Description of Work: I was very happy with Mr. Genser's work; he was professional, experienced, courteous and punctual. Mr. Genser gave me a full verbal report while he was at the home, and patiently explained everything in clear and unambiguous terms. He was also extremely thorough - which is exactly want you want when you are considering purchasing a home. For example, inside the dishwasher, there was a little spring-loaded door that pops open to release the soap mid-cycle; he noted that the spring was broken and the little door wasn't popping open correctly! He also noted that the electrical outlets in the tiled kitchen-backsplash were mounted a little too deeply into the wall. He explained that the wall-boxes for the outlets had probably been installed correctly for the faceplates to fit onto the surface of the dry-wall, but the tiles had then been installed and this had effectively raised the surface by the thickness of the tile and grout. This work was probably all done by the original builder. But, they should have then inserted little plastic sleeves, behind the faceplates, to ensure that the wall-boxes were essentially extended forwards by about ½ inch. Sorry, I'm not explaining that anywhere near as well as he did! But yes, he's very thorough! Highly recommended!

I do not know this individual and to best of my recollection never heard from this individual. I have never performed a service for this individual. You may have had an incorrect email address, which is why I could not respond. I always respond to messages in a timely manner. A customer is the lifeblood of my business and reputation.

My step-dad referred an inspector he had used in the past. I called the inspector and he was fully booked so he referred me to Greg. I called Greg a few days prior to the inspection and he was able to accomodate my schedule. He showed up the day of the inspection 15 minutes early and was very professional. He did a thorough job explaining to me what he say while inspecting the house. I received the inspector report within 24 hours after the inspection was complete. The report was documented well and easy to understand. I would definately use Greg again in the future. Highly recommended!

Cypress Inspections inspected the house I ended up purchasing and I was satisfied with their performance. It is a one man show, and Greg was very knowledgeable and very through in his inspection. No major issues have been identified that we weren't aware of before.There were a couple items that were not accessible during the inspection, and Greg was very straight forward about what he could or could not do. The only complaint was that Greg reported that the A/C unit was not performing properly and recommend additional inspection of the Cooling system. The A/C guy I had out said that there was no problem, but that this issue is often reported when the inspector uses a laser thermometer, as it measures the surface temperature of the vent, instead of the air temperature. Other than that, I have no complaint with Cypress Inspections. After the inspection, Greg prepared a very easy to read report which helped to get estimates on the items that needed repair. He also offered himself up for any follow up questions we may have had.

(Member name removed) When I discover that the cooling temperature is not within the proper range I use a second device to verify that the first device did not malfunction. Therefore I use both a probe in the ducts nearest to the evaporator coil and a laser thermometer to verify my findings. Did the HVAC techincian make repairs to other HVAC defects noted including air leakage with the duct system, primary condensate drainpipe incorrectly installed, electrical defects at both the heating and cooling equipment and an incorrect gas vent pipe installation with the heating system?

Greg provided an extremely thorough inspection and the report was timely and well detailed. We have the information we need to determine if we will pursue the purchase of this house and the documentation we need for negotiations with the seller.

We are extremely satisfied with Greg's work. He is punctual, very thorough, performed a 4 hour inspection, explained a lot of things on the site. Delivered a detailed professional report the same day. Because we are buying an older house, there are quite a few items in the report. Greg again helped us get an idea of how much the repairs would cost after delivering the report. On top of that, he helped us identify the main issues. Home inspection is a complicated process. We are so grateful that we hired Greg. His master electrician license would help you in that area. We would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and anyone seeking an inspector. Worth every penny. Thanks Greg!

Greg was very professional and exceptionally diligent. He noted the details that many others would have missed. (even our realtor, with decades of experience in the business, was impressed). The complete report was equally thorough incorporating numerous photos and explanations. The report was delivered within a day or two, and followed up by detailed response to our questions. I have recommended Greg to other friends, who have used his services and were equally impressed. It’s fair to note that Greg’s pricing is somewhat higher compared to other inspectors, but his knowledge, rigor and professionalism are well worth it.

Thank you for the referrals. Referrals are greatly appreciated. My goal is to be as detailed and thorough as possible and spend as much time as needed in performing the inspection and preparing the report. This is why I will not be the cheapest price for a home inspection. In our business, education and experience are priceless and you will get the type of inspection you pay for. The cheapest inspector will usually result in a fast, limited inspection and report.

Greg showed up actually a little earlier than we had planned, so he was able to start looking around the outside of the home before we got there. He quickly got my husband up to speed on what he had noticed, and they then walked through the house together. Greg pointed out everything he noticed to my husband, and they were able to discuss what he saw and what it meant. He finished in roughly the time he had led us to expect, and I had the report by the end of the day. His report was very detailed, with pictures when it made sense to do so, and gave us a thorough understanding of anything we would want to have fixed before buying the home. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Description of Work: Greg provided a home inspection when we made an offer on a home in the Kingwood area. He was extremely thorough, far more so than any other home inspector we've used before (this is the 5th home we've purchased). He pointed out things that we never would have noticed, and that other inspectors have not made note of in other homes we've bought. Our house actually had separation in the attic rafters from a previous renovation, so I was very pleased that was identified and dealt with before we agreed to buy the house. I felt very confident that he gave us an extremely high quality report. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home, or even wanting to identify possible issues in a home they've owned for a while.

Greg helped us avoid purchasing two 'problem' homes and his inspection results insured we were satisfied with the third and final home. Two particular areas that I felt set Greg above the 30+ inspectors I considered were the specific code references and graphics included in his reports (review the sample reports of inspectors you are considering) and his Texas Master Electrician License (I found very few inspectors with this additional qualfiication). First: 3500 sq ft new construction home with several serious and not easily resolved problems being revealed during the inspection - including missing and incorrect flashing and sealing (permitting water intrusion), attic HVAC units without proper access and equipment more than two years old in a supposedly new home. Second: 2100 sq ft 30 year old home which became a no-go less than an hour into the inspection - due to inadequate roof structure, worn-out roofing, significant and hazardous electrical problems and many substandard DIY modifications. Third: 2800 sq ft new construction, home with substantially better quality of workmanship - and very few and relatively minor inspection issues which the builder quickly remedied. I do not understand why anyone would consider investing in a home purchase without the qualified opinion of a home inspector that works for you, the Buyer, and not the Builder, Realtor or Seller) and can strongly recommend Greg at Cypress Inspections.
Description of Work: Greg actually performed three separate home inspections for us (Feb, Mar & Apr 2011) - so this should count as three separate reports and if we had not been satisfied with the first inspection we certainly would not returned twice!

Did not meet the inspector personally.
Description of Work: Greg Genser completed an inspection report on one of my co-workers homes. Since she always asks me to review home improvement issues, she asked me to review the report. It was the most detailed and easy to read inspection report that I have ever seen. I've bought and sold 12 homes over the years and have used inspectors from Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and the Northeast.
