It's a little hard to tell the exact quality of the inspection until we've lived here for a few years, but it's been over 6 months now and it seems like Blue Lobster was spot on about everything they looked at. We felt they were incredibly thorough (even calling out things like some mold on the underside of the refrigerator water dispenser) and also didn't make us feel too scared about the things that they did find that were not up to snuff. We got a solid picture about the house, and a great, thorough report, that we were also able to give directly to our insurance provider so they could see what they were insuring. Every contact was friendly and professional, and no complaints at all!

Brandon waited weeks to get back to me and talked to my real estate agent again about the damage. Brandon then did not reach back out to me. When I was finally able to get a hold of Brandon, he again spelled my name wrong and said I could reach out to his attorney as he was filling a claim with his professional error and admission. I have yet to get an apologize to this error. To admit that they made the mistake and still not find a way to fix this. This was very unprofessional by Brandon and his team.

I purchased a condo in Saco and my inspector spent very little time here considering the cost; as…read moreit turns out, he never ran the washer or dryer and the washing machine leaked all over the floor when I first used it. Furthermore, the shut off valves under my kitchen sink are all compromised and now have to be replaced by a plumber.

He was professional and understanding of our knowledge gaps. Most importantly, he was comfortable to tell us when he didn't know an answer as opposed to just firing off a best guess. He pointed us in the right direction for where to get the most qualified answers to our questions. The formal inspection report we received after the on site visit was detailed and user friendly. This is our second home and our experience with WIN far exceeds the experience we had with our inspection on our primary residence. Would HIGHLY recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a quality, professional, and user friendly home inspection. Thanks for everything!

The Inspector Jeremy completed a "very thorough" inspection within 45 minutes of my parents house,…read morethen after claiming that the inspection was over and that it all looked good and after the buyers and the buyers realtor had left the premise he took it upon himself to enter the premises ALONE to "make sure the doors were closed and the lights were off" during this time he claimed to hear a hissing and found what was described as a small leak in my parents bathroom. He shut off the valve to the bathroom sink and the placed a call to the buyers to notify them who claims to have asked Jeremy to shut off the main valve but he decided that would have been "overkill" so he then decided to leave the premises to go and purchase a shop vac to apparently clean up this minor leak however while he was gone because he decided it was over kill to turn off the main water valve to the house which was in the pantry of our kitchen very easy to access, another sink line broke and proceeded to flood our house including the brand new carpet that was less than a month old. Jeremy then tried to pressure us into replacing every single piping line in the house because as he stated "they looked the same" So even though it was overkill to turn off the main water valve, he recommended us replace all the plumbing throughout the rest of the house cause they also could leak. Had Jeremy shut off the main water valve as requested the leak would have been minor and not ruined months worth of painting and trimming and laying new carpet. But as Jeremy stated turning off that one extra valve in the kitchen would have been "overkill" No what is overkill is having to tear out brand new carpet, all of your freshly painted trim and paying over 800$ to a water mitigation company because the inspection refused to work with my parents in any way. What is not overkill though is turning one valve inside the house to turn off the main water source. However after all of this is said and done my parents are forced to go to their insurance company who then goes to the inspectors insurance to find out that the entire story has shifted. You see Jeremy now claims that he was actually still doing the inspection and taking thermal readings inside the house when he heard the hissing. This company is unprofessional and irresponsible and no one from this company will ever inspect any personal property in the future whether buying or selling. Nor would I recommend them to any friends or family.

I never give a review on a service unless I feel that the provider has proved that they go beyond and above what I was expecting. This is the case with Focused Property Inspections.

We trusted our realtor to hire Peak Performance Home and Building Inspectors and what a naive…read moremistake as first-time home buyers. They inspected our 120-year-old farmhouse but overlooked a very long list of important things. They noted on the inspection to simply fix a few GFCI outlets, however, we ended up getting a separate electrical inspection (after we purchased the home) and learned we had knob and tube that needed $12,000 worth of electrical repairs. Peak Performance also claimed they couldn't inspect our septic because they "couldn't find it" - come to find out there was a septic leak into our basement and the basement was filled with effluent and ended up costing us over $10,000 to fix the septic issue that Gina and the team couldn't find. We also asked them if they found any mold, and they said no. 8 months later, our tenant has mold toxicity and is very sick. During renovations, we not only found toxic black mold, but asbestos in the walls and none of this was disclosed to us. The list goes on, but these are just a few examples of what this team overlooked. Due to their negligence, it has cost us $300,000 in renovation costs that we were not prepared for, and that could have possibly been negotiated with the seller had we not depended on Peak Performance's inspection results. We do not recommend.
