They did exactly what they said they would. He gave a thorough inspection with a detailed report at what I assume to be a reasonable price. He was prompt and did a good job.

I am purchasing a home in Clover and currently live out of state and therefore could not attend the inspection. My son-in-law lives in the area and was able to attend. I made arrangements over the phone with Inspector Paul and he clearly explained his scope of work, and costs and options. He then followed up with an email quote along with options and confirmed our agreed upon date. He clearly explain everything that he found to both my realtor and my son-in-law while performing his inspection. He provided me,via email, a final report, the next day complete with pictures. I had some follow-up questions and called him and he very succinctly provided me with answers. My realtor and I then determined which items we considered worth bringing back to the seller for resolution or dollar consideration. Being some what of a handy man, I didn't consider anything on the list beyond my abilities. The seller reviewed the list and offered us money toward closing cost in leu of fixing the items on the list. The money offered was more than I had paid for the inspection, which I consider a "win".

Inspection went great. Paul arrived early and was very thorough in his work. The resulting inspection report was exactly what we needed to move forward with our purchase.
Description of Work: Paul came out to inspect a home we are buying. He was very detailed in his work. He spent more than 3 hours inspecting the irrigation well, irrigation system, interior/exterior/crawl space of the home. His report was very thorough and detailed with specific pictures and explanations of issues. Paul was very easy to work with and very friendly.

It took about 4 hours. He is very thorough. Bring a book!
Description of Work: I was reluctant to use the inspector recommended by my realtor (been burned before), so I joined Angieslist and found a highly recommended inspector (Inspector Paul). It was really last minute. He shuffled things around to fit me in. For $975 he did a home inspection, radon, thermal imaging, and sprinkler system inspection. The thermal imaging wasn't too useful, but everything else was great. His inspection was so much more detailed and professional than any I had received before. He is professional and courteous. I called him on Thursday, he showed up on Friday, and I had the report by Sunday. He found moisture in the crawl space, plumbing issues, etc. and gave me a great report to use to justify repair requests. Cannot tell you how highly I recommend this gentleman.

The experience with Inspector Paul was great. I've never met a more thorough individual and it was immediately clear that he had our best interests in mind. Paul is very clear as to what he can and cannot do during an inspection. Paul can't see through walls. I can't either so I can't hold it against him. What he can do, and what he did, is explore every nook of the house. From the depths of the crawl space to the dark attic, Paul let no area of the house go unchecked. He is very knowledgeable and it is obvious that he knows what he is doing. He moves at a thoughtful pace and never once seemed as if he was rushing. In fact, he didn't complete his inspection until almost 7:00pm on a Friday night but he stayed to answer all of my questions. After the inspection, I had no doubt that I had made the right choice by working with Paul. No inspector can ever find every possible issue, but I can't imagine finding anyone to do a better job than Paul. And he's a really nice guy too.
Description of Work: Inspector Paul provided inspection services related to the purchase of home that we are considering (not new construction). In addition to the inspection of the home, we also requested inspection of the irrigation system and a Radon test.

Paul saved my family from buying a house with a lot of problems. He found numerous issues that were just not visible without experience. His work was fantastic. We have actually used him again since to review other houses we have considered buying,.

He was beyond amazing. Suffice it to say that I have bought and sold many homes but I have never had an inspection report that was this thorough. It was just amazing. He helped find an engineer to look at some specific items. Because of his report and his work he basically saved me something in excess of $420,000 because I wound up not buying this home, which was based on what I learned from him. This home needed much structural work. He was incredibly thorough and incredibly detailed. He was a lovely guy to work with and really, really knows his stuff. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with him. I would recommend him to anyone because he was very responsive and came when he said he was going to come. He was so thorough and I cannot recommend him high enough. He was wonderful. He was a little on the high side but you really get what you pay for.

He was punctual (early even). He was extremely professional. He was thourough and knowledgeable. He would stop the inspection to come and get us and show us visually what concerns were present. Instead of the usual 3 days, he had our inspection report the next day! It's been a pleasure to have him in our corner! If we decide to purchase this home, we will have him come out and reinspect prior to closing.

We hired Inspector Paul to do an inspection of the home we were planning on purchasing. He responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, and was extremely thorough. We were pleased with the quality and "understandability" of his report. Because we didn't actually own the property, only non-destructive tests could be performed (in other words, he could use his imaging technology to "look" behind the walls for moisture, but could not actually physically inspect behind the walls for moisture.) We now own the house, and our builder has been able to dig a little deeper into the walls and under the roofing, etc. The builder was impressed with the inspection report, and has affirmed that Inspector Paul's findings were accurate. We believe that Inspector Paul's pricing is higher than the average home inspection. But we also believe it was worth the cost, and would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to friends.
Description of Work: Home inspection, radon test, thermal imaging (I can't remember the exact cost, but believe it was in the $700 - $800 range)

Paul performed all services requested professionally and timely. I believe the cost that he charged was in line with what other inspectors charge. Radon testing and thermal image scanning are extra services that we requested. I am very comfortable that we got what we paid for. We have been in our home for over a year and feel that Paul performed a thorough review of our home and provided us with a very detailed report that helped us to negotiate with the sellers of the house to get a new roof installed (at their expense). We have not had any unexpected problems with the house. I have already recommended Inspector Paul to another individual that I know who bought a home.

I called Paul and scheduled a home inspection a couple days later. I then had to re-schedule. Paul even adjusted his schedule, voluntarily asking one of his other clients if they could have their inspection done in the morning to free up the afternoon for my inspection b/c I didn't have morning availability. Thanks Paul! Paul was on site and unpacking his tools as my wife arrived to attend the inspection. 2 days after the inspection, Paul e-mailed the username and password to my inspection report, viewable from any computer - very convenient. Lots of photos, the arrows makeing it easy for a novice to see the issues.We had a couple questions, and he was available via phone or e-mail to answer and clarify items. Paul follows the rules to the letter of the law. He is very thorough, and will note EVERYTHING that is not to current code - and I mean everything. It is a level of detail that is amazing (or infuriating, if the home isn't up to code or was previously inspected by someone less thorough). He did exactly what I hired him to do, inspect the home and note everything potentially not up to code or standard practices. Thanks to Paul, I felt 100% confident I knew exactly what I was purchasing. This peace of mind is invaluable when spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. I would hire him again. He gets a B for price only b/c he does charge more than average. Do you want an 'average' inspection? You get what you pay for with Paul.
Description of Work: A full inspection, a thermal imaging scan (we paid extra for this), personally advised my wife about the issues he found, going into as much detail as my wife asked. Spent over 4 hours on site, took about 100 photos. Provided detailed report with lots of photos with arrows to indicate problems 2 days later.

Paul stepped into a very contentious situation in which the buyer (me) and the seller of a home under contract disagreed about the validity of the results of an initial radon test (performed by another inspector). His patience and professionalism were irreproachable. He went well beyond the level of service that a merely competent inspector would provide. I am a real estate broker and have recommended Paul with confidence to buyer clients in the past; I look forward to continuing to do so in the future, wholeheartedly and with a greater appreciation for his attention to his craft. Paul is an expert in his many fields and he knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: Paul performed multiple follow-up radon tests after an intial test performed by a different inspector came back high. Paul did two continuous-read monitor (CRM) tests and a liquid-scintillation charcoal test. These tests were performed in conjunction with other tests by other providers.

Overall it went very well and we are satisfied.
Description of Work: We asked him to inspect our property after we had a major renovation and our contractor did not finish the job or finalize the permits. He thoroughly inspected our home and gave us a detailed report via email, which we took to our lawyer and contractor. We are still working through the list with our contractor, and it's because of Paul King that we are achieving satisfaction. He was even able to detect a dangerous gas leak, which we have since had repaired. We are very satisfied with his service and highly recommend him.
