Scot came recommended from a prominent real-estate attorney. My husband and I needed someone…read morequalified to inspect a 1930s era property, where a large house had been built on the site of an old farmstead and still included the stone ruins of a barn. We were impressed with Scot's huge number of positive Google reviews and his evident commitment to helping people buy, inhabit, and improve historical properties (both landmarked and "vintage"). Our hopes for a thorough and helpful inspection were realized. Scot listened to our concerns and he answered all our questions as we walked through and looked at the property. He also asked our realtor what questions she had. We learned a great deal about the house from our walk-through with him. Most important, Scot emphasized the actions we should take to remedy the problems he discovered. He was able to suggest reputable tradesmen and specialists who could solve the problems he identified. His manner was encouraging and motivating rather than pushy. He gets high marks for that. Scot is a local treasure. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the process of purchasing an older home or a newer home that needs a lot of work off the bat. I came away from the inspection with a clear action plan and confidence in knowing the condition of the property.

Yelp rating for 2 starts is "Meh" so I'd give my Scott a C+ for passing but not recommended. I've…read morepurchased 4 homes in three different states and his inspection was the least detailed and most expensive. Therefore, from my experience he over prices and under delivers. I chose him because I thought paying extra was going to get me a better inspection. I compared prices and he was actually the most expensive of the three inspectors I was considering. If his inspection was much cheaper then I'd give him an A but since he is charging a premium price but not providing a premium service, he gets a C+. I waited 2 years to write this review after having another home inspection by one of his peers in the Milwaukee area. I was out of state when he did the inspection and he said the would be more thorough and add more pictures because I couldn't be present which was very far from the truth. First he tried to send his assistant to do the inspection whereas all of the marketing materials on his website mention Scott and his experience and don't mention his assistant. He missed many issues that should have been obvious to an inspector but have been costly to repair. He didn't mention the Asbestos-Contaminated Vermiculite Insulation or the Asbestos titles or rotted floor joist, which other contractors mentioned immediately upon visiting my home nor a serious basement issues which later cost $12K to replace. He only put 61 photos in the inspection whereas an inspection I did recently in Milwaukee by a less expensive inspector provided 139 photos and much more details for $100 less. The inspection report was not detailed and clearly from a template with every other statement saying "get a specialist to check out the basement, the roof, the chimney, electrical, etc". The whole report appear to be designed to deflect any blame for missing so many things.

Jeff saved us thousands!…read more We are in the process of buying a condo in the Menomonee Falls area. At first I was a little reluctant to spend the extra money on a home inspection, as the condo association was responsible for most of the major upkeep, but after talking with our realtor and my fiancé, I'm sure glad that we did. We went with Cream City at the recommendation of a friend, and I really liked his background on the more commercial side in buildings and maintenance. It made me feel like we was looking for other things that home inspectors might not have a feel for. The process was easy. Jeff was incredibly responsive and very easy to schedule with. The day of the home inspection he arrived early, had more tools and equipment than I was anticipating, and I don't think he left one area of the place untouched. Most important he did a socially distance appropriate walk through with me on his findings and set up a follow-up call with myself and my fiancé the next day who was not able to make it on the day of our inspection. The inspection reporting was a great tool. I've added an extremely brief screen shot of the review that went through each area of the home. It had photos of all areas and identified any area of concern and ranked them according to their urgency. After reviewing we were able to get a credit on our purchase price, with the areas identified. All in all I was not only impressed with the level of care, time given, and thoughtfulness, but I was especially impressed with the level of customer service. My fiancé, who is hard to impress, felt like exactly the same even though he wasn't a part of the whole process. 10/10 would recommend and use again.

A few hours after our inspection we had a 50+ page detailed report with photos and suggestions for future maintenance as well as items needing replacement and repair. This report made it very easy to request further quotes from contractors while negotiating repairs. The report he uses has a very handy tool to help you make your negotiations. John went above and beyond anything I've ever seen in a home inspection and ultimately uncovered big issues and enough neglected maintenance that we walked away from our deal. Money well spent! We will definitely be using him again!

The VA loan officer referred me to Extensive Home Inspections. Extensive Home Inspections did an excellent job! Fast, courteous and at a very reasonable rate.

I highly recommend Extensive Home Inspections for anyone needing a general home inspection but especially for those who need a termite inspection for a VA mortgage loan.

The sellers wanted to close within 30 days so it was imperative that we found a home inspector asap. I scheduled our home inspection with Kelly on their website around 8 pm on a Saturday. Within 15 minutes, Kelly texted me thanking me for booking with Extensive and told me he would call tomorrow morning. In talking with Kelly the following morning, I was confident I had made the right choice. Kelly met with my wife and our Realtor at the home later that week and was incredible. He knew we were first time home buyers and went through and explained everything he was doing to my wife. He showed her several things that most first time home buyers probably wouldn't have known about and explained everything to her in a very easy to understand way. Kelly was very thorough throughout the inspection. The next day, he sent us a binder with everything he inspected which was extremely helpful. He also told us that if we ever had any questions throughout our time owning this home, we can call him. I was thrilled with Kelly and Extensive Home Inspections and would strongly recommend him to everyone!

Obviously that can be kind of an intense/nerve wracking experience, and when you are going into this semi-blind, you need to have confidence in your home inspection. Enter Jason & Park Hill Home Inspection. Jason was recommended to us by our realtor, and I couldn't be more happy. From the beginning Jason was very responsive and able to inspect the property on short notice. He spent time with me on the phone, explaining how the process would work and let me know about some optional services, including radon testing. Coming from CA, we don't have basements/radon, so Jason thoroughly explained what the testing, how much it cost, and then very honestly explained at-home alternatives would could perform ourselves if we wanted to save money. (!) The day of the inspection, everything went great. Jason was on-time and through, and walked my mother through all of the steps they took to inspect the home. The inspection report was extremely through, yet easy to understand for a non-professional, with photos documenting everything that was found. Our comprehensive home inspection allowed us to negotiate a fair closing credit with the sellers. I highly recommend Jason and Park Hill Home Inspection.

Listen to what the other reviews mention - Mark Thomas is the best and is well worth it…read more I recently purchases a duplex down in Bayview and he was recommended to me by my realtor, Norm Terapak (Terapak Realty), as being the best. After calling up and speaking with his assistant about his rates and time, I noticed that it was a little more expensive than other home inspectors. She did mention that it is since he is the best, has the best reports, gets on the roof, and takes his time going through. I took Norm and her word for it and had Mark take a look at the property. His assistant called to let me know that he was running late due to traffic yet he still showed up on time, which is always a plus. We spent more than 4 hours looking through EVERYTHING, and I mean he looked at and tested everything. I have been told that most inspectors don't go up on roofs anymore yet Mark got up on the roof, snapped pictures, and was checking it out for 15 minutes. Mark uses a digital camera to take dozens of pictures and has a laptop on site that he uploads them to right away. He puts together his digital report as he goes. In all he provided a digital PDF copy of the report that was 37 pages long with so much detail. Not only did it include a few pictures on each page, descriptions, but also diagrams of how to correct it or what it should look like. Mark also knew I was a first time duplex buyer and would educate me along the way, show me various items, and explain things in detail so I would understand and know for the future. He was very educational and helpful. He may be a little more expensive than others yet what he found I was able to get some serious money knocked off the price so it was money very well spent. Highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.

All of the other reviewers are right, he is incredibly thorough, describes things in a way anyone could understand and goes over the report with you on-site. He says some inspection places don't do the report on-site and I think that would be really inconvenient. As we were talking he mentioned some things that I then asked him to include in the report and he was happy to do so. What a drag it would have been to go over it all myself and ask for changes later. You can't go wrong here if you need the best.
