PILLAR TO POST

WORST Inspection EVER!!! The guy literally told us (in front of the homeowners) that there were only three things that he found. A window in the garage (we'd likely never use) needed the spring fixed to ensure it stayed open, the hand rail on the deck was too big to consider "graspable", and the deck was fine but standards had changed in 13 years and that "it was perfectly stable but code requires bolts instead of screws on specific joints now". So, what we heard was..2 things I could care less about and the deck was fine..code had just changed since it was built. I specifically asked about the roof since it was my main concern it being 13 years old, and he said .."You could have a roofer come take a look, but it looks fine to me. I see a few spots that could be from hail, but nothing concerning." So, we assumed this IDIOT knew what he was talking about. Fast forward to 8 HOURS after we close. THE ROOF LEAKED!!! We got a REAL roof inspector to come out, and the thing was a MESS! The ridge joint wasn't installed properly since DAY 1 (you could SEE EXPOSED WOOD if you actually GO ON THE ROOF!), and it had lots of hail damage! Required a FULL REPLACE at OUR EXPENSE $12,700!!! THEN, as I'm redoing flower beds, I clear out from under the deck where lots of bushes are planted to cover the underneath. What do I find? The support polls aren't even concreted in! One is slightly leaning because it's balanced on a set of bricks that have moved!!! What the ****??? CODE requires them to supported below grade! Not to mention VERY FEW of the main joists even have the joist fasteners attaching them to the main support..and the ones that do are NAILED! No screws!! Now, I'm facing a full deck replacement just to ensure it's SAFE!! Probably ANOTHER $13,000!!!!! AT LEAST!!! It wraps around the ENTIRE house!!!! What a MORON!!!! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE, EVER!!!! READ THE FINE PRINT in what they give you!!!

The inspector showed up on time and provided the inspection in a very professional manner. He identifed some items we did not initally see, and put our minds to rest with some things we thought would be deal breakers. I would definately recommend their sercices, they were just a little pricey compaired to other options, but for the quality, I did not mind.

John is a really good guy, the report not only say but also have attached photos, very responsible. We already done two inspections, he is very knowledgeable and responsible. when one of the seller's agent call him want he change his word and he is not going to do it. We trust the company and him.
