QUALITY HOME INSPECTIONS

I was able to get a convenient appointment time for the inspection. The inspector Randy showed up at my house on time. He had a very friendly personality, he was thorough and accurate in inspecting my entire house, and he did not mind my husband and I following him around and asking questions. Hours later, Randy emailed us a PDF of the inspection report, which we then used to negotiate repairs with the sellers of the house.

The review was though. Anything that could be reached, or seen was checked. Recommendations for repair and approximate life left, were made and so far accurate.

Randy was great. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a home inspected. I was on time for the inspection, but Randy was there 10 minutes earlier and had already inspected the roof. He was thorough and explained everything as we went along. He also gave tips and recommendations as we went through the house. He used his smart phone to take pictures and voice memos for his report. A PDF was emailed to me an hour after the inspection. The report included everything that was discussed during the inspection with photos. He also mentioned that he would be available to contact if there were additional questions.

Randy showed up early and did not try to rush through it. He encouraged us to ask many questions and made sure we understood everything he was go over. It ended up being more than just an inspection as it was really a crash course for new homeowners on the maintenance and upkeep of homes. He provided us with the report the same day, except for the radon results as those take at least 48 hours to complete. The report was very thorough and even included pictures with recommendations of what to get fixed/repaired immediately as to those that can wait.

Randy from Quality Home Inspections was great. My fiance and I are first time home buyers, so we were very naive as to the process of inspections. I arrived 5 minutes early and Randy was already there, setting up for the inspection. He was extremely thorough and explained everything to me in detail. Afterwards, we received a very detailed list of the findings, put in order by severity of problem. I highly recommend using Quality Home Inspections!

Randy did a great job and it was a pleasure working with him. He was very detailed and patient with us as we had many questions/concerns buying a 100-yr old house. The home inspection report was very thorough and laid out in an easy to understand manner. Inspection included home inspection, radon and insect and was well worth the money as we were able too leverage the report to negotiate additional savings on the home sales price. Will definitely work with Randy again if we buy another house in the Pittsburgh area.

Randy was absolutely excellent. This was our first home and I know nothing about houses. He walked me through and just taught me a ton, while checking everything. He just so clearly knows houses top to bottom and was super professional. He was super nice, it was like having a caring uncle who knows a ton about houses teaching you what's what.

He arrived early, did not seem at all in any hurry to leave despite me having a ton of questions. I even asked him after the inspection for some recommendations of contractors to use for various services and he was happy to give me some names.

Quality Home Inspections also had some very nice electronic communication (appointment confirmation, invoice, etc.) and I was able to pay ahead of time via his website. Made it very easy.

Absolutely recommended this company.

The price was actually $325 for the inspection, $125 for the radon which he did himself, and $60 for the wood-destroying pests which he sub-contracted through a pest company (who came while he was there and did a good job as well).

It went well and the whatever Randy suggested to us, we followed up to it and everything went great!

Randy is the best, we are first time home buyers and he went over everything, made it easy to understand.

Randy was excellent! He explained everything to me step by step and kept me involved in the process. He was very thorough and gave a lot of good tips. He was also extremely personable, professional, and kind. I feel like I am a lot more ready to discuss things that need fixed with the house seller. I would recommend Randy Payne to anyone who needs a house inspected.

He was great. Explained everything he found, why it mattered, the significance, and the ease or difficulty of repairing if necessary. Very pleasant, organized, fast, and patient through all my questions.

Randy and his wife Kim are excellent. Our appointment was at 0900, and when we arrived at approximately 0850, Randy was already at the home with his ladder out and checking the exterior of the house. Randy informed us during every step of the way describing in detail every inch of the house and allowing us adequate time in each section of the house for any questions. Randy was very thorough, taking pictures, documenting every aspect of each room/area of the house. Randy provided us with detailed explanations of his service, items to look for and ways to improve the house. Through his insepction we were able to determine the actualy value and condition of the home. Not only that but he may eventually save us thousands of dollars if we end up purchasing this home. I also asked Randy about possible renovations to the property and he was able to give his insight and provide us with his professional opinion. I would recommend Randy to any potential home buyer.

Randy is earnest and trustworthy. He was recommended by my agent and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

He was very very honest. I am very thankful that I hired Randy Payne to do this. He was phenomenal. He gave me all the good points and the bad points. I would give him an A+ rating. He was very thorough. He spent a lot of time with me going over all aspects of the house. I would highly recommend him to anyone for home inspections.

My husband and I are in the process of purchasing our first home and Randy did our home inspection and radon test yesterday. He was incredibly thorough and he encouraged us to ask questions all along the way and explained issues in a way that made sense to people who have never tried to maintain a home before. He arrived about 5 minutes early and we spent about three hours inspecting the house. He made sure to point out all issues, minor or major, and elaborate on issues that might need more prompt attention than others. He even used anecdotes along the way to explain how things have gone wrong for others. He took notes electronically which allowed him to have the completed home inspection to us, via email, less than an hour after the inspection. All in all, we were very impressed with Randy and would recommend him to anyone.

Randy showed up on time and got started right away. His work was professional, careful, and thorough. He explained everything he found in detail without being demeaning. He returned my phone inquiry within few hours and was able to schedule an appointment quickly. We all liked Randy and felt good about the information that he provided to us.

Randy was able to schedule an inspection the same week (which was important to me). He showed up a couple minutes early so started looking around until I got there. He walked me through the house, explained what he was looking for and explained everything he found. I got his written report the same day and am able to use it a "To Do" list for things I'll want to handle and maintain while I own this house. He made sure I understood which things were important and which were little things to take care of when I wanted. And he was available later to answer a couple questions I had about the report.

I love this company! I first used them on a home I had an offer in on. Randy went over every square inch of the place, from the furnace to the refrigerator seals. He flushes every toilet, turns on every faucet, opens every window, door and cupboard. Very hands-on inspector. He has all sorts of gadgets to test things, like gas leaks, etc. Randy makes sure you are right there with him as he points out every little thing, and he tells you exactly what you would need to do to fix it. During the whole inspection he explains things in a way you can understand. I ended up not getting the house due to a foundation issue. When I found my current house, Randy inspected it, but he also gave me a discount since the other house didn't work out. The book you get is great and details what needs fixing. I have a good starting point as to what I need to fix on my house over time. He was helpful well after the purchase to clarify things when I started to tackle some of the work he said that should be do

Excellent, incredibly thorough! Randy Payne didn't miss a crack, a drop of water, anything. I was very impressed with his professionalism and thoroughness.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IVE USED QUALITY HOME INSPECTIONS AND THEY ARE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN OTHER INSPECTORS IVE WORKED WITH. COMPARED WITH OTHER HOME INSPECTORS, THESE GUYS WERE INCREDIBLY THOROUGH. AS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT PARTICULARLY ADEPT AT HOME MAINTENANCE, THE HOMEBOOK INSPECTION REPORT BINDER IS INVALUABLE. NOT ONLY DOES IT ASSESS THE STATUS OF ALL THE CURRENT SYSTEMS AND AREAS OF THE HOME (INCLUDING HEATING, AC, PLUMBING, ELECTRIC, STRUCTURE, BASEMENT, KITCHEN, INTERIOR, EXTERIOR, ETC.), BUT IT OFFERS A WEALTH OF CROSS-REFERENCE INFORMATION AS FAR AS REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. MY HOUSE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE WHEN I BOUGHT IT - THE BINDER (WHICH THE INSPECTION TEAM FILLED IN DURING THE INSPECTION) ENSURES THAT ILL BE ABLE TO KEEP IT IN GOOD SHAPE. ALSO, THE INSPECTORS WERE VERY CONSCIENTIOUS OF THE HOUSE - REMOVING SHOES BEFORE WALKING ON THE CARPET, PUTTING THINGS BACK THAT HAD TO BE MOVED, ETC. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
