Description of Work: Apartment complex inspection

Description of Work: TOM OBERLE, LAKE ERIE HOME INSPECTIONS, PERFORMED A HOME INSPECTION ON MY HOME IN THE FALL OF 2010. I WILL KEEP THIS BRIEF, BUT WHAT CONSUMERS IN NORTHERN OHIO NEED TO KNOW IS TO STAY AWAY FROM TOM OBERLE AT ALL COSTS. HE WAS HIRED TO PERFORM A THOROUGH HOME INSPECTION BUT FAILED TO SPOT WATER DAMAGE, FAILED TO SPOT A FAULTY WATER HEATER, AND FAILED TO SPOT OVER 5K IN ELECTRICAL DAMAGE TO ALL HOME I WANTED TO PURCHASE. ALL TOM OBERLE WILL DO IS "KICK THE TIRES" ON YOUR HOME, HE WILL NOT, I REPEAT NOT, DO THE JOB THAT OHIO CODE SAYS HE IS SUPPOSED TO DO. DO NOT HIRE TOM OBERLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO INSPECT PROPERTY. HE HAS REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY AFTER REPEATED COMPLAINTS. IT TOOK HIM 3 MONTHS TO CALL ME BACK AFTER A COMPLAINT ON MY WATER HEATER. 3 MONTHS! HE DID NOT CHECK ELECTRICAL BOX OR OUTLETS AT ALL. HIS COMPANY WILL INDEED RIP YOU OFF. *Update* FRAUD ALERT!!! LAKE ERIE HOME INSPECTIONS, OWNED BY TOM OBERLE, WILL NOT PERFORM WORK ACCORDING TO OHIO HOME INSPECTOR CODE. I HAVE SPENT WELL OVER 3K FIXING DAMAGE HE SHOULD HAVE SPOTTED RIGHT AWAY! NOW HE REFUSES TO REFUND MY MONEY. HE DOES NOT RETURN CALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND BLAMES DAMAGE ON "FAIR WEAR AND TEAR", EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN IN MY HOME LESS THAN 9 MONTHS! HE WILL NOT THOROUGHLY INSPECT YOUR HOME. TO OTTAWA, ERIE, SANDUSKY, AND HURON COUNTY RESIDENTS, STAY AWAY FROM LAKE ERIE HOME INSPECTIONS. TOM OBERLE IS SUBPAR.
