Description of Work: Extremely thorough inspection provided me with information on home that was understandable to the layman and ultimately saved me from making a bad investment.

+ -1 morePerformed full building inspection for a home under contract in Freeport. Eric had also inspected a previous home purchased in Bridgton. Within a few days Eric emailed an 80-page report with photos of each issue that can easily be emailed to contractors for quotes. Eric and another gentleman went through the entire house, inside and out, foundation to roof. Not only was Eric thorough but also a good communicator. Throughout the inspection if he thought there might be something I should see he made sure to show me personally as well as document with photographs.

home inspection
+ -1 moreIt went very well, as described above.
Description of Work: Eric Gay performed a general building inspection on a condominium that my wife and I are buying. Eric arrived on time, outlined what he would be doing, told us as he went along what he was finding, let us know what was important versus what was just incidental, spent a long time examining the exterior including the roof, the crawl space below the unit, and all parts of the interior. He proved himself very knowledgeable and very able to communicate his knowledge to us. He told us the expected life of various components of the condo and likely costs of improvement or replacement. He was courteous, wrote a detailed report which he emailed to us in a very short time, and promptly answered a few follow-up questions which we sent to him. I would certainly recommend him to others.

home inspection
+ -1 moreEric was able to schedule an appointment with me on one day's notice, which was extremely helpful in the rush and chaos of buying a new home. He showed up on time and was personable and friendly while doing his job. The in-person inspection went just fine, and then Eric followed up by email (my preferred medium) with a nicely-formatted and detailed report with a ton of pictures. I was able to use the report to guide followup work. I've now been living in the house for about 7 weeks, and I haven't encountered anything that Eric missed!

home inspection
+ -1 moreHe was able to find some things in my home, but my biggest issue was windows. The window in my kitchen, I thought was a sliding window, but I have since some to find out that it was a double hung window that was installed incorrectly and has become water-logged. There was another window in a bedroom that water had gotten into the glaze and has need to be replaced. The previous owners have added a perpendicular garage to the house at the cost of un-installing a window and reinstalling one incorrectly. Another issue is, a major leak in the hot water faucet for the laundry in my basement and a bathroom fan is not working well either. I'm not saying that he didn't find anything, he did find a number of things, but I am upset that he is not taking responsibility for the things he did not find.
Description of Work: I had a home inspection that I was very disappointed in. Not because of his responsiveness but because it has costed me a lot of money since then. I have tried on several occasions to contact him, my realtor called him and he finally admitted that he felt he had no responsibility in the matter. When asked about insurance, he said he was covered, but that my issues were would not qualify.
