He was very thorough, took us through the house and explained everything he observed as well as providing helpful maintenance tips. He was able to speak to the quality of materials used and found a few problems that we were unaware of. He gave a very complete report the next day.
Unbelievably, while he was inspecting the home, our hot water tank ruptured (yes, and it was only 7 months old). We had a minor flood in the basement. BK had already been with us about three hours when this ocurred but he helped us clean up the mess. We repeatedly told him he didn't have to help us but he insisted.
It is so rare to find people with that kind of integrity and customer service orientation. He has a passion for what he does and you can tell he genuinely cares about his customers.
I would use him again in a heartbeat.
Overall, i was very impressed with with his thorough inspection, above and beyond attitude, professionalism, kind manner, and for giving us a great first home buyers experience to Home Inspection. I would 100% recommend BK to anyone in our area looking for an inspector.
When you arrive, he talks to you about some things and gives you a bottle of water and a flashlight. From there you start walking around looking at EVERYTHING. At the end he gives comments on what he saw and condition of the areas that need fixed. At the inspection he gives you a 3 ring binder with information along with 50 or so blank pages for you to print off the report at home.
I called him on a Monday and he was able to squeeze me in on that Saturday in the morning. That Thursday he went out to the house at 8pm to setup the radon test. Brian had the report to me, via e-mail, by Sunday at 5pm. .
I can't remember the exact price (what I listed was approximate but close to the correct price) but for the great service he provides it is well worth it! I even had a few questions weeks later and he remember the house and was able to address my question promptly.
I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or refer him to someone else (which I've done already) We haven't gotten the keys yet but if I find something that should have been caught I will update.
Great work!!!
We went inside and he greeted us, and had bottled water and some pop available - which was a nice touch. He asked us if we had any specific concerns and then let us know about some things that were to be expected with homes built in the 60s. He provided us with some flashlights as well so we could highlight and see everything he was pointing out to us.
He was VERY thorough and found a lot of small things along with a couple issues to be addressed immediately, and gave us some tips, recommended some resources of us to use for home repairs, improvement etc.
While he did find a lot of things we didn't expect, due to discussions with him and reading info on his website, we were not overwhelmed and were appreciative to have the report and notes to fall back on. He also gave us tips on regular maintenance and things to budget for that might need replacing soon.
When we wrapped up, he mentioned the report would be available in 24-36 hours - in fact it was in our inboxes about 12 hours later, filled with pictures and recommendations. As we were impressed by his attention to details in person, his report reflected the same.
In total he spent over 4 hours in the home...I really feel like we got our money's worth. And he's a pretty nice and down to earth guy too. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a good home inspection.
His report was extremely detailed and thorough, and he provided additional manuals for maintaing a home and a moving guide. He was really a professional and we would highly recommend him to anyone.
