PENDULUM HOME INSPECTIONS

Very nice and professional.

We made an offer on a home and needed an inspector to come out fairly quickly. I called 3 inspection companies. The first was booked solid for 2 weeks and couldn't meet our required time frame. I left messages with 2 other inspection companies and Carlton Jones (Pendulum) was the first one who returned my call. I initially called him because he was listed on the ASHI website as being ASHI Certified. He took time to explain how a home inspection was conducted and was able to commit to coming out the following week to conduct the inspection; so I confirmed his services before we ended the phone call based on his professionalism and the time he spent talking to me and answering my questions. Because the home has a pool, Carlton suggested having a pool inspector inspect the pool as well. A service he provides is coordinating with the pool inspector and incorporating the inspector's findings into his report. We liked the convenience of this because we are out of town; hence, we asked him to do this for us. On the day of the inspection, we met him and the pool inspector out at the house. Both were prompt, professional and courteous. Carlton was very efficient and took many pictures which were included in his report. The house has 3160 square feet and he spent about 2.5 hours on the inspection. We pointed out things to him and he answered our questions as he went along. Since our last home inspection for a home purchase was over 17 years ago, I can't compare the services provided by Pendulum to any of the other available services; however, we were satisfied with the home inspection performed by Carlton and the way the report was electronically presented and would use him again if needed.

We were buying our first house. Mr. Jones did a house inspection for us. A week later, Mr. Jones came back to double check for free to make sure the owner did fix the certain issues that he identified during inspection. Mr. Jones is punctual and very professional. He identified all issues big and small. He also provided solutions to most of the problems. Mr. Jones generated a over 60-page report with details, photos and solutions. His report is easy to follow because he listed the problems in summary pages and we can also go to the full report to see all the details and photos. He identified a lot of problems with the house. Some of the problems were easy to fix but would be dangerous if left unattended. Equipped with his report, we felt confident to purchase the house because he provided solutions to fix the problem. We definitely will recommend Mr. Jones to our friends.

Carlton was very knowledgeable and walked thru each aspect of the home inspection with me. His report gave insightful recommendations for deficiencies and good insight on other activities that might safeguard the home for the future.

We were first time home buyers looking for an experienced inspector who pays attention to details. He spent time with us on the inspection day and did a walk through of the entire house. He pointed out certain features of the home as well as the issues he found. He also answered specific questions we had about the home. We were very satisfied and have recommended Carlton to our friends who also needed an inspection.

He spent several hours going over the house, top to bottom giving me updates as he went along.

Very thorough and commuinicated with me as he performed the inspection.

Carlton performed a thorough inspection and was very personable. Was flexible in setting up appointment time. Showed up on time. Tailored inspection to my specific needs. Report was thorough and included pics.

The inspector arrived early, on a Sunday! Our inspection lasted ~4.5 hours. Frequently while performing the inspection, he stopped to explain how the inspection was going. The inspector was honest and up-front, in a kind way. As first time home buyers, he took us under his wing and discussed with us what we would be working with in the years to come. He provided an outstanding report with a lot of pictures and explainations. He took his time after the inspection to answer ALL fo our questions. He was knowledgable of older homes.

Carlton Jones with PENDULUM HOME INSPECTIONS did a great job. He was prompt, accurate, experienced and friendly. He knew everything about my older home. He came highly recommended by a friend and I would suggest him to anyone. His report was incredibly complete with nice photographs.
