Thank goodness our realtor recommended Michael Foschaar from All-American. He found duct work that was never connected properly in the first place. Even though this was not a structural issue it sure saved us money on heating and cooling!

These guys inspected a home we purchased and MISSED SOOO MUCH!…read more Incoming water pressure - 110 psi so now adding a prv - didnt check it Can't shut off house water wo shutting off irrigation -gotta fix that Didn't catch upside down insulation under the house - vapor barrier on the cold side. Didn't catch many electrical issues which we caught on walkthrough - inappropriate dimmers on 3-way switch etc. Didn't catch that the furnace had NOT been serviced and was full of water and plugged up. Siding needed full replacement - they said monitor for potential repair bc of a few cracks - painter wouldn't even paint it bc it was so bad $13K on that fix. Tub / shower valve leak in main bath Dishwasher hanging from top brackets bc no one adjusted the feet to touch the floor lol. Called out scratches on a window sill tho lol (thats critical/NOT) Now we have to question EVERYTHING - over $20K in repairs so far . . . Im literally scared to go on the roof - Im sure that will need replacing very soon. . . YES i HAVE the right company - I was the BUYER - inspection procured by the SELLER. Clearly all these things were missed and I am a licensed real estate broker. Clearly Idaho has a problem with inspectors like they do with contractors. Cameron Smith and Terri Horton - seems to match up! Furnace was repaired a year ago - a sticker showing someone serviced it doesn't mean it was actually previously serviced and according to temperature pro it has not been serviced in years. Why did I comment now? Just found out the incoming water pressure is off the charts - i went to the report - never checked. You can argue all you like but also have pics of upside down insulation (about 25 percent of it) which was done when the previous owner had a flood issue ... not caught at time of inspection . I flipped an 3-way switch - one worked and one didn't - I suspected wrong dimmer - yep. Not caught Arguing is not a good strategy - do a better job!

He suits up in what looks like hazmat gear to go under the house. He explores your house in places you didn't even know you had! He is also very personable and pleasant to be around. He answers questions and shows you the problem he talking about. One thing I really like is that he tells you what things are critical, what to keep your eye on, and what quirks are not a problem. Vince has been in business for a long time, and there is a good reason...he is great. Thanks Vince!

He got into all the crawl spaces, checked every light switch and outlet, ran every faucet, inspected every drain. He was thorough. And price wise he is great too. He came highly recommended from our realtor and after doing my own research I that showed she was right I went with him. I am so glad I did. After his inspection he spent an hour walking through with me showing me every little thing and explaining every aspect of the inspection. He gave me a complete print out with pictures and explanations of the problem areas. He even told me the best way to fix the couple problems he found. Overall he is a great inspector and should be your goto guy if you need an inspection done.

POOR, poor do NOT use. I am losing track of the things missed by this inspector. Report seemed a…read morebit questionable from the start as it seemed like there was more paperwork and ink spent on disclaimers for non responsibility than about the actual house. VERY obvious porch roof problem totally missed, when we pointed it out we were told they would fix it themselves. Contract for house expired because our house didn't sell, but we reopened negotiations on the same house and were assured by our realtor that repairs would be done. He also sent us the confirmation about that from Dan at Lighthouse. The day we did our walk through, we were informed that Dan would have nothing to do with it because it was on a previous contract and his insurance told him not to touch it. Other missed items include: dishwasher doesn't work correctly, knobs loose on Viking range, griddle on same range blasts flame out the back. cabinets in bathroom that have broken doors, half of a french door that won't open. ........ Just be advised that this business cares nothing about their customers or their customer service. Find a different inspection service. One that can actually find the faults on the house you are looking to buy.
