Home Inspection/Radon Test
Description of Work: BK did a fantastic job, he was very thorough. I saw this house twice and thought it was perfect but boy was I wrong. BK found many problems that the owners had created when they remodeled a bathroom and deck. There was also mold, structural, and many other things that we failed to see when we first looked at the house. BK went through this house from top to bottom and pointed everything that could be a concern for me as a home purchaser. We also had a radon test done on the house. This was a big house to go through and am I glad I went with King Home Inspections. We ultimately decided not to go thru with this purchase because of all the problems and work we would have had to put into it. My realtor had recommended 2 other inspectors that I researched and found that their reviews were not very good. I had went with a realtor recommended inspector before and learned my lesson with all the problems I had with it. I did my research this time. I am so glad I picked King Home Inspections!! This was the best money I could have ever spent and Thank you BK!!! We will definitely hire them again when we find another house.

Description of Work: The inspection was fabulous. We talked before the inspection and given things to read to prepare for the inspection. The inspector arrived an hour before us to do his pre-visit work. When we arrived he gave us a binder and walked us through "inch by inch" and pointed out everything. He encouraged us to take our own notes and gave suggestions to who could help with repairs, upadates, etc. Whe we received the report is was very detailed and informative. They say the average person sells their home every 6 years, it had been 17 since last inspection we went through and when I compared the two (I still had the one from 17 years ago) BK was light years beyond the depth of the previous one. |No house is without "flaws" BK help me understand what I was getting and what I would need to do now and in the future.

BK was amazing. I really felt like he took the time to go through everything with us. He was really thorough and we appreciated his time. He gave us suggestions of things that we could do ourselves as well as other minor home improvements.

After doing research on all the home inspections in the area I choose to go with King Home Inspection because all the great reviews and someone I know liked him very well!Expect to spend 4+ hours going over the entire house (which is a good thing) Brian got there an hour or so before I did to start the inspection; which includes taking pictures and notes along the way. When you arrive, he talks to you about some things and gives you a bottle of water and a flashlight. From there you start walking around looking at EVERYTHING. At the end he gives comments on what he saw and condition of the areas that need fixed. At the inspection he gives you a 3 ring binder with information along with 50 or so blank pages for you to print off the report at home. I called him on a Monday and he was able to squeeze me in on that Saturday in the morning. That Thursday he went out to the house at 8pm to setup the radon test. Brian had the report to me, via e-mail, by Sunday at 5pm. . I can't remember the exact price (what I listed was approximate but close to the correct price) but for the great service he provides it is well worth it! I even had a few questions weeks later and he remember the house and was able to address my question promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or refer him to someone else (which I've done already) We haven't gotten the keys yet but if I find something that should have been caught I will update. Great work!!!

BK explained that he would show up around 8:30 am and asked us to stop by around 9:30 - the hour prior he wanted to check the roof and other exterior areas, and perform the wood destroying insect inspection (which we were not present for). When we arrived, he had told us he actually arrived around 8 am, and we saw the ladder to the roof and other equipment around the property. We went inside and he greeted us, and had bottled water and some pop available - which was a nice touch. He asked us if we had any specific concerns and then let us know about some things that were to be expected with homes built in the 60s. He provided us with some flashlights as well so we could highlight and see everything he was pointing out to us. He was VERY thorough and found a lot of small things along with a couple issues to be addressed immediately, and gave us some tips, recommended some resources of us to use for home repairs, improvement etc. While he did find a lot of things we didn't expect, due to discussions with him and reading info on his website, we were not overwhelmed and were appreciative to have the report and notes to fall back on. He also gave us tips on regular maintenance and things to budget for that might need replacing soon. When we wrapped up, he mentioned the report would be available in 24-36 hours - in fact it was in our inboxes about 12 hours later, filled with pictures and recommendations. As we were impressed by his attention to details in person, his report reflected the same. In total he spent over 4 hours in the home...I really feel like we got our money's worth. And he's a pretty nice and down to earth guy too. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a good home inspection.
Description of Work: I gave King Home Inspection a call on a Thursday, hoping for a weekend appointment. We had promised to get the inspection done within 7 days, and had signed our purchase agreement the day before. The weekend was booked but he had an appointment for Monday morning available, so we took it. He mentioned what he looks for and what he doesn't - and asked us to look at the information on his website before we showed up Monday morning. Brian aka "BK" did a thorough home inspection including electrical, structural, the roof, garage, grading, as well as through reports on each room in the home we are looking to purchase. He checked for leaks, repairs to the walls, evidence of leaks, water damage, etc. He pointed out some in his words "less than professional" DIY work , explained things about the windows, recommended upgrades to things like the smoke detector and climate control unit. He also peformed a wood destroying insect inspection for us, we weren't there, but he provided a report and explained that even though he didn't find any evidence, there were things around the home that would be inviting and gave us a recommendation to remove / replace them.

B.K. was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive and thorough. He spent an hour in the home before we arrived checking the roof (he climbed right up to the roof on a ladder and visually and manually inspected it in addition to taking photographs), immediate perimeter, and gutters. After we arrived he spend an additional 5 hours going through the house, inch by inch, letting nothing get by. He was extremely knowledgeable and in addition to providing us with a great deal of confidence in our new purchase, he taught us a lot! We'll be better homeowners as a result of B.K.'s suggestions! His report was extremely detailed and thorough, and he provided additional manuals for maintaing a home and a moving guide. He was really a professional and we would highly recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: We hired B.K. from King Home Inspection to perform a complete home inspection on a new home which we were in contract to purchase. We asked for a complete home inspection in addition to a wood-destroying insect and radon inspection.

BK was so great the first time around, we decided to use him again when the first house offer fell through. BK is awesome! He is so thorough! While he found items, he made sure to point out the ones that should be taken care of before moving in vs. those that are standard routine maintenance. There was no doubt in our minds that he didn't know what he was talking about. He even gave us additional information to read through when we asked questions. I feel comfortable moving into the home that we chose after talking with BK. Thanks for everything!

The Inspector showed up right on time and got started immediately as he saw it was going to rain soon and wanted to be able to safely inspect the roof before it began. Once we arrived he took his time and explained all his findings as we walked through each room of the home. Any questions we had about issus he answered on the spot or addressed in the actual report. The report itself was very through and had visual documentation of all problematic and maintenance issues. Would highly recommend.
Description of Work: Inspector arrived at home an a few hours before we did to make his initial round through the house and once we arrived he walked us and our realtor though the house as well. The next day he had his report sent to our realtor.

B.K was extremely knowledgable, helpful and respectful in completing our home inspection. He gave us helpful tips on how to maintain our home and upon completion of the inspection, he provided us with a full detailed report. He treated the inspection as if it were his own home. I would highly recommend him for a home inspection and radon testing. He even provided us with pop and water and a helpful book with tips on maintaining our home!

Brian "B.K." Thompson from King Home Inspection, LLC. was awesome. BK is a highly educated, ASHI certified professional. He arrived earlier as the house was vacant and worked diligently before and even after we left for a total of 5 and a half hours! There was about 4" of fresh snow and he was outside, going all over the house and even on the ladder to look over the 2 story roof. Not only was he ready with multiple flashlights for us, but he even had a cooler filled with drinks when we arrived. He asked if there were any areas that we wanted him to focus on and did his best to make us feel as comfortable as possible. While inspecting, he made sure we knew and understood everything that was wrong or could potentially go wrong in the house. If we didn’t understand, he would go in depth even further which was great. On top of that, he went above and beyond by giving us advice, books to read so we could save some money, and suggestions on who we could contact to fix the items he was pointing out. At one point, we mentioned that we were planning on having the carpets cleaned and he was ready to provide references. While giving the reference, he strongly stated that we should go with who we want but if he had to pick someone, he would go with “x” or “y”. He was not afraid to go anywhere and made sure everything was highly documented on paper and pictures from his camera. Not only was he professional, he helped keep us at ease while pointing out different items. We highly recommend BK to any and every one looking for a thorough inspection.
Description of Work: Complete home inspection by a certified ansi inspector covering the outside of the house and from the basement to the top of the attic. A very thorough look at everything available. Radon testing was done over 2 days with advanced gear that even noted if the device was moved by the home owner.
