"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

"Kevin was very professional and answered all my questions easily. Green Valley was by no means the cheapest quote we received, but we felt comfortable they would do quality work. If the cheapest price is your only concern, then Green Valley is the wrong company for you. We were foremost concerned with quality, and we were willing to pay for the quality we expected. After all, the warranty on a metal roof is only as good as the company who installs it, so I wanted a company that is local and stands by their work. And, they had better financing options that our bank, which was impressive. Kevin was great, and he showed us exactly what brands they used for skylights (Velux) and metal shingles (Decra XD), and he showed us samples of the products and why they were better quality. And, it wasn’t just talk, the samples matched exactly with what materials were used on the jobsite. Believe me, I checked, lol! Green Valley delivered exactly what they said they would. Kevin answered my questions about how they handled jobs that didn’t exactly go according to plan (because customer service definitely matters when things go wrong). A metal roof is a big financial investment, and I wanted to make sure that Green Valley recognized the amount of trust necessary for that kind of expense. Kevin set a great, positive tone for the company. We felt comfortable enough to sign that day, even though I had two more appointments with other roofing companies. The crew that came out to tear off and replace the asphalt roofing was AMAZING. They tore off and replaced the entire roof on the house and garage, installed the giant skylight and my beloved sun tunnel, cleaned everything up, and were done IN A DAY AND A HALF!! I was shocked they were that fast. They cleaned up every single time before they left for the day, and they constantly checked for any nails, which I appreciated since I have dogs. They arrived promptly every morning and were professional and thoughtful to work clean at all times. David came back for the final inspection of the roof, and I thought he would do a cursory, “Ok, looks great, thanks bye” without really looking things over. Boy, was I wrong. David was up on the roof inspecting and touching up here and there for the better part of two hours, and it was hot as **** out. That’s the attention to detail that I chose Green Valley for over the other companies out there. If you are spending this much money, you want someone who is more picky than you are, and for this reason, David is amazing. One small thing that was a little frustrating was the fact they installed the sun tunnel at an angle, not straight down as we had previously discussed. Being hunched over in an extremely hot and cramped attic, trying to make the sun tunnel line up in the kitchen was not fun. Fortunately, David had ordered me the extension kit, just in case, so I was able to correct the problem myself. Regardless, I love that sun tunnel so much, and my only regret is that I did not get another one for the living room or office. It lets in so much light, but without the heat from a skylight! Win win in the summertime! I LOVE MY VELUX SUN TUNNEL! I am so happy with it. We are already talking about replacing all the windows in the house, and I will definitely be calling Green Valley when we do. I have recommended Green Valley to my friends and family, and I would use them again, without hesitation."

"They weren't forthcoming about additional testing. Base inspection $299 then additional $400+ for lab testing. Wish I had known for vendor comparison purposes. However, I think it was worth it. Owner said the techs need to be instructed to say it was optional, but it helps you better understand the mold your dealing with. Glad I did it but not sure if it could have been done for less."

"Matt was an awesome rep. He came to our home inspected and gave us the quote. When there was an issue later down the road on where the window could be placed because we didn’t know where some of our lines were under ground be came back and reevaluated and came up with a plan. We had to change our entire floor plan for this window but it’s ok it wasn’t there fault it’s all going to work out in the end."

"Connor Avera who inspected the situation was very thorough explaining what would be done. The three men (Brandon A., Tim M., and Joshua S. ) were very polite and knowledgeable. Brandon called both days to tell me when they would arrive and they were always on time. They cleaned everything up after the completion. Brandon went thru and explained everything that was done. I highly recommend this company."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Homeowners insurance typically does not cover knob and tube (K&T) wiring due to its outdated nature and associated fire risks. Many insurance companies require the replacement of K&T wiring to provide coverage. Policies that do cover homes with K&T wiring may come with higher premiums or specific conditions. It's important to check with your insurance provider for their requirements and coverage options.

Septic tank locations are sometimes public record, although it depends on local laws and the property age. Older properties may not have the septic tank information on public record. To check, you can talk to local permitting agencies, such as your local health department, the local environmental department, or the county clerk.

While some homeowners may feel confident conducting their own roof inspections, hiring a professional roofing inspector is recommended for a safe and accurate assessment. Professional roof inspectors have the knowledge and experience to identify even the smallest signs of damage or potential issues and they can spot problems that may go unnoticed by an untrained eye.

Unless you waived the inspection contingency, you can often renegotiate after a home inspection and push for a lower sale price. The seller could reject the new price, offer to carry out the necessary repairs before closing, or offer a seller’s concession, which means they’d take money off the top of the sale price to cover the repairs after closing.

Unfortunately, home inspections do not check for asbestos because of the liability factor involved. That’s why you should hire a trained professional with specialized equipment to test for it. 

They will inspect all areas of the home and take samples of various materials to test. Opting for an asbestos inspection can prevent the risk of exposure to this hazardous material and save on costly repairs that may be required.
