Recently divorced, I was embarking on a home purchase and I required a home inspection. My formal…read moreneed was for an official home inspection; however, I was also needing to assess all the functional/operational details of my home that my ex-husband used to take care of. I'm pretty self-sufficient and a quick learner, but for decades I had not been actively involved in the details of maintaining the furnace, water heater, AC, sump pump, etc. So I needed to know what to look for, and the frequency of service required. John Reid with Bee sure Home Inspect Services performed my home inspection. He was very VERY thorough in his assessments. After he performed the inspection, he took the time to walk me around the house and show me all the details of his assessment -- what was good, what needed improvement in the near future, and what items were critical that needed to be negotiated with the seller, and why. During that time he also helped me to understand what to look for and the frequency of maintenance for the equipment and structure in my home. If you are looking for the right company for your home inspection, look no further. I would 100% endorse Bee Sure. They will take the time necessary to insure that you are well-informed and to give you peace-of-mind in your home purchase.

At the end, he walked us through everything verbally before sending the written report, which was extremely helpful. He explained what really mattered, what was more routine, and what we should keep an eye on, all in plain language. That conversation alone made the whole inspection feel much less stressful. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating with our tight schedule, which we really appreciated. When the written report came through, it was thorough, clear, and matched exactly what he had already explained to us in person. On the scheduling side, Christina was fantastic. She was professional, responsive, and quick to follow up. Coordinating the inspection was smooth and efficient, even with a compressed timeline, and communication was clear every step of the way. Overall, we had a really positive experience with First Choice Inspectors. Between Joe's knowledge and communication and Christina's excellent coordination, everything felt well organized and well handled. We'd absolutely recommend them and would happily work with them again.

DISHONEST and VASTLY OVERPRICED, if you want my quick opinion…read more We had Larry and his team come to our house to do a mold assessment as one of our children had symptoms of mold exposure. After conducting the assessment, they initially left very positive. It was not until they called with the test results that things became dire. After they walked me through all the recommendations that needed immediate attention, I was left devastated. This would have taken months of construction work, an inconceivable amount of money and ruined parts of our house. Every wall covering had to come down, walls needed opening, a waterproof membrane needed to be dug all around the house..... our house was rebuilt only 6 years ago. So I decided to become my own expert at mold assessment. I consulted with my architect, two trusted builders, my HVAC company and another mold assessment company who charged me 1/5 of what Safestart charged. All these people could have benefited from me by conducted the remediation work, yet every single one of them disagreed with Safestart's assessment. I retested all areas, and the levels came back completely normal. I understand that Safestart has a dishonest way of testing. They clearly aim to be alarmist and cause panic with their clients to carry on with more remediation, more testing...of course one of the engineers who conducted the testing also happens to own an HVAC company and many of their recommendations were HVAC related. All I can say, is shame on you Larry & Darren. Your dishonesty caused me so much distress and you took advantage. I am armed with contrary proof of your testing. Sell your company, retire or do whatever you need to but stop taking advantage of clients who are just trying to make their families healthy again. If you are reading this review don't waste your money or put yourself in a stressful state by using this company. There are other companies that do much better work, are honest and do not try to take advantage. We spent over $7000 for the Safestart assessment and all the tests they recommended! They are not worth a penny. The only good thing that came out of this is that I can share my experience and that I have become very knowledgeable about mold testing and remediation!

Beware of this company. Steve was recommended by our realtor prior to purchasing our home. I wish…read morewe would have gone with another inspector. We were assured that he house we bought did not have any previous water damage but after moving in discovered that this was not the truth. How does an inspector miss signs of flooding/water in the basement? We got water 2-3 months after moving in and had to eventually pay a waterproofing service to come fix things. We will now have to refinish the basement and buy new carpet. It could be much more work too if we get mold testing which was not conducted or recommended by Metrospect. I'm sure they are not bad guys but their work is one star work.

I already knew a fair amount about repairs et al, and Josh was able to answer my questions in detail, so it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. He didn't go beyond what could be fairly asserted, but did ensure that I knew what I should look out for as possible problems in future. I noted their attention to detail - e.g. there were written checks in place to ensure that lights were off, the thermostat was reset, and the door locked behind us. Things like possibly missing or broken screens, lack of outlets in certain areas, a step that was too high were all noted. The cost was very fair and the results were high-quality. I felt that it gave us the information we needed to negotiate fairly with the sellers. Basically, I walked away with a manual that I will refer to in order to ensure that I am checking potential problems and budgeting for future repairs. I could most definitely see asking for a return inspection in a few years to ensure that I was taking care of this very expensive purchase properly! The one VERY picky thing that I would suggest is a table of contents in the writeup, as I wasn't aware that categories of significant findings and advice for future repairs and maintenance were listed at the end of the report.
