Within just days of moving in, we discovered so many problems with this home that were visible to the eye. The worst offense was the leak/water damage inside the home running all along the wall. This was started by a broken tile on the roof which caused water to accumulate on one side. Next to the broken tile was mold. And down the column from the leaky water was rust.
The inspector missed ALL of this. The roof tile, the rust, the mold and the water damage inside the home. The inspector claims that this damage (which I showed him with pictures) occurred in the weeks between inspection and closing. Common sense and 2 handymen suggest otherwise.
Now a few weeks after moving in, we continue to discover electrical lines which aren't working, damaged pavers throughout the home, non-working refridgerators in our patio, broken electronic window fixtures, broken shower fixtures, a significant bug problem...the list keeps going. The home we bought turned out to be neglected by its prior home owner - and too much of that neglect was completely missed by this home inspector.
I would never in my life refer this man/company to another person. We are extremely disappointed with this service.
Response from Marvin Maizel Home Inspection Service

"The inspection was very thorough and was completed well before the month and a half of severe rainstorms that ensued. I walked the roof and reported on the minor issues that were then visible. I did find that an access door to the attic area was blocked from view and on inspection found and reported water damage, pest intrusion and mold. This issue was major and was hidden from immediate view. The water accumulation and surface leaking was not there when I inspected the roof. I relayed all of this to Mr. (member name removed) to no avail. All of the other issues in the complaint were, in fact, reported as part of the inspection process ...in the report. This is an 8,000 sq ft ...+/-3.5 million dollar house that had many inspection issues with the major one being behind the hidden attic access door... just to put the other issues in proper perspective. The attic issue and many of the other issues were corrected by the owner."

They were fantastic! They showed up on time, did what they were supposed to do, then sent a very detailed report. They were incredibly knowledgeable and we’re very happy we used their services.

We used him a second time after we and the seller could not agree on a final price after the appraisal in our first attempt to purchase a home. He was, as we knew from previous experience, early and very thorough. This time he did both the inspection and wind mitigation analysis. He gave us the a verbal report on the spot and the final, formal reports electronically with photos and full documentation later the same day.

He went through the entire home inspecting each room which included all systems and structural aspects.  His submission report  was clear, easy to read and thorough.  The inspection was scheduled for 8 AM and we had the written report by 2 PM that day!

We were very pleased with the work he did and his attention to our concerns about the house. He was also very responsive to a subsequent call for clarification on an item. He was very easy to work with and very easy to talk to. We would be very confident in using his services again. Our agent, who was present, also thought he was very thorough and said that she would recommend him to other clients.
