HOUSE EXAM INSPECTION & CONSULTING

The inspection appeared to go fairly well (and fast turn around). He only addressed the deteriorated fencing after we complained that he wasn't going to include it. The entire section of fencing (~100 ft) had to be replaced 6 months later. He failed to notice where surround sound wiring had been cut/removed. He failed to notice where the wall interiors were exposed near some DIY-gone-wrong remodeling. He failed to notice where the kitchen sink piping wasn't actually connected/sealed. He failed to notice where the laundry room sink aggressively leaked water into the cabinet below. He failed to notice the home automation system had its power source cut/removed. He also failed to notice defective portions of flooring/tile.

Adam saved the Day! Thank you Adam for giving me one heck of an EXAM. You gave me information that the normal eye would not have detected. Home sellers are very good at covering up flaws. I could go on and on. Again Thanks as we backed out of a MONEY PIT!

Adam was very thorough and identified several framing issues our builder needed to correct. There was one beam he wasn't sure was being used properly so he took the time to call the company and confirm before submitting his report.

To begin, I talked with Elizabeth in the office several times to schedule two separate inspections, and she was always extremely easy to work with and helpful, answering all my questions and then arranging and scheduling the inspections. I talked to Elizabeth and arranged an inspection for a condo, then cancelled because we discovered the condo was not eligible for a mortgage. Then I scheduled an inspection for a house, and Victor arrived promptly as scheduled and performed a thorough inspection (exception explained below), including the attic, the crawl space under the house, and a termite inspection. After his inspection, he summarized the inspection results with my wife, our real estate agent, and me, answered all our questions about the inspection, and then delivered a detailed and exhaustive inspection report to me by email later that same day. I could not have asked for better performance, or a better inspection. I highly recommend House Exam Inspection & Consulting, and will definitely call on them again if I need a house inspection in the future. Victor was unable to inspect the natural gas lines and related gas appliances because the people selling the house did not have the gas turned on, as required by the real estate option contract.

He missed some things in his inspection, nothing huge, but we were not super-thrilled with it. It was, like, average work; it was not super-impressive, but it wasn't, like, a huge disappointment. I think everyone costs about the same for home inspections here in Texas. To get a better grade from me they could have been more thorough. Like, he missed multiple things that were, like, high up or low down so it was, like, he kind of inspected everything that was easy to see and then he just missed, like, exposed pipes that were down way low on the exterior of the house. He missed some rotted boards up high and a rotted board down low. I mean, hopefully it is stuff that is not going to cost a lot to fix. It is, like, if it was above a certain height or below a certain height it did not give the impression that he tried real hard or look real thoroughly.

Paul was right on time. He was professional and explained in detail what all he saw was wrong. Paul was very knowledgeable and courteous. He took his time even though the inspection went through smoothly for the most part. Highly recommended.

This is my second home and the second time I've used House Exam. Adam is very knowledgeable and thorough?when conducting his inspection and preparing his report. ?He spends time after each inspection to explain all his findings and how to fix identified issues.?

Overall the experience went very smoothly. This is my first home purchase therefore my first experience with getting an inspection. It seemed very easy from booking the appt to getting the report. It was all done online (aside from the inspection, of course). After booking, I had a phone call from the ladies in the office to make sure the info was correct and to give me a quote. Originally it was approx $350 for the inspection and $97 for the termite. (I then got a discount when I mentioned Angie's List). The ladies were very nice, btw. My inspection was scheduled with the owner, Victor, and he was able to go out at the time I had requested. I didn't get to be there due to work but Victor called me when leaving the appt to go over some points with me that he felt were the highest concern. He was very nice and explained things very well. I received the report about an hour or so after that. Very quick turn around. Now this is basically my first experience in these reports, aside from when I sold my home a couple of months ago and saw the inspection report from my buyer. It seems that he went thru each system in the house and just reported exactly what he saw. I appreciate this cuz I want to know each thing that needs attention, no matter how minor. I appreciate that Victor was very thorough in his report. My experience with House Exam was very good and I would recommend them.

I called the House Exam Inspection for our future home. It was a short notice but the receptionist was very nice and assigned Adam for the job. He was on time and made a full report for us. After inspection, he sat down with me and went over the detail. I was very pleased with his job and I recommend this company to friends and family.

Recently my wife and I decided to purchase a home with a 6 day option. Victor from House Exam was able to fit me in the next day. Victor did an awesome job filling us in on what needed repaired. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed his professionalism. He had noticed the home needed extensive repairs with the foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Literally saving us $20,000. He even recommended some guys to come out and see the extent of work needed. I would highly recommend House Exam and if I ever purchase another home he will get a call from us. His business is family owned and you can tell right away that he cares. Victor - I want to thank you so much for your help. A Customer Forever, Chris + Kate

Paul was the inspector and did a great job. He was very thorough, on time, and explained everything very well.

My house inspection went as well as we could imagine. Paul did our inspection. He was on time and very thorough. What we liked about Paul was that during the inspection he did not cut us off from what he was doing. He walked me through each step of his inspection process. He showed me things along the way as he saw them. He let me be a part of the inspection, inviting me to see things and walk with him as he did the inspection. At the end of the inspection he gave me a run down of everything he noticed with the house and pictures. Walking around with him throughout the process helped me have a better understanding when he was explaining things at the end. He was very thorough at the end detailing all the important things and the things that could be done quick and easy. He stayed around the house answering questions until I was satisfied. I received my inspection report in my email almost immediately after we left. It was a comforting experiencing dealing with an experienced professional who took the time to make us feel like our family and this house was important to him. We would recommend Home Inspection and Paul to anyone needing a home inspection.

Working with Home Exam was so very easy. I called late on a Sunday, just hours after our offer was accepted on the house, to see about scheduling an appointment. Victor answered the phone and was more than pleasant and willing to answer my questions, despite the fact that it sounded like he was out with his family. He was able to schedule an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. Paul was our inspector and, again, so easy to work with. Very friendly and professional. Paul was very thorough and walked me through all his findings with helpful pictures, and honest suggestions. The written report was easy to understand and was very straight forward with the few concerns. Luckily the house only has a few very minor issues, but it was all the more pleasant experience thanks to Victor, Paul and Home Exam. Both my realtor and I will be recommending their services in the future!

As per my daughter: Victor answered the phone when I called and was very friendly and helpful in setting up an appointment for us in the time required (w/in 2 days). Paul inspected a 20+ year old house for us. He called beforehand to confirm; he was punctual, thorough (yes, he went on the roof), friendly, professional. He took all the time we needed to fully understand his findings by physically showing us and explaining the details. We were then knowledgeable in what to do next and feel confident in how to proceed. We would use House Exam again.

Brandon was on time at 8:00 a.m. to inspect the house I had under an option contract. It's a 90 year old house and there was a lot of ground to cover; he was extremely thorough and explained his findings in detail. He left about 11:00; I had his written report by mid-afternoon. The service was very helpful in my decision-making process, and I wouldn't hesitate to call on House Exam again.

Went great. Victor was extremely thorough. Very professional the whole time he was there. Looked at everything i could think of in the house and did great explaining the things me and my husband had questions about.

The man who did the inspection (Adam Sedinger) was very thorough, knowledgeable, extremely patient with answering my questions. He came on time and the man was just overall incredible. I feel that I really received my moneys worth.

Adam was amazing, thorough, courteous, and open to discussion. I have used this company four times and will continue to use them.

He was extremely helpful and professional the entire time. He provided a very detailed inspection report, listing everything he saw with descriptions and pictures. The report was very useful for me when I was reveiwing what kind of repairs the house needed. He offered contacts and help beyond the day of the inpsection. I would use the company again and highly reccomend it!

He did above and beyond their service because he also gave me some advice on how to keep my house in good condition. He has a fair price.

Victor was very courteous. He was running late and called me to let me know before I left to meet him. He performed a very thorough inspection including notes on several questionable areas that needed further inspection by a specialist. He even supplied some recommended specialists when I asked. He took the time to review every item with me so I could have first hand knowledge of the issue. The report was delivered promptly with excellent documentation and pictures. He did such a good job documenting what he saw that the seller's addressed every single issue in the report at their cost. I would certainly use them again and recommend to anyone.

He was very thorough and reasonably priced. He was quick and responsive and we received the report back in a timely manner.

He spent over three hours inspecting everything in the house we were looking to buy. He found many problems that no one had found previously. When he was finished he spent even more time explaining everything to us. He was very knowledgeable and patient and answered all our questions. We are very happy and will definitely use his company again.

Paul was knowledgeable and exceptionally thorough. I highly recommend him. Everyone I had contact with from this company was friendly and helpful.
