Excellent. I will use Inspector Paul again before we close on the house.
Description of Work: Inspector Paul performed a very detailed inspection of our new house that is being built. Paul delivered a very quality report of items that needed improvement that I easily sent to my building for attention. The Pre-Drywall inspection took roughly 3 hours and it was very thorough and complete.

Went as planned. Appreciated the easy of communication and speedy report.
Description of Work: Paul King performed an inspection on a new construction house that I have under contract. He was able to complete inspection and give me feedback on the report very quickly as I only had a matter of days to complete my due diligence. He is very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection. I would have never found him if it weren't for Angie's List and all the great reviews he received.

Paul was very quick to respond and worked around my schedule. I am most pleased that Paul just didn't set up the test and leave - he took the time to answer my questions and "what if" scenarios. The output of Paul's test is excellent - I have all of the supporting data I need (hour by hour levels for nearly 96 hours.)

Paul responded to our first call immediately and was able to work us into his schedule the very same week. He was prompt, courteous and professional throughout the process.Upon arrival he explained his process, asked and answered our questions and concerns, and then went right to work. Our appointment was scheduled for late Friday afternoon and by Monday morning we had a very detailed, thorough and professional report prepared for us. Although we knew the home had some problems, Inspector Paul was able to find and point out many more serious problems that we could not find on our own. He saved us from purchasing a "money pit." When we do find the right house to buy, we will definitely call Inspector Paul again. We whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspector. *It is worth noting that not only does Inspector Paul have an impressive list of credentials, but he is Licensed, Insured AND Bonded. Until I remembered we were members of Angie's list, I had a hard time finding an inspector that was both bonded and insured. It is always in both parties best interest to hire a well-credentialed, licensed inspector (or professional in any trade) that is both bonded and insured.
Description of Work: The above price included a very thorough home inspection, a very detailed written inspection report, and a radon test with report.

Just the inspection alone took about 3 and a half hours to complete. It was obvious to me that he took great care in his work and he did an outstanding job.That job extended to an incredibly detailed report including color photos pinpointing problem areas that needed follow-up by me.There was also a report on the radon test. To say it was worth having him perform the inspection would be a very great understatement.Paul did a fantastic job that relieved me of any worries about the condition of the home I was about to buy.That alone should convince you to have him do your home inspection. But where Paul really shines is his dedication to his work and his high degree of honesty and integrity. It has been my pleasure to have had Inspector Paul on the job in the home I'm about to buy.
Description of Work: First let me say that the total cost included a radon test of $150.The actual inspection was $375. Paul is not only a great inspector but a very nice, easy to talk to guy. He literally checked the house completely from top to bottom. The crawl space, the attic and everything in between was inspected 100%. He was very open to questions during the process and he explained very thoroughly and in a clear and straightforward manner your concerns or questions.

Overall I was greatly satisfied. Paul was professional and very knowledgable without having a big ego to go along with it. He answered any of my technical questions as it pertained to the way my builder did the things the way they did. He found a handful of items that he wrote into his report and I was able to go to my builder on them to get them fixed. Some people may have thought it would be a waste of money to hire an inspector for a new home construction but it put me at ease to know that my builder was constructing the home the way it should have been.
Description of Work: I had Paul do my new home constructions pre-drywall inspection to ensure there were not going to be any issues with my builder.

Needed a waranty inspection done and contacted Paul after reading the reviews. Spoke with him 8/2 and he asked that I send him an email and he could do the inspection on the following Monday or Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday passed and never heard from Paul. Called him on Wed 8/8 and he said he had had a crazy weekend and now a busy week and couldn't do it until Sunday but would have to miss church. I felt this was very unprofessional and now had me scrambling to find another inspector last minute.
Description of Work: 1 year warranty inspection.

Response from INSPECTOR PAUL INC
I’m terribly sorry if I let you down in any way. We did speak on 8/2 and he was going to email me his address and details that day so I could send him the state required inspection authorization form. I never received an email and do not know if he ever sent one. I call him back on Friday 8/3 and spoke to a woman whom answered the phone, she said I needed to talk to him and he was not available. I left my name and number and did not get a return call until Wednesday afternoon (after the days he was hoping to get his inspection completed). Rather than defer blame for not getting a return call and not getting an email from him I apologized and offered to give up my weekend which would still get his inspection and report done in his time frame, which was not acceptable to him. I then began contacting other booked appointments and was able to get a Thursday inspection to move; I called him back to inform him I freed up half a day Thursday for him, this was unacceptable as well. I was not going to rush inspections to squeeze a third one in on the day he called me; that is not fair to all of my clients and would sacrifice my dedication and determination to do my best for every client. I do not know a more professional way that I could have handled this difficult situation. I suggest you read the numerous reports from the people who actually hired me.

A final inspectiion on the completion of our new house was requested for a specific afternoon. This request was met without any problem and fulfilled. A report was needed in a timely fashion and it was requested to send a copy directly to the contractor on the job. The contractor was someone who had worked with Paul on past occassions. The contractor needed the report to follow up with any problems found before my final inspection 2 days later. The report did not arrive until late the night before I needed it and a copy was never sent to the contractor as requested. The report was very thorough, but it was not indicated that it would take so long to send to me.

Honest, professional and very easy to work with.
Description of Work: I've used him twice -- once when we lived in The Farms in Mooresville and had ongoing warping issues with our dining room floor that nobody could find the cause of. He came in and used an infrared sensor to measure moisture content in floors. Eventually discoverd cause was due to a trim carpenter putting a hole through a pipe and causing a slow leak over time (that couldn't be seen). Hired him again when we bought a short-sale home in Northstone with lots of problems. I trusted he would provide us with an honest and thorough report of what needed to be fixed!

He took more than an hour to do the inspection. (Can't remember exactly how long) His report was very thorough and pointed out items that we did not have the expertise to recognize as issues. His explanations of the problems were helpful. His pricing was right in the general ballpark.
Description of Work: Paul did a pre-drywall inspection for us. He seemed to do a very thorough inspection of the house and provided us with verbal summary at the time, then a detailed written report a day or so later.

He was wonderful and we found him on Angie's List. He was on time and helped us out a lot with home inspection when we were buying our house. I believe his prices were reasonable; he may have been a little more expensive but he was worth the money. I will use him again in the future.

Inspector Paul came today based on the issues we had on the review and resolve all the matters. He verified that A/C is working fine.He also made sure that the fireplace is working and the wire outside not being fixed was also discovered in the inspection.He was through and the fact that he came few months after the initial home inspection and purchase to fix some of the problems we had shows he is professional and cares about the issues customers have with their homes.He also has a very good knowledge and understanding of everything.I would definitely recommend Paul for any future home inspections

Paul was excellent. He is friendly and punctual and chatty and extremely qualified. I felt he did an excellent job identifying issues with the house we wanted to buy and he recommended an excellent PE for us when a second opinion was required for some foundation issues. The reports he produces are very detailed with lots of photos of each issue so that there is no confusion when you present issues to the owner/seller. I would definitely recommend Paul's services and I would use him again myself.

Overall it was a smooth process as Paul explained how the process worked and then took the time to explain his findings. Paul also followed up a few days later to see if there were any additional questions.
Description of Work: This is my fifth house purchased and by far Paul King did an outstanding job. Paul spent nearly 4 hours inspecting the home (3,500 sq. ft.) and even though this was new construction there were some issues. Received the inspection on-line and was able to print a copy. Also made it easy for me to email the report to the builder of our new home. Paul is very professional and is well trained. Thanks to Paul's inspection the builder was able to remedy the situation, but more importantly the inspection saved me time and money in getting these repairs fixed before I moved in. Highly recommend Paul King for a property inspection.
