The report Ryan provided was clear, detailed, and with clear recommendations for necessary repairs. The report was accompanied by several pictures and videos, which was helpful.

Highly recommend, as this is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Worse than not getting an inspection done at all…read more Tom's inspection ended up costing me thousands of dollars in repairs immediately after closing. There was a major gas leak that should have been obvious. Here's how that went down: as soon as I walked into the property after closing, there was an intense gas smell. A technician from Xcel Energy came over to take a look, and found the gas leak on a pipe in the basement. The pipe was labeled, indicating someone had found that there was an issue years ago, but had decided to put the repairs off for later. Again: the pipes were *labeled* to demonstrate the issue, and Tom still somehow completely missed it. The pipes and water heater needed repairs due to the leak. This cost me over $1,100 right out the gate. The oven was also completely ruined by the leak, which is going to cost me hundreds more to replace. Not only that, but there were so many minor issues that should have been completely obvious. The doorbell was broken - an immediate red flag that the entire inspection was a lazy job, because how many seconds does it take to test that? Two? Many outlets aren't functional, making it clear that Tom didn't test any of them. What I received in my inspection report, instead of anything useful, was a list of minor cosmetic issues with the property - little scratches here and there, photographs of weeds growing in the backyard.

Never call these guys. Here is a list of things we discovered about our home within the first nine…read moremonths after closing. Things that passed inspection and that we were not warned about. - The wood under our kitchen sink completely warped and wet upon move in - The kitchen faucet leaking under the kitchen sink upon move in - The bathroom plumbing leaking under the bathroom sink move in - Wood rotted out in the kitchen window when windows were supposedly checked. - Wood rotted out in living room window that was only discovered after we asked at the end of inspection. - Bathroom fan missing vent pipe to existing vent leading to outside of the house. Small accumulations of mold associated with missing vent pipe. Attic inspection was supposedly performed. This is what we have discovered so far..

Scholze Home Inspections

Kory was referred to us by our realtor. Our appointment was 10:00 a.m. on Sept. 8th. I received a…read morecall at approximately 9:40 a.m, telling me Kory was almost finished with inspection. I dashed over. Kory was waiting for me and advised he had concluded the inspection. He went through his report, shared a few stories about the seller, who is a policeman approximately 55 years old, with a young wife/partner pregnant or just had a baby. The owner wanted to retire from police work, was an avid hunter, etc. He shared the roof was the original roof, and we should replace it in about 5 years. Well, this is the first time I had used a home inspector (used 5+) as both a seller and a buyer. It is also the first time that I was not allowed to participate in a walk-through with the inspector as a buyer. When he finally took occupancy, some items should have been noted. Both bathroom sinks needed repair because the pop-up bathroom sink drain actuator arms are broken off; the whole mechanism has to be replaced. There was a broken handle on the stove, and the garbage disposal had the guard cut out. The seriousness of this issue is because when using the disposal, everything shot back up and out. This could be serious if, by mistake, a fork or any object fell through this unguarded opening, which is entirely possible because it is one big opening. In all the inspections I have been involved in, things like this are mentioned, noted so the buyer and seller may have the option to discuss. We contacted Kory to express our dissatisfaction. His response was he doesn't include appliances; he notes if they "run." Kory implied I lied by stating I participated in the walkthrough, which, as mentioned earlier, he had completed the inspection before I arrived. Kory also denied having a personal relationship with the seller. Either way, what he shared about the seller was not appropriate to share. I don't care that the seller is a 55-year-old with a "young thing"/significant other he has impregnated several times. Very unprofessional. I would definitely not advise using his service as you never know what he may share with the buyer if you are the seller or vice versa.

This is for an inhouse sewage sump pump for our lower level. Here is a quote from their email... "then our materials or any business that sells materaisl has a mark up, ours is 55-65% (depending on the material , large items are a little less than smaller itmes such as fittings) so a little more double the actual cost of the materials is a good rule of thumb so your bill was 1750 600 in materials so 1400 there then the 300 an hour ( thats a minumum charge for a site visit) so thats where the 1750 came from" If the material was even marked up just 65% it would have only came to $990 not $1,400.

I contacted Coulee Region Ecoscapes (CRE) and they sent out a landscaping architect to assess my situation. A couple of weeks later I was presented with a full-color mitigation plan to repair the erosion damage and install landscaping features and native deep-rooting plants to slow the water drainage and retain the soil. We are selling our home and CRE was able to get us on their busy schedule in time to meet our closing and I could not be happier with the results of their work (kinda made us sad we were selling the house now with the beautiful landscaping job they did). I would recommend Coulee Region Ecoscapes to my friends and family in a heartbeat. My next-door neighbor was so impressed with my results, they are having CRE provide an estimate for some improvements they would like to make to their landscaping.

Mark visited my property at the time he said he would be there to prepare the tree removal quote. He gave me a date for the tree cutting and was on time and did the tree cutting work quickly and efficiently. The Limbwalker Tree Cutting Service men were friendly and easy to work with. They were careful to cut the trees and not damage my property or the lawn. The tree cutters did an amazing job with my complex tree cutting work, removing many large limbs of deadwood, and cutting down, hauling, and mulching several dead trees. Mark and his tree cutting crew cut a huge 110 foot white pine tree and a willow tree with a 6 foot stump. They completed the tree cutting quickly and efficiently and at a very reasonable price. The tree cutting crew cleaned up all the branches and raked the leaves up too. Mark Heinz at Limbwalker Tree Service and his tree cutting crew made sure the job was done right and I was happy with it. Mark provided a clear list of services and options. Mark was professional and explained everything before the work was to be done. Once I approved the work the job was scheduled and quickly completed. I was happy to see they cut the stumps as low as possible too. The clean up was amazing, surrounding plants looked untouched. I've had a lot of trees cut down in my yard and this was the first time I had tree cutters leave my yards that clean and surrounding plants that untouched. I was impressived and it shows pride in their work. Mark is very responsive to email and phone calls. They needed to very precise in cutting the 110 foot huge white pine tree down without damaging the neighbors fences, or my shed, and working around a power line. It was amazing to watch how efficiently they accomplished the tasks. The clean up of the branches and debris was outstanding. Extremely happy with the quality, timeliness and price of the job.
