He was extremely rude and unprofessional during the entire escrow period, We had a home inspection and asked for repairs to be done. When Hinkle was through YELLING at my real estate agent, he sent the repair requests to the out of state owners and they agreed. Turns out Hinkle HIMSELF did the repairs! We moved in and within 9 days our kitchen was flooded and we had no floor, cabinets or walls! The result of an air gap \"repair\" the Hinkle did.The toilet that Hinkle \"fixed\" leaked like a sieve. We asked for some lights to be repaired as well. NONE of them work now! Hinkle actually forged a document as well, indicating that we waived our right to a final inspection! We have the proof!! I kept Kellner informed of all of this and he told me to take a hike. I filed with the BBB and Kellner is choosing to ignore them. I will be filing a complaint with the Fresno Association of Realtors and with the State of California. STAY AWAY! RUN AWAY from this company and ANY of their real estate agents, especially, PAUL HINKLE!!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/madera/kellner-and-son%27s-properties-reviews-5000766.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Clovis Chimney","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lisa W."},"reviewBody":"They were extremely professional and courteous.

Then she explained that there was a defective part that caused ice to build up in my freezer and then melt slightly during the defrost cycle. Overtime, the water spilled out onto the bed of my fridge and then eventually out onto my floor. She told me it was a fairly easy fix. She estimated how long it would take and then gave me a quote for the parts and labor on the spot (which was reasonable). The part had to be ordered and I had to wait a week for her to come back to fix it. However, Jill did some preliminary work on melting the visible ice and gave me some pointers on how to protect my floor in the meantime. Overall, Jill was pleasant, efficient and very professional. I would definitely buy her services again.

We are a full service fireplace repair, cleaning, and sales company. We operate in a very large to accommodate our customers who utilize their wood, pellet, and gas fireplaces. Be it Inserts, Freestanding, or Built Ins. We also service and clean dryer vents.
"Initially I was satisfied with service. When Ashtree could not safely repair my insert I went ahead and purchased a new one from them. Ashtree contacted with a subcontractor who walked off my job after 1 day leaving the job unfinished. The owner of Ashtree, and the subcontractor are now both putting responsibility back off onto the other party (with me caught in the middle) despite the fact that Ashtree hired the subcontractor and my contract was with them, making them legally responsible. Now the job remains unfinished and neither party can be bothered to come to my home and put up a tarp despite repeated requests that someone do so to help prevent cold air from coming into my home. I'm not upset so much at minor issues with finishing the job as I am the lack of responsibility on the part of both Ashtree, and it's subcontractor and unwillingness to put up a tarp to ease my discomfort in a difficult situation. Such a small gesture refused to ease the discomfort of a customer speaks volumes about how much both I and my business mean to Ashtree AC and chimney. Truly sad!"

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts
You can ensure a home inspector is unbiased by doing your research. Verify their work history and certifications so you know they’re qualified to be inspecting your home. Read reviews to understand other customers’ experiences and whether or not they were satisfied with the inspector’s assessment. Interview potential home inspectors and ask how they get their clients. If they’re not dependent on any one realtor for clients, they’re unlikely to risk producing a faulty report just to benefit one agent.
For real estate transactions in most states, it is up to the buyer to pay for a home inspector to conduct a home inspection. With the buyer footing the bill, it allows them to choose an inspector they trust to conduct the inspection and review the report themselves to note any major and minor issues.
Removing your fireplace can lower your home’s overall value, but probably only slightly (around $1,000 to $5,000, on average). When deciding whether or not to remove your fireplace, weigh the benefits of removing your fireplace (less maintenance, more floor space) against the potential loss of value.
Annually, to ensure they remain watertight and in good condition.
In most cases, inspection costs are not included in closing costs. The inspection is usually a standalone expense the buyer or seller covers by choice. Closing costs are normally required and designed to cover other costs, such as appraisal fees, title search fees, and attorney fees.
