home inspection
+ -1 moreJay inspected our first home and as new home owners we were extremely pleased with our experience. He answered our endless list of questions and his inspection report was thorough and concise. He went above what was expected to make sure every corner of the house was checked during the visit, was very open and friendly along the way and explained things in a direct and easy to understand manner. He also saved us thousands of dollars by telling us not to replace our old water heater and AC unit until it went out. On paper it should have been done so 10+ years ago (and by others we were recommended to do so ), but we are still using it a year later with zero issues. I would recommend and will use him in the future.

home inspection
+ -1 moreHere is what was in the inspection report. It was cut directly and pasted with no changes or alterations. Please be sure to note his only recommendation/observation. There was a sizeable hole in the coil and a large ice build-up. It cost me $1000.00 to repair and 4 days in a hot house to get it fixed. Positive Attributes The capacity and configuration of the system should be sufficient for the home. Upon testing in the air conditioning mode, a normal temperature drop across the evaporator coil was observed (57 at supply side and 73 at return side). This suggests that the system is operating properly. The system responded properly to operating controls. General Comments The system shows no visible evidence of major defects. recommendations / observations Central Air Conditioning improve: The dirty air filter should be replaced every 30 – 60 days
Description of Work: I hired Benchmark for a whole home inspection. Jay came out and spent quite a bit of time in the home I was about to purchase. I was initially very pleased, but things changed drastically after only 3 days of owning the home when the A/C system crapped out. To this day, I still am not certain that he did anything technically wrong by the terms of the inspection contract but I am certain that I feel really let down by his inspection.

home inspection
+ -1 moreExcellent home inspector...as a potential homeowner, take the time to listen and learn so you do not make costly decisions or mistakes. Always ask questions...they are never too dumb.
Description of Work: Home Inspection. I had a lot of questions listed, but Jay answered them all before I could even ask them. Benchmark came out with a day's notice, which I was so thankful for as it was a limited time frame. Hen spent hours there and went through the entire house in detail. The report (which was received overnight was detailed and thorough, including pictures, serious issues and just run of the mill times he felt we should pursue. If time is money, this service was worth a small fortune, and I found him intense, open and honest about everything, including the fact that he stated the home was in good shape, but just had never been updated. He also gave me an idea of what the larger items would cost to repair or replace. If you want an education about your home before you buy it, find someone who is not afraid to spend time with you nor give opinions. He had nothing to gain by this information financially, yet helped me to make good estimations.
