I initially contacted Greg Bell through email in order to request a quote, I promptly received a reply detailing all the information about the inspection and the price. I explained I was out of town so e-mail was my best contact tool and Greg was ready to email back and forth with answers to all my questions in a proffesional and courteous manner. Unfortunately, due to time constraints on my part (inspection period ending within 4 days) there was a schedule conflict and I had to opt for a different inspector. However, I'd recommend Greg based on his commuication skills and attentiveness, and wish I had been able to get the inspection through him instead.
Description of Work: Fast response, fair prices and great communication.

Greg had provided a general home inspection on my residence in 2011, and I was very impressed with him and the service he provided. I had to change insurance carriers for my rental property which required a property inspection so I contacted Greg. I had a very tight deadline and tenants I wanted to accommodate. Greg was flexible and worked on Saturday to make sure the inspection would be completed timely. He arrived on time and was finished at the scheduled time. He emailed the report to me and I was able to email it to the agent ahead of schedule. I look forward to working with Greg on future projects.

Mr. Bell was very professional and showed extensive experience throughout my conversations before and during the inspection. He explained what he would be doing as part of the inspection. (His website had a very informative video detailing the process for a typical inspection, too, which added to his professionalism as a business.) On the day of the inspection, he arrived on time and immediately began the process of inspection. Through his thermal imaging camera, he was able to see that a couple of areas in the condo require insulation. I so glad to know this so we can get this fixed and save money on cooling/heating. He also was able to find a hidden leak under the 'new' kitchen sink. During the whole process, he did a very thorough job inspecting the circuit panels, electric outlets, plumbing, a/c and heat, etc. After he completed the inspection, he took time to explain and show me pictures he had taken of any problem spots within the condo. Patiently, he answered my questions. I also appreciated how he explained if certain problem areas were urgent to be fixed (i.e. the air handler/furnace - original model from 1974!) and some areas that were 'repair as desired' (i.e. grout missing in tiled closet). As a first-time homeowner, I was so glad to have this inspector's thorough analysis! It was a relief to know what needed to be fixed and not to be surprised later with unexpected problems. I would highly recommend Mr. Bell for your inspection needs.

My family saw this house we fell in love with and wanted to buy. from my layman's eyes I knew that some things needed fixing but I was hoping they were little things that I could handle bit by bit. When I called Greg in,he was prompt to respond and was able to come out a few days after on a Saturday! Greg was very punctual and arrived before I did and was already inspecting the outside of the house. As I approached ,he asked me if I wanted a fixer upper because so far from the outside he had seen a lot of issues with the house. He proceeded inside and saw a lot more issues with the plumbing,mold,lots of rotted wood and potential areas for termite. At this point,he gave me a choice to continue with the inspection or to stop since there were numerous issues with the house. I chose to stop as a previous inspector I had hired to see the house had seen the same things as Greg and warned me about the house. In Greg's case,he went above and beyond and pointed out the mold. I am happy that I hired him as I was saved from spending thousands of dollars in a house that had many big issues.

Greg returned my call promptly, gave me an estimate over the phone. I contracted him to do the inspection. He traveled about an hours distance to the location and was right on time! He performed all inspections flawlessly. He was truly my advocate and spent a great deal of time making sure the home was thoroughly inspected.Greg answered every question I had during the inspection. He was friendly, patient and Very Professional. His final report was insightful, detailed and accurate. I would not think twice about hiring Bell Inspection Service again or referring Greg to others.

I sent an email to see how about scheduling an appointment, and Mr. Bell replied right away. He was prompt to the appointment, thorough with the inspection, patient in answering questions, helpful with suggestions, and overall great to work with.

Greg was not only on time but there at the property before my husband and I got there. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. During the inspection, he explained everything to me; even asking if I had questions after the explanation while moving from one room to the next. I would use Greg again and I would refer him to others. Extremely nice man to work with.

Although I had purchased 4 other homes before, each home inspection is full of surprises. Greg was professional, punctual and produced a decent home inspection report. Looking back, I just wish he had been a bit more thorough in some of the areas that we needed to correct in our new home. My recommendation for all Angie's professionals is that they should to strive to be the BEST THEY CAN BE. In addition, do not forget to deliver a value-added service that would put them in front of their competitors. To deserve the top spot and credibility, professionals have to go above and beyond the call-of-duty and always overdeliver. In the case of Greg, he could have been more methodical to ensure that the inspection was totally understood by us. Only by overdelivering is that professionals can beat their competitors hands down. In today's economy, is not enough to "do what is expected". Nevertheless, I recommend Greg and his work for home inspection services.

One of the few inspectors that is very technology savvy. He has a great web site that offers tips for you free. He also provides you with an account on his web site so you can log in and view or download your report.
Description of Work: Very thorough inspector. If you can do the inspection with him, he will point out problem areas and give advice on how to get them fixed. He also provided valuable advice on what kind of paint to use on exterior walls, and things to do to prolong the life of your roof. His inspection reports are also very thorough and prompt, but you get more out of the experience if you can do the inspection with him.

I have had the pleasure of working with Greg now on two separate occasions and both times this has been an exceptional process. Greg is always on time, if not early, professional and polite to the homeowner and is very precise about looking over every detail in the house. He actually spends time with both parties so that fully understand the process that is about to take place. When looking for a home inspector you need to find someone that comes with knowledge of buildings and code, together with an appreciation of warning signs and problem area's. Greg has this background and experience. The part I found most useful was the ability to join greg on the whole inspection and discuss items found, and to understand what he was looking for and found during the inspection. This as the buyer is important, you are able to make informed decisions and confirm area's of uncertainty So many times you do not find services that engage with the buyer, and when looking at buying a florida home you need someone who can spot the warning signs. Personally the report on one property actually saved my family from making a large financial mistake and buying the wrong property. As a buyer there are things you just don't see, and the inspection period is crucial. Having Greg consult and review , opening the hood to house was the best $400 bucks I have spent in a long time Overall, Great Service, Great Knowledge, Great Report

Inspector was extremely knowledgeable, very thorough, precise, punctual, and friendly. His pricing was very reasonable and he additionally gave us an Angies List Member discount. Inspector answered any and all questions that we had. His Inspection Report write-up was clear, concise and easily read by a layman. My wife and I were 100% satisfied with his services and would highly recommend him to family, friends, and Angie List members.

This is our first home and so far everything seems to be painless including the inspection. I found Bell Inspection on Angie's list and chose them based on the ratings and reviews. I am glad I did. He was very nice from the start and very professional. When he was done the inspection he took me around and explained everything he checked for and everything he found in detail, and gave me tips on how to fix what was wrong and prevent any future problems.Now we have a lot more confidence in the home we are buying. I hope everything goes this smoothly!

I called a few people including Greg while shopping for this inspection. Others wanted to charge more, did not answer the call (it was Saturday morning), did not have the same qualifications, or could not do the termite inspection. Greg could do both the home inspection and the termite inspection. He has a long list of qualifications including 20 years of construction experience, mold assessor license, membership in INACHI, ICC certified building inspector, and certified Master Inspector! His fees were reasonable and he was available for the call on a Saturday, so he was the obvious choice. Greg arrived on time and spent about 3 hours on the inspection. After finishing each section, he took us in a tour to show his findings. In addition to pointing out trouble spots, he gave recommendations on how to deal with them. For example, he found that the walls of the house were all concrete blocks except a bay window that was made of wood. He recommended this to be treated for termite because it was too close to the pool's deck. Greg also warned us of possible future issues. For example, the A/C. unit was 14 years old, so he warned that it was approaching the end of its life and we would need to replace it soon. He also pointed out that the heater was past its expected life and should be replaced. The inspection was comprehensive and included many areas including roof, attic, ceiling, electrical, appliances, tile, outside walls, A/C, plumbing, and pool. Early next morning (at 7:21 AM) we received a neat copy of the written report via email. This had all the trouble areas he mentioned including many photos. We also got the Wind Mitigation report and the WDO report we requested. The information was valuable as it helped us understand maintenance requirements for the house before we buy it. Based on this information, we are revising our offer to account for the needed maintenance. We included a copy of the report with our request. I highly recommend Bell Inspection Service.
Description of Work: At my request, Mr. Bell performed three inspections during the visit: 1) Home Inspection for a house in Oviedo we are buying. House size of about 3,200 sft. 2) Termite Inspection. This is referred to as 'WDO" or Wood Destroying Organism inspection. 3) Wind Mitigation Inspection: I asked for this because it can usually gets you discounts off your annual home insurance premium.

I emailed Mr. Bell via the link on Angies List and received a call within 20 minutes on a Friday night. He set an appointment with me for the following day (Saturday) to come out. He went through the property carefully, called out the ares of concern for me and then followed through with an emailed report including photos the following morning. I will use him again and recommend him without hesitation.

It was an excellent experience. I researched Angie's List and, based on comments and ratings, decided to pursue Bell Inspection Service. Greg scheduled a date that was mutually convenient, emailed pre-inspection instructions, and provided me with a quote. Greg arrived on time and was very thorough. Because I was in and out of the house while he was here, we discussed major findings and remedies as he progressed. When he finished, I went to his web site and paid online via PayPal - my favorite payment vehicle. Within 24 hours after he completed the inspection I had a report complete with pictures. If you are looking for an inspection service, I recommend you engage Bell Inspection Service.
Description of Work: I recently moved to an inherited home that has not been maintained well. Prior to deciding to rent, sell or live in the home for awhile, I wanted to have the home inspected as though I were a potential buyer so that I could avoid any surpprises and so that I could prioritize any deficiencies and develop plans to correct them. Although I have addressed some cosmetic items, I also wanted a set of "fresh eyes" to help me identify cosmetic items I may have overlooked.
