The Inspection Guys

In march of 2023, I hire dependable inspections to perform a home inspection on a house I was…read morepurchasing. They were easy to get a hold of, set the date, and showed up. After inspection the house, they only mentioned a few minor things needing attention, and the seller agreed to repair these small issues. I also had them come out and do an inspection after the items had been fixed, at an additional cost. After moving in I immediately had issues with some electrical stuff in the house, which on the report came back as all operational. Water heater was also leaking, which required immediate replacement. A few months in I keep finding more and more that was obviously overlooked on the home inspection, which has resulted in costly repairs. If you're in Pitt County area, I highly recommend using a different home inspector. I don't believe Dependable is dependable at all and not thorough at overlooking the homes correctly. I'd recommend rolling the dice with someone else, because it couldn't be much worse than this. Hopefully this helps someone out in the future. I will not be recommending or using them again!

They said they had to come out to take a look and the cost was $125 JUST TO GET AN ESTIMATE! I come from a family of plumbers (they don't live in the area), I had a picture of the wall, I knew the existing pipes were pex. I texted my master plumber kbrother what I needed and a picture for a ball park estimate of what he would charge and he texted me back a price in 30 secs. What a load of C#$^@! Why should I have to pay them to give them my business!!! So I pay $125 for them to give me an estimate on non urgent work, then I decide their price is too high and I'm out $125 for what?! Just call someone else. This is a terrible customer service premise. I can see exactly how they feel about their community. I am still so angry that I spent the extra energy just to give them a bad review. My family never did business this way.

They've installed a garbage disposal, 3 toilets, and cleared clogged sink and shower drains. Also to their credit, I've never had to call them back to work on anything they've installed. Very accommodating with scheduling and called me back earlier than expected to get my work scheduled. I highly recommend using Eastern Plumbing if you're in need of a plumber.

The…read morecustomer service was friendly and informative from the start- the person who answered the phone took her time to explain her services and the person who shows up to spray is just as nice. What prompted this original inquiry? We have lived in New Bern for a year. Last summer, we moved from NYC, excited to finally have a yard, only to be met with an army of mosquitos.. I'm talkin' 15 minutes on the porch meant 30 bites. So we spent a lot of the summer avoiding them and staying inside. This summer, our toddler went out to play and came back with 15 massive bites and that was our tipping point. After the first mosquito treatment we've noticed a huge difference. They come every three weeks and guarantee 95% effectiveness. From what we've seen so far, they have delivered on that. I've recommended this company to all our local friends, they're that good!

I had previously worked with another company and was dissatisfied with their work, so I called…read moremosquito joe to compare pricing, protocol, etc. to my surprise they were less expensive than the first company I worked with, more flexible with their payment terms, and treated my yard more often. Their services are extremely effective. I went ahead and paid in full for the next year I love them so much. Not a skeeter in sight and the fire ants are finally gone too!!! Mosquito joe accomplished in 1 visit what the other company had yet to accomplish in 2. Very impressed. They also call the day before service and text once they are done so I know to keep my dogs inside for the hour following treatment. I'm thrilled to be able to enjoy my back yard again! Thank you mosquito joe of ENC!

Julio and Candace came out, and we discussed siding for the dormers, aluminum trim for 27 windows, new shutters, new gutters, fascia, and soffits.
