PS Inspection & Property Services LLC

Emmanuel is very detail oriented and his protocol is thorough and his reports detailed. He is punctual, knowledgeable, extremely professional and very friendly to talk to. He inspects everything in the property and everything that he finds is included in the report. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with his work and I heartily recommend Emmanuel for any type of inspections.

He was very thorough and knowledgeable. I appreciate how he would stop at any time and explain what we were looking at. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. I felt he was honest and did a great job! He seemed to go above and beyond the normal home inspection.

They exceeded my expectations. Emmanuel is very thorough, professional, accommodating and expert. I would highly recommend PS Inspection and Property Services.

Emmanuel provided a complete professional inspection of the home we are buying at a very reasonable cost. His inspection included much more than the required TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission) inspection points and his pricing was commensurate with a STANDARD inspection in California, where we moved from. He was professional, courteous and stopped at several times during his inspection to explain notable findings. Emmanuel arranged access to the home himself through CSS (Centralized Scheduling Service) and saved us from having to coordinate with Realtors and the seller ourselves. He was prompt and provided a detailed report (61 pages) in 24 hours with several pictures and thorough explanations of all his findings. Emmanuel commented that the home had been well cared for and overall was in good shape with only one critical electrical repair that was a and quot;must fix now itemand quot; and his report was STILL 61 pages long. When I first contacted Emmanuel he emailed me a report he had done and a comparable report from another inspector who had provided a standard, TREC items only report on the same house to give me an idea of his services and the difference was notable. I would recommend Emmanuel very highly.

I was very happy with his service. He was very thourough in his work. He had about 40 pages in his report with pictures, and links for more information. You could send him an email before during or after the inspection, and he is quick to respond and get you the information you need.

Manuel Sacallan from PS Inspection and Property Services LLC is excellent. I never met a person like him. We are going to use him for the final inspection as well. He was open to communicate and you can ask any question. He would respond to us within a day or the same day. His inspection was extremely thorough and very well documented. The inspection was not cheap. We didn't even checked on the pricing with other companies because of the work he did and what he provided, you would think would cost much more. Nobody will give you so much information before you actually hire somebody. I think his price was more than justified.

I could not have been more impressed.
The inspector arrived early and began work.
The home to be purchased has laminate floors and older but clean carpets.
The inspector brough mats and towels to set his equipment on so as to not soil or scratch the home being inspected.
Inspection was VERY detailed. This was not one of the '2 hours and done' type jobs.
Total time was about 8 hours for a 5 bed 2500+sqf home.
In the end I received a 74 page report that not only gave me what I needed to know to assess repairs needed immediately to ensure the home was safe and livable it has provided me a project list of things to follow up on over the next year to ensure the home stays in good repair.
Due to the detailed nature of the report it can be a little daunting on first glance. From a buyer perspective that's great. The report let me know what I was walking into and provided plenty of fact based arguements when negotiating for repairs prior to purchase.
I would recommend PS Inspection to any home buyer. It has saved me thousands today in up front repairs and will over the next year as I attack the list of less sever issues that were documented.

He arrived on time and tested the heating system first. Then the attic and roof were Inspected before it got too hot (temp reached 103 yesterday). I met him there in the beginning but chose not to stay. All told, he was at the property for cli see to 6 hrs I think. He called me when he was about an hour away from finishing so I could come back. He then took an hour Iraq so to show me and my agent the main findings and described the minor findings.

This is the 2nd inspection he has done for me. I cancelled my purchase of the first house based on his findings. This second house us much better. I really believe he saved me from a huge mistake on the first one!

Mr. Scanlan showed up at the crack of dawn and worked all day, producing a gorgeously detailed report that I have been in many instances able to just hand to a contractor and say and quot;Fix page 17and quot; or something like that. After a month of working on the house, I can say that he missed very few things, and in most cases erred on the side of pessimism (which is what you want in an inspector). The only thing we missed were a few termites, but finding them required ripping out the drywall and I don't think they let inspectors do that!
Mr. Scanlan also provided numerous referrals to contractors (some of which I'm using, and they're pretty good) and was available by email to very helpfully answer several questions I had about the house after the inspection.
Don't buy a house without him!

I was out of country when the inspection was being arranged. I was pleased about ease of communication with Mr. Scanlan over emails and the ease with which I was able to make the payment using PayPal and get his services confirmed for the given date. While I was getting back to my apartment from the airport on the day of inspection, Mr. Scanlan spoke to me over phone and gave me a brief overview of the observations. Later that day he followed up with a detailed report I have ever seen for a home inspection with photographs and lots of useful information. The format of the report was such that I was able to show it to the seller to request the necessary repairs.

I was under the impression that this would conclude his paid services. I had lots of questions being a first time home buyer and despite being a technical person myself, I still was not sure about many things about a 1992 home. I learnt a lot by interacting with Mr. Scanlan over emails. To my surprise he made himself available almost all the times during the week even taking phone calls from me to discuss the report from 9pm to 11pm so that I can get things done during my option period ! I really appreciate he going that far to take care of my needs. He was very frank, demonstrated a high degree of technical capability, knowledge, awareness of finer details and flexible options. He clearly advised me when the topic fell within his domain and for other things he directed me to relevant websites or manuals or where I can get help. Throughout the process Mr. Scanlan explained well and also adhered to various TREC rules and regulations as to what an inspector should and should not do.

I really liked his report format. It had lots of useful links, photographs of all appliances and their serial numbers for quick reference, a good amount of research into each appliance's make and model number, whether its still in market and what possible issues he sees with their current state. His comments were objective and easy to understand. He also gave me all the photographs about the property that showed various areas of observation or concern (without revealing anything about the current owner - he respects privacy which is excellent) so that I can retain them for my future repair planning.

Overall an excellent experience with a top class professional.

I can't enough good things about how smooth, detailed and thorough Mr. Scanlan was in regards to the home inspection. My husband and I definitely felt like he was a part of our team as we had our prospective new home inspected. The job will be done right if you hire Me. Scanlan!

I hired Mr. Scanlan to inspect a home prior to my purchasing it.

Before the inspection: Mr. Scanlan arranged the inspection to fit my schedule, explained how long it would take, and invited me to come along.

During the inspection: He layed his equipment on towels he brought with him and had an extra pair of indoor shoes and treated the home like it was his. Mr Scanlan permitted me to go about with him on the inspection stopping and explaining items as we went or when I had a question. He brought special equipment including a thermal device to detect heat sources and make sure insulation was not missed in any walls. He spent most of the afternoon working on my home and found several significant items that were helpful before closing. He has a very keen eye and saw hair line cracks on one side of the property, matched them up with one on the other side and on a hunch checked in the middle of the house and saw a cracked tile that I could barely notice that lined up with all the others.

After the inspection: Mr. Scanlan provided a report of my home promptly and I was able to use his report to have items corrected prior to purchasing the home at the expense of the builder and not to me (which more than paid for the cost of the inspection!). What impressed me was that even after having paid Mr. Scanlan and the inspection was over, he was receptive to my questions and phone calls and continued to provide assitance and advice. Having followed Mr. Scanlan on his inspection and with a copy his detailed report, I felt like I knew the home and felt more comfortable making the purchase.I forwarded his report to my real estate agent and property manger of the house I was purchasing. Everyone, including myself, were impressed with the quality and detail of Mr. Scanlan's work. I would highly recommend and would use Mr. Scanlan's services again. You are making the right choice with Mr. Scanlan as your home inspector. Buying or selling, this is the inspetor you want to evaluate your home. Hope this helps anyone else looking to have their home inspected, I was very fortunate to find Mr. Scanlan. Happy home hunting! :)
