Tri State Property Inspections

I met with the agent after the inspection was complete. He walked me through the results explaining in depth (and in layman terms) anything that needed attention and items that he felt were exceptional. He went as far to tell me it might be a good idea to remove the diving board in the pool area because 90% of all pool injuries are a result of diving boards and/or slides and that it may result in higher insurance costs. He also explained a lot about septic systems and swimming pools that I wasn't aware of. The previous owner had an inspector come in before listing the home and fixed everything on his list. Most items my inspector found were minor and inexpensive to fix. Finding the failed connection to a bathroom drain really impressed me. The drain worked properly unless a large amount of water flowed trough it (emptying the tub). I feel he went over and above his duties and would recommend this company to anyone needing inspection services.

Very good we use them for all our home inspection. Great job.

Great company, we are so happy. My boyfriend went to the inspection and was there for hours with Dan going over every nook and cranny of the house. He educated us about the home and made several recommendations for how to address issues. Will recommend this company over and over and over again!

Dan from Tri-state inspected our home and was extremely thorough and professional throughout the experience. My wife and I feel he went above and beyond to find any potential hazards and answer all of our questions. This was our first time buying a home, and once he realized that he shared many useful tips and anecdotes about the process and what to watch out for. He also gave us his personal contact and said to reach out to him with any future questions we may have as homeowners. We could not be happier with the overall experience of using this company and will recommend them to any friends in the area that need this service.

Prompt and thorough

Inspection was carried out in great detail and all was explained very well

Overall it was a fantastic and highly educational process. Having a inspection report with such detailed information will greatly assist us in making the repairs needed and insuring our home is in it's best possible condition. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a home inspection! A+

Wow! Dan was so knowledgeable and personable and thorough! Walking around with him was an excellent education about our soon-to-be new home. He gave many ideas on the best ways to carry out various upgrades, like how to refinish our hardwood floors or how to cut out a cabinet to make room for a bigger fridge and leave the cabinetry looking finished and untouched. He also pointed out many issues large and small--like a ceiling fan that was improperly wired and could be a fire hazard--and how to fix different problems, little things like faulty kitchen drawer hardware and big things like re-grading areas around the house and re-directing water from gutters to maintain the foundation's integrity. He even squeezed into two very hard-to-access attic spaces. Did we say "thorough?" He spent every bit of 3 1/2 to 4 hours with us. We left feeling like we had a game plan for what to tackle first in our new home, and that his fee was money well-spent. He also recommended various resources for different services and places to save money on home goods, which is helpful for non-natives like us. The next business day, we received an extraordinary and easy-to-read report with pictures of everything that we talked about, so we won't forget anything. This is a foreclosure, so potentially scary, a lot of unknowns. But we really felt like we could trust his knowledge, experience, and integrity. He loves his work and helping people and it SHOWS! He helped to give us peace of mind about our pending 1st-time home purchase and Dan was definitely "worth his salt" and certainly the service he provides is well worth the fees he asks. We highly recommend Tri-State Property Inspections.

Went well. Let me walk through with him and showed me some things wrong with the property. He did miss a rotten floor joist that was sagging.

Mike was thorough and professional. He answered questions patiently and gamely traipsed around various areas of the building from the roof to the basement. I would definitely have no reservations about hiring this company again.

Inspector was very through during his inspection. He gave us insight on what we could do to make improvements. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. We was explained in ways we could understand. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone.  

They did a very good detailed inspection on a new home, they guided me through all the goods and bads and did a very good explanation, very professional and very friendly.

Dan was very thorough in his inspection.  He took the time to explain any problems that he found.  My wife and I asked numerous questions and Dan took the time to answer all our questions.  He spent approximately 3 hours going through the house and grounds and walked us through his inspection. 

Dan is a very personable man and easy to talk with and he makes you feel comfortable throughout the process.

I highly recommend Tri State Property Inspection and would use them again if the need arose.

From the start, communication was timely and professional. I went with Dan as he inspected the house - the crawl space, the general outside condition, the washer/dryer, hot water heater, windows, HVAC units, wood burning stove, septic system, power outlets, insulation, the gas line, plumbing, etc. and he explained what he was looking for and testing as he went. I had a few questions and he answered them all, even making recommendations for what I could do with X after the closing. He found some things that I didn't know needed to be done (grounding a propane line, for example) and this was a big safety issue.
I really felt that he left no stone unturned and treated this as if he was inspecting his own home. He didn't rush anything and was more thorough than what I'm used to (this was my 3rd house). If you're looking for someone who knows their stuff and will explain what they're doing and why X is important, you've found him. I highly recommend Dan at Tri-State, and if I ever need to buy another home in the area (I hope I don't, but you never know), I would definitely call them again.

He completed a thorough inspection of the home my husband and I are in the process of buying. He went room to room checking everything and explaining everything. He also checked the outside and underneath the house taking pictures. After the inspection he sent a full detailed report with the pictures of his recommendations.

Dan went from crawl space to attic and noted every detail of any problem....I am going to buy this home and wanted to know of any problem...I met Dan immediately after the inspection, he told me of the problems, answered my questions and I was emailed a detailed report with pictures and an explaination for every problem, very impressive....

Dan Lindeman is outstanding. He is very thorough and detail orineted. He took the time to answer tons of questions about the house that we are buying. The agent called on 12/13 needing the inspection done very quickly. Dan agreed to do the inspection on 12/14. He was on time (early) and is an expert in his trade. He seems very well trained. I would and will only recommend him for house inspections.

He was very punctual. He began in the house and inspected every room and components in that room. He gave in his report a condition statement of ever item, including those that were in good shape and those that were defective. He then went in the garage and inspected it in a like manner. He not only looked at things that were openly visible but things that were not. he tested every system including lights, HVAC, windows and the garage opener. He looked under the house and on the house. he was most thorough. He was very friendly and trustworthy. You felt that you wee not only with a home Inspector but also a friend whose goal was to help you, not just doing a job. I highly recommend him.

Dan arrived at the time he said he would arrive, he was courteous, friendly and professional. He allowed us to walk through with him and he pointed out the things he found that needed out attention or things that needed to be repaired. He seemed to be very knowledgeable. We also liked the fact that he was a minister, which was just an other benefit. We would definitely use him again if ever needed and would definitely refer him to others.

Mr. Lindeman arrived promptly at the appointed time. He performed an inspection of the property room by room noting conditions which include but are not limited to,  the condition and performance of electrical outlets, plumbing, placement and condition of any gas appliances/units, and other electrical appliances, working condition of furnace/hot water heater, tub/toilet/sink output and functions, general conditions of interior and exterior of home, interior/exterior lighting, window function in all rooms, structural integrity of decking, stairwells, and structural conditions of roof.
Mr. Lindeman was very patient, answered all of our questions, and gave good advice pertaining to improvements we wanted to make to the property. He spent a great deal of time (at least 4 hours at the property while we were there) in assessing the property. We are confident that Mr. Lindeman's report reflects the true condition of the property aforementioned.

It went very well. He took his time and was extremely thorough. He made lots of recommendations and even explained how things worked. I was very impressed with his knowledge and his work.

Dan was professional and very thorough in his inspection. An added bonus was his congenial nature and willingness to answer all of my many questions. The house inspection was actually an enjoyable experience and provided me with the piece of mind that the home I wanted to purchase was in good condition.
