BAUER INSPECTION & CONSULTING SERVICES

I bought a house in 2015 in Lawrence, Kansas. Mr Bauer did the home inspection. He found six what he calls deficiencies. There was no mention of termites, and I had the deficiencies repaired and continued the preventive maintenance termite treatments. In 2016, I sold the home, and again Mr. Bauer did the Inspection. But now he found twice the number of deficiencies as he did in the first inspecton. He did not like the way the construction company corrected the deficiencies he reported in the 2015 inspection so he counted the repairs as deficiencies. Also, he reported active termites even though he didn't see any termites. For each inspection, Steve Bauer takes pictures of the house and notes any deficiencies. he took pictures of the front windows of the house for both the 2015 and 2016 inspections. In the 2015 report, there was no mention of any deficiencies, took a photo of the front windows of the house, but in the 2016 inspection, Mr. Bauer said I was trying to hide termite damage by re-trimming over damaged trim. These windows were in the very SAME condition in both inspections! Nothing had changed but a coat of paint. After tens of thousand dollars of repairs by a reputable company, my home was in worse condition according to Mr. Bauer. Even though the house was in a termite prevention program, there was evidence of termites according to Mr Bauer even though he didn't actually see any termites. Windows were okay in one inspection report but not in the inspection even though they were in the same condition. Did I mention that Mr. Bauer and the perspective buyer, a builder, live in the same small town (population 4,500)? Steve Bauer's falsely accused me of fraud, found problems where there were none and cost me thousands of dollars in the sale price of my home. I highly recommend you find someone else to do your home inspection.
