Lou and Anthony are amazing! My attorney recommended them as being very quick to respond,…read moreprofessional, and honest, and they did not disappoint. Lou does the actual inspection of the house and his son Anthony does the Radon testing. Lou was very kind and thorough and walked me through the inspection process. Any time I had questions he would break down what he was doing so I could understand completely. The inspection report after the fact was done quickly and very well made. Photos, figures, and details were easy to read and understand. Anthony is extremely knowledgeable on all things radon and was very kind and well spoken. It was truly a pleasure to work with them.

We had Lou out to the house, and after his inspection, he walked us through the issues he noted, gave suggestions on what should be corrected/updated, and was extremely thorough and patient. Also, Anthony (his son) was there and set the house up for radon detection monitoring as well. Both of them were polite and professional. Highly recommended!!!

When arriving at the property, the inspector was already there, and had gotten a head start on the…read moreinspection externally. Not a problem, they gave a brief run down of their findings. I think our inspection only took about an hour and a half, which in my opinion was very short. I have had other inspections last closer to 4 hours. No major concerns were brought up during the inspection, only electrical. We decided to move forward with the purchase and bring forward concerns with electrical to which we were able to work out with the seller. Within one week of moving, we were able to find water damage in multiple areas of the roof, in the crawlspace, etc. Funny, given the fact the inspection took place after heavy rainfall the night prior. Major things missed during inspection roughly 20k worth of expenses. I'm not sure I would ever recommend them. Although they seem thorough, they missed a whole lot.

Please do not use this company. They refused to inspect the foundation and crawl space because…read morethere was 2 inches of water in some spots and they were afraid to be "electrocuted". Their inspection report was very anemic consisting of only about 20 to 25 pages. They spent 80% of the time just showing me the electrical outlets and that was the least of my concern. Most everything they found was visible to the naked eye. I had to pay for an additional inspection for the foundation and crawlspace. And they refused to credit me or refund me a portion of the $600 fee. If you want a thorough inspection, please avoid this company. They missed several key problems.

The most professional home inspector we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Jake was, above…read moreall, knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. Their office scheduled a prompt inspection, Sara had references to recommend for radon and other trades. We feel we got the better of the deal, as Jake had done a through job, for a better than fair fee. Beyond any doubt, I would recommend North Shore Building Consultants.

These guys have cost me so much money…read more They're nice; that's great and all, but they are not thorough at their job. THEY DO NOT CHECK FOR MOISTURE. Which makes their inspection almost a complete waste of time. Keeping water out should be one of, if not, the main issue to surround the inspection with. Make sure you are well aware of that. They have plenty of disclosures in their contract (which also raises some flags, clearly don't trust yourself). I actually called them back to the home a second time 2 weeks after moving in after complaining about the countless issues they missed after we moved in. They were cordial and explained their side of the story, but it still didnt explain so many items missed. Simple things such as an outside spigot not working, a couple seized valves/drains, a broken sand filter pump ($1300) for the pool, etc. Those listed items are as basic and easy to catch as you can find. Turn a faucet, or just visibly see something leaking. In addition to those misses, they definitely missed a few larger and more costly issues: 1 - The basement sliding door was in such poor shape that during a storm, it leaked and flooded the basement bedroom. All you had to do was open it and look and see that the wood was rotted and the track was essentially gone. A new sliding door for that specific size is setting us back $7500 2 - 2 weeks after moving in, had to remove the drywall in the ceiling below to uncover a membrane that was moldy and completely deteriorated. Upon further inspection of the shower, you can visibly see missing grout. This is something they should've easily noticed and then used a moisture meter below. Now I have to rip out the shower and spend thousands, $10k+ to replace it. 3 - Its an older house that has been converted to sewer in the early 2000's. The existing well tank is still installed but not functional. The piping surrounding that is all over the place. Some parts not even connected. They failed to mention really any of the piping issues. In addition, in order to access the main water valve, you have to remove that tank. Also not mentioned in the report is our Main water valve is leaking. To access it, that tank needs all the existing pipes removed, rerouted and welded. This also is a decent sized job costing us $2k+. 4 - Basement drain was not tested and not even listed in the report. Of course this led to a massive fix of $5,000 to dig up the concrete and fix the piping underground that was busted. This could've been avoided had they just poured a glass of water in the drain and noticed it wasn't draining. 5 - The deck railings need to be reinforced/replaced. All this would've taken them to notice was a small tug on the railing to see that if you leaned on this you'd topple over onto the pool deck. Not on mention in the report. There are a few other issues these guys missed. Long story short: you see northshore building consultants as your listed inspector, immediately find someone else. Otherwise you will move into your new dream home and immediately becomes a money pit due to their lack of expertise. Seriously, do not use them. We've lived in the house for 4 months and already have had to spend $40,000 on things THEY missed. Things we could've asked a credit for.

(I only got the okay to set up an inspection on Saturday.) I'd expected only to be able to leave a message and not set up anything until they opened for regular business hours on Monday. Being able to do it over the weekend enabled the inspection to be done at the very beginning of the 5-day period specified in the contract with the seller. As for the report, you couldn't ask for it to be any more complete or any more promptly delivered. The report is long but presented in a way that makes it very easy to go through and understand. The email by which the report was sent had a short video link about tips for maximizing the benefits of the report. Even that had worthwhile info. As for the inspector, Paul LeBeau, what a knowledgeable, experienced, competent and conscientious guy. Over the years I've learned to do a fair number of fix-it things around the house (a little electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc.), so I have some basis for saying what I did about him. I think I've raved long enough, but I meant everything I said.
