"Great value, provided a lot of great info, quick turnaround time"

"It is my absolute pleasure to write this raving review for Benedict Ugorji (the owner) at Radon Shield LLC and I make no commission recommending him. The radon level was 1.8 pCi/L when I bought my home in Holmdel, NJ, in February 2021. I wanted to lower the radon level for personal health reasons (I have a young 3 year old) not for a real estate transaction (goal level <4 pCi/L). Safe levels were established in the 1970s (The history, development and the present status of the radon measurement programme in the United States of America. Radiat Prot Dosimetry 2015; 167(1-3): 8-14) so maybe new safe levels should be lower than the current recommendation to reflect available technologies for radon mitigation as there is no safe level. I spent $700+ for a new Fantech Rn4EC-4 fan and to seal the French drain serviced through RAdata in Flanders, NJ, and the level was unchanged at 1.6 and 1.9 pCi/L after servicing. RAdata is a disorganized business that will recommend the most expensive system (the energy recovery ventilator) that costs $3000 that other radon companies (I got two second opinions) will say that it does not work. Then RAdata proposed to install a second mitigation system right next to the current system, but could not intelligently justify why the second system would be right adjacent to the current system where there is already subterranean air flow generated by the current system instead of tackling the no subterranean air flow zone at the farthest end of the basement. Please refer to my review about RAdata on Yelp and Facebook and my subsequent reply to their response for details. I kept looking for another radon company and fortunately I found a gem in the unscrupulous radon business. The gem is Benedict whom I unwaveringly and unequivocally recommend. Benedict is responsive – he patiently listened about my radon situation and collected information about my pre and post service radon level and even information down to the granular level like what make and model fan RAdata installed. Benedict came to my home for the consultation, to run the diagnostic tests, he proposed solutions and offered his rational, he did the installation of the second mitigation system (in the area of the basement with no subterranean air flow) from start to finish by himself, he used a more powerful and cheaper fan for the second system (than the one RAdata installed for my first system), and he guaranteed to lower the radon to a specified level in his contract. Benedict charges one flat service fee (whereas RAdata charges the first hour and then at 15 min increments so you are discouraged from asking questions). Benedict took his time to explain to me about how a fan’s performance (like moving air measured in cubic feet per minute or CFM) is affected by your soil’s static pressure (the value on your u-tube manometer). He even followed up with me on a Saturday via text message about the short term radon level measured with the Corentium radon detector (while the charcoal kits are being sampled) and guided me through interpreting the short versus long term average as the values were quite different. We touched based again when the charcoal test came back and the levels were an astonishing 0.5 and 0.6 pCi/L!!!"

"Where to start? Jeff came early and was already checking out the outside of the house by the time we got there at the scheduled time. He was available on a Saturday and he made it work with ours and his schedule which was nice.
Once we got into the house he encouraged my wife and I to follow him around and listen to his sound and super experienced information and advice about every little facet of the house. He took a lot of photos and notes which we should be receiving a report from soon.
He notified us of things that might need more immediate repair and things that could be done over the course of the next few years. Jeff was a very nice, knowledgeable and friendly guy who just wants to get the job done right and is definitely on your side (the buyer).
I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone I know looking for a home inspection. Not only did his price include the home inspection but he also checked for termites and is in the process of doing the radon inspection in the basement.
Highly recommended and he'll even refer you to a good company for oil tank sweeping (who also doesn't charge an arm and a leg) if you need that as well.
Thanks Jeff!

"If you want detail, expertise, professionalism, and a savvy customer experience for your home inspection look no further than this man. He is a gem in this field and worth every penny."

"My review is a little mixed. he spent his time explaining a lot, gave great recommendations and estimates on what it would cost to renovate and such. very personable, and in his defense, he asked me if i had any questions. not afraid to get dirty and get onto the roof which was risky with the loose floorboard. also as a member of BP, i have high expectations. 
things i did not like: 
access to the roof was sealed, and that was it. no drone to take a look up top, no ladder to get up there. so i am paying more to get a roofer to inspect and estimate. he did attempt going through the loos floor boards, which was brave. 
there was a lot of mouse poop but we didn't investigate further, just stated that there was no indication of termites. not sure what the difference would be if i opted out of the termite inspection.
the girl on the phone assumed i was lying when i said there was no basement based off zillow or google stating there was a basement, and so i'm pretty sure they priced me as if the home had a basement. 
he checked the power outlets in the vacant unit, but not the other outlets in the unit with the tenant, assuming everything works?
things i did like:
he took his time explaining everything and giving the life expectancy of the appliances. even gave repair estimates
knowledgeable about the area and old buildings
found that there may be something on the ground unit as it was hollow, doubt others would have spotted that. 
advised on the tank sweep, cutting the tree that was growing over the driveway, electrical box which should be re-done. 
overall, the report was adequate, wished we did something about the roof, but his contract states if there is an obstruction or sealed, he won't go in there which sucks for me. swell guy, i'll try others to see how he better compares.

"It was excellent. Jamal has a lot of experience. He was wonderful. Everything was wonderful. I was happy with the quality of the job that was done."

"I would definitely recommend this inspector again. He was extremely knowledgeable & professional.."

"Very thorough inspection, uncovered several issues that I missed when looking at the home"

"A two-man team worked very efficiently to remove each vent cover and vacuum inside the vent openings throughout the townhouse. One man removed the vent covers while the other man vacuumed inside the vent openings. No problems with how they worked but I think there are other companies who perform a more thorough cleaning of ductwork using other methods. This company did a superficial cleaning and worked very quickly. In and out within an hour.

"Vinny at View Master Home Inspections was AMAZING! As first-time homeowners Vinny was great! We would RECOMMEND using him as your home inspector. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he took the extra time to explain what he was doing, and to answer all our questions (there were many). The process was not rushed and was very thorough. We feel that Vinny genuinely cared about helping us make the right decision on the home we were purchasing. After the inspection, he provided us with a detailed report and took time to walk us through it. His report put us in a very good position to negotiate the price of our home and allowed us to ask, with confidence, for credits, which we received. In the end, we ended save more money than we paid for Vinny’s services from the credits we received – Many, many times over! Do yourself a favor and call Vinny at View Master Home Inspection. You will be glad you did!"
