The Home Inspectors

stsHOME OWNER BEWARE! This company is used by our realtors and we were not given a choice. We bought a 4,000 sq ft house. I was told the inspector would be there a min of 3 hours. NOT TRUE. I received a call an hour into the scheduled inspection that the job was "complete". This should have been red flag #1. They give you a nice binder with a CD and everything looks fancy, but who has an inspection company with the web address of http://termitesforfree.c??? No one unless you are hiding something. Red flag #2. After we moved in we found several things deficient. The first happened on Christmas day. We had the owners put in a new stove, the inspector came back out and "inspected" the changes the owner did. On Christmas day I was feeling light headed and dizzy. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed, my brilliant husband thought about it more and called the gas company and they came out and found a huge gas leak in the cook top, one that was missed by this so-called inspector. Another deficiency was an upstairs window that had major rotted wood around he window - wood that has been rotted for at least 5 years according to the company that repaired it. When we called the owner, Bill, to come out, he did then said his guy did the work and they followed the Homes Inspection code. I guess the code allows for major home oversights and untalented people who go to inspection school for a few hours to be allowed to inspect your home! Please use another company with good ratings and don't just go with the first company your Realtor suggests! Please stay away from this company if you don't want a money pit after the deal is already done!
