The inspector was clueless he couldn't see the difference between frosted glass and fogged glass. I would never recommend this so called company again. The inspector was not up to code on rules in my township and said several plumbing "problems" were existing but according to the master plumber for my township it is all up to code. This inspector is not a plumber so how could he say the township was wrong? Bottom line this company is a joke.

Scott was very punctual and very thorough.  He arrived early and spent a lot of time going over each issue that he encountered.

He discovered a problem with our electrical panel, which totally amazed the electrician that we hired to come in and perform the fix.  The electrician stated that not many home inspectors ever catch this type of issue.  Same with the chimney professional, they stated that they were surprised that Scott caught our defect as well.



He checked everything as if we were the buyers so that we would know ALL issues, from the roof to the basement and the electrical and plumbing, not to mention the foundation.



Very, very thorough! 



We are going to use him again for the purchase of our new home.

Went very well. Scott also did the initial inspection, He is very thorough, knowledgeable, professional; and very easy to work with. He had time for all my stupid questions and made sure I understood what he was telling me. He was punctual and clean. (Obviously changed clothes after crawling around basement and attic crawl spaces at his prior inspection). He was able to recommend service people and tell us why he recommended them.His price was fair.
We would definitely recommend Scott. It is nice to have confidence and trust in people who have expertise that you don't have.

Scott was very professional and knowledgeable. Thank goodness my husband and I went along on the inspection because we learned a ton from him about our future house. I think if i had just seen the completed report I might have freaked out at all the and quot;problemsand quot;, but he did a very excellent job in person of helping us understand what things were actual safety hazards versus those that were minor and we could probably handle ourselves. He also showed up ten minutes early to the inspection which was great so we didn't have to wait. Additionally, I was very impressed that he agreed to fit the appointment in the day before Thanksgiving AND provide the report to us the morning of thanksgiving.
One thing that was unfortunate but that was outside of Scott's hands is the fact that he couldn't get up on the roof due to the fact that it had snowed the night before. Thankfully it was a new roof or else I would have been concerned that it didn't get inspected. I guess this is just something to keep in mind for the future if we ever buy a house again in the winter timeframe. The AC couldn't be tested as well which was another thing I was unaware of having never bought a house before (I believe it has to be above a certain temperature to run it).

Scott was excellent. We were involved in a quick moving contract during Scott's busy time. He was able to fit us in with very short notice so that we could adhere to out timeline. We were first time home buyers and Scott was able to ease our nerves. He was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He invited us walk with him and explained what he was looking for and pointed out issues and told us how we would need to fix them. He was friendly, kind and positive. He provided us with a report 24 hours after the inspection. The report had color photos of any issues. He also provided a ranking system as to how critical each fix was (whether we had to fix it immediately or if it was something that could wait a bit). We have already recommended Scott to family and friends and would absolutely hire him again!

Great!
I asked my neighbor if he knew anyone who did home inspections. He recommended Scott Kelly.
Scott is a professional who takes pride in his work.
His detailed report helped us sell the house within a week.
I would recommend Scott to anyone who wanted an honest evaluation of their home's condition.

I called and scheduled an appointment, easy as pie.
Scott arrived early to our scheduled appointment and had already done a quick overview of the property.
He then proceeded to do a very thorough inspection. He checked every window and every outlet.
He filled the tubs and ran the water.
Throughout the process he talked about all the things that he was looking for and diagnosing problems.
He also answered all my questions and even gave me tutorials on how to use everything in the house.

Scott was thorough, professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and showed up on time. The inspection report was delivered 24 hours later, as promised, and the radon results after 48 hours. Scott caught many aspects of the house that require attention, so we're going into our purchase well-informed. I've already recommended Cornerstone to a friend, and will continue to do so.

During our home search, our realtor recommended Scott to inspect the house we ultimately purchased. He was informative on the phone and willing to work around our schedule. Scott was friendly and helpful during the inspection. He offered recommendations on general improvements to make and was willing to answer all of my questions. We were very pleased with the service and felt informed about our home. I recommend Cornerstone to friends and would certainly ask Scott to inspect our next home.
