I provided him with a ladder for the attic. He asked me to look at it from the ladder which I did. He then gets on the ladder and takes three quick pictures. I am surprised he is not doing a thorough inspection of the attic and bring up my concerns. He insists and takes me outside stating that I was over worrying. He gives me the binoculars and says that other than the two shingles the roof is in good condition.
Although he verbally insists there is no problem he writes on the report ?recommend further inspection of the roof?. He does this to cover himself. Since I had insisted and he came recommended I was not concerned, I was convinced I had covered my bases. However, I later realized (see below) I was dealing with someone of little integrity. He appeared to be a ?nice guy? but not thorough in his inspection. He showed lack of integrity when he did the minimal work.
Several months later I ask him to come fix the valve from the dishwasher (he offered at the inspection). I point out the water bubble and the damage to the ceiling inside the closet. He says nothing in reply initially but then says ?whatever they tell you, you don?t need a new roof?. However, how would you know when you never inspected the roof nor the attic?
I would not recommend this guy. He showed me in his work he is interested in doing as little as possible but also that he may not be as educated in doing a thorough inspection of the home.
"I am confident that any previous comments on Angie's List regarding our company would only be good comments on our service and professionalism. Anyone can say anything to put a favorable light on their side of the story and discredit the other side. We state on our reports to please read the entire report before settlement so that any issues can be addressed before purchase. The fact that [Member name removed] did not follow our suggestions and is now facing a big expense because of it, she wants to divert the blame to us. During this home inspection, the inspector (1) took pictures of the roof pointing out the deficiencies; (2) noted to have the roof inspected by a licensed roofing contractor; and, (3) wrote "Marginal" next to the roof and page 2 of the report explains "Marginal" as Item is not fully functional and requires repair or servicing."
They gave me a good deal. I only pay for home inspection and the termite inspection is free. I was impressed. They were professional. They were thorough and answered all my questions. They were not like instructors; they were more or less like friends explaining something to you. I would use them in the future.
