Beach Home Inspections LLC

I wouldn't use Adam again. We found him to be completely rude. Putting his arrogance aside, his work was incomplete and he missed several things during our inspection. If we could rate him in the negative, we would. I would never recommend him to inspect a property. We heard good and bad things about him so decided to give him a try. We are new to the area and called him after reading this one review before ours in 2... view more012. He missed so many important things to the house we were going to buy and his prices are much more expensive than most in the area. When the inspection was complete, he didn't discuss things that we needed to know - the main valve for the water was leaking during his inspection and he MISSED it. We found out through the owners of the house and they reported his work as being completely sloppy and lazy. Please do your research before you hire him. Adam with Beach Home Inspections was dishonest to my husband and myself. He assured us he would give us half our money back and admitted to doing half the work.

Needless to say, he wasn't good for his word on two occasions. My husband and I never expected Adam to do the right thing by us after he was paid, but we were hopeful. We are completely dissatisfied with his work, his professionalism, his mannerism, and his worth ethic. Like all contractors, you will hear good and bad. Just because we had a bad experience, doesn't mean you will. Do your homework before you hire him. His website recommends the buyer/seller/real estate agent not be present for the inspection process because it can slow the process down and distract the inspector. The choice is yours. You're paying your inspector and I wish we had come for our inspection. We didn't because he was adamant we didn't need to be there, that he would go over the inspection when he was finished. We've been through buying and selling homes several times, and we have always been on site during the inspection period. Our previous inspectors walked us through the property to show us where the main breaker was located, water valves, and explained to us in full detail about the home. Adam did not do that. He literally spent 10 minutes with us. That time was used to trash the home owners and get paid. We were completely in the fog about the condition of the house, leaving our agent to get a contractor involved to do what Adam was paid for.
