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!

You can't get any better than Veriguard when it comes to home inspectors. Phil is prompt,…read moreprofessional and totally knows what he is doing. I like that he categorizes items into what needs to be Fixed immediately and what should be fixed down the line. In our case, the sellers agent was on Phil's back, almost sort of pressuring him- Phil was unbothered and focused on our questions and concerns and buyers. Would recommend Phil to anyone purchasing a home in the area and would definitely use him again if I purchased another home.

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.

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.

The inspector raced through the inspection of my home before purchase and failed to…read moreidentify major issues ... corroded wiring and rusted electrical panels, exposed chimney vent (easily visible). Now I'm stuck with thousands of dollars of bills to repair after the purchase of the home. When I asked the company to compensate via insurance, they stated I signed an agreement which I can only claim damages up to the amount of the inspection fee $450!!!. They screwed me and cost me money on the home price as well as repair and refuse to make me whole! Mark Bendit, shame on you! Please check the agreement before you sign. It says you waive your right to be compensated above the inspection fee if they are negligent!! Do not sign! Do not use their services!!! UPDATE!! Based on owners response: The owner didn't refer me to his insurance as he claims. He referred me to his lawyer, who stated they were not obligated to pay me for their negligence. They will only return my inspection fee if I sign a release form. Mark, please don't make me post the release form next. Having your insurance fix the damage would have been the honorable thing to do.

I am in the process of buying my first single family house. On top of a home inspection, my friend…read moreand real estate agent also recommended that I perform an oil tank sweep and a radon test. Finding a vendor that can 'do-it-all' was a head-pulling process until I found Mikhail (he goes by 'Michael') who said yes to all three. He showed up on time, immediately ran a ground scan performing the oil tank sweep, thoroughly went through the house for the inspection, and left a radon test kit in the basement to collect an air sample, all for about two hours. Very next day, I received three reports at 9pm: 1. Inspection 2. Termites 3. Oil Tank Sweep Currently awaiting a radon test result. Since collecting a sample takes two days and the sample has to be shipped to a lab, several more days are needed. He's done a great job and I highly recommend hiring him for your due diligence. Thanks, Michael! Dan

If you have mold in your building, call this company immediately! I am thoroughly impressed by Bill…read morePowers and Ryan Linton. They listened to my concerns about the toxic mold growth on my walls following a water leak, and came out the next morning to do air and surface sample testing. The next day they had lab results and emailed me detailed PDFs with the lab report and their recommendation protocol for mold remediation. Ryan also called me to talk through their findings. Powers Environmental LLC is third-party and independent, so hiring them prevented a conflict of interest with the mold remediation company. My situation was particularly complicated, because I wound up having problems with one remediation company and switched to another, and everything had to involve the property managers. There was a lot of disagreement between the property managers and me, and Powers Environmental LLC went above and beyond in helping explain the dangerous mold situation and remediation process to the property management company. It was a multi tiered process, and I felt so protected knowing that Powers environmental 100% had my health and safety as their sole priority. I watched Ryan work when he came for the clearance testing, and I appreciate his methodical and detail oriented approach. I wish everyone was as conscientious about testing and following biosecurity as this company is. Bill and Ryan always replied to my messages within an hour or less and were very patient with my many questions. I give this company my highest praise, respect, and recommendation.

He showed up as scheduled and without wasting any time, he went straight to work. He used this handheld machine and tested different random painted areas. There was no need for me to follow him around and I just went on to do some work while waiting. He finished after about two hours plus. There was no moving of furniture needed on my part, or at least he did not ask me to. It was done just about the length of time he had advised me of. I received the paperwork and the report afterward via email. It was very detail and exactly what I needed. He was easy to work with. I found him to be both knowledgeable, thorough and professional. His fee seemed reasonable which was of similar rate as other contractors I had talked to before. I would certainly recommend him for the lead paint inspection. And I will be comfortable hiring him if I need an home inspection in the future since he also provides such service.

Chris came to the house, gave a quick inspection of the foundation of the house and then set the radon test in the basement near the radon pipe.

The test was inexpensive for the peace of mind that we have knowing my family is safe. Definitely worth the money to get the test done.

I 100% recommend Chris and C.M. Burrows Enterprises!
