He arrived about an hour before us to start his initial set up and run through some preliminary inspections. I was worried we wouldn't see everything if he went first, but he scoured the entire house--top to bottom--with us for over 4 hours! He even provided big flashlights, water, and a binder full of information--my favorite are the stickers for the moving boxes. The final report was over 70 pages long and provided a great road map for any future work we would need to do--complete with photos from areas we couldn't easily access.
I know there are a lot of people out there that will give you the inspection on the spot, but the fact that BK took 4-5 additional hours to review all photos and notes before providing the final report told us he wanted to catch everything. While you may think "wrecking ball and bulldozer" after he's done, he is sure to remind you that every house has flaws and it's his job to educate future homeowners so they can make the best decision possible.
Thank you BK for your honesty, integrity, and thorough approach to home inspection. We will absolutely recommend your services to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Cleveland area.
We had a very good experience with this inspection company. The inspector was very knowledgeable and courteous. He worked very hard to identify all possible issues with the home. He even stayed late to make sure that we were apprised of all the concerns. We were also impressed by the comprehensive report provided after the inspection. Each item of concern was identified with a description and photograph so we are able to refer back to the report at a later date. This is the second time we have bought a home and the first time we used a different company for our first inspection so we have a basis for comparison. Our first inspector was in and out of the home in an hour whereas King took a solid 4 hours to inspect. I would highly recommend this company. They are affordable and extremely competent.
I sorted by area and found Brian at the top for reviews. He has one F and the remaining were all A's. After reading the one poor review he didn't even perform service for the guy and he was mad about that. I quickly ignored that review as everyone else had only positive things to say. If I ever have to move again I will be sure to see if he is still around as this was the best service you could ask for.
Brian is very thorough and detailed in his inspections. If you are looking for the lazy 45min inspection in and out this is not your guy. If you want to know a great deal on the house you are looking to buy this will really help you out in your decision making. Brian only does 2 appointments a day, but you will quickly see why be thankful you are using his services. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking in the area.
The inspection was scheduled for around 8 am in the morning and me and my friend were told to arrive at 9:30. Mr. King went through every room with me and my friend pointing out deficiencies and answering any questions we may have had. He also provided suggestions on how the fix the property and make it more energy efficient. He emailed me my detailed written report with pictures within 24 hours after the inspection. I would definitely hire him again!
This was our second time using King Home Inspection; the first time was when we built the home, we had B.K. do a Radon test...again another wonderful experience.
I have had many inspectors in the past for home sales/purchases and B.K. stands above the crowd.
Highly recommended! Only inspector I would consider for future!!
