Home Inspections LLC

Hired to inspect a home I was trying to buy. Quick to respond, fair pricing, answered every question me and my SO asked about things during the inspection. Ended up backing out of that house and ended up getting under contract for another. Hired him again to inspect this house and the same thing. Would highly recommend

Excellent. I have bought more than a dozen homes in my lifetime, have dealt with inspectors for every purchase, and this has been the best experience EVER! Greg was thorough, informative, and meticulous in his work. He simply went through all the elements of the home, noted any deficiencies and if possible, what could be done to correct these deficiencies if I so decided to go that route. It was a non-judgemental process, strictly adhering to the facts. I WILL be using his services again!

Great! And in fact I used Greg 4 times (so obviously I would use him again). He's very thorough and gives a complete report quickly. And he answers questions.

Greg did a great job. His Radon report was thorough and complete. It gave hour by hour radon reading instead of one average number. This was very helpful. Greg always does a top quality job in everything he tackles. Very satisfied.

Greg was very thorough and provided some great insights into the house.

Great was very helpful. So I will know what to look for the next time.

Greg did an outstanding job. I was buying an old house and I wanted to thoroughly check it out. Greg was recommended to me by my real estate agent. Greg went through every nook and corner of the house and checked plumbing, electric, mold, floors, ceilings, walls, HVAC etc. He then went to the outside of the house and checked it out thoroughly. He then provided a very detailed and comprehensive report detailing all the pluses and minuses of the house.

Great, Greg arrived on time and I received the report the same day (except for the radon report which takes longer to process, but I'm sure it's coming.) I'd obviously use Greg again, as this was my 3rd inspection with him.

Excellent! Very thorough! I would definitely recommend!

Good. We were pleased with he inspector, his professionalism, knowledge and thoroughness.

Greg was a very pleasant and knowledgeable inspector, any questions I had he explained in depth and some instances he showed me how things operated such as an attic fan and gas fireplace , very through is the best way to describe him. I would recommend him to anyone ??????

Very well Mr.Greg was funny, out going very professional but very interactive with you.

Great thorough exam. Explained well to this newbie. I felt empowered. Great experience

Smooth as possible. He went above and beyond to help me. He answered all questions i had. His knowledge about homes is amazing. So glad he was referred to me by another happy client of his.

Home Inspections LLC handled the home inspection for a client of mine purchasing a home in Latrobe Pa. The owner, Greg Karkowsky, was very professional and knowledgeable. Worked very well with the client. Answered all questions in a detailed manner which she appreciated. I've had Greg provide home inspections for clients in the past and has always done a wonderful job!! Lisa Wagner, Keller Williams Realty

Excellent. Found undisclosed major issues

It was and always is very smooth, very thorough and informative. I am a realtor and any time that a person is buying a home it is so important to see the true bones of a house that you are investing money in. He not only has a great knowledge of what and how to look for problematic issues in a home but follows it up with a very detailed and yet simplified, easy to read report explaining any and all details. Even the items that may not be problematic per say but may be something you need to keep an eye on. This is broken down into, needs repair, safety hazard, keep and eye on it, etc... This is important when asking a seller to fix any larger, deal breaker items, verses what you just need to be aware of. At the home inspection itself Greg does an excellent job at pointing out the main issues of a home and not highlighting items of little or no concern although he puts it all in the report for you to have all information. And if you ask questions he will answer them, even how or what he thinks you should do. It wasn't his "Job" per say to get the gas fireplace working in our inspection but he took the time to do it for us anyway. It was something we weren't necessarily concerned about but he showed us how to work it and what to do. This in other words is going above and beyond for his clients. This is a standard that we carry in our business and that's why I will always recommend that home buyers use Greg Karkowsky for their home inspections. Great Job Always, Thanks Greg for all that you do and for doing it with excellence!

My fiance and I have been at this home buying thing for a few months and we've had three home inspections (all performed by Greg and Home Inspections, LLC). Our realtor recommended him, having used his services in the past with other clients.
Our experience in all three inspections could not have been better. Knowing that I'm going to write a long review, I'm going to stop here for any women reading this and insert a small aside ...
I was impressed at how I was treated. I've heard nightmare stories about house inspectors talking down to women, treating them like they have no idea what is being said and basically shoving their questions to the side. There was absolutely none of that with Greg. He is respectful of his clients -- whether they are male or female -- and a really nice guy in addition to being a top-notch home inspector. 
We had a string of bad luck, unfortunately, and two of our houses were completely infested (and severely damaged) by termites. Fortunately, however, Greg was honest with his assessment of the situation, giving some possible scenarios and what it may cost to fix the damage.
Greg also went into great detail to show us what termites look like (the tunnels, feces, etc.) and what the wood would look and feel like if there is damage. He did this during the first inspection, but we loved the 2nd house so much that we forgot to employ the knowledge he gave us and made an offer.
When we met for the inspection of the 2nd house, he thoroughly inspected the outside and headed into the basement next. As soon as he found the damage and we realized the extent (the entire first floor of the house, including joists, and still active bugs) he asked me if we should even continue the inspection. Knowing that  there was no way we were going to buy the house, we called it off, saving both of us hours of unnecessarily wasted time. 
Luckily on our most recent inspection -- three's a charm, they say -- there were very minor issues with the property. Basically from top to bottom of the house, there were minor repairs needed and for each one he went into great detail about what may be cause and what might be needed to fix it. He even climbed out of a window on the 2nd floor to get a better look at something outside of the bathroom when he saw something that he wanted more details about so he could better explain to me what was going on with the issue. 
I feel like we had a great experience for being first-time home buyers with Greg and I highly recommend him. He's thorough but realistic -- you're not going to want to cry over every little thing that he finds, because he takes the time to tell you about the issue and the repairs you may have to do.
