Chris and Tom were very professional and courteous while performing the inspection of the home we purchased. They were on-time, actually a few minutes early, for the appointment, went over everything with us about what was included and what was excluded from the inspection. Chris explained all of his findings to us and provided possible ways to fix the easy things that didn't require professional contractors to fix. He also explained the more complex things that needed to be fixed by professional contractors. By doing this, he gave us the knowledge of what ask for when we requested the current home owners fix a few of the complex issues. The report Chris gave out in the end is very thorough and easy to understand. He provides an e-mail copy of the report very quickly, so you have time to compile your list of requirements to send over to the current home owner. Then he follows up by sending a professionally bound copy in the mail for you to keep and reference for the future, so you don't lose track of other items you may want to address on your own down the road. Great Job Chris and Tom!

I am a "Holmes on Homes" addict so, I was expecting a lot out of Inspector Chris... and, I am happy to say, he delivered! There is always a time crunch when it comes to getting a home inspected within the time frame of a purchase contract. Chris called us back right away and set up a date that worked for us. He was prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. He inspected the house from top to bottom, inside and out, and gave us a detailed report, with photographs, that was over 100 pages long. He emailed us a PDF file of the report and sent us a bound copy by snail mail. He provided clear, unbiased information that we were able to use to negotiate a better deal with the seller. This is actually the second time we used Inspector Chris in our search for a home. The first time, he alerted us to numerous problems with the home's electrical system and foundation that were too big for us to handle - he saved us a lot of heartache and money... Which led us to the house we have today... We highly recommend Inspector Chris and are grateful for his insight and his honesty.

Chris Green was very professional, punctual, knew a lot of details about relevant building codes, and was able to quickly assess actual situation vs code or standard. He also had inspected a lot of older homes, which this house was, and was able to give relevant advice about what condition should be expected for this age house. He had an excellent process, the report was much higher quality and thoroughness than I expected, and Chjris was very proficient and productive in his use of time.

I purchased a big deal for this service and it turned out excellent. He came here and did a roof top, radon, termite and checked outlets. He did all sorts of stuff. We earlier had him look at a property that we did not end up getting and then we had him look at another one. His customer service is pretty excellent and he explained everything. He said he had a construction background and so he explained it to me, who doesn't, as to what and why things are the way they are so that was very helpful. We had some issues with getting the reports. They kept getting kicked back saying they were undeliverable. He took pictures and it was nice to know he was not sloughing off or that we were not getting brushed off. He responded pretty promptly to any emails I sent.

Thank you for the review. You had agreed to the price and this was not just a single family home inspection. This was an apartment building inspection with more than 1 dwelling. As far as customer service I replied to your every call and email and you even wanted me to inspect another building but failed to call back. Thank you again for the review.

Chris and his team were very professional, on time and very thorough in the inspection of a very large home. I was encouraged to follow behind during the inspection and ask questions. They did multiple tests as are needed on this year of home. I felt he has a vast knowledge of all aspects of structural, mechanical, and safety aspects that are valuable when purchasing any home. He was willing to speak to the sellers vendors who were making repairs and answer any questions that they had. Though the inspection was several weeks ago he is willing to return soon to go over the report with one of the purchasers who was not able to be present at time of inspection. I would certainly call Chris and his team in the future before we list the home in order to make sure that we have addressed all issues that might concern a future buyer.

Chris had several discussions with the engineering company and despite their reluctance to go on the roof due to the steep pitch, he was able to show the damage from the ladder of the soft metals. In addition, he called on a certified roofer and the certified roofer sided with Chris. While we are still in the final phase of resolving the issue with the insurance company, I trust Chris will continue to push to a get a fair and equitable solution. I will provide a final review upon final agreement with the insurance company.
Description of Work: Chris Green is very knowledgeable and professional home inspector, He know his stuff very well. I hired Chris to inspect our roof after noticing damage and leak after a storm and the insurance company denied the claim. Chris inspected our roof for storm (hail & wind damage), completed a detailed report and took the time to explain it to me. Chris took the lead working and persuading the engineering company representing the insurance company of the extent of the damage and got them to agree that the roof suffered significant damage. Please keep in mind that my insurance company denied the claim twice before and it is very difficult to work with them. Many homes on our street suffered storm damage and their insurance companies were very responsive and paid claims timely. So if you have an issue with your insurance, you are in good hands with Chris not with the insurance company. That is just a slogan, not real. Of course any home inspection needs, Chris will do you good.

I contacted Chris to do a complete home and termite inspection as well as a radon test on a home that I am planning to purchase. Chris quickly arranged the appointment for the inspection through the seller's realtor. On the date of inspection, he and his assistant arrived on time. His inspection was extremely thorough. He took the time to clearly explain his findings and answered any and all questions I had. During the inspection, equipment was set up to conduct a 48 hour radon test and the results were included with the report. Chris provided a very detailed inspection report. I quickly received an electronic copy by email and he followed up with a nice hard bound paper copy. The report included detailed findings with pictures and recommendations. He also includes items such as models and serial numbers for appliances and HVAC equipment, which will be handy for future reference. I was able to use information from Chris' inspection to have issues fixed by the seller prior to closing. I was extremely pleased with his services and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

We were very impressed with his services. He was extremely thorough and detailed. He really took his time explaining everything to my husband and I- which we needed as this is our first house! He found many issues with the house and as a result saved us thousands of dollars! In my opinion he went above and beyond my expectations. Because he found damage on the roof, he needed to met with the sellers insurance adjuster and another inspector at a later date. We highly recommend him and would definitely use him again!

I normally use another house inspector but due to scheduling conflicts, I gave inspector Chris a call. He responded very quickly and was priced competitively. He came out to do an inspection on a multi-family home and within minutes identified major deal-ending issues. He was kind enough to not charge me full price and explained why the house was a lemon. The headache and thousands of dollars Inspector Chris saved me were worth every penny and more. I am eternally thankful to him and would highly, highly recommend!

Thank you [member name removed] for the review. I would not want to see anyone get a raw deal especially on a multi family with the issues that were found and I felt it in need to contact you and discuss it prior to continuing instead of continuing and charging a full price when I knew in my mind the issues I found was a deal breaker

Inspector Chris is sharp! I strongly recommend choosing Inspector Chris if you are looking to buy or sell your home, and even to have a pro evaluate your home systems for longevity.
Description of Work: Inspector Chris did the home inspection for my son's home in Cincinnati Ohio. I was very impressed with the inspector's knowledge, attention to detail, and the information provided on site and later in the report. My son received a 3-ring book about 80 pages long, filled with great information about his home infrastructure, and continued maintenance.

Chris arrived on time and got straight to work going over the home with me. I appreciated Chris explaining the areas of the home he was inspecting and giving me insight to future maintenance and potential issues. At no time did I feel Chris was rushing and he really showed pride in his work. We had another inspection performed one week earlier and the "inspector" said everything was good with the home we were buying. After finding this inspector was not ASHI Certified, I contacted Chris after finding him here on Angie's List. Chris answered the phone when I called at 9:00 pm and quickly scheduled my inspection. Chris saved us from a potential huge repair had we not found him. You cannot go wrong with this inspector and I will certainly use him again if I need an inspection. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Inspector Chris performed a whole house inspection on a home we are in the process of buying. I was more than impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and expertise. Not only did Chris identify an issue, he was able to get an expert to the home very quickly to dive deeper into the assessment of the issue. In my opinion, he went above and beyond to provide answers and solutions.

It has been quite a while since I have worked with them but it was a good experience. I do not remember the cost of the service. The service worked very well. We got a lot of contacts out of it and we were able to sell the house with the benefit of that book that we had. Their price was also good enough.
