I lived in Arizona where an inspection includes a drippy faucet or burned our light bulb so to be fair, I am not sure what requirements Virginia has. We were not here but sent our son-in-law to participate. Since we have been in, our pipes bang when the water is turned on. Our electric patio screen was ripped up the side. The plug unit behind the tv that was left is literally falling out of the wall and taking wall with it. One of the blinds that we will be changing anyway, was not screwed in and I tried to open it and the entire thing fell on me. I have a box of electrical wires in the closet in a box. The box cover was broken, lying on the floor and all the 30+ wires were hanging out to the floor. The only other thing I can recall and probably too cosmetic was each bath room had towel bats, none match and also falling out of the wall. They had obviously repainted and their was paint on everything, light fixtures, cabinets etc. These things would have been noted in a AZ inspection but as I said, maybe not required in VA.
Description of Work: Fireplace installment had misplaced wires, missing window screens, a few other minor things.

Response from Clatterbuck Home Inspections, LLC
Thank you for taking the time for providing your review, however, we would like to address the specifics of your review. The inspection was conducted on October 16, not November 11 as you indicated. At the time the inspection was conducted, the home was occupied with furniture and fixed wall coverings. We can not predict or evaluate future damage that will be caused when the current occupants move their belongings out of the home. The report specifically indicated window screen concerns. The wires you mention are communication cables and are not evaluated as directed by national and license requirements. A home inspection does not address mismatched fixtures as these are aesthetic concerns. Painting issues performed after the inspection are identified during the closing walk through. Work not yet performed, can not be documented in an inspection report. Had you contacted our office any point after the inspection, your concerns could have easily been explained. We would like to point out that multiple safety concerns were noted in the inspection report.

Very professional. All of our questions were answered. We are moving from another state and to far away to be present for the inspection. We were allowed to have a phone conference with our agent and the inspector in order for me to ask questions and to be able to hear for myself what was found. This was such excellent service and allowed me as an "out-of-towner" to still be as present as I could. We would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a home inspection. Great Work!!!!

Greg was fantastic! He worked with us every step of the way! He was professional with not only the inspection but with taking his time with us making sure we understood every thing. Our inspection did find a couple issues with the home and he not only helped find those but went above as somethings we were unfamiliar with and he explained where they were, what they effected and an idea of a fix. His report was very detailed and easy to understand. After the fact he continued to go above and beyond; his report email contained memberships to programs that help us find recommended contractors and another program to help us keep track of maintenance and repairs. That was unexpected and very helpful! His price was about $20 higher than another company we spoke to but just from the first phone call I could tell his detail report would be the one for us. That extra 20 was very minimum and well worth with such a large investment in our home. I feel much better knowing that my new to me home is and will be kept at tip top shape. Thank you Greg! I would recommend him and if we ever buy again we will use him again ourselves.
Description of Work: We are purchasing our first home and not only needed a home inspection but advice on maintenance and repairs.

Greg did an outstanding job! He was very professional and detailed in his inspection, pointing out things that could have easily been missed if rushed. He was very thorough by checking all appliances, plumbing, electrical, and everything internal and external to the house. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: As a part of buying a new home, we needed to have a home inspection and radon test completed.

Very thorough, detailed, and knowledgeable. Easy to work with. Areas of concern highlighted, major and minor items. Would highly recommend again. When looking for a home inspector, this is exactly the type of inspector/inspector you want. Inspector had all up to date devices (thermal imagery, electronic reports, borescopes, etc.)
Description of Work: Pre-purchase home inspection. Radon test.

Greg Clatterbuck provided a home inspection service for a home that I intend to purchase. Mr. Clatterbuck was professional, prompt and provided a very thorough inspection of the home. After his inspection I was left with a thorough explanation and well documented report of his findings. The effort that was put forth has left me with details about the home that were necessary to know prior to purchasing the properties. I am confident that I will be able to make an informed decision about the property I intend to purchase because of employing Mr. Clatterbucks services. I would recommend to anyone interested in buying a home to spend the money on a home inspector and to contact Greg Clatterbuck for his exceptional service.

When my wife and I arrived at the appointment time, Greg had already been onsite for some time and completed most of the exterior inspection. We didn't fell rushed through the process and Greg went above to explain the findings and took time to answer all our questions. The use of the thermograph camera to identify missing insulation and disconnected air ducts helped to identify heating/cooling efficiencies that weren't immediately noticeable during the first walk throughs. At the conclusion of the test, Greg provided a thumb drive with the photos taken during the inspection, and the full report and summary was provided the same day in an easy-to-follow format for us future homeowners. Greg also set in place the "radon test" and will provide results within 48-hrs of test completion.
Description of Work: Greg conducted a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the home and lot, to include inspection of the attic crawl space and exterior roof. Greg went above and beyond to stress test the house during the home inspection and included digital photos and thermograph photos of all findings. The home inspection report was very detailed to highlight what normal, minor, and major findings were identified and recommendations to seek repairs or allowances for repairs before proceeding with the home purchase.
