My husband and I used David in the spring for the home inspection on a property we ended up…read morepurchasing. He was easy to get ahold of, available quickly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We purchased an almost 4000 square foot, 135 year old home, and David went out of his way to check every square inch of that property. He arrived early and had already checked the exterior by the time we got there to join him. He was excellent to deal with, made the process painless, and had some great advice for my husband and I as new homeowners. The follow up email with his report was detailed and included photos of every part of the house. His pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the size of the home. Highly recommend!

He moves through the house at the perfect pace, with a great eye for finding small details we would have never noticed.

I highly recommend working with David!

Paul is truly an unique Home Inspector. He enjoys what does and it shows. He arrived thirty…read moreminutes prior to the scheduled time and had already been on the roof and taken pictures and thoroughly inspected the outside. He walked us through each part of the inspection and had very interesting questions, stories, and insightful explanations. The report was 90 pages! The home inspection report about my house was roughly 70 pages and the remaining 20 he provided instructional documents on how to maintain items and various product informational sheets. This is my second home purchase and I truly loved the inspection experience. Honestly speaking, I wondered about some of Paul's recommendations because he was so detailed and seemed very particular about certain items that I did not think they were critical issues. He was a true straight shooter and knowledgeable. Please take him seriously. He is really focused and insightful. At the end, his report helped us get $50,000 reduced from our original offer. He provided me a nice book about how to take care of my new home as well as was so responsive on phone and email. Overall, Paul Maida Inspection Service surpassed my expectation! Great experience! A true blessing for my family! We saved $50,0000 and now we can do all the issues he pointed out in his inspection report.

We had Paul do our home inspection. We are first time homebuyers, so I don't have much to compare…read morethis to, but: we both thought that Paul was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. We selected Paul from a long list of inspectors. He didn't have as many YELP reviews as some others, but his website convinced us that he was the right choice. (He teaches Home Inspection courses at UNH, and had more certifications than we could count!) Walking through the house with Paul, he had such a positive attitude and was so thorough and forthcoming with his observations, opinions, and education. In our experience, a lot of service professionals adopt a doom-n-gloom approach. With Paul, from start to finish, he felt honest and approachable. He takes pictures of everything. He explains as much (or as little) to you as you like. And he gives you a quick and detailed electronic report. He also didn't seem bothered by our parents and realtor in tow :) Most important: it seemed like Paul genuinely ENJOYS his job. And it shows in his work. Would highly recommend.

His men showed up when he said they would. They removed everything. Cleaned the entire area and were very courteous. Air test went off without a hitch. Mr. Homsey followed up afterwards each time to make sure we were satisfied with the job and thanked us for doing business with him. I highly recommend this company and do so to anyone that asks us for an asbestos removal company. Professional and gets the job done speedily and effectively. What more can you ask for.

ABest left Asbestos on our pipes. They ran they air test for a "complete" job while the asbestos…read morewas still wet from where they only partially pulled it off, and when I tried to have them come back and take care of things, the manager avoided all calls. When I did initally speak with him, he stated that "mistakes are made, but you paid to have a good job done, and thats what we did". I said No, I paid to have you remove all the contracted asbestos. I recommend that if you want the job done, contact someone else. The owner was quite willing to express a dangerous work ethic over the phone when I spoke with him later on. Here are further details about my experience with them, including the boss' sketchy advice: First, I had asked them to come back and check on a part that I wasn t confident about because it looked like the joints of the pipes had asbestos on it still. The man I spoke to (owner? Sam) said that he would come and check things the next day. He spoke about how concerned with customer relations he was and wanted to make sure things were fine. The manager did not come as he said he would, but instead sent two employees who had no idea why they were coming and who I could hardly speak with because of language barriers. They insist that what I was concerned about was just dust They proceeded to pick up a baby rag that was in my laundry heap to clean the part of the pipe I was inquiring about, all while I was standing there with my infant, and then they strongly emphasized how I should throw this rag away. A second air test was not conducted as I had requested. I wish I had insisted because the asbestos that they didn t remove would have been dry at this point, whereas it was likely wet during the first air test. It was too exhausting to try to explain to the employees why they were there to begin with, and I was confused at why the owner/manager didn t come as he said he was. Not to mention my confusion about how they had used my laundry to clean the pipe, and how they so emphatically insist I throw the baby blanket away. My husband and his friend removed a pipe in our basement and discovered that ABest had NOT REMOVED ALL THE ASBESTOS, but had left two 6 inch sections. These had obviously been worked on but not all the asbestos was taken off. They had removed the front area of asbestos, but not off the back part of the pipe, which would have been more difficult. Difficult or not, they didn t remove it. As a result, my husband and our friend had stood directly under the asbestos that we had paid to remove, and they sawed and hammered on the pipe, getting asbestos dust all over their face and clothing before realizing what had happened. The wrapping around the asbestos had been removed, the amount of asbestos on the pipe uneven (this was very different than the condition of the asbestos prior to their work) - obviously someone had worked on it some and just not finished. Also its significant to know that they ran the test while the asbestos still would have been wet. Upon talking to ABest, the owner became really angry and yelled at for 13 minutes, admitted that they made a mistake, and that mistakes are made but that they had done a good job . He told me that nothing would come of it if I contacted the EPA and that he "knew every individual who worked in the EPA with asbestos, so go ahead on contact them because I know every single one of them ." Also indicating their ethic -- while yelling at me, he told me that WE would get in trouble with the EPA for having moved the pipe (which is why he suggest I don't report him to the EPA) - yet he said I should move it back into the basement otherwise we might have to remediate the soil! Apparently he is more concerned with covering tracks than that the soil might legitimately now need remediation, even if it is lousy that we d have to pay for it. He laughed at me and acted very much like we did something wrong for having the asbestos there, he assured me that nothing would come of this, that mistakes are made and hurled many insults at me. As a result of their carelessness, my husband, friend, and children all were doing things they should not have done with asbestos around, He did offer to come and take the pipes away, but that doesn't change the exposure that has taken place. I would STRONGLY recommend AGAINST using ABest. Get your asbestos taken care of by someone who will take care of it.

Each time (but the last one, obviously), we had to call them and cancel the visit. Each time they were incredibly easy to reach despite one being at 7pm and another with less than 24 hours of notice! The voices on the end of the phone each time were sweet and caring and offered just the right amount of sympathy for the lost house every time we had to cancel. Finally, we didn't have to cancel! We've had the pleasure of working with Mike and Karen, and we talked to Mark a few times. Mike and Karen did the actual review and we couldn't be happier. They were on time (though we were not...) and immediately got to work taking pictures and taking notes. We had scheduled four hours for the inspection and we used every second. They both showed kindergarten-teacher level patience with us as we followed them around and tripped over our own feet asking questions. They walked us through everything and provided context to their points to make it easy to understand. I feel like I can actually read a boiler now! They answered questions we didn't even know we had. We expected the report the next day, but it arrived at 11:01pm that night. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but our house was in great condition, so there weren't a lot of things to elaborate on, but it was still a thorough 53 pages. Having that report and knowing exactly how each aspect was examined gave us the kind of confidence that we needed to buy our first house. I really can't express how pleased we were with our treatment and you can bet that when we buy our next home, if Hawkeye Home Inspections is still around (only because we don't plan on buying another home for a while), they'll be hearing from us again!
