In addition to losing my radon test, being unresponsive to my questions about said radon test and my questions about the obvious lead paint on the property, they also signed off on the oil tank, which was as old as the midcentury house, leaking, and had PVC pipe that was not up to code. Within months of my purchase, my oil provider put me on the stop fill list because my tank was not up to code, costing me more than $4k to replace in order to be able to get oil to be able to heat my home in sub-freezing weather with a toddler in the house. I brought this to their attention more than a week ago with no response. I am deeply disappointed with their work and have since had great experiences with other inspectors since, whom I would gladly recommend. Do not trust the Trusted Inspection Services.

He had a typical response time of minutes over text. Setting up an appointment was quick. The inspection itself was in-depth, clocking in at around four hours.

His professionalism, thoroughness, patience, and communication skills are simply second to none.

Steve is lovely to work with, very straight forward, soft spoken and professional. I asked about things I didn't need, (I didn't know), he told me I didn't need them for my home. I asked about something outside of his area of expertise, he advised that was not his company's area. Fyi, new seamless gutters installed, 2 additional downspouts added, fascia fixed and replaced where needed and a new door frame.

I had an inspection done years ago when I bought my first…read moresingle family home in this area. Should have known better than to go with a real estate agents recommendation. The reason they like inspectors like this is they are not deal killers and rubber stamp most houses they inspect. I dont review a lot on Yelp but since your home is likely your most expensive purchase I figured I would try to warn people of potential problems if you dont know what to look for. 1) Demand they take the covers off the boiler or furnace & look inside. There could be cracks in the castings the inspector wont see..Granite did not do this. 2) A good inspector will have the potential buyer follow them around the house to explain & point out potential problems. This did not happen. It was more of a race to the finish. 3) If the house has a septic tank, demand that they at least open the cover. We ended up finding out the tank was completely deteriorated because it was steel which will rust after being in the ground for 40 years. 4) Was told sump pump was installed when the house was built. How would he know? Found not to be true since there was a document found after our closing that indicated foundation repair work only 10 years prior. I can say he did a Radon test in the basement with a laptop to display real time data so that was a positive. The lack of a detailed inspection resulted in a new boiler purchase, septic tank & fields, and a not to code vented chimney for the boiler. Those are big ticket fixes that we could have negotiated a lower purchase price for the house. If u ask would I hire him again? Not a chance. Dont be like myself & learn the hard way...Interview the inspector your going to hire & have them describe to you exactly what they plan to do.

He addressed many factors unbeknownst to us and was extremely patient with educating us about radon levels and mitigations processes.

Inspector did not see asbestos in the house and did not inform me that asbestos could be a problem…read more Multiple people have told me that he should have said something. One item was the furnace pipe/chimney flute that was clearly shown during the inspection without anything around it or covering it. The company said they are not required to assess for asbestos and they can't help me. This was after they didn't believe me that the inspector missed asbestos and asked for pictures. I do not recommend this company. After receiving an inspection report you get emails to give a review and I felt pushed to give a positive review at first.

I hired Collier in Nov. of 22 to do a home inspection on a home that was purchased as an investment…read moreproperty for VETERANS... This home project was/is a family style veteran home. When the report was submitted to me be via email (thank God I kept it!!!) Nothing major was reported... So, I closed on this dreamy house and within an hour of closing a neighbor came to me to ask "how can you move into a home w/out a SEPTIC TANK???" Being from NYC, I had no idea what she was speaking about.. She told me the sellers of 14 Linden Lane in Hyde Park had a septic co. over months before I came into the picture and they were made aware of NO SEPTIC SYSTEM just and old rotted out/crumbling cesspool that was covered up.. So, what should have been a joyous day for me was now ruined... I called a septic co. over and they confirmed that there was no septic and there was proof of prior investigation re: this septic location due to an "indicator" being left behind by the other septic co. months prior. COLLIER, NOR MY REALTOR EVER SUGGESTED OR MENTIONED TO GET A SEPARATE SEPTIC INSPECTION!!! $15,000 (yes, fifteen thousand dollars ) later, I have to invest in new septic system... But that's not all!!! By bonus here (total sarcasm and disgust) is that the plumbing in the house was not up to code ! That, too was never shared with me... I had two independent plumbers come to the home and they shared the same diagnosis... PLUMBING WILL NOT PASS CODE! $15,000 (yup, fifteen thousand dollars ) later I had to replumb the entire home... When I complained to Steve, he apologized and assured me that his workers ALWAYS RECOMMEND A SEPARATE SEPTIC INSPECTION!!! I GUESS THAT MEMO WAS NOT SENT TO ME, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING OF IT ALMOST FOUR WEEKS AFTER CLOSING... I had two marines lined up to live in the home within the first two wks. of february... They are now living in a shelter!! i have a huge hole in my yard... I feel so tricked! Disheartening is an understatement.... My contractor cannot even use the facilities until this septic tank scenario is cleared up... Now, I have the health dept. and DEP involved.... I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP!!! Cautionary tale:::: GO ELSEWHERE.... DON'T USE THIS SERVICE...

His inspection was more than thorough as he spent about 3 hours on, around and inside the home we were looking at. His years of experience showed as he looked in areas I wouldn't have thought of and he explained everything he was doing. Besides having numerous expertise including local building code, he was personable and funny as well. His detailed report, which I received within a few days of his inspection, provided a wealth of information and confirmed that we were buying a solid and safe home. His report also detailed minor improvements that we should consider after we move in. He also conducted a water test with detailed report from an outside agency. He comes highly recommended, his prices were fair and I don't think you'll find anyone more thorough in the area.
