Complete Home Inspection, Inc.

Jeffrey was amazingly thorough. He spent 5 hours in the house going thru areas I don't recall any previous inspector ever doing. When he was done, he went over each and every item on his report to make sure I understood everything. Stressing the items I should be concerned about and need to be addressed sooner rather than later. Days later when I had a question about an issue (due to a contractors response to a request to fix it), he responded quickly and with a detailed response. I will recommend Jeffrey to anyone who I know is purchasing a house. A great find!

He was OK but missed some small items and one big obvious one. The outer front door was badly damaged due to wind and the closure device was hanging by one screw and all the wood facing was cracked beyond repair. He dented my gutters due to his ladder having no mechanism to keep the pressure on the roof rather than the gutter. These are available and common. His standards of practice required this item be checked. I offered to allow him to correct this item before closing but he refused and in fact blamed me for distracting him. Most home inspectors and home inspection training programs emphasize "educating" the customer and allowing walk alongs...minus the roof. This reduces liability, increases understanding and establishs a team rapport. That was not his method. I would not use him again but gave him a fair overall. He did give a veteran discount.

Do not be put off by that NY accent, lol. This guy had been around this area for quite some time and knows his stuff. I was amazed at his eye for detail. He looked at our foundation and speculated as to what was going on based on the size and direction of the crack (and his 30 years experience in construction, I'm sure). Easily the best this area has to offer.
