home inspection
  + -1 more
Mr. Graff showed up on time and provided a fairly thorough inspection that included all major aspects of the home construction such as roof, plumbing, electrical, A/C, exterior, etc. He spent about 2.5-3 hours at the house and his inspection identified several issues that needed attention. However, his report was provided later than originally promised and only after some prodding. After receiving the report, I attempted several times to contact Mr. Graff with questions. He failed to return several phone calls and emails. I ended up having a licensed roofer and a licensed electrician come out and provide their own independent evaluations. It turns out Mr. Graff missed several electrical problems, including wires not properly secured in conduits and improper splices. His report also stated that the roof had "several leaks" but the licensed roofer found no leaks whatsoever. This must be a pretty competitive business, and it's hard to see how $240 can buy a thorough and competent inspection. For that reason I do feel that I got my money's worth but would have been willing to pay more for a better product. I can't recomment this company due to the difficulty I experienced in getting Mr. Graff to return phone calls or emails. Update 11-27-2012: After having reviewed the response from Mr. Graff below, and having more time to assess the condition of the home, I'm compelled to update my original review. As indicated above, a licensed roofer (who had previously replaced an entire roof for me on another home and who had no reason to tell me the roof was sound if it was not,) found no leaks, despite the roof's age. After two rainy seasons including the wettest season on record, there is still no evidence of "active leaks" in the roof. This is further proof that Mr. Graff missed the mark (badly) on the roofing inspection. Mr. Graff's electrical inspection missed many problems that a licensed electrician found right away. Two additional points regarding Mr. Graff's response: 1. I believe Mr. Graff when he writes "we are very busy". However, a businessman who is able to find the time to write such a lenghy response to an online review should also be able to find the time to return phone calls from his clients. 2. Publishing excerpts of the inspection report prepared for me (and me only) plus excerpts of confidential client emails on this website or any other is highly unprofessional.

Response from INSPECT-O-GRAFF LLC
I have reviewed the report in question which was performed on Feb 11, 2011. The Electrical system was found to be "Aged & Unsafe" and the roof was over 15 years with active leaks and shown by photographs provided in the detailed report. The report noted the following: Electric: 1) Panel is aged and not well maintained - full service and panel upgrade should be in future budget for this home 2)Cracked insulation on service entrance conductor at weather head - Recommend repair replace by a licensed electrician as this is a safety hazard and can damage electronics due to arcing 3)Over 60% of the outlets test were found to be defective. The tester illuminated all three lights. Recommend review by licensed electrical contractor 4)Damage wires in attic above hall due to age and location - recommend review of attic wiring for any needed repairs and budget for rewire (see photo 6). for sample and aged damaged wire Based on the ELECTRICAL assessment above I feel as though the client was well informed about the condition of the electrical system Roof: 1) The shingle roof is in various stages of disrepair. Damaged plumbing vents, aged / damage shingles, defective flashings and active leaks. in addition there has been a metal carport roof installed after the shingle roof which was likely not constructed with a building permit. The installation of the carport roof is inhibiting replacement of the shingle roof due to clearance between roof systems and aluminum support connected directly to surface of shingle roof- Recommend a full review by licensed roofing contractor for replacement options so that the replacement roof and carport can be in compliance with the new building code requirement and roof can be made as water tight as possible to serve the long term. Based on the ROOF assessment above the "client" was well informed about the roof condition and the "active leakage" was very obvious and NOT mis-represented. During the inspection there were several issues found with the home which were major and structural. All findings were discussed with the client ON SITE so there was no waiting for the report to learn the issues with the home. The dollar amount in defects found during my inspection was very high and not able fully determined due hidden structural damage from termites and hidden wiring defects. The inspection was performed on Friday February 11th 2011 and the full in depth report to support the verbal report given on site was released on Tuesday February 15th (within 48 normal business hours) as promised. I apologize for the difficulty the client had in having us "return calls or emails" I have received one email on Saturday 2/19/11 asking for a call regarding additional questions on termite damage to which I responded via email when i returned to my office on Tues 2/22/11 and the 2nd email I received was on 2/22/11 as follows: Steve, Based on the findings in your inspection report, I’ve re-negotiated the purchase price with the sellers and we have a deal. So, I may need your services to do the 4-points inspection once I’ve had the roof and electrical problems repaired. *********************************************************************************** There was no request for me to contact the client in this second out of two emails received. While we are very busy, we do have an office with 24 hour phone coverage and strive for customer satisfaction. Inspect-O-Graff, LLC provided this client with an excellent tool to assist in the real estate purchase and save him 1,000's of dollars by performing a very thorough inspection at an excellent price. We take pride in our quality and integrity and earn our reputation one inspection at a time. - Steve Graff

Steven Graff performed a home inspection for us that was very thorough and professional. We had agreed on the time to meet at the property and he was most prompt. He checked out every aspect of the home, answered all of our questions, and provided us with a very detailed report. Would we hire him again? Absolutely! In fact, this was the 2nd inspection he had done for us. The first was in December 2010 - it was incredibly thorough, and revealed problems with that property that we could not have dealt with, thus sparing us a lot of misery. I know from personal experience the importance of a thorough and accurate home inspection - I highly recommend Inspect-O-Graff.

I have nothing but praise for this company. Knowledgeable, thorough, punctual, etc.
Description of Work: During my house-hunting search, I have had 4 contracts on homes. Steve's company did the WDO inspection on the first one, and both the home inspections and the WDO inspections on the other 3 (probably why my 4th inspection was the lowest price). On the first one, his WDO inspector found much more serious wood problems than the home inspector discovered (and should have discovered), leading to my decision not to buy the property. That is why I then used Inspect-O-Graff for both inspections with the following contracts until I found a home that had no deal-breaking defects. They are extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend them.
