I was so impressed with their thoroughness. They event had video links in the online report to show me what they found under the house, including the moisture content test in real time.WOW!!! I would have paid twice what it cost, to have the peace of mind I have now.
They even went back and re-inspected the items we had the sellers fix so I know the repairs were done and done right. Great job guys THANK-YOU!
"It's funny you mention paying twice what it cost for an inspection. If I had a dollar for every customer that said that, I could retire. Before the inspection most people are concerned about the price, Post inspection they are shocked about the value of our thorough and detailed inspection and what it really could have cost without one. Now if I could just find a way to double the price and still get people to call us....:) Thank you for your faith and trust in our company and thanks for this nice review. Wishing you the very best in your home."
"Reuben is extremely conscientious and knowledgeable. Even in that condo where everything seemed OK, one small thing can make a huge difference. The smallest hole can sink a ship. Thanks for your great review and for your business. Wishing you only the best."
This is the third house that Dan has inspected for our family and I trust him and his crew to give me a honest assessment of the house that we are considering for purchase. I would use and recommend Final Analysis again. They are super nice too!
"We are so grateful that you have hired us several times over the years. That in and of itself is a compliment but I also like that you said we are nice. Kindness and honesty is our personalities, excellence and training is our commitment to protecting out clients. Thanks for your continued trust and for this wonderful review."
"It's all about precise, detailed, purposeful scrutiny of a home and it's systems that will illuminate it's conditions and defects. We also report safety issues that can cause damage, harm or injury because we don't want anyone to get hurt. Garage doors are guilty of many deaths and property damage. We take them for granted but they are a heavy, complicated and potentially volatile piece of equipment. Thanks for your wonderful review. Wishing you all the best."
"I love that you said we are punctual and professional because we strive to be on time and treat everyone with kindness and respect. You place your trust in our hands so you deserve the best. thanks for this very positive review."
They gave amazing feedback on the spot, and they sent the very-detailed inspection report within 2 hours.
I would recommend them to anyone, and will only use them in the future.
"A huge part of a home inspectors job is to sort out all the findings and present them in a comprehensive manner so you know exactly what you're getting. That's why you hire an expert, someone you can rely upon to give you straight advice. The companies that treat clients unintelligent are just showing their own ignorance. Thank you for the trust and confidence you placed in our company and thank you for your wonderful feedback here on Angie's List. Your opinion is important to us. Wishing you all the best!"
"holy mackerel !! This review is amazing. You really reinforce our company values with your reflection on the details of your experience. You hit on all the bases...It's nice to know clients are watching and taking notice of what we do and how we do it. Inspecting a home for a client is not a "passing fancy", it's up close and personal and must be in order to coax out the silent edifices of any hidden secrets. Just like that tiny little oil tank vent that was barely noticeable. A passing glance would have missed what could have been a big expense on you. A house will tell on itself, if you take the time to get to know it. Thanks a million!! wishing you all the very best."
"I can see by your review that you were really paying attention during the inspection. It is so important for the client to interact during the inspection and act on any significant findings. It's our objective to team up with you and make help you be informed, empowered and protected. Thanks so much for your wonderful review. It's as detailed as us. Wishing all the very best!"
"It's true about some agents being nervous because they are afraid our discoveries and disclosures may upset the closing which is their payday. But the successful agents want a great inspection for their buyers and they'll get call back again and again too. We are grateful that you continue to use our company year after year and it means a lot that you would share your experiences here on Angieslist. Wishing you all the best."
"You are so right! If we put it in "red" it's not lipstick. It's a flagged defect and should be addressed. Unfortunately there are no minimum standards of inspection in our industry so it's good you did your "home work" (haha..sorry) and found someone who truly has the clients best interest at heart. It's the least we can do after you placed your trust in our hands. Thank you so much."
"Thank you for your wonderful assessment of our services. Your feedback is invaluable and much appreciated. Best wishes"
The appointment was easy to set up online and nice reminders were given closer to the inspection date.
Dan and his team arrived on time and went straight to work. There were 3 inspectors that covered every inch of our new 5,000 sq ft home.
After the inspection Dan walked me through the home and gave me a briefing on any items he thought he should bring to my attention. We then met as a group with his 2 other inspectors and my realtor and went through any other details in as much or as little detail as I wanted. I didn't feel rushed at all and all 3 inspectors were very comfortable with providing their honest and independent feedback on the home.
Dan reinforced a couple of times he'd be available for any follow up questions we had once we had read through their very well documented inspections reports. They emailed me the inspection reports that very same evening.
I was very pleased with the work performed by this company and would highly recommend them to anyone buying a new home in this area. Thanks Dan and team for your great work!
"Thank you for your kind and detailed assessment of our company and our inspection process. You are a valued client and your feedback means a lot in terms of keeping us on the right tract. :) So happy we met your expectations. Wishing you the very best in your new home."
"Thank you for the complete and total trust you have placed in us. We believe that a client should not have to worry about anything once they decide to hire us. The inspection is a huge thing. It's our job to put that house under a microscope. Good, Bad, Ugly..customer needs to know the truth. Thanks for your wonderful feed back. It is valued and appreciated!"
"Thank you for doing deep research before choosing your inspection company. We are honored to be your choice. I think everyone should "inspect the inspector" and put that candidate under the same scrutiny that is expected at the home inspection. If they are going to take your money, they have a responsibility to protect you during the inspection. Thanks for your review. Your feed back as a valued customer is important to us. Best wishes always."
"Yaaayy..you voted us on the "page of happiness" which make me happy. We are so glad you found our service helpful, so much so that you used us twice. We really appreciate that and are grateful for the confidence you have in us and the trust you have placed in our hands regarding your family's home."
inspection service I have ever encountered.
Their easy to follow reports provided objective observations on every
aspect and system of our home. They
educate / support during and well after their inspection; always available for
follow up discussions as questions come up.
Use Dan and his team if you want it done right at a good price.
"We always remain available for continued support of our clients. We've even helped the customers of other inspection companies who ended up having [Member Name Removed] less than satisfactory experience. WE DON'T CHARGE for phone calls and advice. It benefits us to stay in touch with our customers so we welcome it. It's just one of the many things we do that sets us apart from the rest. Thanks for your wonderful review. Wishing you all the best."
"Thanks for your stellar review of our services. We too are happy your chose us and we are even happier that you are so pleased with the results of our inspection. If you ever have any questions about your house, we are always available to you. Wishing you all the best!"
This was a short notice inspection request for a new home I just had built and I was very pleased how they were able to get me scheduled within a few days from me making contact. Final Analysis Home Inspections showed up right on time.
After introductions and a little discussion of game plan with Dan, Adam and Chris, they got started with their thorough inspections of house construction to include everything from rooftop to soil condition of crawlspace and around the house for drainage. Examples of systems inspections included electrical, HVAC, plumbing and installed appliances to include hot water heater, gas stovetop, and gas fireplace. Come to find out I had a continuous small leak of propane in my fireplace!!!
I would say the inspection time took around 2 to 3 hours to complete and was very educational for me as well. That evening I was able to view, email, save and print an electronic report which included pictures and videos. This report is extremely in depth to include all items checked. What I liked most was all discrepancies were accompanied by pictures and videos when needed.
Dan, Adam, and Chris were extremely qualified, professional and knowledgeable. I most strongly recommend Final Analysis Home Inspections to perform their inspections for anyone contemplating buying a house or business. There qualifications accompanied with such a detailed report only makes since for anyone making such a large investment.
There may be others out there you can get for less money but I feel confident I would not have gotten such a thorough inspection and detailed report."Thank you for your amazingly detailed and precise review. It is quite on honor that you selected our company to inspect your beautiful custom home with all it's complexities. As you know, even new homes can have issues. That's become somewhat normal to expect these days and as such a good inspection has become an integral part of the process...even on real nice custom new construction. I wish you all the best as you continue forward working with your builder on getting some of those issues corrected."
"Thanks for your adding your wonderfully positive review here. Sorry it didn't work out on the first house but at least you protected yourself with a home inspection. I wish you the very best as you proceed on the second home. Thank you for trusting us with your business. It means a lot and is much appreciated."
Throughout the process of selling my old home and the construction/purchase of my new home, I dealt with numerous contractors for various service items and repairs - none of them came anywhere close to providing the level of expertise and customer service provided by Final Analysis. I was able to get an appointment scheduled on the exact date at the exact time I wanted and the team showed up promptly and got right to work. Adam Comeau and his team were knowledgeable and friendly and conducted a thorough inspection of my home from top to bottom that included the roof, the attic, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc - essentially the entire the interior and exterior of the home and all installed systems with the exception of the well and septic system. During the inspection they took photos and walked me through the various discrepancies they found and also provided tips on simple home improvements I could do myself to make my home more comfortable. Later that SAME DAY I received a detailed report explaining all the items that were inspected as well the discrepancies along with photos of what was wrong and how it should be fixed. For example, the drain line on my air conditioner evaporator coil is installed incorrectly - Final Analysis provided a photo both of how it is configured now (incorrectly) along with a diagram of what it should look like when it's fixed. That way when the warranty company comes out to do the repairs I can verify they were done correctly. Additionally, they pointed out that the AC condenser is undersized relative to the size of the house and the evaporator coil - which explains why my condenser ran near continuously throughout the summer! They provided me with the relevant building code and an explanation on how the system should be configured to get it fixed. Overall I was able to easily translate their report into warranty work requests with my homebuilder.
Initially I questioned whether or not a home inspection on a brand new home was required, but I am so supremely thankful I called Final Analysis. In addition to the HVAC problems mentioned above they also found several problems with my plumbing that were not up to code and never should have passed inspection in the first place. Final Analysis was 100% worth it and I would undoubtedly recommend them to anyone needing a home inspection.
"Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review of our services. Adam Comeau is one of the best inspectors in southeast Virginia and we are soooo fortunate to have him in our employ. He is highly competent and detailed to a fault and always has the customers best interest in mind. Even new construction can have significant issues that municipal code inspections don't cover such as your HVAC defects. A professional and detailed inspection report will give you leverage when negotiating repairs with the builder. A good inspection is expensive but as you mentioned, can pay for itself ten-fold. We are glad your found our services to your advantage. Wishing you all the very best in your new home."
""Very professional, competent, and reliable company" Those 3 little words are a gigantic compliment of our services. We strive for that everyday and it's so good to hear it from a discerning customer. Thank for taking time offer your feedback. It's much appreciated."
"Thank you for your wonderful review. The fact that you have used us several times over the years and that you have recommended us to friends and family speaks volumes in and of itself. Coming from a building engineer like you makes it all the more sweet. Thank you kindly."
Regards,
Elaine-Jane Mitchell & Matthew Land
"Thanks so much for letting us know how we did. I'm so glad your inspection gave you the leverage to negotiate repairs with the seller. A thorough, comprehensive report is a powerful tool. Wishing you the very best!"
A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO DAN AND HIS VERY PROFESSIONAL TEAM!!
"Wow! that's amazing. Even with the seller not wanting to fix anything you still saved almost $2500. I love that the agents think our reports are "over the top". That's a good thing for our customers because you can't be too thorough on an inspection. That's absurd. A good example is the termite damage that we found on your home after it was cleared by the sellers termite inspector. The advantage of our company is we do not have a horse in the race. We only want our client to have pure, factual, empowering information. We don't rely on agents for work and cetainly would never soften a report for the agent. We also don't sell termite contracts or treatment so there's no conflick of interest there either. Any professional that's supposed to be representing the buyer should be ashamed of themsleves if they put their personal interest over the buyer's and that goes for home inspectors, termite contractors and real estate agents. After all, they're all getting paid by the buyer at the closing. Good for you for looking out for your own best interest. We are right there with you on that. Thanks for the amazing review and we wish you the very best!"
They conducted a through inspection and provided a very detailed report with pictures. They included standard guidelines and website links as additional information. I received the reports the same night of the inspection (after making payment online).
