    Surface black mold from moisture and potential leak. This does not represent the mold spores in the air from this amount of mold.

    Building Specs did our inspection this past August. During the inspection we voiced our concerns about mold. Our inspector offered us additional mold testing and we decided to invest the several hundreds of dollars to go forward. After getting the report, the email response given was "The samples came back with no mold growth, no concerns!" Day one of owning the home we discovered the laundry room was RIDDEN WITH MOLD. After several interactions with the inspector and owner we walked away highly dissatisfied with their "Mold Report" and customer service. I had previously left a review and deleted it after he had offered me a refund if I took down my review. I had agreed but upon the refund I was asked to sign away all liability of Building Specs since I was receiving a refund. I declined for obvious reasons and did not take the check. Here we are 6 months later and I'm very sick with mold toxicity. Since moving into our new home, my health has declined due to this significant mold exposure. I've ran several personal labs to confirm this mold toxicity in my body. I'm also running several, accurate and reliable home mold tests. Attached are photos of mold found that should have absolutely been picked up on an air sample from the home. Their mold test is nothing but an add on money maker. I'm now left to test, remediate and detox my body from this toxic mold on my dime. All of which could have been prevented and avoided had they had reliable tests before moving my family and infant into this home. My last resort is bashing someone's business. But I'm here to warn others of the lack of accuracy, professionalism & quality of their reports. This review doesn't go on to list the many other issues of that were downplayed. In summary, find another company and stay clear of Building Specs.

When you're buying a home, a detailed inspection is something you should never rush and I appreciate how Ron always goes above and beyond to make sure we fully understand what we're walking into. This is our second time using him, and once again he delivered exceptional service. We trust him completely. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Ron, for helping us with another home inspection. You really are the best!

    I hired Ron to do an inspection as I was selling my parents' house and was not completely familiar…read morewith the current condition. I like to use local, small businesses whenever possible, and his reviews were excellent. My mistake was not noticing how old they were. He advised it would take 4 to 4 1/2 hours to complete. He was there 5 hours when my realtor had to ask him to leave for the open house that was being held that day. He came back afterward to finish the roof inspection. He failed to complete an inspection for the kitchen due to "time constraints". However, he had time to note that there was a pet door that was a "safety" concern. He also stated that some items were issues that he was clearly wrong about ("minimal" strapping on a water heater that had 2 straps from a newly purchased kit and a third steel strap, replacement windows that he stated were the "builder type from the original construction"). While I appreciate thoroughness, spending time nitpicking every minor detail in a 61 year old house but not completing the full inspection I paid for is not acceptable. He did not get my name right on the report, even though I wrote it for him on the contract I signed. He did not provide the hard copy report that was promised, nor did he email it to me - I had to get it from my realtor. I'm giving him a 3 for thoroughness. If you have unlimited time to wait for this guy to complete the inspection, go for it. He may have been a great inspector in his prime, but personally I think he needs to hang it up and retire already.

We quickly realized that a slightly higher quote from this pro came with superior quality work and bigger savings down the line from doing it right the first time. He cleaned up the mess the previous owners left us with and we could not be happier. Thank you Sam!!

I was able to reach out to Sam with Valley United Plumbing late night and he answered right away. Answering the phone call late night is amazing enough, but they were able to fit us in to the schedule first thing this morning. Our suspicions of a blown out water heater were confirmed by Sam and he was able to thoroughly point out the issue. He managed to get us a brand new system and installed it up to today's codes. Before he wrapped up as he always does he explained everything he did. Talked to us about the warranty and how to make sure the system lasts us as long as possible. It's always a pleasure to use these guys. I can't say enough about how clean the work is. They are professional, ethical, and efficient. Previously, they installed an awesome reverse osmosis water filter system. Make sure to ask them about it. Life changing! I highly recommend it!!
