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 reference, we had a standard home inspection, sewer scope, and radon test completed, and everything was handled with care and precision. Highly recommend!

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.

We found Carmine Lombardo of A1 Home Inspections to be an alarmist; that is, he protected himself…read moreas an inspector by exaggerating actual conditions found. One-third of the 'observations' he reported as a poor/unsafe condition were satisfactory as they met code standards or were in good condition as per a follow-up opinion of civil, electrical and mechanical engineers. Normal foundation cracks (there were four 1/16th to 1/8th inch thick) in a 44-year-old home were called out as large and in need of structural evaluation. Two torn shingles were found -- a minor concern -- and he called for a roof certification. One gutter had less than a five-gallon bucket of debris (pine needles) in it and he called for evaluating and aligning gutters and downspouts. Convenience receptacles (outlets) on a timer were called out as not functioning. He misstated the age of the furnace and A/C unit. A newly replaced gas meter with an odor was noted in his report but he never alerted the homeowner of the hazardous condition. He called out a leak in the laundry that never leaked. His reporting method is alarming, and neither good for the homebuyer nor seller. What is his training? Is he certified?

He…read moreresponded immediately, was very nice and informative over the phone, had full confidence in what he does, gave me options, and walked me through his processes. My families safety was his first priority. He inspected our home like it was his own. He touched, moved, tested, and explained everything throughout the process. He has every tool needed to do the job the right way. Gas detectors, pressure gages, moisture detectors, you name it. He came prepared to investigate every corner. He explained what things were, how they worked, and had patience for every question or concern I had. We came across some concerning issues that we were able to get the builder to take care of right away, with the safety of my family and the rest of the builders in mind. If it was not for Dan, we could have had some serious issues happen during the inspection or shortly after which could have seriously injured the workers/us or compromised the work that was already done. Dan's final report which had tons of pictures, comments, and suggestions was produced and visible a couple hours after the inspection. HUGE BONUS! Key takeaways: Do not settle for the cheapest company out there. You never know who you will get. Our home is new construction home and I would suggest everyone to get an inspection, whether it is new or old. I felt fully relieved after the inspection. Always get an inspection. Spend the extra funds for the peace of mind and to prevent potential long term issues that can cost thousands. Go with an inspector that has confidence, experience, and patience. Go with Dan!!!! He has all the answers you need and won't let you down!! Overall I could not be happier! We did the inspection, radon test, and sewer test. I will recommend Dan to everyone out there. He is the top dog, hands down Thanks Dan!!!
