McDonald Home Inspections LLC

Tom failed us on multiple accounts and we would NOT recommend him. First, the house had a previous history of a leaking roof. We asked him to check the home (he was provided the report of a previous inspector's findings of moisture in certain areas that was said to have since been cleaned). He used the moisture meter but did not check the bathroom area in the location noted on the previous inspector's report. We later found out there was mold in that location. Second, he indicated that he had checked the temp split in the home which read adequately. It did not. Third, all the windows were reportedly checked, which he had not. They opened, but did not close. Fourth, he indicated that while there was, "minor" water damage by our french doors in the office, it was not an issue. During the first heavy rain our carpets were soaked and we had to have the whole area replaced. Fifth, he said he checked the appliances. One of our two stoves does not reach functioning temperature. Finally, we had asked him to complete a mold sampling test as I was worried about the previous water damage (although his report found nothing) which he happily completed for another $400. However, his sampling methods were questionable such that when I reached out to a reputable sampling company and my suspicions were confirmed, he (eventually) returned my money after multiple phone calls, emails and involvement of our real estate agent. Run, don't walk, from this home inspector.
