We would never recommend Adam Blakenship, with Beach Home Inspections, LLC. We had the worst experience with him. We heard good and bad things about him, but we decided to hire him based on his information provided on his website. Talk is cheap and we found out the hard way. First, he explained he didn't want us there because it slowed the process down. We understood and complied. That was our first mistake. If you want to be present for your inspection, you are paying for the inspection and you want your inspector to walk you through and show you the concerning areas and show you how the house functions. Moving forward, we met to go over the inspection. There were many MAJOR areas that he did not inspect because he didn't have access to them due to his lack of asking the home owners to show him, but assured us he would complete that at a later date. We paid him $600 for this inspection that was incomplete with the trust that he was good for his word. ALWAYS get something in writing - never take a contractor's word. The day we had scheduled Adam to complete the inspection, he contacts us literally one hour prior to the appointment to inform us it would cost us another $300 for his incomplete services. We were upset, to say the least. The home owners, the listing agent, and our agent, Rick Drumm, all came together for us to walk us through the house and show us areas of the house Adam was paid to do. That was so kind of them because we didn't have a clue about this huge investment we were going into. Adam gave us an incomplete inspection, wanted more money to complete the inspection and on top of all of our disappointments with him, told us he would refund half of our money and of course, did not. Please do your homework before hiring your inspector. This is a huge investment for you and your family, and you want someone that you can trust to be on your side. Someone that will show you the areas that are concerning. Adam did NOT fulfill his obligation with us and we would warn anyone before contacting him. read more
