Home Check Inspection Service

Description of Work: I needed an inspection on a home I was looking to purchase, and ultimately did purchase, John was the first inspector to get back to me and had the lowest rate I had seen in the area. He arrived right on time, and I have to admit that is as far as the positives go for the service. As I am a first time home buyer, I was trying to go through and see things at the same time and I was under the impression that the inspector would explain things to me as they were seen. John told me "you can follow along, but keep up", did not explain a single thing he did or looked at. He was more than willing to share his opinion on how I should decorate the house and told me plenty about his personal and family life, but did not have much to say when asked about an overall opinion on the quality of the house. One of the areas of concern for the house was obvious water damage in the hall closet, and he did not even see it until he was filling out his final report and I had to show it to him. Which he then made a quick note of it on his paper, did not delve and further into the issue, and did not include it on the later emailed final report. I had mentioned a concern with the exhaust fan in the attic not functioning and he dismissed it as it was not hot enough to be running, since purchasing the home it is clear the fan will kick on to run, but the blades to not operate. Also since purchasing the home, I have come to find out almost all of the plumbing leaks, and I have spent a good deal of time and money to fix multiple plumbing issues. I understand that when purchasing a home you never know what you are going to get, and I do enjoy my new home, however I felt a more in depth inspection, as this one was only an hour long, could have given me greater knowledge going into this home purchase. I felt John was dismissive and rushed to get in and get out. While the price for service was a great price, I would absolutely not pay it again because I do not feel I got even close to my "money's worth".
