Exceedingly thorough. Scheduling was easy and he was able to complete the inspection quickly and the provided us with the report in a very timely manner. He also took the time to discuss any issues we had and answer all our questions.

Mr. King is a true professional who performed to the highest standards. We have since referred him to other homeowners who have had previously had substandard inspections. His comprehensive reports are a valuable asset that clearly identify a home deficiencies.

Excellent. We hired Paul and are much more comfortable with the house we are purchasing. Prior to that inspection, Paul identified major issues that saved us from purchasing a home with many costly repairs that were not easily apparent. Extremely thorough. It is rare to find someone with the level of dedication and professionalism as Paul King.

Paul inspected a house I had a contract on and because of his meticulous inspection, I ended up backing out of the deal and saving myself a great deal of aggravation. He then inspected a second house which he found to be in much better shape. And because Paul's inspection was so detailed, I ended up with a guide for keeping up with maintenance and a way to prioritize the issues any older home is going to have.
Description of Work: Paul inspected two houses for me.

Called him twice, sent him emails with my details as requested, but never heard back from him. Same thing happened when I tried to hire him for inspection before closing. I guess he's just not interested but at least he should be upfront about it and not leave customers waiting in the dark.

This is not true. On multiple occasions he scheduled and later cancelled inspections, I still have his cancellation emails.

We are very happy with Paul's inspection! We are contemplating selling our home and wanted an idea of what might need to be improved before listing. He responded quickly and arrived on time. He was very nice and polite. Paul did a very thorough job and provided a well organized, detailed report. We highly recommend him and would absolutely use him again, should the need arise.

Paul was on time. He did a very thorough inspection. We also had radon and termite testing. After the inspection he was very personable and friendly. He took time to talk to us and answer our questions. His report was very detailed and informative. It contained photos and in depth explanations of issues revealed in inspection. I would absolutely use him again.

My next door neighbor had a Radon removal system installed a year or so ago. Made me think! If he's got Radon, then maybe I do too. A very smart real estate client of mine knew of Inspector Paul ad hired him for the home inspection on a 600k home (in which I represented him in the transaction). After speaking with Paul at that inspection, I decided to hire him to do Radon testing at my home. Efficient, professional, and a joy to have in my home. Pleased to say our Radon level was quite low, but the money was well spent. As a RealtorĀ®, part of my job is to make clients aware of the potential harm that Radon gas can cause and give them the information and the option to have an inspection done.

Inspector Paul is a real pro. He has done three home inspections for me and my family members. In each case, he found many things that a less-knowledgeable inspector would likely have missed. Paul has saved me many headaches and thousands of dollars on each purchase. His reports are very detailed and thorough and the video's and photo's he provides makes it easy to see that what he is saying is true. This makes negotiating with sellers for repairs very straightforward. He has always been prompt for his inspections and timely with his reports. I highly recommend Inspector Paul and would not consider buying a home without his input.

I cannot say enough about Paul. My wife and I are very thankful for his work on our new house. We had a nightmare of a time with the builder - lots of delays, lots of damage and replacements - a nightmare. We needed an inspector who was on our side and who would hold the builder to account. At the same time, we needed someone who could 'handle' us. Someone who could point out what was acceptable (e.g. may not be ideal, but likely won't be a problem) so we could focus on the things that would be problems. Paul takes his time and goes thorough everything. The full house inspection probably took 4 hours. He inspected the trusses to the basement. His reports were very detailed with pictures, descriptions and links to the relevant building or trade codes. I know he was probably frustrating for the builder and their subs to deal with, but that actually speaks very highly for him. In fact, after we had moved in, the head sales person for the development was apparently buying a new house and reached out to me for Paul's information to have him conduct her inspection. That speaks volumes for him. I would (and have) recommended him without reservation.
Description of Work: Provided both a pre-drywall and final inspection on a house we were building.

Inspector Paul is a real professional. He returned calls promptly and arrived at the appointed time for the inspection. His inspection was thorough and detailed, and he provided me with a summary at the end of his visit. Within 2 days, I had a written report which explained his observations and, where appropriate, cited building standards that had been violated. He was polite, answered all my questions, and wore shoe covers when inside the house. I would highly recommend his service.
Description of Work: Inspected my home after one year of occupancy (in preparation for warranty work to be done by the builder).

I was impressed that Paul took so much time talking with me about the property. Giving advice never pushing any type of service. It was a pleasure talking with him.
Description of Work: On January 29, 2014 I left a message for Paul King to give me a call that I wanted to talk to him about a home inspection for an investment property I had in contract. Paul returned my call and we talked for some time about the inspection process and what could be done. He gave me advice on other inspections that may not be required by the lender but I should think about during my dewdiligence period.

Inspector Paul is a very knowledgeable individual and is great to work with. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain his findings so that you understand the issues. He turned around the written report within 48 hours. He covers the typical items expected in an inspection, highlighting issues and code violations. When asked, he will give you his opinion of the overall build quality of the home. I had also used Inspector Paul a few weeks earlier and terminated a purchase agreement based on his findings. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again.

When I first called Paul, he answered while he was under a house and it was very hard to understand him. That's about the only negative thing I can think to say, and I had a good laugh with the mental picture of someone answering a phone in a crawlspace. He showed up before his promised time of 9:30AM and got to work immediately. The home is a fixer-upper and I asked a mountain of questions, each of which he answered in clear language and took the time to explain some of the backstory of which things are in need of repair and how they should look when fixed. He left no cranny unchecked, nor electricial wire untested, explaining details to me throughout. He ended up taking around 4.5 hours performing the inspection (mostly due to my excessive questions) and I anticipate great detail in the report. I ended up forgetting to invite my realtor (d'oh!), so I can't relate how he interacts with other non-customer professionals. Overall, a very positive experience and I would hire him again without thinking twice.
Description of Work: Paul inspected a home in South Charlotte that I am purchasing ($500). He also is performing a radon test for me ($150).

Both times, Paul was responsive. It was easy to make appointments with him. Paul was thorough. He went over my house with a fine toothed comb. Each time his first question was "what concerns do you have?". I was able to discuss with him any areas that I found especially troubling and he got to work. He was friendly yet professional, taking care to not track things into my new home. He spent hours both inside and outside checking things like the roof (via binoculars), going into the attic and opening and closing every window and door. His report was delivered promptly and again - was thorough. If the need arises again, I will definitely use him again!

We were referred to Inspector Paul by our real estate agent, and after viewing his website and some of his competitors, we decided to go with Paul King as our inspector for a potential home purchase in Charlotte. Paul was punctual, friendly, and more than happy to explain anything at whatever level of detail we desired. He was incredibly thorough and has an expert eye for all things related to home construction and value. The bottom line is this - Paul King saved us tens of thousands of dollars worth of home repair and remediation that was not divulged during the offer to purchase process. His professional ethic, amiable personality, reasonable price, and attention to detail are beyond comparison, and we intend to use him in the future not only for our inspection needs but also for any general contracting work we need at our house. We can't thank Inspector Paul enough for his excellent work!
