Everything was a seamless process - from scheduling to the inspection to the quick report delivery and follow-up questions from us. John is an excellent inspector who is dedicated to his craft. He was very thorough in the inspection and delivered our 115 page report detailing all the ins and outs of the home less than a day after the inspection. He also did a great job of making sure we understood everything and the key priorities, so we didn't get overwhelmed by all the details. We were nervous about the home inspection but working with John gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that we were able to vet our home properly by a detailed-oriented and unbiased inspector! Would definitely recommend.

Phil was a great inspector from start to finish. The first time I called him he asked for a bunch…read moreof details about the house and immediately started walking us through what he will be taking a look at given the age of the house. He walked us through all of the services he provides and the cost and answered all of our questions in detail. Other inspectors gave very brief descriptions of services provided, so we felt more comfortable going with Phil. We had the general inspection, wood destroying insect, radon, sewer camera, and oil tank sweep all done through Phil. On the day of the inspection, we were half an hour early but Phil was already there looking at the exterior of the house. He explained his process and invited us to shadow him and ask questions about anything we didn't understand. He was very detailed in his inspection, and took the time to explain to us any issues that needed immediate attention. The inspection lasted almost 4 hours, which I guess is uncommon because both real estate agents thought it would only take 2 hours. We closed on the house last week and have used the report a number of times when hiring contractors. Phil pointed out some structural issues in the basement which we are now getting fixed, and are slowly working through the rest of the items in his report. His detailed report makes it easy for us to send to other contractors so they know the scope of the issue. We would highly recommend Phil for any first time homebuyer with lots of questions about their new house!

We booked online and Phil responded and confirmed our appointment within hours. The inspection was…read morethorough and we felt it was one of the best pre-purchase inspections we have had done. Phil was great to work with, answered all of our questions in depth and recommended a couple of additional questions we would have missed without his expertise. I could not recommend Veriguard any higher.

I've had 5 home inspected in my life; Clever Inspections in by far the most thorough I've ever had…read more Our inspector was Andrew, he showed up on time and spent about two hours inspecting our two BR two Bath home from top to bottom,inside an out - roof to crawls space. He then went over the key points with us and provided a detailed 95 page report with pictures and description of each and every issue, as well as a separate short 7 page summary report. I would recommend Clever Inspections to my relatives and best friends. I am sure you will be satisfied with the service. I compared prices with three other providers and Clever Inspections, though not the lowest, provided the most thorough estimate and they more than lived up to their promise. A few of the many photos provided are attached.

Service Requested & Quality (5/5): Andrew was absolutely amazing in his work. We were buying a…read morecondo and he was extremely thorough in his work. He came on time, communicated clearly, checked everything in the unit very carefully, and delivered us a high quality report with not only a list of any things he found but also recommendations on how to maintain or fix findings. He also helped accommodate requests for what to look for too. On top of this, once we moved in to the unit we had some questions about his findings and tips for fixing some home issues and he thoughtfully helped advise us. Value (5/5): The value and price for the service was competitive and I highly recommend him.

If you're buying a home, you want someone like Kevin on your side. Realtors don't like him and…read morethat's a compliment. He is not afraid to tell a realtor to quiet down or get out of the way, he will spend as much time as it takes to thoroughly inspect every inch of the property so you know exactly what you're walking into. He caught multiple serious issues the sellers either didn't know, didn't disclose, or didn't want to deal with - including a structural concern, improper French drain, water intrusion, mold, and a roof at the end of its life, as well as significant chimney issues. He even flagged a massive dead tree we hadn't noticed, which turned out to be hollow and dangerous -- something that would've cost us $10,000 to remove. That alone could have become a huge liability down the line. His narrative report was detailed, easy to follow, and full of photos so there's no confusion about what was found. He is exceptionally thorough, knowledgeable, and professional, and his attention to detail can save you tens of thousands in future problems.

Worth every cent. And would/will without a doubt hire him again when the time comes.

I have used Sherlock Homes five times now over the past 3 years (I'm a property investor), and I…read morecan't recommend them enough. Ray is wonderful, as is his son, and he's always done an excellent and thorough job for me. He has also saved me countless times on hard to spot issues, including spotting potential major structural issues as well as finding what I can only describe as a "waterfall" of a leak that was literally hidden under a board under an ice cream cooler (it was in a store). I'm being really honest here when I say I have never even bothered to try anyone else because what's the point, Ray is the best in the business.

I wish I had read these reviews prior to listening to the seller's agent when he told me that "Ray…read moreis the only guy I should use for a big house". Seriously? It wouldn't have mattered if the house was 2000 sq ft. or 20,000 sq ft because the guy literally inspected NOTHING!!! He never called me to discuss pricing as was promised by his office person Patricia and then he just showed up an hour early and still didn't discuss pricing but at that point he was well into what I thought would be a great inspection. Besides, I've had plenty of inspections and been to plenty of inspections, they average around $1000 to $2000 depending on size so I wasn't concerned. WELL I SHOULD HAVE BEEN! He didn't even run the appliances! He inspected the roof with a pair of binoculars and only pointed out the obvious branch overhanging the house! His entire foundation report consisted of what It was made of and "majority of foundation was concealed" He didn't even bother to make sure the water was on to the showers - just wrote "no water to shower heads" jacuzzi tub- didn't fill it or run it! advised I talk to homeowner for operating instructions. steam shower- didn't check it. outlets- didn't inspect any that had furniture in the way. Yard, inspected with binoculars from deck, sprinklers, nope, so many things not done! There were more items not inspected than inspected. It was a joke! It was the shortest inspection report I have ever seen and it was filled with Nothing! I'd be happy to share if you're actually considering this guy! Then he didn't even send the report to my attorney until I paid him. We were on vacation and he wanted me to Venmo him. Sorry, I prefer to use checks in these situations. Here's the real joke...... he gave me a courtesy discount. Initial price $6.500!!! discount $1500- TOTAL $5,000!!!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!! His holding up my report made it impossible to have a second inspection. Thank God I love the homeowners and I know they will make sure everything is perfect for my family. If that were not the case I would've had to try to cancel the deal because of this guy.

Accurate Inspections and Michael have a reputation of a very thorough inspector, which sometimes…read morecauses controversy, so I hope I can clarify the situation a little. Michael provides a super thorough inspection and pays attention even to the smallest details. He points out loose stones in the stairs, narrow parking spots that claim to fit more cars than it is realistically possible, stair handles placed uncomfortably, among other things. He also points out important things that are done not up to code and can cause serious issues down the line. It is a responsibility of a buyer to evaluate the findings and apply them, whether in negotiations with the seller, or just for your own reference later to understand what requires fixing and how urgent it is. And knowing that in advance, I think I received a superior service, because thanks to Michael, not only I received a concession from a buyer to fix an improperly installed, though working, garage door, but also avoided troubles with insurance company later by requesting asbestos removal and obtaining corresponding certificate. Michael's commission may be a bit higher than the market, but it's well worth it.

This inspector is by far the worst person any buyer or seller would want to use. He ruined the deal…read morefor our buyer as the things he reported were so far stretched that our buyer backed out. I have been told this is very typical of this man as he then gets a second inspection and gets to make more money. He actually said our furnace was leaking toxic poisonous gas and if that was the case we would have died years ago. Our furnace was also tested by a professional with no issues. He then said our garage was going to cave in at any moment and again it was checked and this too was a lie. The best one yet was he said our entire house smelt like mold and was most likely full of mold. Pretty amazing that I was a health inspector for over 30 years and know a little more about mold than this moron and on top of that my home was completely renovated within the last 5 years and we never ever had mold. If you don't perform a test how can you even state such a thing! I could go on and on with the nonsense that this man comes up with to make himself look like god. Our buyer backed out after trying to get us to lower our price substantially for issues we knew were not legit. In the end we ended up with a better price and buyer so it was a win for us and a loss for the first buyer who lost out on great house and probably overpaid for a second inspection. This man should have his license removed and will be reported to the better business bureau. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on this guy. No house is perfect but there are plenty of other inspectors who are not alarmists and liars like this guy! What a joke!
