Mr. Inside Out Home Inspection Services, Inc.

Experience was great from beginning to end. Elayna got everything setup quickly and promptly. They accommodated a last minute request. The inspection was thorough and very informative. I would recommend them to everyone. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Dennis was very knowledgeable and pointed out some key problems. However the inspection report was not as detailed as I was hoping for and lacked photos of the problem areas.

Working with Mr. Inside Out was one of the best decisions my husband and I made as new homeowners. Dennis and team were able to complete our inspection within 24 hours of us reaching out and were extremely efficient, thorough, and professional. Dennis even came back to check out a few lingering questions we had after we moved into our new home. We cannot recommend Mr. Inside out enough!

Mr. Inside Out was efficient, timely, professional and thorough. I'd recommend! Thank you, Dennis! :-)

Paul and Dennis were incredibly thorough and did a great job in walking me through any issues with the house and work should be done. Both very personable and helpful

The inspection went wonderfully. Lucky for us the house we are about to close on was in very good shape. More importantly I learned many tips to look out for in the house about the roof, forced heat unit, radon mitigation system, electric box........ It took him longer to do his job because he was going into details with me about possible future issues. My husband had to work so I was very nervous and had a notebook to take notes for my husband. As it turned out, I did not need to. Dennis wrote all of it in his report, very thorough. As far as the mold issue, he was at my house 2 days following my call to him. He was early, as usual, and took the sample. I had 2 estimates for remediation (removing the mold safely, according to NY state rules) that were extremely high. He has several contacts in his line of work and was able to get me a mold remediation company that will do the work for half the money. There are not enough words to express how highly satisfied I am with Mr. Inside Out. As a side bar, he is also a very pleasurable person to talk with who has many life experiences to lend to his current work experiences. In his words, "it is not what you know it is who you know".

I have know Dennis Friend from Mr. Inside Out for a long time, he is a great inspector. Not only I have always recommended him to my clients, I have used Dennis's service myself. Dennis is very experienced, will not miss a thing. So, relax, you are getting top service. He brings a young guy to help him so that he can focus on the things that require lots of experience and attention to detail. He provides the client with a very comprehensive report, easy to use. When buying a house you don't want to go with a rookie. I am sure anyway would be very pleased with Dennis from Mr. Inside Out.

Mr. InsideOut is fantastic! My family has used Mr. InsideOut for 3 homes already and we wouldn't hesitate to call on him again! The home inspection was very thorough and saved me easy $12-15k. He responded promptly to any and all follow on questions.

Paul is the best inspector!!! He is the second inspector I hired in this house purchase process and he is the right one!!! Paul arrived earlier than me in the inspection day. By the time I arrived, he already finished checking the roof (he climbed up there) and was inspecting the exterior of the house. Then we started checking the rest of the house together. During the process, Paul pointed out all details, patiently explained everything, and made recommendations for fixing. The whole process was both professional, efficient, and funny (yes, he is a funny guy). His assistant, Martin (sorry if I remembered the name wrong!), was awesome too by checking the inside of the house and walking me through every details too. Later, a very detailed report with 50+ pictures were sent to me. He suggested my agent to ask for the record of removing underground oil tank, which I would never know if he did not mention. I also inquired him about some other tests, he gave me honest suggestions on which ones are not necessary. After the inspection, he also answers my follow up questions proactively, which helped a lot in my decision making. I would recommend Paul to anyone that is looking for an inspector that will make your seller mad, but make you feel worth the money for the inspection.

Excellent! Very thorough and insightful

We used this inspector to look at two homes in the Westchester area, about 3 years ago. With the first home, Dennis did a very thorough inspection. To the point where we decided not to buy the house. As he was so thorough on the first house, we hired him again to check on the home we eventually bought. That's when the trouble started. When I arrived at the home for the inspection, I found Dennis and the home owner sitting in the kitchen laughing over coffee. This seemed a bit odd to me, but, considering Dennis's previous performance, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not going to say that any money exchanged hands between the buyer and this guy, because I have no proof, and saying this would invite a lawsuit. I'm just going to tell my story and let the reader think what they will. The inspection went fine, if a bit hurried. He mentioned a few minor things, but told us that the house was generally in good shape, and we should have no real issues. He did say the roof was a bit older, and would probably need replacing in a year or two. At the time, there was a bit of an odd smell in the house, but all the windows were open, and I didn't think much of it. I assumed it was the home owners. On his recommendation, we bought the house, and moved in a couple of months later. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed was that the front door didn't close securely, and was misaligned from the frame. The entire front door and frame eventually had to be replaced. The second thing we noticed was that there was a very strong smell all throughout the house. Never having experienced a gas leak before, we assumed that some animal had died beneath the back deck or that some insects had made a hive somewhere. So we hired an exterminator to check it out. Nothing. Then, after moving everything in, we had some friends over. They immediately recognized the smell as gas. Turns out the gas lines in the kitchen and out to the yard were made of inferior material and were leaking like a sieve. We had to find other living arrangements for a month while we got all the gas lines replaced, the oven and stove repaired, and waited for the gas company to approve the repairs. Once this was complete, we moved back in and discovered a brand new overwhelming odor. Turns out the plumbing was awful, and the main waste line was leaking into the furnace room in the basement. A plumber had to replace a large portion of the pipes. Next: the roof had FOUR LAYERS of shingles, and the wood beneath was very thin and in bad shape. The pool needed a complete resurfacing and the lines to the filter replaced. The garage door was not only broken, but completely unmovable. Replacement was required. (Though admittedly, he had mentioned this in passing). There was a termite issue, fortunately there hadn't yet been much damage, but we needed to exterminate. The electric system was ancient and had had several very inexpert repairs in the past, leading to a host of electrical issues.. The shower in one of the bathrooms had a misaligned drain that leaked into the basement. (And it was not a small leak) There was more, much more. When people came to do repairs they would say things like "How the **** did this house pass inspection?". In total, we have been forced to do about 30,000 dollars worth of unexpected repairs. So far, that is... We've only been in the house a couple of years, so who knows what else is wrong? We still haven't been able to afford to fix the leaking shower yet (as it will require near-complete demolition and replacement), so our family of 4 uses one shower. When we talked to the inspector, they said they would refund the $900 fee, but only if we signed and agreement not to talk to people about our ordeal afterwards. Obviously I did not take the money. We looked into suing them, but discovered that NY State law says the inspector is only liable for the amount they charged us. There you go. There's our story. Hire this guy at your own risk, and, if you do, make sure he doesn't talk to the homeowner before you get there. As a final note: I have receipts and proof of the services and failures in question, if there are any doubts to the veracity of our claims here.

Dennis was incredible. He was punctual, professional, and just what we needed for our home inspection. The seller lied to us about the age of the roof and Dennis was able to quickly bring this to our attention. He was able to explain all of the home issues so that we could make the best decision for our family. I would highly recommend him moving forward.

Paul and Martin were friendly, helpful and extremely thorough. They took the time to walk me through every inspection point and made sure I understood how everything in my new house worked. They also gave me some helpful household tips since this was my first home! I and confident in their professionalism and would absolutely recommend Mr. Inside Out

Paul and his crew saved us from making not one but two very costly mistakes! The attention to detail they demonstrated was truly impressive, and the issues they discovered in the homes we had inspected showed that they have a deep understanding of houses, their systems and the things that can go wrong. On top of that they are consummate professionals, pleasant to be around and respectful of the homes they're inspecting, while still being extremely thorough. I've seen other home inspectors at work so I know these guys are truly a cut above (and I wish I'd had them the last time I was buying a house!).

Absolutely the most thorough inspector out there, Paul inspected my first home 10 years ago and found some issues that saved me $$$ but last month he inspected what was to me my new place and uncovered countless problems that would have cost me thousands. Only one I’d ever work with again.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Mr. Inside Out. They were highly professional, performed an excellent inspection and were very responsive to follow on support I needed for my mortgage/lender. Bottom line: if you want an excellent inspector and great service, I highly recommend Mr. Inside Out.

very informative, productive, clear. felt complete.

Mr. Inside Out came to do our inspection on Sunday with less than 48 hours notice. We were so impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and made us feel comfortable throughout the inspection. This was the first time I had ever seen 2 people do the inspection together which was nice as it went much quicker than normal. Less than 2 hours! We love that Dennis made it clear that no house is perfect but his job is to make sure we are fully aware of all safety issues. Dennis really went above and beyond and even answered questions my husband and I had after the inspection. We will absolutely be recommending Dennis and his team at Mr. Inside Out to our family and Friends!

Inspector failed to mention that our electrical system had a small fire “frayed” system, because of this our system can go out anytime, we have children one is disabled and the other is an infant. This not safe at all.

I can’t say enough about how exceptional Paul is. His professionalism, keene eye and solid advice during our two inspections is greatly appreciated.

I would highly recommend him to anyone and if I buy another property I will be dealing with him. He represents his company very well. The money was well spent.

Was really happy how the inspection went and Dennis along with his assistant went through the entire house from top to bottom. I was shown and explained any deficiencies and was given recommendations on how to remedy the problem. At the end of the inspection, I was given a binder with detailed information for each room inspected. An issue came up after the inspection was completed and Dennis was always available to speak to me, offering his honest advise- even if it might have potentially killed the deal. I felt he had my best interest in mind and was told by Dennis that "he is working for me and no one else" since I hired him. He was very professional and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to assist me and I would highly recommend him and his company.

They came with two inspectors; one would go ahead and look at things while the other walked us through and explained. They seemed very detailed, thorough, professional. They left us with a binder of room-by-room information and recommendations.

Very rushed inspection. The owner came with another guy in a beat up van and went through a 5 bedroom house in a ridiculously short time. They actually forgot a room when doing the inspection. The owner gave a barely legible binder full of cursory evaluations at the end. Only thing that I actually used was the radon test. Complete waste of money.

Quick but thorough. He had a helper with him checking things out. Dennis seemed knowledgeable and didn't hold back or try to sugarcoat anything. He is a little abrasive with a " matter of fact" way of speaking, but did a good job of making sure we understood what his findings were and showing us what he has found. He saved us 30 years of trouble and a ton of money when he pointed out bowed foundation walls. He explained why it happens and offered some possible solutions, but we decided that it wasn't worth the risk and were very thankful we hired Mr InsideOut instead of the realtors "yes man" who I feel would have told us it was nothing to worry about. Best money I ever spent the be heartbroken. Thank you Dennis, looking forward to our next inspection.
