Ken really helped us out of a tight spot: Our original inspector cancelled and Ken was able to rearrange his schedule to fit us in with only one day's notice. Ken and his son showed up right on time and they performed a very thorough and professional inspection. The completed report was very easy to read and understand. The price was very competitive and I found Ken and his son very easy to work with.

He helped me stay away from a home that we were considering buying that was not up to code (termite damage and defective heating unit)

Description of Work: Ken was recommended to me by my real estate agent. He completed a home inspection of a home I did purchase. He arrived on time and was very thorough. He verbally discussed items that needed attention and his written report captured everything. I found his information when 5 years later I was preparing the house for sale but decided not to have a pre- inspection at all. Would definitely call again.

Great CD-ROM to keep.
Description of Work: Inspector was already there when we arrived with the realtor. He crawled under the house; he showed my husband the attic. Explained everything on the report, which was on CD-ROM.

I found Mr. Melton's service to be prompt, thorough and courteous on both occasions. He was punctual and spent a significant amount of time with both my wife and I going over things he thought were normal and abnormal for an eighty-five year old house. He confronted the sellers of the house with problems on the Homebuying inspection ensuring the relationship between the sellers and buyers were not additionally strained. I was impressed enough with his work on my homebuying inspection that I asked him to complete a work inspection on masonry I thought was not completed properly 10 months after moving into the house. Once again he was prompt, professional and thorough. His reports are of high quality that can stand on their own in a court of law.
Description of Work: I have used Ken Melton's Homebuyer Inspections for two inspections. He did the buyers inspection on a home I purchased and subsequently did a work inspection on masonry I had problems with on a kitchen remodel. He was highly recommended by both my Realtor and mortgage lender. After working with him I am happy I took their recommendations.

Response from Ken Melton Home Inspections
TO SAY THE LEAST, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS REPORT. FIRST OF ALL, THEY ARE FILING THIS REPORT ONE YEAR AFTER I PERFORMED THE INSPECTION ON THEIR HOME. I AM SURE THEIR RECOLLECTION OF THE INSPECTION SHOULD BE A LITTLE FUZZY. THE ACTUAL COST OF THE INSPECTION WAS $255 DOLLARS AFTER I GAVE THEM A $20 DISCOUNT! SECONDLY, THEY RATED ME A "B" ON PUNCTUALITY WHEN THEY ARRIVED 15 MINUTES LATE. AND LASTLY, THEY STATED I SEEMED COLD AND DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT MY WORK. THAT IS PROBABLY IS THE MOST UNPROFOUND STATEMENT THEY COULD MAKE. IT IS AN INSULT AND UNJUSTIFIED. THE SIMPLE FACT THAT I DID A GREAT INSPECTION FOR THEM OVER ONE YEAR AGO AND THEY WOULD USE ME AGAIN SIGNIFIES THAT I CARE ABOUT MY WORK. I HAVE SENT THIS COUPLE A LETTER WITH MY CONCERNS OVER THIS REPORT AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. I AM NOT SURE THAT I WOULD INSPECT ANOTHER HOME FOR THESE PEOPLE SEEING THAT THEY ARE SO UNAPPRECIATIVE.
