After hearing that our friend had a great experience, we decided to work with Eagle Inspections…read moreourselves for our first-time homebuying process. We had the opportunity to work with Chris in our property. The entire process was seamless, from booking an appointment, the invoice, and the day-of procedure. Chris arrived early to capture the exterior documentation (i.e., front/back entrances, roof, facade) and greeted my partner and I with warmth and good humor. We examined each part of our future home, and Chris was very helpful with answering our questions and sharing context when weren't familiar with certain issues. It's clear he was knowledgeable and reassured us that we would be in good hands on closing day. After the inspection, you receive an in-depth report with assessments on the areas of improvement, concerns, and general status reports. I think he did a great job "looking for trouble," keeping us notified of how to be proactive should any maintenance is needed. Eagle Inspections was great to work with, and should definitely be considered in any home-buying process.

I recently had two disappointing experiences with my "first time home buying" inspection service…read more The first inspection for the new home indicated everything was fine, but after taking my contractor he discovered serious electrical and roofing issues, leading to my cancellation and a loss of $1,000. I gave the company another chance for my next inspection, where a different technician completed the job in under half an hour, assuring me everything was okay. However, after moving in, I found that the water line is missing its metal lid, the HVAC system was missing a pump that caused a flood in my basement and I had to hire a plumber for drainage issues. After spending $2,300 total with "Eagle Inspection", I realized I should have invested in inspection training instead. When I contacted the company about my concerns, I was promised a callback but never received one. I wouldn't recommend this company unless you already have inspection knowledge.

Everything was a seamless process - from scheduling to the inspection to the quick report delivery and follow-up questions from us. John is an excellent inspector who is dedicated to his craft. He was very thorough in the inspection and delivered our 115 page report detailing all the ins and outs of the home less than a day after the inspection. He also did a great job of making sure we understood everything and the key priorities, so we didn't get overwhelmed by all the details. We were nervous about the home inspection but working with John gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that we were able to vet our home properly by a detailed-oriented and unbiased inspector! Would definitely recommend.

We were able to use his detailed report to guide our negotiation with the seller which made the transaction easier to complete.

I would use Shane again and recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in New Jersey.

I don't have enough good things to say about Shane! Our realtor recommended him. First off you…read moremight notice if you speak to them at the office or read up on the company that Shane is the only inspector, this is not a corporate business - this means savings! Shane beat the prices of the two other inspectors I requested quotes from and I was even able to get the infrared imaging to check the walls for moisture and whatnot. The inspection itself was super thorough, the inspection report was also very detailed and you can see a sample report on his website of what you will be getting from him. You can even create a list of items using the website the report is on and it is very easy to do, which you can send to the seller to request to be fixed before you agree on the price. We ended up saving a lot of time and money by sending this list over to the seller. Shane really looked into every crevice of the home, and by walking around with him he gave us some very good advice about what will cost a lot to fix and should be done professionally, and what we could probably do ourselves very cheaply. He also gave us some information in general that would be nice to know about your new home, such as pointing out where the electrical panels and water shutoff valves are. We even got a little book at the end about being a home-owner and things you should know when you own a home. We had actually been able to view two inspection reports on the same home from previous buyers that fell through, and Shane's inspection report caught a lot more things than the other two reports. If for some reason we ever need an inspector in the future we know we will call Shane first.

I would confidently recommend Stephen to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy inspector.

Before becoming a home inspector I spent many years as a home improvement contractor. I've had experience in every facet of building and repairing a home. In my "later years", quite a lot of my work was for home sellers and realtors resolving many of the issues that were discovered in a home inspection. This background has provided me with an insight that many home inspectors just do not have. I take my responsibility very seriously and promise to inspect your home as if one of my daughters was the buyer! In addition to home inspections I also provide Radon testing and Termite inspections.

When he arrived, he really took the time to listen to our concerns and even asked to see some photos to get a better idea of what we were dealing with. After taking a look, he explained that the issue was actually outside the scope of what he usually inspects. But instead of just walking away, he stuck around, explained everything clearly, and gave us some super helpful advice. You can tell John really knows his stuff. He was professional, honest, and didn't try to sell us on anything unnecessary. In fact, he insisted on not charging us, saying he likes to "sleep peacefully at night." That says a lot about his character. He even sent us detailed suggestions on how to handle the problem--what kind of work would be needed, the materials to use, and even what kind of handyman to look for. He also gave us a few referrals to get started. We were originally planning a much more expensive fix, but thanks to his knowledgeable advice, we are able to switch to a more practical option and hence cut the cost in half. We really appreciate his honesty and guidance. He is the kind of handyman you would like to work with, especially for people like us after working with various dishonest handman/plumbers...He is definitely someone we'd trust and would go to for our future home improvement projects.

Just a quick update to my previous review written on 9/26/2021…read more First, NOTHING HAS CHANGED about the positive review I wrote about John's services, however after some time has passed since we first met John, I do want to add that John is absolutely and truly one of those people who keeps his promise of "feel free to reach out to me in the future and I will get back to you on it". Despite having completed our home inspection many months ago, as we settled into our home, we realized small things here and there that we didn't notice earlier. Every time we encountered something new, we thought any one of these questions - What can be causing this? How did this happen? How can we fix this? Will this cost much? Is this a small or big problem? The bottom line was where do we go from there?! ... JOHN to the rescue! Every time we had a question, not often, but the few times we did, we took John up on his generous offer of reaching out to him and, NOT ONCE, did John fail to respond within 1 day! Not only has John been extremely cordial and professional with every communication we had with him, but he takes the time to write out detailed, technical and specific instructions on how we could resolve our home issues. Honestly, we would be so lost without his guidance and advice, but he has made our transition into our home less stressful. Like I said in my earlier review, John was recommended by our realtor and we truly believe this was, hands down, the BEST recommendation out of all of the recommendations we received.

The inspection these people did of my recently deceased mom's house just unfairly cost me the sale…read moreof the house. The report was filled with speculation about possible problems that don't exist. My 89 year old mom religiously maintained the house as well as any in the neighborhood. After presenting their massive report to the buyers they demanded $40,000 from me to address "some" of the problems. They convinced the buyers there were many structural problems in the foundation and the walkways which would lead to water in the basement. In over 60 years my parents owned the house not one drop of water ever leaked onto the basement floor, yet they painted a picture of imminent flooding after 60 years of a spotlessly dry basement. No, the structure of this house is sound. They claim the walkway has a negative pitch leading toward the house and should be repaired to "reduce water entry into the structure". This walkway is original to the house and water has never entered the basement. The walkway they claim needs to be repaired because it's dangerous has miraculously never hurt the 7 of us who lived there and the ~2,000 people who have visited those 60 years. They might think they're showing their worth by creating a document giving the buyers an opportunity to drastically reduce the price of the house but it didn't work. We told the buyer we aren't fools, we won't play this game and now they need to look for a new home after expecting to close in 3 weeks.This "inspection" company ought to be ashamed of themselves for scaring the buyer away from a wonderful home.
