I HIGHLY recommend him inspecting your home!

Claiming they may or may not come for the appointment. Very rude! Edit: They offered to come out today, when asked what time they said after noon. Asked to be given a call an hour before so I can make arrangements and head over to meet them, but was told "we'll call you if we are coming out". Why suggest an appointment that you cannot confirm? Unacceptable. Also, asked to to speak to another person in regards of the situation and were told the person was in surgery, yet here we are getting a reply from the owner within a few minutes. Got to do better!

I am currently selling a house (non occupied). The buyers employed Five Bugle to perform a home…read moreinspection. The inspection report was overall OK and somewhat fair, albeit more familiarization/experience with area would answer some of their own critiques. My criticism comes from the actions of the inspector. The following 4 items I believe showed a lack of respect and overall disregard for someones property: 1. Inspector locked the shed door during inspection. Shed is located in a locked fenced in back yard. There is no key to the shed door, nor did they inform me that this happened. I found this when I went to mow the grass and could not get into the shed to retrieve the lawn mower. I ended up having to force the door open, which caused some damage to the door frame just to gain access. Door should have been left as it was found. 2. There was a 4 pack of spare light bulb in the closet. Inspector used all 4 light bulb, which was unnecessary, and discarded card board box on living room window sill. Bulbs should have been put back in box and returned to closet when finished. 3. Since home is not occupied, the breaker for the outside dusk/dawn lights was shut off in the breaker box. Inspector turned breaker back on and left it on. A week went by before I found this. I was attempting to save a little money by not using exterior, unnecessary lighting when home is not being occupied. Breaker should have been left in the same position after inspection as it was before inspection. 4. Inspector walked on roof and inspected gutters. inspector pulled debris out of gutters and threw to ground which splattered mud all over back of house and (white) screen door. Inspector did not clean up mess he created. Extreme lack of respect. I called Five Bugle Inspection to inform them of issues. Call went to voice mail. I explained what had happened, left my name and phone number and requested a call back. That was 3 days ago and have yet to receive a phone call. Overall, I think the inspector acted unprofessional and without regard for someone elses belongings. Please leave the house in the same or better condition than when you found it. If there is a question as to the condition of something please pick up a phone and ask.

He is thorough, prompt and so nice. He went through and explained the things he saw with us and made sure we had a clear understanding of what he was doing. Our home is in Valpo so he isn't limited to just CP. He also performed a water test as our home is well water. His services were also the MOST reasonable out of all the options (we looked at 6+). Because of his excellent work, we feel confident in our home purchase. You just can't get any better than Greg at Five Bugle!

Finally showed up at 6pm, no big deal things happen. Seemed like a nice guy so the wife and I talked it over after he left and decided that we would go with his company. I texted him the next day which was a Saturday asking him to call me when he had a chance, he called 15 minutes later and I told him the news. He said that he was working that day and would stop by between 3pm and 4pm. We waited around for him and he finally called me at 6:30pm to tell me he would not be able to make it. I understand that things happen but he could have le us know with a text or something so we did not sit around waiting for nothing. He apologized and said that he had nothing to do Sunday that he can come over to get deposit and sign contract. We agreed that he would call me about 12pm. Still haven't heard from him.

He found some issues that needed attention and some things that might ultimately need work. However, after I had moved into the unit, I had a handyman do some work on replacing the dishwasher drain. While the handyman was here, he volunteered to look at some of my appliances. When he opened the washing machine, he found dark black mold on the rubber inside the machine. I brought this to Shawn's attention, and he wrote, "In regards to the washing machine and dryer. We simply test for proper operation to ensure that the water lines and drain lines work for the washing machine. Since these are considered personal appliances these aren't covered by the inspectors SOPs." (I assume he meant Standard Operating Procedures). I had to pay over $600 to have the rubber lining replaced. Needless to say, Shawn did not offer to reimburse me for that expenses.
