We chose A Sound Mind Home Inspection based on our realtor's recommendation. We attended the 3+ hour home inspection and learned a lot about the home we ended up purchasing. Beau was very professional and took his time looking over the entire house, top to bottom, inside and out. He wrote his report on site, and gave us a printout after. He walked us through all of his notes and pointed out anything he recommended we tend to in the near future. I appreciated Beau's knowledge and the time he took to explain everything to us. We were confident moving forward we had chosen the right property and knew right away what we needed to work on/improve.

Description of Work: Outstanding service! Being off island, we needed to depend on Beau to provide a thorough inspection. He exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did he provide a detailed report (including pictures), by the following day, but he spent over an hour on the phone explaining every detail, providing advice and answering every question we had. Based on his report, our realtor went back to the seller and got us a credit to make the repairs.

As with every other inspection Beau has done for us over the years, this was an excellent experience. Prompt, professional, and thorough. You feel confident after the inspection and report that the property you are buying is either in good shape, or if not, you can go into the transaction informed and prepared. Would not hesitate to use A Sound Mind Inspection in the future and to recommend to anyone needing property inspection.
Description of Work: Full, extensive inspection of a property we are purchasing.

Home inspection was completed by Beau of A Sound Mind Home Inspection. Beau arrived on time and proceeded to inspect the property inside and out. The inspection was very detailed and complete on the exterior and interior. Beau met with the buyers and walked the property with them to show his findings. Once that was completed he sat with them to go over the report and discussed their questions and concerns. Beau was very informative. Beau has a very easy way about him and is able to speak to the clients on a level they are able to understand. His patience is a gift to those who work with him. I would recommend A Sound Mind Home Inspection to anyone needing this service.
Description of Work: Inspector Beau provided an in depth Home Inspection for my Buyers on a home they were purchasing. Beau was extremely knowledgeable, on time and pleasant to work with. His report included pictures and descriptions of what was needed in the home. The report provided was very easy to read and understand.

The inspection was cursory. He did not arrange to have the electricity turned on in advance so he could not test the refrigerator and some other appliances. He was reluctant to answer questions. He did not care when we objected to his refusal to respond. I recently had another home inspection by Paul Signore and his work was outstanding.

We as the majority of inspection companies require the utilities to be "on" prior to the inspection to be able to properly determine if the appliance/feature is working properly...that is our policy and our order form even asks for the utilities to be "on"...As far as not being responsive, I am at a total loss...I try to be available to all of our clients 7 days a week... I am disappointed the client was unsatisfied with the inspection service, I wished she would have contacted me with her concerns directly...until I read Angie's List I had no idea :(

Beau was very thorough in checking the property and was a really nice guy with great tips on every aspect of our house that we asked about. The home is only 6 years old but was a previous foreclosure and had been unoccupied for a year and he addressed all the things that could go wrong in an unoccupied home. His report was very detailed involving pictures. We are interested in doing a lot of upgrades to the house and he was great about recommending everything from the easiest-maintenance grass and landscaping/masonry elements to the best flooring & paint that would withstand our kids and dog, to even recommending cleaning products that are great for the environment and keep bugs away. I thought he was very helpful. We were present the entire time and I'm really glad because my husband and I will be first time homeowners and we learned a lot from Beau. It was well worth an afternoon off from work. He did provide a detailed report, but being there and asking questions you can pump out a lot more information. I gave the price a "B" because to be honest I didn't shop around at all so I don't know what to compare the price to. Our Real Estate lawyer highly recommended Paul Signore who was not available during the two week time period when we could do the inspection, so Paul Signore highly recommended Beau Patrone. I decided to go with a strong recommendation so I'd have confidence in the inspection.
Description of Work: Beau Patrone and an assistant performed a home inspection on the Kahului home we are in the process of purchasing. They scheduled three hours but were done about 45 minutes early and spent as much time as requested answering questions and offering recommendations on every aspect of the home.

Thanks [removed member name] We try to be competitive in pricing and find we are slightly higher & lower of other companies/inspectors. Paul Signore is an excellent inspector and certainly one of few inspectors on island that we feel confident in referring our clients to when we are unavailable...
