It was an excellent experience. I learned a lot about out condo and what needs to be done.
Description of Work: Keith Rauch performed the inspection on Feb. 11, 2013 on a condo that we are in the process of buying. Keith was very conscientious and detailed on all aspects of the inspection, which took about 4.5 hours. Keith made sure that I understood any issues that he found and also things that he thought were done well and why. We also had Seagate do an insect and pest inspection and also radon testing. All of their staff were extremely polite, conscientious and thorough. The report was excellent and I would highly recommend their services.

Jim, my inspector, was there before I was. He seemed very focused and thorough and I feel that he spent a good deal of time, even though it is a small house. I had never gone through a home inspection before and didn't understand why they cost so much (although Seagate is lower than most) but I feel like it was worth my money. Luckily there were not many major problems, but he did make suggestions of small things that he would have fixed if it was his home. He went from when thing to the next, but was always willing to stop and answer questions or explain what he was doing. I never got the feeling that he was just going through the motions. At the end, he laid it all out in a thorough report with pictures and arrows to explain each issue. He gave me an overall assessment first and then went into very detailed descriptions of each problem and made recommendations on how to resolve them. He was very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that I, a single woman, could understand, but without diluting the information. If the other inspectors at Seagate are half as thorough, professional and knowledgeable as Jim, I would use them again and again.
Description of Work: I had a basic home inspection done before I purchased my house.

It was terrific. The inspector was prompt, and courteous. The inspector took over 4 hours to inspect the house. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He let us follow him the entire inspection and we asked several question during the inspection. He was able to answer all our questions. He found major problems with the property. He gave us a DVD with the inspection and with over 120 pictures included. He also gave us his phone number if we had any other questions or concerns.
Description of Work: I had a 3500 square foot home inspected.

Easy to schedule. Arrived promptly as expected. Good communication with inspector (accompanied him during inspection). Thorough, professional job. Report generated at end of inspection listing findings (provided on a CD), including photographs. Found significant items requiring attention or repair. Gave a better perspective on strengths and faults of property. A helpful process. Would recommend them for inspection of prospective residence.
Description of Work: Inspector reviewed exterior and interior condition of older residence under consideration for purchase, including detached garage.

Seagate Inspections invited the buyer to attend the house inspection unbeknownst to me, so I was very shocked when the buyer showed up at my house. The inspector removed the digital thermostat from the wall for some reason and disconnected a wire, intentional or otherwise. The thermostat malfunctioned and caused my air conditioning to malfunction. I called a HVAC repairman the next morning to fix the air conditioning and he informed me of the cause of all this malfunctioning. In the meantime, the inspector misdiagnosed a drafting/ venting problem in the water heater. A plumber was called in to fix the drafting/ venting problem and informed me that, in his professional opinion, the water heater was drafting perfectly. Therefore, I am out a $65.00 service call charge, and without air conditioning for 26 hours during the hottest days, so far, of this summer. Needless to say, I wouldn't be inclined to trust what this company has to say about the condition of any house.
Description of Work: Whole house inspection ordered by buyers of my house.

Response from Seagate Inspections Inc
It is unfortunate that your real estate agent did not convey to you that the buyer of your home would be attending the inspection. It is some surprise to our office that we have no record of ever hearing from you directly regarding any of the issues you addressed in your report. We feel obligated to offer our sincere apology for any inconvenience you may have went through whether at the fault of our inspector or not. For your information: It is standard practice for a buyer to accompany the inspector for the inspection they have hired us for. It is actually an industry wide accepted practice. Real estate agents in this region of the country always have a responsibility to advise their clients of the arrangements for a home inspection. Rational people actually are found to appreciate the fact that the buyer of their property was concerned enough to have the inspection process take place and are typically more than willing to accommodate a buyer who is "on the hook" so as to help guide the process along in a positive direction. Regarding the venting issue with the water heater: This is a safety concern that unfortunately many technicians in the HVAC industry are under educated about. Poor venting can and does lead to many accidental deaths each and every year due to carbon Monoxide poisoning. The responsibility to report such a concern lies solely on the educated and highly trained home inspector. Training in this area is something we take very seriously and do not appreciate a less than professional and less safety minded approach when it comes to people's lives. Regarding your thermostat: It is extremely unlikely that any home inspector would ever remove a thermostat. We in the industry are not in the business of repair. If under normal operator controls, the HVAC does not operate, it is simply reported as such. The possibility that the initial installation of the thermostat was less than adequate is more likely the reason the unit had an issue in the first place as would have been reported by our inspector. With that said, we are human and yes we do on occasion slip up. In that case we are known to face our accusers and try with every effort to resolve any conflict or concern in the utmost professional manner. If you indeed do have a legitimate gripe with our company (or did ever have), you should face the problem head on and not hide behind Angie's List reporting. All we ask is the chance to make things right, even if we did not play a part in the issue being created. We never run from an issue or accusation. Now that you apparently live in Houston, TX., I'm certain we'll not see the day where we can prove our high worth to you as a service company in the Northwest Ohio area. If indeed you have a chance to relocate back to the area, please feel free to contact our office for a price quote and service offering. Sincerely, Bill Barnes Seagate Inspections, Inc. Holland, OH
