This service turned out ok. Nothing stood out about this service. He missed some spots in the house that he could have paid a little bit more attention to detail. They did a decent job but not in all areas. They are a good company.

It went really well. Erin showed up early and jumped right in. He covered every aspect of our new home, caught tons of issues, and was very thorough and reassuring. We felt like we were in good hands and he was very clear about what he was seeing at every step of the way. This really helped us out because we felt like he gave us the information we needed to make good decisions about our counter offer.
Description of Work: Performed a full inspection of a home we are purchasing.

Terrific !!! As a Realtor I have been referring Stephan Cancler of Full House Home Inspections to my clients for the past ten years, He is prompt, courtliest, thorough and professional. I have seen many other inspectors used by other realtors on sales of on listings who are arrogant, alarmists, disrespectful, ill prepared and some just downright incompetent. It is my company's policy for me to give three names of home inspectors whenever I make a sale. Stephan will always be at the top of my list.

Overall he was very easy to work with but he missed items that cost us money that the seller should have paid for or lowered the sale price. The family room had sunk down 2 1/2" in the center costing us almost $2,000 to repair. Did not identify the jacuzzi tub had no access to plumbing which is required. A triple pane window that has a bad seal & a tub that barely drained.
Description of Work: This was a full home inspection for a purchase.

I did identify the jacuzzi tub that had no access to plumbing. This was clearly stated in the report. I attempted to contact the customer several times and did not receive a response.

It worked out fine. There were some things he did not find, but they were fairly minor when you add up the cost to replace them. He took his time with the inspection and was very thorough. However, this was not the best inspection that I had.
Description of Work: They completed a home inspection for the home that we purchased.

Response from FULL HOUSE Inspection Services
I attempted to contact this client for more information regarding her concerns about this not being a totally satisfactory inspection and received no response. We did find some issues, that were reported, which saved them thousands of dollars. The client also sent a review to our website stating.."Working with Stephen Cancler was a pleasure. He talked periodically with us at different stages of the inspection when he found an area of concern or what could be a potential problem if not addressed in the future. Stephen is professional, detailed and is knowledgeable about current codes and regulations.." The customer then rated our services all 5's on a 1-5 scale. (including a yes for hiring again). We are perplexed by her recent comments.

It went very well. The inspector was very professional and gave us good information for us to consider as we move forward with our remodeling projects. We received his written report within a couple of days of the inspection.
Description of Work: Note that the $95 price was a special rate, the rest was paid by Community Power Works. We were assigned Full House to do an energy audit in advance of making significant energy upgrades to our home. The scheduling process was quick and efficient, and the inspector showed up as arranged. This was, frankly, a more extensive audit than we anticipated. He inspected the whole house, top to bottom, and ran a fan sealed into our front door for a good part of the time to check for air leaks. At the end of the approximately four-hour inspection, he met with us and went over his findings, making recommendations for improvements, noting what kinds of improvements are most cost-effective in reducing energy consumption.
