Home inspection

About us

If you’re like most homeowners and home buyers, you probably won’t even meet me until after you hire me. That’s why it’s important to know that there are construction companies that front as home inspectors, large franchised inspection companies and other inspection firms who send out unlicensed and inexperienced employees to do their work, and because this is a legal practice in Florida, you may be at risk for inflated prices, misinformation, and scams and the need for a re-inspection. These companies will make all kinds of promises to you such as “No save, no pay” guarantee for wind mitigation inspections which is unethical and may result in a faulty inspection. Our promise to you is that we do the job right and do not manipulate the results of the inspection for any reason and/or for anyone. Other issues you may encounter with these types of companies is that once they have completed your inspection, they will sell you their construction services which is their real money making business. This practice is also unethical for home inspectors because of the conflict of interest and is actually illegal in most states, not here in Florida.

Toby was prompt, very detailed in his report, and so patient with me as I questioned every aspect of the report. He allowed me to text him and responded by educating me in terms that I could understand. I feel very confident that I know what I am stepping into as a home owner and now about to make an educated decision on this purchase. Toby you went above and beyond what I expected and I can not thank you enough.
Description of Work: I am in the process of purchasing a home that is built in 1967. I needed a complete and accurate home inspection to get a clear picture of what I needed for the initial rehab loan as well as the cost I would be facing in the future.

Terrible.
Description of Work: James "Toby" Kilgore of Accurate Inspections in Gulf Breeze, Fl who did the 4-point inspection on my home was very rude to me. I asked in advance if I could pay by credit card to which he replied, "Yes" and he would send the bill of $90.00 (high, I've had 4-point inspections done for $75) to my email address. Within 10 minutes of sending the bill via email, James "Toby" Gilmore was calling me incessantly to pay the bill. I told this guy "Toby" that I just got the email and I will pay it. He started to holler and scream at me that if I don't pay the bill right now he was going to put a lien on my house and that it would be more expensive than ever to pay for the 4-point inspection. I said to "Toby", "I have every intention of paying the bill, I don't know who you have been dealing or talking to lately but I'm not one of those types of people. Please don't throw me in the same bag of apples as your non payers". He went on a hollering tangent to me about how he has to put liens on peoples' houses and how he goes after them. This is absolutely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. I have also reported him to the Department of Business and Professional Regulations Home Inspections Divisions in Florida. He does not list an numeric address for his business but certainly that can be found through the DBPR.

Response from Accurate Inspections of NWFL, LLC
the member contacted me to complete a 4 Point Inspection at her home. Most inspectors charge between $100.00 to $150.00 for completing the same inspection that I charge $90.00. she never mentioned to me she had a problem with paying $90.00 until I read the review on Angie's List. member was very nice to me at time of inspection and we wished each other a nice day when I was leaving her inspection. It is not normal to send reports to customers or insurance agents until the report has been paid for, but her insurance agent called me explaining that the report was needed ASAP to keep the member's policy in tact. I sent the report to the member and her insurance agent before accepting payment. After the insurance agent/company reviewed the 4 Point Inspection, it was noticed that her water heater was too old for the insurance company's requirements. I am required to take pictures of the water heater and serial number and attach the pictures to the 4 point inspection form. Although the water heater is working, the insurance company does not want to insure a home with a water heater that is over 15 or 20 years old. This issue is out of my control as an inspector. After the report was received by the insurance company, the member called me very upset explaining that there was nothing wrong with her water heater. I tried to explain that the insurance underwriters look at the pictures of the water heater and serial number that shows the age of the unit. She was extremely upset and yelling obscenities at me telling me that she would not pay for the report. I then explained our company policy, which would be to file a judgement against her in small claims court for the money owed. the member signed a contract that states payment is due at time of inspection, but she was not able to pay at time of inspection. I never once called the member, she called me very upset. After her first call to me upset, she then called me the next morning at 5:30am leaving a very nasty voicemail. She also sent a couple of nasty text messages to my phone. I don't understand how the member can say I incessantly called her when phone records can verify what actually happened. the memebr is upset with me and my company for no good reason. Her water heater is old and her insurance company wants her to replace it, and she is mad at my company because of this.
