I wish this review was different and it hurts me to write this but I hope it helps. Bill the owner…read moremissed "Significant" issues with my condo inspection. It is a rare circumstance a boiler that switches over to a cooling system in summer. I would think a inspector would be curious about unknown things or at minimum suggest to have it further inspected by an expert. He missed to many other things too many to list, he did come back and fix many of the issues he missed. To say he was having an off day would be an understatement. The bottom line is the condo is a restoration project with walls down in 4 rooms. I can not move into and is taking months & extra resources before I can move into. IF Bill the Inspector HAD BEEN THOUGH in his inspection I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT this condo that he gave an approval at the end of his inspection verbally.

We hired him, and he basically just collected a check for us for nothing. Scott, who was our inspector, who I wouldn't even recommend to my worst enemy didn't do anything. He said the hot water heater was old, but still functional. My plumber came through after we bought the house and said the valve was too rusted to even turn it on, so there was no way to even know if the water heater was functional (lie #1). In the report he said all the windows were inaccessible to test functionality (paper across the bottom half held by painter's tape so people couldn't look in while it was under renovation. Laziness/lie #2). Didn't catch that the gas line to the stove in the kitchen wasn't up to code. Mentioned that a couple outlets weren't GFCI but were labeled as such, but didn't say anything about how 14 outlets were wired incorrectly and a fire hazard (caught by my plumber lol, and affirmed and fixed my by electrician). Didn't mention that the dryer outlet was out of date and a fire hazard. He basically showed up, hung out for an hour, and collected $700. I understand all inspectors make sure to tell you that they aren't liable for anything, but he literally missed over a dozen issues that cost me $10,000 in repairs once I moved into a house that I thought was updated and in great shape.

He looked below a superficial problem and found a root cause that was more than we wanted to take on. He found and explained some things we never could have anticipated. That did lead us to choose a different house. We requested him as the inspector of that house and were completely satisfied with his findings and continued on to purchase the house having peace of mind. He really explains things well, is professional and has a very nice and friendly demeanor. And the fact he will come back out anytime to relook at your house and give advice is priceless! He truly goes above and beyond. I would recommend him to anyone needing an inspection.

He was friendly and helpful, and we set something up right away. Michael's credentials cannot be beat!! He is more experienced than any other inspector we considered using. He is also certified to inspect wells and septics. I knew I was in good hands at all times. Michael and Marcus walked me through the inspection, and helped me understand everything. They took their time with me, answering all my questions, and making sure I felt completely comfortable with their explanations. They made sure to explain to me what needed to be repaired and by when (e.g.., which repairs were higher priority repairs). They were very friendly and encouraged us to contact them after the inspection if we had ANY questions. Extremely professional, extremely courteous, and most importantly - EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I received the report that same day. I mean it when I say that I will not trust any other inspectors! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Michael and Marcus!

I dont think he even got out of his car , he apparently never lifted the septic tank lid or he would have known the failing condition of the tank and field. I have a 20 thousand dollar repair and he doesnt have any liability to his inspection reports. His paper work states in case of law suit he is only liable for the 500.00 he took to perform the inspection. Beware of this Hack job scammer who calls himself a inspector and shame on oakland county for letting people like this operate.
