Veritas Engineering & Inspection, PLLC

We got ripped off. Jeff inspected our garage due to a structural issue we were having. He did a very cursory inspection and would have to come back for another inspection. Mistakenly, we paid Jeff in full, and he was to send us an invoice. It was necessary for us to have an opening made in one wall before he could do a further inspection. Jeff returned for the second inspection. He promised to send us our invoice and a full report with his observations and recommendations on what needed to be done along with names of contractors who could do the work. We have never received anything from Jeff. After some excuses, he never answered or returned our calls. He also did not respond to the Better Business Bureau after we filed a complaint with them. Veritas means "truth" in Latin. That is not what you will get from Veritas Engineering and Inspection.

I left a detailed message with this company, including a callback number, approximately two weeks ago. A week and a half later, I still had not received a callback. Things happen, so I didn't want to assume I had been completely blown off. Therefore, I called again and left a message explaining that I still hadn't received a callback. Once again, I made sure to leave a callback number. Still radio silence.

Is there another or better way to say Perfect? If there is then that’s the word I would start off with. We meet with Tom and I was blown away about the sense of pride he took in his job. Tom went through the home with a fine tooth comb and then re-combed to make sure he didn’t miss anything the first time. He then walked me point by point and showed me the area of concern and suggested several course of actions to address it. Tom was religiously methodical and detailed. It was quite a welcome to see the integrity he put into this inspection. At other inspections I was present at, they were done in 2 hours but Tom didn’t count minutes. He was there over 3 hours in inspecting the home and then took another 30 minutes simply to talk to me about the home. I was nervous about the possibility of purchasing a foreclosed home but because of Tom, I felt very educated about the home after he was done. I highly (and I don’t say this lightly) recommend Veritas and Tom. I only wish, Tom, did construction, painting, driveways, taxes and performed surgery because I would hire him in an instant for all those jobs as well. You can not go wrong hiring them (oh, and a very reasonable fee for what he did). They were less expensive and by and far more detailed than the competition.

It turned out really nice. They were on time, professional and very reliable. They also helped me out to go and speak with the town building inspectors if I needed anything.

It was fabulous. No one could figure out what was wrong with one of the homes we were looking at. This company was able to figure it out and helped us decide not to go with that home. Everything with the home that we live in now, that they inspected, is wonderful! He gave us more knowledge than we could have expected. We had such a good experience. I would and do recommend him to everyone that needs an inspector.

It went very well. They were very thorough and identified some electrical issues for us.
