My inspectyion was great!

The representative arrived on time. Barry went through the entire house, asking questions and was very through. When he came across one required repair, he suggested that his firm would not need to re-inspect the home, since the repair will require a city building permit. The city inspector can issue the certification once the repair is complete. The company did have a slight glitch in emailing the initial report, but the representative warned me on-site that if I didn't get the email that day to send the office a note. I emailed the office and the report was sent within one hour. Otherwise, everything was fine.

Barry is great. He was easy going, friendly, and on-the-dot punctual. As he walked me through the home, his explanations were exceptionally clear and straightforward, and fascinating. He did a great job of explaining problems, how they might be fixed, and how important it was to fix each of them, all the time being sensitive to my level of interest and understanding. He is a good teacher a rare skill! His paper report is similarly thorough, clear, and will be a useful document for years to come. It includes nice photos of problem spots. His radon / air quality report included useful graphs that really showed the data collected, instead of hiding it. The software which prints the air report includes a lot of dire-looking "action needed" warnings, but he explained which of these were actually problems and even guessed the cost of radon mitigation right on the nose. I wish that all the parts of a home purchase were this fun and fascinating!

We were very pleased with the quality of the inspection. Barry was extremely thorough with the inspection and gave us a complete report on site. He was very friendly and courteous and took the time to answer all of our questions. We highly recommend Private Eye Inspections.

Barry was right on time and very professional. He went right to work walking around the house inspecting the exterior despite the 10 inches of snow we got over the weekend. The only required repair I had was the back-flow valve on my exterior faucet and he waited, standing in a snow drift I might add, while I installed the part and even showed me what I needed to do to install it correctly. By morning the next day, he had e-mailed me the report. Price was very reasonable and even better with the Angie's List coupon. There was nothing that I can complain even a little bit about.

Technician was on-time and answered all my questions as I was present for the inspection. Follow-up report was thorough.

There have been many items in our house that are not up to code that were not identified in the inspection. Also, when the first rainfall occurred, we had water leaking into our basement. Looking at the cinderblock walls, you could see water staining from previous leaks. This was not noticed in the inspection. We have spent thousands of dollars repairing plumbing/electrical/water drainage issues in our house that should have been identified and were not in our home inspection. Would not use or recommend this company to anyone.

Minneapolis requires a truth-in-housing inspection as part of selling a home within the city. I used Structure Tech on the advice of my realtor. Rueben was on time and very personable. He seemed to do a thorough job, explained all that he found and helped me understand what things I could fix myself and which things required a professionals touch. He fully explained my options within the Mpls rules and I elected make repairs and then pay Reuben to come back and re-inspect for a "clean" report. One item that Rueben tagged was a missing valve on a gas line that required a plumber. However, the plumber I hired found that the valve already existed and was just hidden - Rueben had (understandably) missed it. When I told Rueben, he offered (before I even asked) to waive his fee for the second inspection as I had to take time off work and could have been charged for an unneeded plumber visit. I found that totally acceptable and appreciated his willingness to be accountable for the "error."

Responsive to our initial call; arrived as scheduled; performed all work according to what they promised; additional inspection proved that there was damage in all locations where they indicated there was a problem. The report was thorough and provided a list of attorneys and remediation contractors.

This saved me a lot of money by them not having to come out. The person I spoke to, Barry, helped me even though I was using wrong terminology to identify the problem. He was very informative and patient.

Barry inspected the home prior to our arrival, took numerous pictures of problem areas, and gave full printed report on the entire home. He walked us through the house pointing out areas which would require immediate attention and also ones which should be looked at over time. He was very informative.

EXCELLENT SERVICE, THEY SEEM TO REALLY KNOW THEIR STUFF. VERY NICE DETAILED REPORT WITH PHOTOS IN A THREE RING BINDER.

I HAD A LIST OF INSPECTORS THAT ARE LICENSED BY THE CITY AND I COMPARED THAT LIST TO ANGIE'S LIST TO DETERMINE WHO I WOULD CALL. THESE FOLKS WERE GREAT. THEY GOT RIGHT ON MY CALENDAR AND WERE THERE AND DID THE INSPECTION QUICKLY. I APPRECIATED THEIR ADVICE AND THEIR QUICK TURN AROUND.

WE HAVE USED NEIL IN THE PAST, AS WELL AS RECENTLY, AND HAVE FOUND HIS INSPECTIONS TO BE THOROUGH, WELL DOCUMENTED, AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. IN ADDITION, HE IS A GOOD LISTENER AND WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR WHICH HE FEELS COMPETENT. HE HAS ALSO REFERRED US TO COMPANIES THAT COULD REMEDIATE PROBLEMS.

THEY WERE ON TIME, VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND VERY THOROUGH. THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE END, HELPED DECIDE NOT TO PURCHASE THIS PARTICULAR HOME.

THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF POINTING OUT GOOD AND BAD POINTS, AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS. COULDN'T HAVE HAD A BETTER EXPERIENCE, UNLESS IT HADN'T RAINED WHILE LOOKING AT THE ROOF.
