MERIDIAN HOME INSPECTION LLC

Greg was responsive in every way. Report was detailed and he completely answered all my questions.

He gave us a good recommendation, and did not charge us for this.

He could've come to the house and made money from us. He even said I could call him back if I have any questions. He does mitigation (of course) and if we need that, my guess is we'll use him. We used another inspector (also rated well in AL) to do the inspection (which lead us to wanting to do long term) but he wasn't very responsive when we did the follow-up and I really liked the guy. But if you don't respond promptly, I will not use you. I'm ordering the kit. I'll let you know what happens with the mitigation work as I believe we will want it.

Greg was at the home before i arrived, and was very pleasant. He patiently answered my many questions. Initially my real estate agent was skeptical because I did not go with the inspector that she recommended, but she ended up asking for his card. He went over every issue with the house, never seemed rushed. I felt he wanted to be very thorough.

Great professionalism, highly recommend to others! Showed up on time, flexible in schedule, great phone courtesy. Quick turnaround on receipts and reports. Also got my approval before sharing the report with my realtor, a courtesy I did not expect. He also offers water testing, but we declined the service.

Greg was extremely thorough in his inspection and wrote a very thorough and professional report. He did not rush but spent a lot of time on all the details of the house and explained issues to me whenever they arose. I've used inspectors in the past and would rate Greg as the best I've used.

Mr. Peterson has a professional, clear, and relaxed way of communicating that makes working with him a pleasant experience. The home inspection took approximately 4 hours and afterwards he walked me through the home and explained his findings. The inspection was completed on Friday afternoon and the resport was ready for viewing by Sunday, prior to when promised. The report was detailed and very clear. My contractor stated that it was one of the best home inspections he had ever seen. I would use Greg again and would recommend him to family and friends. Very knowledgeable and provided an A+ service.

Greg was extremely professional and meticulous. The inspection lasted around four hours for our 2000 sq ft home. He checked everything and pointed out any current problems and future problems that may arise. He advised us on how to fix the problems and told us if he thought that it was a DIY answer or if we needed a trained professional solution. He was very patient with my questions, which were numerous, and gave me in-depth and educated answers. Because the vents were open in the crawl space, and there were no covers for them, he was very honest with us, and told us, that it wouldn't be an accurate test to do the radon test in a non-sealed environment. So he saved us money from doing the test then, but he suggested that we do test it once the vents are sealed. It's so rare to find someone who thinks of the consumer's best interest and not their own profit, so we genuinely appreciated this.

EXCELLENT - We used Meridian's services on two prospective homes and could not be more delighted with his service and the results of his inspections.

I have had a couple of home inspections before and Greg was by far the best. Greg took his time and let me walk with him. He answered every single question I had. He gave me pointers and references. Due to a big storm my radon test was high and re-tested for me to make me feel comfortable. No charge. Great Inspector. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend the services provided by Meridian Home Inspection. My 780 SqFt log cabin was inspected by Greg Peterson . Mr. Peterson took 3.5 hours testing every electrical socket, every appliance, every window, everything. As the inspection progressed, Greg patiently explained what he was doing, pointed-out deficiencies, and suggested remedies. Greg displayed his in-depth knowledge of all systems within the cabin and was able to communicate his findings clearly without confusing technical jargon. One day after the inspection, Greg produced a 50 page report that contained 51 annotated pictures illustrating his findings. Best of all, I found the cost of the inspection extremely reasonable. In short, I found the inspection an educational experience that taught me how to maintain my log cabin. I would recommend Meridian without hesitation.

Without Greg, our home's foundation would have continued to weaken and our heating & cooling bills would have remained unnecessarily high. Greg was courteous, professional and most importantly a life saver. I have a already recommended Greg to others as his service is invaluable.

Easy communication, prompt service and great detail.

I followed him around on the inspection and he explained everything to me

Before coming to the inspection, Greg requests the MLS info. He seems to have a feel for the property before he sees it. He arrived on time, if not early, as usual. He introduced himself and then explained exactly how the home inspection would proceed. He looked around the outside and checked various things, explaining as he went. He got out his tools and ladder and climbed up on the roof to inspect everything up there. Then he went in and did a very detailed inspection, noticing every little thing and explaining as he went. He not only explains problems, but good things as well - and he gives home maintenance advice that's excellent for the new homeowner. As he goes, he takes photos and uses the camera microphone to record comments. Some of this is to record problems and some is for the general information of the client - such as where the water shut-off is for the house. The inspection report is prepared at home, not on the site as some inspectors do it. That may take longer, but I think the result is much better. He doesn't rush - it's more important to him to do an excellent job. Greg is a very pleasant person, an excellent communicator and very thorough. If you want someone who is just very fast, don't hire Greg. He takes his time and gets the job done right.

From the first phone contact with Greg Peterson, the owner of Mountain Air Mechanical Contractors, we felt we were in the hands of someone who is not only competent and professional, but also has integrity. No slick sales manner here! Greg was patient in working around our tight schedule. During his assessment of the system, inside and outside, he patiently answered questions most knowledgeably and also pointed out deficiencies in the original installation. He even made it clear that they did not need to be addressed at this time. It became obvious that Greg does his best to save his customers money. He installed the fan while we were away and followed up to be sure that all was working as expected. We strongly recommend this company and its owner in the highest terms. It

couldn't have been better, took advantage of some drainage work previously done in the basement to setup a great radon reduction system

Greg was extremely pleasant to work with, very knowledgeable, communicative and thorough. When we arrived at the appointed time he was already on the roof checking it out. As he went through the entire house, he managed to answer questions, which he invited us to ask, as well as keep up an efficient pace. He took digital photos of all "issues" which turned up in his multi-page color report. He was very relaxed and explained to us some house systems we were not familiar with (heat pumps being one.) His many years in the home construction trade were evident. Unlike another member who decided against buying a house after Greg's inspection revealed problems, we were very encouraged to learn how well built and maintained our new house was. So either way, you can rely on Greg for a thorough look at a property. And we had his full report in less than 24 hours.

He is very professional and very detailed. He spent over two hours on site and sent a very detailed report including pictures.

We found Meridian through Angie's List and called for a house inspection.

I contacted Greg at Meridian. Greg was courteous and professional. He asked what I needed and why, and set up an appointment during that initial phone call, and told me how much it would cost up front. Greg followed up to confirm the appointment, and arrived on time. He was well equipped, and thoroughly examined my roof and attic, even taking photos in the attic for me to see. He looked for signs of previous leaks, evaluated insulation and bathroom exhaust venting. On the roof, he looked at chimney, flashing, shingles, nail holes, and walked to discover weak areas. He explained that sometimes a leak can be identified and fixed, sometimes the fix makes another problem, and gave me useful tips about my situation. It was the best $75 worth of information and advice I've ever gotten.

Greg is excellent and highly professional. He showed up early, stayed as long as it took to get the job done right, and prepared the follow-up report in an extremely timely manner and in great detail. He obviously takes pride in his work, and is more than happy for the homeowner or potential buyer to accompany him through his tasks, taking the tame to explain his findings and/or explain proper operation.

Greg and Gina responded quickly to my request for an estimate for radon mitigation. They worked quickly and considered several options for solving the problem of a very high radon level. Greg even filled areas around a drain for a newly installed shower to prevent entrance of radon gas. Both were very professional and I felt entirely comfortable with them in my home. I would recommend Meridian to anyone needing help with radon mitigation or home inspection.

We had just purchased a house and saw extremely high radon levels (peaking as high as 11 and averaging at 4.1 pCi/l) when we tested during the initial inspection. Researching the subject led us to the decision of having a mitigation system installed and, through the EPA website, to Greg Peterson's contact information. We felt comfortable in calling him as he is certified by the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) and the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB). Mr. Peterson came to look at the house and described in detail the testing that would occur to determine the final plan of installation of the system. We received a proposal, an estimate of cost and pre-mitigation radon test results (3.8 pCi/l). It was determined that our house, built in 1966, was not sitting atop a bed of gravel, but compacted clay, making extraction of radon from beneath the slab more difficult. Yet a slightly more powerful fan was installed to remedy this - as opposed to what I thought would be multiple points of extraction. Making the job even neater, Mr. Peterson made extra efforts to dig the hole for the pipe in the floor of the machine room next to the water heater - instead of through the floor of a finished closet as was originally planned - and route it above the door of the closet and then through the wall. The end result, both inside and out, is unimposing and even aesthetically pleasing. The post-mitigation radon test average was .3 pCi/l. I'm not sure what else there is to say. The end result is a radon mitigation system that looks great and performs beyond expectation.

I wish that I could have experiences with contractors that are this pleasant all the time! Greg came to give us an estimate when he said he would, provided complete details about the project, showed up when he said he would, completed the work, verified that the system was working, and cleaned up (leaving my house in better condition than when he arrived!).
