Description of Work: Mr. Drummey is hands down the most thorough and prompt home inspector that we have ever used. |He saved us from buying a house that needed expensive repairs. We would have been in a world of hurt if we had bought the house and THEN watched things crumble and rot...the house probably would have sustained water damage before we noticed anything!

Description of Work: This is an edit to a previous review. We purchased our new home in August 2013. Maury did two home inspections for us and at the time we were very happy with him. Shortly after we moved in we noticed a giant crack in the retaining wall. We figured it wasn't that big of an issue since Maury marked it on his report as being fully functional. After doing some work to the house (unrelated to the retaining wall) we had several professionals advise us to get it looked at for obvious safety reasons. We hired a structural engineer come out to take a look and he deemed it to be in failure. We have had several companies come out to give us quotes to fix the retaining wall and have received estimates for upwards of $20,000. I am so disappointed that Maury didn't catch this especially since we were repeat customers. We NEVER would have purchased this home knowing this money was going to have to be poured into it.

home inspection
+ -1 moreMR. DRUMMEY WAS A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH. HE RETURNED MY PHONE CALL PROMPTLY AND ARRIVED EXACTLY ON TIME FOR OUR APPOINTMENT. HE WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH AND EXPLAINED IN DETAIL ALL OF HIS FINDINGS AS HE INSPECTED THE HOUSE'S EXTERIOR, AND THEN THE THREE FLOORS OF THE INTERIOR. HE EMAILED ME A COPY OF HIS REPORT THE NEXT DAY, AND A HARD COPY OF THE REPORT ARRIVED SHORTLY AFTER. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE SEEKING A HOUSING INSPECTION.
Description of Work: INSPECTED HOME. DID NOT DO AN INSPECTION FOR TERMITES OR TEST FOR RADON.

+ -1 moreMR. DRUMMY WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH IN HIS INSPECTION, PROVIDED INFORMATION AND ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. IN ADDITION, HIS REPORT REFERENCES TO PHOTOS TAKEN DURING THE INSPECTION (WHICH WERE INCLUDED). HE ALSO PROVIDED A SCALE UPON WHICH HE GRADED VARIOUS COMPONENTS SO IT WAS CLEAR WHAT WAS IN NEED OF ATTENTION. FINALLY, HE HIGHLIGHTED PARTICULAR PROBLEM AREAS TO ADDRESS AND WAS HELPFUL IN SUGGESTING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS (WHO TO CALL, WHAT TO ASK FOR) FOR THESE PROBLEMS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. DRUMMY.
