I'm honestly disappointed. The inspection felt thorough at the time, but after moving forward we…read morediscovered clear and visible damage along the baseboards consistent with long-term moisture or pet-related issues that were not mentioned at all in the report. This was not hidden damage -- it was visible once baseboards were removed and should have at least been flagged for further evaluation. It's now costing us significant time and money to properly remediate. I also tried reaching out to discuss this and request a reinspection, but never received a response, which was even more frustrating. Based on this experience, I wouldn't hire again.

For your own protection, do not use Chad Chadwick at Seven Stars. His neglect cost us over $25,000…read more First, he neglected to see obvious water and paint damage on the wall 10 inches from a sump pump - where there had been a sump pump leak. He took 3 photos of this exact sump pump, but missed the water damage on the wall where he took the photos. This flood caused mold spreading 200 ft. Second, he missed visible mold larger than a golf ball growing behind the stairs. Third, he missed two gaping holes around 2 different external pipes on the exterior sidewall- one pipe he literally took a photo of but didnt notice that all the grouting was gone. This cost us $800 in damage because we had to flood the area to see if this was the source of mold (but the source was in fact the sump pump, with water damage on the wall, that he didnt notice.). The second gaping hole on the exterior pipe allowed a mice infestation - again, grout deterioration and a hole around a pipe that he missed. Last, he has taken zero accountability for any of this neglect, positioning it as "I'm sorry you were dissatisfied with our services." I didnt ask for the $25,000 - I asked only for a service refund and the $800 for the gaping hole. I felt it was a reasonable request and he offered only a refund and to sign a form that I wouldn't sue - because he clearly knew I had a case to sue him. I dont want to sue him, but I do want to protect you from going through the 3 months of agony (thinking we had a fundamental foundation problem) that I went through. For your own peace of mind, please choose someone else!

Call2Inspect was outstanding from start to finish. Jason was my inspector and was incredibly…read moreknowledgeable. He seemed to know everything about everything related to the home. The entire process was organized, professional, and thorough, and I always felt like I was getting honest, expert guidance. What really sets this company apart is the quality of their reports. They were delivered quickly, easy to save as PDFs, visually polished, and simple to understand. The reports clearly outlined what was working well, what needed attention, and included photos and explanations that made everything easy to follow. As a someone making a first time home purchase, that level of detail and presentation has given me a lot of confidence!

I feel we received a fair inspection but had a couple minor questions and were unable to get back in touch with the inspector. Then came the radon. They are a radon mitigation company that advertise a LIFETIME warranty, well that's not even close to true. It just happened that the home they inspected for my client they had installed a mitigation system just over 5 years ago, I sent them their advertising material and there was a whole list of things that you need to do for the warranty to be in place and it was only good for 5 years. This particular house that they installed the mitigation system the warranty wasn't good for a day because of a location of a wall. If you want a big company feel with terrible customer service and a company that doesn't stand behind their service this is the company for you. RUN don't walk. SHAME ON YOU AXIUM.

Our first inspection by Scott's was excellent. Extremely detailed & in depth. That's why we came…read moreback. The most recent one was a different story. The inspector seemed to gloss over many things & tried to downplay issues without evidence. We were called prior & told our inspector would take only two hours to finish an inspection that normally takes longer -- I think he glossed over many things as a result. Specifics we found after moving in that a visual inspection should have caught: * An interior door on the second floor with visible crack/damage from being forced. The report says interior doors were tested. This one isn't noted anywhere. * Mouse droppings under the kitchen sink -- a cabinet he opened & photographed -- & elsewhere in the home. No mention in the report. We now have an active rodent problem we didn't know about at closing. * The front door handle sticks & fights you when unlocking. Entry door locks & latches are explicitly listed as inspected in his own report. On top of that, three window coverings fell off the wall the first time we pulled the cords. Technically outside inspection scope -- but it speaks to the overall condition of a house we were told had basically nothing wrong with it. The in-person review made it worse. We were told there was basically nothing wrong with the house, & our questions were treated as an inconvenience. He seemed annoyed, arrogant & unkind. When asked, he explicitly said he didn't see evidence of mice -- verbally & on the report -- leading me to believe he was lazy & sped through it. Not characteristics of a great inspector. His own report lists 59 maintenance items & 8 repair recommendations -- so the verbal summary & the written report told two different stories. When I hire an inspector, I'm more impressed by people who are nit picky than forgiving. This is a huge purchase so I prefer someone who's kind, willing to take the time to make sure he doesn't miss anything at all & looks out for us. There are less expensive inspectors out there who are less forgiving than Scott's was this time around. I pay for anal retentive. That was not my experience. Worst of all? I asked for a refund & they flat out refused. It's possible they could do the same for you. I don't think we'll use Scott's ever again. I wouldn't recommend them & ESPECIALLY not Todd Brualdi for inspection services. I'm disappointed in Scott's leadership. Once upon a time, (in my opinion) it felt like a well ran firm that cared about their clients. That's not my opinion, anymore.
