George Ury is awesome. He's extremely thorough and has a good sense of humor so he's fun to work with. He did a great job for me and I would recommend Structure Tech to any buyer who wants a good inspector.
Description of Work: I'm the buyer of a house and I needed the house inspected. I also payed an extra $150 for a radon test which was optional. $614 includes the radon test. The inspection alone was $464.

I was able get an appointment in 5 rather than the standard 7 days. Tessa was professional, highly skilled and thorough. As a first time home-buyer, she walked me through everything and explained all of her findings. I felt very comfortable that was getting a comprehensive home evaluation. The plumber was equally professional...handed me the video (with voice over) of the sewer inspection immediately! As a visual person...the report with photos was excellent!!

Milind conducted THREE inspections for us in the past month. The reason there were three was because Milind uncovered some major issues that would have cost us thousands and thousands of dollars. He spotted an issue with some plumbing material that is known to fail that unfortunately was missed by multiple other inspectors from other companies. If you want someone who is thorough, professional and all around top notch at what he does, look no further than Milind. He will put your mind at ease before you enter into the largest purchase of your life. THANK YOU MILIND!!!

Structure Tech is extremely thorough in their inspections and worth their price, which is slightly higher than other inspection companies. It is absolutely worth the extra ~$100 to uncover something another company may not. We have worked with them twice and couldn't be happier. Ask for Pat the Inspector, he is fantastic, explains things very well, and makes the job fun as well. Highly recommend.

StructureTech has several inspectors, all of whom have a reputation for thoroughness. Bill from StructureTech was great to have on the case, he inspected every corner of the house, inside and out, and talked through everything he was seeing at every key point of the inspection. He delivered a very thorough report with detailed photos and explanations, and was responsive after the fact with follow-up questions and recommendations of specialists, contractors, and relevant information on the ST website, which is a great resource. They are probably a little more expensive than most inspectors, but well worth it in value and peace of mind when buying a home.
Description of Work: We needed a home inspection after making an offer on a house. Our agent recommended StructureTech, and I'm glad she did. We had an home inspection, radon test, and sewer inspection. This review is for the home inspection.

I have shared our inspection experience with many of my friends as it represents the best of customer service in every way. Our inspector Nick Pickert is outstanding. He helped save us countless hours of time as well as money when uncovering things that needed to be fixed at the new house. He was thorough, well informed and extremely pleasant and fun to work with. He was an advocate for us as clients and spoke always in our best interests when evaluating the home we were buying. He helped us tremendously with the house we were selling with a very useful inspection there as well. He was trustworthy and absolutely straightforward with his assessments. We will always use this company going forward and highly recommend that others do too.

Our inspector Tessa was great. She walked us through the entire home and explained everything to us. This is our first home buying experience so she also helped us learn how to winterize the home. She caught a plumbing issue that we would not have caught on our own. This will likely save us a lot of money as we now negotiate a new sale price. Thank you to Tessa from Structure Tech!

I was blown away by the detailed and knowledgeable report we got from Structure Tech! If you want to understand a home you're considering buying, this is the company for you. Plus, they explained everything they did along the way and answered every question I had. It was nice they talked in my language, and not techno-babble. I have lived in the house for 17 months now and everything that has broken the last 17 months was on their detailed summary--aside from an outdoor faucet that couldn't be tested since it was winter :) There's no need to look at other companies. This is the one for all buyers. Thanks Structure Tech!

Well beyond expectations. Wayne went far out of his way to get a look at the air conditioning unit on the roof of a condo building (even after I had indicated it wasn't necessary) and discovered that we were going to need a new unit very soon.

Inspector arrived on time, and well prepared. The inspector was knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He spent more time doing the inspection than we expected, for no additional charge. The detailed report was completed and received the same day, even though he left the house at 4pm.

I got a recommendation from a friend of mine who had a 5-star experience with Structure Tech inspecting their home last Fall. Neil was the Inspector for my home, a 1948 single-family home. It was his son who performed my friend's home inspection. Outstanding experience - worth every penny! Neil is a true professional; confirmed, on time/ahead of time actually, asked what my concerns were to start off, and then executed an amazingly methodical, thorough and deliberate inspection. Despite my random interruptions where'd he stop to enlighten me, he remained very focused and engaged in the job he was there to perform. I really appreciate that! He was truly unbiased and factual. The electronic report was delivered right away the next morning with copious pictures, explanations and recommendations. I'm now 100% confident in my home-buying decision! I'd HIGHLY recommend Neil and Structure Tech, without hesitation.

Everything went very well. Wayne was able to taik and teach and work at the same time. (see above space for details) He did not shy away from questions or difficult conditions. I was very impressed with the hands on experience and the reports.He did use several different tech devices for accurate diagnosis. He kept a positive attitude the entire time and remained focused on the task while explaining what was going on and why. Also,setting up the appointment via phone, email confirmations and quick response time to my questions made me feel prioritized and anxiety free..Even the initial online contract was easy to read and sign.
Description of Work: Wayne Rademacher inspected a home I was thinking of purchasing .My daughter and I did a lengthy walk thru the house together with Wayne. He was very patient and informative with explaining details, terms ,physics and mechanics .He was also very thorough and emailed me a clear ,concise report with photos, text ,links and recommendations within 3 hours of leaving the property. It was prioritized and included safety/code violation issues. and colour coded keys A concise separate "summary" report was included. Overall it was actually a fun learning experience.

Fabulously. Bill Oelrich was the assigned inspector. He thoroughly reviewed the house from top to bottom and gave me a lot of helpful information not only on the specific subjects that he thought needed work but also information on what seemed to be particularly well done and on regular maintenance items to keep in mind. His write-up of the inspection with pictures is an excellent guide to the house for purchase purposes but also for living in the property. The inspection was worth every penny I paid for it. I would use this company and inspector again. (They also provided radon testing services, not included in the price below.)

George Ury did the inspection. He was with us for nearly 4 hours. He would stop and fully explain anything we asked a question on; he helped us understand the hazards and the risks in the home. Without George, we may have purchased a home that had more repairs needed to become safe then we had money for. We explained to George that we needed a lot of detail so we could go back to the estate trustee and explain the need to renegotiate the price of the home, if the deal was to go through. George provided a 42 page detailed report with plenty of clear explanations and pictures.
Description of Work: Home inspection for a property we were buying from an estate in 'as is' condition. Given we planned to buy the property 'as is' we needed to fully understand all the issues and we had a lot of questions that needed to be answered. The property is in poor condition; we were trying to understand if it was fixable within our budget.

Awesome! The inspector, Milind, spent a lot of time trying to find the cause, and eventually found that it was due to condensation in the attic. There was a little confusion about what the inspection would cover. I misunderstood, but they took the time to clarify what the inspection covered. They were very good at communicating with me and making sure my needs were met. Due to a small misunderstanding,Milind actually came back a second time at no charge to make it right.He was very professional, respectful, and kind, and he really took the time to be very thorough with his inspection. They even gave me a complimentary written report, in order to help me understand the scope of the findings, and to use as a future reference.
