BUILDING SPECS

unknown

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Building Specs in Moorpark, CA. The owner is Blake Felton. He does home and mold inspections. We hired him to test for mold in a house while we were in escrow on it. He seemed really nice and helpful. However, we stressed that we were on a very tight deadline to sign off on contingencies in escrow, so we needed the mold report back quickly. We even drove our mold samples to the lab ourselves to expedite the process. We received the lab reports fairly quickly, and he promised us that he'd email his report which interpreted the lab results within 1 business day of the lab reports. Well, now it's been over a month and a half since he did the mold inspection and we still don't have his report. He kept promising to send it, and then he eventually told us that he sent it to us....despite the fact that we kept telling him that we never received it. Emails just don't get lost! Clearly he was lying to us. He never did the report. We are extremely disappointed as we paid alot of money for the mold inspection. Additionally we thought he seemed like a nice man but he completely dropped the ball and then lying to us was just awful. It should also be noted that we are quite sure he mixed up our mold samples. In one room where it clearly smelled like mold, the room tested fine, while in another area of the house, there is no odor or visible dry rot, and the sample tested high for mold. Two remediation companies have already told us that he clearly mixed up the samples. So please do yourself a favor and don't use his "services". We have reported him to the Better Business Bureau as well.

My husband and I both were present for 100% of the inspection. From my limited experience, we felt that Mr. Felton was fairly thorough and availed himself to any questions we had during the inspection. While he provided us with an on-site, verbal "re-cap", a 45 page PDFile inspection report with photos was emailed to both us the next morning. So far, I feel that Blake Felton provided a good value for his service, though time will be the real judge of his performance.

HE BASICALLY RUBBER STAMPED THE HOUSE. HE DIDN'T FIND THINGS THAT WERE WRONG. HE PASSED THINGS IN CERTAIN AREAS THAT WEREN'T REALLY FIXED. HE DID FIND A FEW MINOR THINGS BUT DIDN'T FIND MAJOR THINGS.
