"He is great to work with!"

"Save yourself some money and hire a professional in electrical, plumbing, roofing and structure to inspect your property. He failed to highlight the lack of sufficient plumbing vents in the house. Claimed it was up to code when I called the state and asked them about a specifi device that was used, it is not approved by the state. If he would have shown that was an issue in the inspection, I could have negotiated it in the price. Same with the electrical. There were too many outlets, including lights on the same circuit which is a big no no, but I did not get that info in the inspection. He was more worried about the laminate flooring not locking then he was the items that could have hidden costs. $10k and counting to replace the bathroom plumbing, with the kitchen next. Hodge Podge is what you will with this inspection service."

"Went great, service tech was super knowledgeable and did a great job with the install. Best of all it was far cheaper than any of the other bids I received."

"This was to be a 6 - 8 week project. We started on September 15th. We expected it to be done mid to late November. It is not complete as of January 18th. We have sheet rock dust everywhere, on all walls, floors cabinets, etc. We have walls that need to be repainted, trim to be done, carpet to lay, plumbing to complete, some cabinet work to finish and Custom Bi-fold doors to make for the oversized framing of the openings, and closet shelves to install. I am leaving things off the list I am sure but you get the picture. Our main contact, Lance, has not contacted us in 3 weeks. Our project sits. My thinking is that he is walking away from it as his last communication with us was to have a worker pick up a check from us in December for our carpet and flooring overage. He didn’t buy carpet is our guess as we have not gotten a install date, we were promised a schedule on December 27th. The team that was used for framing did not have enough experience. Almost all walls are not square or plumb. All Door openings were framed too tall and wide, including the Bi-fold Closet Doors. This team was also used to sheetrock. When I pointed out to Lance the many issues with their work he shrugged it off as not being too bad. Too few screws in the field and too many in other places. All outlet, light switch and register vents were cut larger than the cover plates. Requiring after the fact repair work. A pro sheetrocker would have flipped his lid. The taping and mudding was done by this team as well. They used way too much mud, ineffective use of tape and mud made for much much more sanding. They didn’t bother isolating the basement so we had weeks and weeks of sheetrock dust on our main and 2nd floor and that is with the furnace OFF whenever the team was here. The ceiling is passable save for a few areas that have noticeable valleys that are 4 plus feet long. Not all of the sanding is done yet but the walls are painted and have been patched in numerous locations and repainted, so the paint do not match up now. I can go on of course and I am not trying to bash. I am being honest about our experience. We have no idea when the end is and we feel that they have abandoned us for greener pastures. That’s what the lack of communication leads us to believe at least."

"We are purchasing a home out-of-state and have now used them twice. The first home inspection saved us from making a very expensive mistake. We realized we were in over our heads with our current plan thanks to the report. It allowed us to back out of the purchase. Always prompt and well detailed reports available the next day."
