I'm honestly disappointed. The inspection felt thorough at the time, but after moving forward we…read morediscovered clear and visible damage along the baseboards consistent with long-term moisture or pet-related issues that were not mentioned at all in the report. This was not hidden damage -- it was visible once baseboards were removed and should have at least been flagged for further evaluation. It's now costing us significant time and money to properly remediate. I also tried reaching out to discuss this and request a reinspection, but never received a response, which was even more frustrating. Based on this experience, I wouldn't hire again.

For me it was perfect to talk to him on the phone, then read the highlights, then read the full report once I had time. Chad was eager and willing to answer questions, even days or weeks after the report, which was very helpful.

We first hired Steel Rhino Property Inspections to inspect an older house we were hoping to buy. We…read more knew the house needed some minor repairs but wanted a "professional eye" to assess the home for hidden damage. Our general inspector Matt W. painstakingly inspected every area of the home from the attic to the cracked driveway, turning on vents, looking under eaves, climbing on the roof, and checking window seals. Within 2 hours of completing his inspection, he provided a detailed, written report of his findings with a lot of standard photos and thermal imaging photos. With his report came peace of mind that the house we were buying was a great find with no hidden damage that could later prove to be costly. Matt was detail oriented, and alerted us of both immediate safety issues and preventative measures to take in order to prevent issues in the future. He was more than willing to take the time to make sure we understood his report to the fullest. Patrick J. performed our sewer inspection, and his professionalism and commitment to his clients is top notch! He did a camera inspection and also shared the video to support his findings and recommendations. Patrick took the time to make sure that his report was fair to both sides and accurate, he even consulted a master plumber for second opinion on the recommended solutions for this difficulty case. Our agent was so impressed that she would use Patrick herself in the future. We were very pleased with Steel Rhino Property Inspections and HIGHLY recommend Matt and Patrick to other home buyers!

Our first inspection by Scott's was excellent. Extremely detailed & in depth. That's why we came…read moreback. The most recent one was a different story. The inspector seemed to gloss over many things & tried to downplay issues without evidence. We were called prior & told our inspector would take only two hours to finish an inspection that normally takes longer -- I think he glossed over many things as a result. Specifics we found after moving in that a visual inspection should have caught: * An interior door on the second floor with visible crack/damage from being forced. The report says interior doors were tested. This one isn't noted anywhere. * Mouse droppings under the kitchen sink -- a cabinet he opened & photographed -- & elsewhere in the home. No mention in the report. We now have an active rodent problem we didn't know about at closing. * The front door handle sticks & fights you when unlocking. Entry door locks & latches are explicitly listed as inspected in his own report. On top of that, three window coverings fell off the wall the first time we pulled the cords. Technically outside inspection scope -- but it speaks to the overall condition of a house we were told had basically nothing wrong with it. The in-person review made it worse. We were told there was basically nothing wrong with the house, & our questions were treated as an inconvenience. He seemed annoyed, arrogant & unkind. When asked, he explicitly said he didn't see evidence of mice -- verbally & on the report -- leading me to believe he was lazy & sped through it. Not characteristics of a great inspector. His own report lists 59 maintenance items & 8 repair recommendations -- so the verbal summary & the written report told two different stories. When I hire an inspector, I'm more impressed by people who are nit picky than forgiving. This is a huge purchase so I prefer someone who's kind, willing to take the time to make sure he doesn't miss anything at all & looks out for us. There are less expensive inspectors out there who are less forgiving than Scott's was this time around. I pay for anal retentive. That was not my experience. Worst of all? I asked for a refund & they flat out refused. It's possible they could do the same for you. I don't think we'll use Scott's ever again. I wouldn't recommend them & ESPECIALLY not Todd Brualdi for inspection services. I'm disappointed in Scott's leadership. Once upon a time, (in my opinion) it felt like a well ran firm that cared about their clients. That's not my opinion, anymore.

Jim inspected a home for my wife and I. When setting up the inspection the communication from Steel Rhino was clear and easily understood. The fee for the inspection was understood from the onset and the only thing that changed was adding an asbestos test at our request during inspection. Jim was not only on time but early the morning of inspection. He wore a mask during the entire inspection as well as booties to keep the floors as clean as possible. He is extremely organized and knowledgeable and answered a multitude of questions I had. His employee who did the sewer line inspection was very efficient and easy to understand in the video he took of the sewer scope. Make sure to use Steel Rhino Inspections as this is a first class company that takes education and inspections seriously for residential and commercial properties.
