Robert Fico was everything I could've asked for from a home inspector. He left no stone unturned in the front yard, the backyard, under and over the house. He found countless problems with a home we were about to purchase.
Robert is also a pleasant man and the consummate professional. He told me everything he was doing. If I didn't understand, he dumbed it down for me. He climbed everywhere, had the proper tools to see where he didn't fit, and was knowledgeable about every aspect of the home.
Some things he highlighted as examples:
The new stone paver walkway leading up to the home isn't sitting properly in concrete. This will allow it to spread over time and require fixing or replacement.
The electrical service in the house was replaced. There was no evidence of a permit.
A french drain was dug in the basement to eliminate any moisture issues. This is a wonderful feature of the house as it prevents any future water issues in the basement. It was draining, however, into the sewer. This is illegal and requires correction.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have no other connection with Robert other than him inspecting a potential home for me. read more
