My wife and I recently signed a contract to purchase a house in Princeton NJ area two weeks ago. We got to know Vitale Inspection Services from my Realtor's recommended contractors list. We also did some research online before hired them. Inspector Anthony arrived on time and was friendly to work with. However, if you are a buyer and needs to get a home inspection done, I would not recommend Vitale Inspection Services. Here are the reasons why: Reason (1) before the home inspection, I had a landscaping company evaluated the property. The owner of the landscaping co. told me that there are several big trees are dying and there are at least two trees have died completely on the property. One of them are very tall and it is very close to the property. It needs to be taken down. I have brought this to Anthony's attention during the inspection and he has also acknowledged the dead trees. However, the condition of the trees was not included in the final home inspection report. Reason (2) There are thousands of unknow flies in the backyard and all over the rear walls and patio during the time of inspection. I had a conversation with Anthony. He did not know what kind of bugs they were. So, we did some research online and he believes these are spotted lantern flies. These flies were all over the backyard, including patio furniture, lighting posts, walls, windows, doors, at least thousands of them. I specifically asked him to include and document the infestation in the report. Anthony was not willing to do initially during the final discussion with the broker. Even thou he finally agrees to include in the report, he posted a photo of a back wall/siding that has only TWO spotted lantern flies. Anthony did not present a true picture and how the bugs were infested in the rear of the building and backyard. Reason three (3), There are two chimneys on the property. He tested one of them and found it to be in operation. However, when I asked him if the 2nd Chimney/ fireplace. He stated that there is no gas connection to the 2nd fireplace, and he is not able to test the fireplace. His recommendation is to have the Seller turn on the fireplace at the final walk thru. My understanding of an inspector's job is to test and operate all systems and appliances. I should rely on his inspection report to determine the condition of the house that I am about to purchase. I should not rely on the Seller to demonstrate the any of the appliances or systems, including fireplace is in working condition on the day of closing. Reason Four (4), it is no usual to have the seller to request in the Contract to mediate the Radon issue if the level of Radon (test) is much higher than the acceptable level. In my case, the seller did request the same. Therefore, I came to the inspection with some kind of caution. Anthony found out there is a Radon mitigation system in place in the basement to treat the Radon. During the time when he was placing the test kit in the basement for Radon, he volunteered and turned the fan speed on the Radon mitigation system from normal to maximum. As a home buyer, I do not understand the need for his action. If the current owner is operating the system on a normal level, why would my inspector to turn the Radon mitigation system to maximum fan level unless if he really wants the seller to past the test.... In conclusion, I would NOT recommend anyone who is going to purchase a house to hire Anthony / Vital Inspection Services as their home inspector, rather if you are trying to sell a house, you would want to deal with them to help you sell the house more quickly.
