely recommend this company to anyone in the area.

He was extremely thorough with his inspection and was happy to answer any detailed questions along the way. He is a great communicator, providing regular updates via text, email, or whatever means works for you, and readily available to answer any questions you may have. We had an aggressive timeline to turn around the report and he worked with us to ensure we had what we needed to make our deadline. He was also very open to answering any questions once we received the report. I was extremely happy with the service Mark provided and would recommend to anyone looking for a quality home inspection.

So I hired Mark to do an inspection on a house I'm looking to buy because when I was trying to sell…read moremy late aunts house he was the guy that inspected it and it was so thorough that it cost me quite a bit of money. That's what you would want in an inspection right? Well he came an physically did the inspection after having to reschedule due to ex wife problems. I get it, I have an ex wife and their plans are always more important than anything else in the world. He came and did the inspection and told me the inspection report should be done that night or early the next day. Noon the next day comes around and nothing so I text him "do we have an eta on the report yet"? He responds with he had to go to the hospital for whatever. You can ask him if you really want to know why, but he was at home and working on it and it will be done in a coupke hours.​ Keep in mind it's now Wednesday and I have a deadline of saturday. 5 o'clock on Wednesday and still nothing so I text again "do we have an eta?"...no response. My realtor texts him...no response. I call and no answer, my wife calls and no answer. I should disclose, I paid him in cash when he was done with the inspection. It's now 9 o'clock on Wednesday and he has ducked every text or call we have made so I hope he enjoys my money because now I've had to hire another inspector and pay him too. So I hope your "business" works out for you. (It wont). I understand things come up and am generally pretty forgiving but I'm on a time crunch and at the least he could respond and let me know what's going on but it's pretty obvious he's just stealing my money so I hope $350 is worth karma.
