We hired Paul Davis Restoration (PDR) to complete an inspection and provide a report and quote to remedy mold and mildew conditions in the crawlspace and attic at a home we were purchasing. The purpose of the inspection was to alert the owner of the extent of the problem and to renegotiate sale terms. As with all real estate deals, we were under a time crunch to get the areas inspected and get a cost estimate developed. Justin assured me he could meet our requirements and even scheduled an inspector to inspect the house on a Saturday. So far so good. The inspector arrived at the home and completed his inspection, then told the owner of his findings. His words "No big deal" were relayed back to us by their agent.
So, the inspection was on Saturday and we were promised a report and quote on Monday so that we could complete our contract addendum for the selling agent. Monday came and late in the day we get their quote. The quote came in at nearly $10,000 which was way higher than any quotes either agent had seen (not a "big deal"???)! There was NO report, NO photos, so NO documentation as to why the cost was so high leaving us with nothing to show the owner other than their price.
I called and asked for the report with photo documentation from their inspector. I was told they were very busy and our job was NOT A PRIORITY AT THAT MOMENT! The inspector's report did finally arrive, but was emailed that following Thursday evening, too late to do us any good in our negotiation.
I had two problems with the job PDR completed. (1) They did not meet their promised deadline and only provided their deliverables after repeated badgering by me and our agent by phone, text, and email. (2) Their inspector had no business speaking with the home owner regarding his findings--he was working for us. His comments likely shaded the owner's response to our addendum, although we will never know for sure.
This should have been a quick-turnaround job for these guys. Yet, I found PDR to be difficult to work with both in their responsiveness and the quality of their deliverables. I spoke with Justin the following Monday about their poor performance. I did not pay them for the work they performed and would not recommend them.
