The report he produced for the house was great, with plenty of pictures indicating the specific problem areas, and good explanatory text. Unfortunately, he missed a couple of major issues. The basement wall has a diagonal crack through it, which was not mentioned in the report. When I contacted him to ask him about it, he sent an extremely brief reply, saying it wasn't a problem and could be fixed but not necessary. I replied to clarify, asking if he had noticed it or not during the inspection. He dodged the question, only saying it was mentioned in the report, but it wasn't. There was only a very generic disclaimer saying that hairline cracks that don't affect the structural integrity wouldn't be mentioned. This crack is 1/4"+, definitely not a hairline crack. The first reaction of one contractor who saw it was "WHOA!" I certainly would have liked it mentioned. Additionally, there is a subterranean termite infestation which he apparently missed. It appears they are gaining access through the unmentioned foundation crack. We are now looking at having to tear out all the finished basement walls, repair/seal the foundation, and spend thousands on a whole-house poisonous termite treatment right as we're expecting a baby. I understand it's impossible to have a 100% accurate home inspection, and Tom seems like a great guy, but the purpose of hiring a home inspector is to make an informed buying decision, and in this case, I don't feel I was equipped with all the necessary information to do that.

Tom recommended that he provide a heater from a plumbing supply house rather than a home improvement center because of better quality and I agreed. Tom arrived promptly on Monday morning with his son and installed the new heater in about 3 hours. He replaced some of the plumbing that was done poorly, and also rerouted a drain line through a wall to the outside of my house. He explained how and when to drain the heater to prevent sediment buildup. Tom's workmanship was clearly superior to the plumber's who installed the heater six years ago. This "affordable" provider also charged $300 more than Tom. I will call Tom for all future plumbing work and recommend him to anyone I know who needs a plumber.

He and his workman worked all day long building the retaining wall. As it was progressing, I asked for a small change in the shape, and they accommodated this readily. I think they came back a day or two later to finish things up. I paid extra to have them backfill the top of the wall with extra dirt to make room for a planting bed; he recommended a dirt with more sand in it to help with drainage, and I deferred to his experience. However, it appears to me he used only sand, and didn't backfill nearly the whole area I had in mind. Perhaps this was a communication breakdown, but it's not what I wanted, and I'm going to have to do some work to make it look better and get it ready for planting. The overall quality of the wall is decent. It's straight and feels like it'll hold up for a number of years, but the top finish rocks seemed haphazardly placed, and I spend an hour or two afterward rearranging the top row to make it look more finished. We have other rock walls done on our property that cost a good deal more, and look a lot better, but this wall is mostly utilitarian and suits our needs adequately.

"I recently hired Pacific Construction Company for a major remodel, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and delivered on time. They replaced all of the windows and doors in my home, and the quality of the materials is outstanding. Not only do the new windows look fantastic, but they’ve also made a noticeable difference in energy efficiency, helping to keep the house more comfortable year-round. The new doors have added a fresh, modern look to the interior and exterior, and I’ve received numerous compliments from visitors. The siding was also completely redone, and the transformation is remarkable. The crew was meticulous with their work, paying attention to even the smallest details. The house now looks modern and fresh, and I’m confident that it will hold up for many years to come. Perhaps the most impressive part of the remodel was the work done on my two bathrooms. The team completely gutted and redesigned both spaces. The finished bathrooms are beautiful, with high-end fixtures, elegant tile work, and a level of craftsmanship that exceeded my expectations. They also managed to maximize the space in both rooms, making them feel larger and more functional without compromising on style. Throughout the project, communication was excellent. I was kept informed at every stage, and the team was always available to answer any questions. They were punctual, respectful of my home, and made sure the job site was always clean and safe. I highly recommend Pacific Construction Company for any home remodeling needs. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality work made this a fantastic experience, and I’m thrilled with the results!"

Rising S Bunkers offers the best underground steel shelters, bomb shelters, safe rooms & blast doors on the market. We lead the industry in quality and we have the highest standards for craftsmanship in underground bunkers and other emergency shelters. The Rising S standard of quality is unmatched by any other bunker company on the market today. Additionally, every project is completely customizable. Many customization's are available at no additional cost.
"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space.
Newly poured concrete is prone to small, fine cracks within the first 30 days of installation, but most noticeable cracks will disappear within that time frame. If a crack is greater than 1 inch, consider contacting the person who installed your wall to inspect the job.
If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage.
Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.
