Bryan conducted our inspection and did an amazing job. This was my first time working with a home inspector and I learned a ton throughout the process. Bryan was honest about issues he would address and carefully explained issues that were against code. I was blown away by his attention to detail and his ability to explain some complex concepts in an understandable way to a first time home buyer. I would recommend Ernst Home Inspections to anyone.

The report issued for my home was "less than" to say the least. Over the last 10 months since moving in, the lack of thoroughness and completeness of my home inspection from Ernst Home Inspections, LLC has cost my family more than $45,000. The roof needed to be replaced immediately and was actively leaking. My report said the roof 'should be good' for another 5 to 8 years. The basement leaks from simple ground water, and has foundation cracks throughout. Additionally, there are so many building and safety code violations we've needed to correct simply for the health and safety of our family. Some of these code violations include: plumbing from the basement is incorrect, there is no egress/escape system at all in the "finished basement", entire house electric is basically just wrong and there are at least 20 power outlets on a single circuit. The breaker trips after plugging almost anything into more than 4 outlets at a time; not to mention a refrigerator is meant to have its own circuit but instead is looped in with at least 6 power outlets. Furthermore, the inspection report itself is vague and has caused more headache, such as the fact that there is are two exhaust fans into the attic, but only one was fixed because the report does not specify which exhaust fan needed to be corrected. These issues do not cover all the issues my family has encountered and had to deal with over the last 10 months. Lastly, when I attempted to contact this company about what we've been through, little to no response was received and we were then stuck fighting for all this on our own. Be cautious when considering using Ernst Home Inspections, LLC for your requirements.
