Fantastic guy!!!
Description of Work: If you are looking for a punctual honest and knowledgeable guy? Look no further!!! I called Chuck to come inspect a property I was planing to buy. He arrived on time and after a short look at the property he called me to tell me to save my money and get a contractor. That his service is not needed and that he won't take my money. He took his time to explain to me why he thinks that the inspection is a waist of time and money and he was right on! Can't recommend more...

This is the first home inspection we've ever been a part of and it was for a very old house (1910). We had read great reviews about Chuck on Angie's List and decided to give him a call. He arranged his schedule so he could see us VERY early and even gave the name and number of a client he just did an inspection for - she was very enthusiastic about his thoroughness. Chuck was at the property early and was busily checking the outside when we arrived. He walked us through the whole inspection, answered many questions and was very helpful in showing and explaining everything that was good/bad about certain parts of the place. We received the report within 72 hours of the inspection and it was very detailed. The radon testing wasn't done (reflected in the price), as he told us at the end of the inspection it probably would be a better idea to do it another day when the results would be more accurate (we had a lot of open doors happening). All in all, the inspection took a little over 2 hours and we left knowing a lot more about the property we were considering.
Description of Work: Chuck provided us with a very in-depth home inspection.

Appointment was made to fit our schedule, very flexible. Chuck was a blast. Explained as he went around the property about what he was looking for and things we should know about the house. Inspection report was detailed with photos. Overall a very positive experience!! Thanks Chuck!!
Description of Work: Home inspection and radon test done by Chuck was such a wonderful experience. He was kind thorough and explained as he did the inspection what he was testing for and why and if it wasn't up to code, how to fix it.

We chose not to buy the first property but when we needed another home inspection there was no one else we would have trusted to call. Thankfully Chuck was available and did a wonderful job for us yet again. He has state of the art equipment and I had the report on my blackberry before we even left the property. We have ABSOLUTELY no hesitation recommending Above Grade Home Inspections, Chuck is great and LOVES his job. We found him highly qualified, personable and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: This was our 2nd time using Chucks Company. I found him while researching another company that had been recommended , Angies List rated them (the other company)with a D, needless to say Above Grade's "A rating" seemed far superior! Chuck was very easy to deal with, we got along famously and felt he was immediately on our side.

Chuck was very thorough in his explanations and didn't gloss over any issues that he saw. He's the type of person you want involved with one of the biggest purchases of your life. Chuck was extremely helpful throughout the process and was quick to respond to follow up questions. Will definitely use again.

See above...it was an excellent experience from the initial contact to it's conclusion, which was one of the determining reasons I bought the home I now live in. I have full confidence in Above Grade as a reputable, and reliable company.
Description of Work: Full pre-purchase inspection and detailed report. Clear and concise information about the house I now own. I was able to contact Above Grade with any questions, at any time about the lengthy, well written report. Very, Very happy with the professionalism, not only in the report, but in dealing with the person. I would recommend this man, Chuck Sweed, to anyone to have their house inspected by his company Above Grade before purchasing a new home. If there is someone who can find someone who can find a problem, he's the man!

Very quickly responded to our inquiry, was efficient in scheduling our appointment and very crisp on how much he would charge us. At the inspection, Chuck arrived early and scoped out the house. Unlike many who have been doing this job for many years, he remains very curious and enthusiastic, welcomes questions and showed patience and diligence throughout the entire process. He spent several hours going through the house in detail and even looked at a couple of things that weren't a part of the inspection. He's a no brainer to use again and recommend.
Description of Work: Chuck thoroughly inspected our home using both vast experience and a lot of instruments. We have had several home inspections done in the past, and he was significantly more thorough than others, not just looking to see that things were in order but pointing out where materials or workmanship were unusually good or poor in quality, where we were likely to have problems down the road and why, and how we could improve the efficiency of the home's insulation. His inspection was highly educational.

The quality of information and professionalism exhibited by Chuck was so far beyond expectation. We were able to arrange for an inspection within 2 days of our accepted offer. Chuck was waiting for us at the property when we arrived at the appointment. He comes with a full array of tools to get the best information possible during the inspection. He took the time to show us what he was seeing and explain how that translated into what we could reasonable expect. We received our written report within 24 hours after the inspection was finished. The report was a detailed, 20+ page document with pictures and thermal imaging and covered everything we needed and more. The radon report came separately as that test takes additional time. I could not be more satisfied then I am with Above Grade.
Description of Work: Chuck did a full home, insect and radon inspection for a property we were purchasing.

Chuck showed up same day of phone call for estimate, he took about 45 mins to review our basement and home, and listened to our concerns. He showed up to install the system 2 days later (exactly when he said he would). Chuck is very knowledgeable, courteous, professional and cleaned up after himself. We are very pleased with our radon mitigation system.
Description of Work: Provided estimate and then installed Radon Mitigation System. Involves drilling hole in basement floor and basement wall (through siding). Installing pipe system to suck the radon gas from beneath the house and disperses outside into the open air.
