Tiger Home Inspection Inc

Highly recommend Scott G.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. INSPECTOR ON TIME, BEGAN BY TELLING ME ROOFING WAS 10 TO 15 YEARS OLD, WAS ACTUALLY 20 YEARS OLD. INSPECTOR MISSED THE FOLLOWING: ROTTED EXTERIOR EXHAUST/AIR INTAKE FOR GAS BOILER, SAME AIR/EXHAUST FOR BOILER NOT PROPERLY PIPED TO BOILER IN BASEMENT, ROT IN WINDOW SILLS, ROTTED RAKE BOARDS AT GUTTERS, ROTTED REAR PORCH, ROTTED AND CRACKED TRIM AT FRONT ENTRY, RIDGE VENT NOT PROPERLY NAILED, GUTTERS IN NEED OF CLEANING (FRONT GUTTER ACTUALLY HAD A SAPLING GROWING IN IT), TREE BRANCHES AND LANDSCAPING TOO CLOSE TO HOUSE, AND IMPROPER GAS PIPING FOR DRYER. THIS INSPECTOR WAS BROUGHT IN BY MY REALTOR (BUYERS AGENT). I THINK NEXT TIME I WILL GET MY OWN INSPECTOR.

ON TIME, ON PRICE, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PERSONABLE. MUCH MORE THOROUGH THAN OTHER INSPECTION EXPERIENCE. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. FAST SERVICE IF YOU NEED SOMEONE RIGHT AWAY.

ARRIVED EARLY, VERY INFORMATIVE, PROVIDED GOOD DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS, WHY TO REPAIR, OPTIONS FOR REPAIR, AND PREVENTATIVE PROCEDURES.

ARRANGING FOR THE INSPECTION WAS QUICK AND EASY. THEY WERE EVEN WILLING TO COME WORK ON A SUNDAY. CALLED ME TWO DAYS BEFORE THE INSPECTION TO CONFIRM. THE INSPECTOR, GORDON WILSON, ARRIVED EARLY AND BEGAN HIS INSPECTION OF THE EXTERIOR BEFORE ANYONE ELSE HAD ARRIVED. HE WENT OVER WHAT HE HAD DONE IN DETAIL WHEN WE GOT THERE, AND THEN PROCEEDED WITH HIS WORK. THE ENTIRE PROCESS TOOK JUST OVER 3 HOURS. GORDON WAS PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH AND FRIENDLY. HE ANSWERED ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS TO OUR SATISFACTION. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT OUR ENTIRE EXPERIENCE WITH TIGER.

THE INSPECTOR WAS ABRUPT, WORKED VERY QUICKLY, AND I DIDN'T FEEL I WAS ABLE TO ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS I WANTED TO. WHEN I CALLED HIM BACK WITH A QUESTION ABOUT MY REPORT HE WAS UNNECESSARILY RUDE AND CONDESCENDING. CUSTOMER SERVICE, HOWEVER, WAS VERY RESPONSIVE WHEN I CALLED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE.

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH TIGER HOME INSPECTION WAS NOT GOOD. WE PAID EXTRA TO GET A TERMITE INSPECTION. WE WERE TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY TREATED, BUT NO TERMITES OR TERMITE DAMAGE WAS FOUND. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, I SAW A SWARM OF TERMITES IN THE HOUSE AND PAID YET AGAIN FOR AN INSPECTION FROM ANOTHER COMPANY ONLY TO FIND OUT WE HAD TERMITES AND THERE WAS DAMAGE. TIGER HOME INSPECTION BASICALLY SAID I HAD NO PROOF THAT THIS DAMAGE DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER THE INSPECTION. THAT MUCH DAMAGE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN 6 MONTHS, I WAS TOLD BY A CARPENTER. THEY DID NOTHING FOR US. THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO REFUND OUR TERMITE INSPECTION.

THE INSPECTOR WAS PUNCTUAL AND THOROUGH WITH HIS INSPECTION. HE SPOKE IN TERMS WE COULD UNDERSTAND AND ADVISED ON POSSIBILITIES IN THE FUTURE.

TIGER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING IN SCHEDULING MY APPOINTMENT ON MY DAY OFF (PRESIDENT'S DAY.) FRANK WAS ON TIME AND VERY PROFESSIONAL DESPITE THE NEGATIVE INSPECTION FINDINGS IN FRONT OF THE SELLERS.

JOHN WAS EARLY TO THE APPOINTMENT. HE WAS THOROUGH, TAKING US TO EACH PORTION OF THE HOUSE, PROMPTING US TO ASK QUESTIONS IF WE HAD THEM AND OFFERING ADVICE ABOUT EACH OF THE THINGS THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE PROPERTY. HE SEEMED KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WAS FRIENDLY. THE PRICE IS REASONABLE AND WE FELT THAT NO MAJOR STONE HAD BEEN LEFT UNTURNED.

THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB...SPENT 3 HRS WITH US INSPECTING THE HOUSE...VERY INFORMATIVE AND CANDID. ONE PROBLEM, THOUGH: INSPECTOR SAW OLD TERMITE DAMAGE IN A SMALL, LIMITED AREA AND COMMENTED AS SUCH, BUT DIDN'T MENTION IT IN THE INSPECTION REPORT...IN FACT, HE WROTE ''NO EVIDENCE OF TERMITE DAMAGE''. I DON'T KNOW IF HE SIMPLY FORGOT TO WRITE IT DOWN, OR THOUGHT IT WASN'T WORTH WRITING DOWN. I CALLED THE INSPECTOR 2 DAYS LATER TO CLARIFY, AND HE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. I WAS SURPRISED, CONSIDERING HOW PLEASED WE WERE WITH HIS PERFORMANCE OTHERWISE. I ENDED UP GETTING A TERMITE INSPECTOR WHO SAID IT WAS OLD AND LIMITED DAMAGE.

THEY WERE EXCELLENT IN ALL ASPECTS AND I ESPECIALLY WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR A JOB WELL DONE. THEY DID AN EXTREME THROUGH INSPECTION.

WE KNEW THERE WERE A LOT OF COSMETIC THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE, BUT WE WANTED TO BE SURE THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS SECURE BEFORE WE DID THAT. THE PARTICULAR INSPECTOR, FRANK MARCIANO, WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND VERY INFORMATIVE. OUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT. THE ONE THING THAT I WONDERED ABOUT IS WHETHER THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS ON A CONTRACT (TO GET AN INSPECTION DONE). THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO SCHEDULE US A WEEK OUT WHICH COULD BE A STRETCH FOR SOMEONE UNDER CONTRACT. OVERALL, THOUGH, THEY DESERVE YOUR SUPER SERVICE AWARD. OUR EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT.

INSPECTOR ON TIME AND PERFORMED THOROUGH INSPECTION AND ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION. ALSO GAVE US SOME HOME TIPS.

THE INSPECTOR WAS PROMPT (5 MIN. EARLY, EVEN), THOROUGH, EXPLAINED EVERYTHING, ANSWERED QUESTIONS, GAVE ME A LEGIBLE REPORT. COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR MORE.

I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED SOMEONE BASED UPON OTHER FEEDBACK ON THIS FORUM. HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. HE CAREFULLY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING HE WAS DOING. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE HE WAS ACTUALLY TOO AGGRESSIVE AT POINTING OUT PROBLEMS. HE IDENTIFIED A SEVERE TERMITE PROBLEM IN THE GARAGE. A LATER TERMITE INSPECTION INDICATED THAT IT WAS ONLY WATER DAMAGE. HE ALSO IDENTIFIED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE 5 YEAR OLD ROOF. A LATER ROOF INSPECTION BY A ROOFER REVEALED ONLY MINOR PROBLEMS THAT DID NOT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

NICO DISTEFANO DID THE INSPECTION AND I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH HIS EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM. HE WAS EFFICIENT WITHOUT BEING SLIPSHOD, AND WAS VERY WILLING TO RESPOND THOUGHTFULLY TO MY MANY QUESTIONS. WHILE I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED A BIT MORE DETAIL IN THE REPORT, IT WAS QUITE SATISFACTORY. OVERALL, TIGER WAS GOOD TO WORK WITH AND I WOULD REQUEST NICO BY NAME FOR FUTURE INSPECTIONS.

PAT MCBRATNEY DID THE INSPECTION IN MY HOUSE---HE WAS THOROUGH, COMMUNICATIVE, PLEASANT, AND VERY HELPFUL.

I HAD GOTTEN SOME DIVERGENT PRICES AND APPROACHES TO THE PROBLEMS AND WANTED AN INDEPENDENT, PROFESSIONAL OPINION OF WHAT I NEEDED TO DO AND THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. DAVE EDGREN WAS PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL AND EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH. AN EXCELLENT JOB.

I HAVE HAD THREE INSPECTIONS THROUGH THIS COMPANY AND ALL WERE WONDERFUL. THERE ARE ONLY TWO INSPECTORS FROM THE COMPANY I HAVE WORKED WITH, BOTH OF WHOM WERE WONDERFUL: NICO DISTASANO AND KEVIN O''NEILL.THEY FIND IMPORTANT PROBLEMS, THEY DO NOT BLOW SMALL PROBLEMS OUT OF PROPORTION AND THEY TEACH YOU ABOUT YOUR HOME AND ABOUT IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE ISSUES. THESE TWO INSPECTORS ARE REQUESTED A LOT SO CALL THEM AS SOON AS YOU KNOW YOU ARE NEEDING AN INSPECTION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SOME OF THE INSPECTORS JUST WORK ON WEEKENDS AND ARE NOT AS GOOD, SO REQUEST ONE OF THESE TWO.

THE INSPECTOR WAS VERY THROUGH, I FELT I COULD TRUST HIM

TONY SCALI AT TIGER HOME INSPECTION WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH. TIGERS INSPECTION REPORT WAS VERY DETAILED. I IMMEDIATELY REFERRED HIM TO MY SISTER, WHO HIRED HIM FOR HER HOME INSPECTION.

THEY ARE VERY THOROUGH. IT TOOK 3 HOURS. THE WRITTEN EVALUATION WAS EMAILED WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS.

OUR INSPECTOR, JOHN BECKWITH, HAD BEEN RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND. WE AREN''T PURCHASING A NEW HOME BUT ARE REFINANCING OUR CURRENT MORTGAGE. WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT MAJOR REPAIRS THE HOUSE WOULD NEED IF WE PLANNED ON SELLING. THANKS TO JOHN, WE DISCOVERED A TERMITE PROBLEM THAT MIGHT HAVE GONE UNNOTICED UNTIL TOO LATE. HE WAS PUNCTUAL (ACTUALLY SHOWED UP EARLY) AND INCREDIBLY THOROUGH. HE EXPLAINED A LOT OF THINGS TO ME AS WE WENT THROUGH THE HOUSE. JOHN SPENT OVER 3 HOURS GOING OVER OUR SMALL HOUSE AND HE WROTE UP AN EXTREMELY DETAILED REPORT. THIS INSPECTION WAS THE BEST $250 THAT WE EVER SPENT!

GREAT EXPERIENCE. LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE HOUSE. VERY THOROUGH AND PERSONABLE.
