Boardman Home Inspection Inc

Apparently this man's job to break into the home of the seller, unannounced and without permission or an appointment. Then he will condescend you and forbid you to make the simplest of improvements to your own home you're trying to sell. Even though they are the improvements that the buyer asked you to make. They should change the name of the company to "Boardman Home Invasion" as it seems more accurate to me. Anne Is amazing though, 10 stars for Anne's Management! How doe she do it? She's basically the Michael Jordan of managers.

The Agent, Dave was early and ready to set up the test. He was very knowledgeable and thorough in his explanation of the test and the results. Although the house tested positive for Radon, it was comforting to know that something could be done about it. I feel a lot safer due to Dave's inspection and the fact that a system will be put inlace to rid my home of the dangerous gas.

Dave, the owner, is the best in the business.He is extremely thorough and identifies potential issues that most others would overlook. The extensive data from the report that is generated from the inspection speaks volumes of his extensive knowledge of homes. Dave actually saved us a few thousand dollars by properly pinpointing things in the home that had to be replaced or repaired. His fee was money well spent and was definitely worth every dollar. Dave works for you and enables you to make an informed decision on the biggest purchase in your lifetime, which is a home.

Boardman Home Inspection provides outstanding insight and advice for any household maintenance and upkeep questions.

David completed a thorough inspection of a house I wanted to purchase. He looked at every component and system from the roof to the basement & foundation both inside and out. He pointed out any areas of concern, as well as the positive aspects. His report was delivered in a timely manner, via email that same day & through the mail a few days later. I would definitely hire again.

Dave was AMAZING! He was very nice and helpful. I could tell her really cared about us, our home, and wanted our family to get the best deal for our house and more importantly that it was safe for us to live in. He was very thorough. He did a fantastic job! Money well spent.

Excellent! This is my 4th home purchase and best home inspection. Scheduling was quick and easy. Inspector was prompt, professional and personable. He explained what he was going to be doing and answered any questions we had before beginning. The thoroughness of his inspection was commendable! After inspection we were asked if we had any more questions and again they were easily answered. The inspection report came to us by email that day with detailed explanations of everything and pictures to accompany it. We also got a paper copy mailed to us within a few days. We had a few follow up questions for David that he answered. This inspection was the most thorough, detailed, and professional that we have had. Not to mention the inspector, David Shevel, was very knowledgable, friendly and welcoming to the area. We would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection. It was truly an excellent experience with a company from start to finish.

It went well

Dave is a great inspector, he's an ASHI certified inspector, carries E&O insurance, and is very passionate about his line of work. I purchased a home inspection, pest inspection, and radon testing and received electronic and hard copies of the reports within 24 hours, he even hand delivered the hard copies to my home! Dave found multiple high dollar issues with home (roof, electrical, plumbing, and high radon results), which definitely covered the cost of the inspection.

Very rude over the phone once i said i was an investor. he said "i don't work for investors" and in effect ended the conversation. extremely unprofessional and rude.

3 hours. Very detailed. Answered all questions. Knew his stuff certainly.

I called Dave on a Sunday and received an answer/schedule that same day. He was courteous, prompt, and the end report was very thorough. Dave took the time to explain the readings to me as well as discuss things I should be considering with regards to Radon in our home. Being a new, inexperienced homeowner, I appreciated him taking the time to step through everything with me and help me make good decisions for the long-term health of my home and most importantly, my family.

Great. Inspector was punctual and thorough and explained everything well. The report was also great

Dave was very pleasant to speak to on the phone and was able to schedule the appointment quickly. He met with my husband and went over everything and gave him some tips on how to remedy some of the issues. We received a very nice report the next day with all of the information and color pictures.

Dave was punctual, courteous and professional. He answered questions and provided pertinent advice about maintaining an older home [built in 1926]. His advice and observations were thorough and worded in language that a non-technical person could understand. I am glad I had the inspection done.

Dave arrived on time and checked our house top to bottom, and assured us that we didn't have a problem. Great news. He gave us plenty of good advice on how to keep our home mold free. Very very professional . I would give him a gold star referral . Rodney Lewandowski

Seemed a little gruff on the phone, but was absolutely pleasant in person. Very friednly. Allowed me to walk with him and shared knowledge and suggestions along the way. Our parents made a surprise vist and he was verry cordial and invited them along. Very pleased. We received a spiral bound printing of our detailed report that included an abundance of pictures to illustrate each part of the inspection.

David Shevel was very punctual and arrived early to my arranged appointment time. He was extremely friendly and answered every question I had as we walked through every room of the house I was purchasing. He explained areas he would suggest that we ( me and my boyfriend) might want to get serviced and/or looked at to prolong some of the older systems in the home. David was very thorough: he moved the stove to check for rodents, ran the washer machine to make sure it worked, walked around on the roof looking for soft spots, he also used his thermography tools to check out a few older water stained areas around the home for current moisture issues. We left the inspection feeling that we were purchasing a solid home and that we made a friend out of David. David stressed repeatedly to contact him if we ever had any other questions about our home or the inspection.

David Shevel is probably the best, nicest, most qualified and professional home inspector we have ever met! He arrived before us on the day of the inspection and had already begun his work. He thoroughly covered all areas of the home, from roof top to basement to all crawl spaces. Nothing was missed. He explained things to us while he worked and he encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wanted. When making a home purchase, you really want to feel comfortable that you have covered all bases, no matter the cost! He even employs the use of thermal imagery to detect things that you cannot see with the naked eye, like the water damage from some roofing leaks that he identified in this home, that we never would have been aware of otherwise! We feel that no home inspection would uncover these things without the use of an infrared camera! Very important! In the end, we were provided with a very impressive and detailed report complete with pictures and analysis of all areas of the home. He sent the report via email the very same day in a pdf file, which is so very useful because you can blow up the pictures to take a closer look at things, particularly items that are in need of maintenance or fixing. He followed this up with a hard copy which he hand delivered in person the day the radon test was complete. Even days later, he happily took our calls over the weekend and answered some additional questions we had after reviewing his report. He could have easily let the calls go to voicemail, but David is not that kind of guy! We HIGHLY recommend that you hire Boardman Home Inspection and David Shevel for your home inspection needs! Like us, you will be so glad you did! Simply the best!

Wow, what a quick turnaround by Mr. Shevel!! The WDI inspection was to be scheduled by the seller of our future home about 2 weeks prior. After I received my mortgage application documents to sign and send back to my lender (I had 2 days to do this), I was told that our application could not move forward until a copy of the WDI report was included. The inspection hadn't been scheduled yet. Yikes. The very next morning, I called Mr. Shevel to schedule an appointment - he came out, inspected and emailed me the report all within a couple of hours turnaround the same day! I have previously written another review of Mr. Shevel posted on here regarding our general home inspection and radon test. Once again, I would highly recommend David Shevel for your home inspections!

David Shevel did an outstanding inspection of our potential future home! He arrived about 30 minutes early and was already up on the roof. I was not present for the inspection, but my husband was, and he was very pleased and impressed with the time David took to explain every inch of the house, and was there for almost 4 hours. He even wore shoe covers to protect the carpeting. The inspection report was in my email inbox 4 hours later. The report was 25 pages long and very well written, with pictures and excellent explanations of all issues, including a summary at the end of the report. I am expecting the hard bound copy in my regular mail shortly. Although David is the most expensive in the area, I am a firm believer in that you get what you pay for, and he was worth every penny. David does thermal imaging also, but did not feel the need to use it in our case. I would highly recommend him.

We found David on Angie's list and hired him because he is one of the few Inspectors using thermal imaging. He was easy to contact and schedule an appointment. He was actually much more willing to come from Ohio to Butler than the other inspectors that do thermal imaging in the Pittsburgh area. The price we paid was for inspection, pest, and radon testing. David arrived early, spoke to the current homeowners to get a bit of background on the house, and we found him coming down off the roof when we arrived. David is very friendly and explained everything he was doing every step of the way. While we looked over the home, he gave a lot of good advice. He did find one water problem and a few minor repair issues. He also let us know what looked good about the house. The house we were looking at had a recently finished basement, and I had concerns about the moisture problems. It was worth every penny to get David to explain and perform the thermal imaging. It gives us some real piece of mind that there is currently no moisture behind the walls. The report David prepared was thorough, full of annotated photos for each section, and we had a soft copy of it in our email that evening. My biggest concern about buying our first house was finding a good home inspector. David was the right choice and I will use and recommend him to others in the future.

I made an offer on a home and chose this company to do the inspection by doing my own research. I had to reschedule my original appointment due to a change in my work schedule and was able to reschedule without a problem. The inspection was very informative and David was very thorough in his inspection and answered any questions we had for him. Towards the end of the inspection I decided to have a radon test conducted. He set up the testing device up before we left the home and we returned two days later to get the results, which we found the home had higher then average levels. I was pleased to receive an emailed copy of the inspection the same day the house was inspected. I received a nice copy in person on the day we got the results of the radon test. Overall, I am very glad I chose David at Boardman Home Inspection to conduct my home inspection! I would recommend this company to anybody that may need his services and I will use this company on my next home purchase.

I could not be more pleased. David arrived 30 minutes early and stayed longer than I expected.

We used Boardman Home Inspection when we moved to the area 4 years ago and were very impressed with his complete inspection, professional manner, and the time he spent with us. We are now moving about an hour away and decided to ask him to travel to the new house for an inspection. He was there 30 minutes early, spent well over 4 hours with me going through every part of the house, explaining how different systems worked and what he would do if it were his house. He emailed the report that night and hand delivered the hard copy to our house the next day. In total, BHI is worth every cent. He is giving you more than an inspection, he's giving you a practical introduction to how your future house works. If we ever move again, we'd call him up in a heartbeat.
