Description of Work: I scheduled a home inspection with Leon for March 18, 2015 at 2:00 pm. I arrived a few minutes after 2pm, and met my agent at the home. She had been there at least 30 mins. earlier, and told me that Leon was there before she arrived. Throughout the inspection Leon was very detailed oriented, and I felt assured that he was doing a top-notch inspection. Upon completion of the inspection, he printed out the inspection report, put it into a binder, and went over each of his findings with me. I don't think I could have received better service from any other inspector, as I have been told that most do not go up on the roof - Leon did. He also had detailed photos of his findings, as well as a photo disc. I would recommend Atlantic Inspection, Inc. to anyone who is looking for a professional inspection, bound inspection report, and an explanation of his findings.

Description of Work: Leon was exceptional. His attention to detail and knowledge of the home built in the period that our home was constructed were quite valuable. He was readily available to speak to me after his inspection, and took the time to go over everything in his inspection report one item at a time. His part in our home buying process was very important, and he helped to ease some of the anxiety that goes with buying an old home, newly renovated. We would highly recommend Leon Smith, and Atlantic Inspection.

I would enthusiastically recommend Mr. Leon Smith to anyone seeking an old fashioned professional Home Inspector who will do a superior job for you.
Description of Work: Leon Smith of Atlantic Inspections, Inc. did a superior, fantastic job. He discovered a problem with the roof support done 8 years earlier which other home inspectors neglected to notice. As a result of his experience, his expertise and his professionalism, he found a potentially disastrous situation which caused us to pass on a house that we really wanted.

Mr. Smith arrived exactly on time and took his time going through my house from basement to attic. I have a very old house (80+ years) and I had a particular problem with a leak coming into the ground floor ceiling than neither a roofer nor a plumber could identify. Leon saw that water was coming in behind the gutter, and also another gutter that could cause more problems later on. He pointed out changes that could or should be made to make the house safer or could possibly lower my utility bills. He was at my home for approx. 4 hours and when he was done he provided me with a notebook that gave a thorough overview of everything - roof, plumbing, dampness, electrical, etc. - plus pictures and a DVD!!! He also gave me the name of a roofer whom I called and was very impressed with who will be doing the repairs to the roof and chimney. I had been thinking about getting a whole-house appraisal for a while but thought it might be too costly. WIth the 20% off Angie's List coupon it was money well spent. Although I don't intend to sell my home, I do want to keep it in good condition and this evaluation has established the "big picture"; something I can use to make modifications a little at a time.

Leon Smith of Atlantic Inspectioins provided a completely thorough inspection from start to finish. Mr. Smith is very detailed and extremely knowledgeable about the different components of a home. He explained the working parts of the home in a way that made since. He provided pictures, maintenance tips, and a professional report which will all come in handy if I need to refer back to something. I highly recommend Leon Smith of Atlantic Inspections, Inc.

The entire appointment went smoothly. It was necessary for Atlantic Inspections to have a table top or other location with access to power suitable for computer hookup. In a very systematic manner each part of my house was inspected and after each it appeared that the details were captured before moving on to the next. The entire visit lasted about 3 hours and at the end of the appointment I was presented a bound detailed report of each area and digital photos of the problem areas. The entire report was reviewed at which time all questions were answered and I was provided contact information of companies that could help with those problem areas.
Description of Work: Atlantic Inspectons was contacted to perform a thorough Pre inspection to prepare us for getting our house ready for sale. He arrived on time, explained what he would do and how long to expect the inspection to take. At the end he provided us with a well documented and comprehensive report, including photos, of the issues that needed to be addressed and provided names and contact information for professionals that could help in the event that was necessary.

Leon was very professional. He was chosen by our real estate agent (our fault). I noticed things while we were there for the inspection that the trained eye of the inspector "didn't see". Moreover, we're still finding things that we felt he should have caught during the inspection. Things that aren't hidden or would have needed any kind of removal of anything to see. One would like to think that your agent the hired inspector have your back, however, buyer beware. Although he gave us a "thorough" and professional report, we question his thoroughness.

Response from Atlantic Inspection, Inc.
Occasionally clients do not grasp the intended scope of a home inspection. Cosmetic issues are not a consideration in the report. Be assured your inspector sees these issues but is more intent on reporting items the client cannot see or is unable to properly interpret, issues that impact the viability of the house. Realtor recommendation of an Inspector is an excellent way to chose an Inspector. Experienced Realtors have worked with many inspectors and have determined those that do the best job. The Realtors we work with are very concerned with the wellfare of their clients and do not want to take the chance of having them under served or potentially alienating them. In a decade in the industry and 5000 inspections we have run into three to four Realtors not willing to properly represent their client. We chose not to work with them again.
