Duffy Home Inspection Service, Inc

Home inspection

About us

I started in the construction industry about twenty-two years ago as a plasterer, and worked my way through the trades to eventually become a building contractor. This naturally led me to home inspections, which I've been doing in the Metro Atlanta area for the last eleven years. Home inspections are our only business. I am impartial and work only for you. My job is to provide you with a comprehensive, fair, independent, objective evaluation so that you can understand and take care of your valuable investment. Your interests are my interests before, during, and after the inspection. In the state of Georgia anyone who wants can become an inspector without any training, so it's especially important that you find someone with experience and credentials. I'm a Certified ASHI inspector (American Society of Home Inspectors, Member ID # 203616), a Code Certified Inspector (5186679-R5), an International Code Council Member, a Certified Infrared Thermographer (Level 1, 33886), Radon Measurement Provider (ID # 105606RT). You can trust that you'll be in good hands when I'm the one conducting your inspections. The fee for the inspection will depend on the type of inspection, location of the home, age of the home and size of the home. There is a 10% discount for all Angie's list members.

Description of Work: Mr Duffy from Duffy Inspection did a fantastic job inspecting a home I was thinking of buying. He saved me from a "nightmare of a home". He found hidden mildew and mold in the AC return duck area and under the water heater floor. They admitted to a leak from a water heater they had to be replace but they "fixed" it. Mr. Duffy used his special equipment and cameras to show me the proof that they had never dried out the area that had been flooded. The mold and mildew looked like a fur coat and was being blown throughout the home because of the location in the return air vent area. He also showed me proof of the house settling and things they had done to hide that fact. If you want a real education walk with him as he does the inspection. He really is amazing and I would never use anyone else. Pity the people who bought that "pretty" and "nice" house that was a health hazard and a future money pit. Duffy Inspection saved our family from a major mistake.

I actually have used Duffy Home Inspection twice now, and I am very glad I did. Duffy was recommended to me by my girlfriend so I called him up and set up an appointment. Duffy arrived actually arrived early for our appointment which was nice because I was early myself. Once we introduced ourselves the fun began. Let me state that Duffy very much encouraged mutual interaction when it comes to his home inspections. He took the time to explain absolutly everything he was inspecting, why it was wrong, and possible issues that could arise. He inspected every inch of the home and left no stone unturned. I must say I was a little overwhelmed and fried after the inspection because he gives you so much information. I really had my mine set on buying this house but after his inspection I had to terminate the contract. I would call Duffy the "dream killer" when it comes to home inspections. I do not say this in a bad way, in fact that is what you should have when it comes to a home inspector. Buying a house is a major investment and with any investment you want to have all of the facts before you commit. Duffy's inspections give you those facts so that you can make a sound decision when signing 30 years of your life away. After canceling that contract I eventually found a much better house that I liked a million times more. However, I knew I should go through the inspection process again, so I called Duffy back. He went through the same process again and he was just as meticulous as before. With this house he did find some things that needed to be addressed but every house is going to have some issues. I have been in the house now for a few months and I couldn't be happier. If I hadnt used his service and bought the first house, I dont think I could say that. I can only imagine how much additional money I would have spent trying to fix the problems. As of this post the first home has still not sold, there might be a good reason for that. Thanks again Duffy.

All inspections went great. Although the news wasn't always what I wanted to hear. He is very personable, always on time, and does great work.
Description of Work: Eugene Duffy and Duffy Homes Inspection Service Inc, has inspected at least 4 properties before purchase. He is the best and I would not buy a house without his inspection first. He knows the code like a preacher knows the bible.
