The longer I've been in my house the more I'm amazed at how much was missed on the inspection. This…read morewas a pre inspection from the seller. I was the buyer...so I of course have no recourse. He missed electrical tape covering a very corroded drain stack. His picture of the drain stack conveniently didn't include the corroded part. He said no issues with the chimney although there a multiple issues, (with both chimneys in my house) including a completely rotten support beam in the crawl space, failing mortar, and significant damage to the furnace chimney. Although he is not a mason he should have been able to recognize these signs of failure...and if he has no ability to recognize if their are issues with a chimney he should not say in his report "no issues with the chimney" Then some more minor things...sinks not secured to the walls...leaking drain under the kitchen sink. Those things aren't a huge deal but definitely speaks to lack of attention to detail. Everyday I hold my breath thinking about what other major issue that is If you are a seller looking for a pre inspection that doesn't point out some major problems then this is your guy. But if you are buying don't trust his report.

We hired Chris Honingford to conduct an inspection for the condo we were buying. Upon moving into…read morethe condo, we learned that the toilet was not secured the the floor. The bolts were completely stripped because the flange had been broken. There is no way Chris should have missed this. He claims he checked the toilet to see if it wobbled, but he obviously didn't. If he had, he would have discovered it was completely loose from the floor. We also learned the day we moved in that the 3-month-old water heater was leaking. That had be replaced as well. The bathroom faucet was also leaking and had to be replaced. Normally, I'd give Chris the benefit of the doubt and assume the water heater and faucet weren't leaking when he inspected it, but considering he missed something so obvious as the toilet, I'm not so sure. Our realtor (who recommended Chris) reached out to him about this, and he offered no recompense whatsoever. We had to buy a new toilet and have it installed. This was incredibly expensive. These problems were annoying and expensive to fix, but at least they weren't life threatening. Next time he might miss something more serious, like a gas leak. I'd recommend going elsewhere for your inspections. The fact he had no desire to make any effort to try to make this right should also give you pause. UPDATE: After Chris's complete unwillingness to do anything to make this situation right, I filed a complaint to the Attorney General's office, in the hopes of saving other people from a situation like this. Chris's response to the AG was to claim the plumber we hired was "inventing work". He doubled down on his claim that he checked the toilet, even though our realtor shared video we took with him showing how loose the toilet was. Anyone can make a mistake; that's forgivable. But you own up to it and do what you can to make it right. Lying about it and trying to pass the blame to other innocent parties is inexcusable.

He does a very complete inspection. He emailed me the report the same day. It is very useful since I know what projects to work on first. He is an expert.

I could tell you how he -- completely unsolicited --offered to walk through the report in person with me whenever I got into Washington for the home sale. But Y'ALL. Let me tell you instead how I called this guy nearly TWO YEARS AFTER THE INSPECTION in a panic during the last big freeze when an exterior hose bib failed. Why? Because a) the water company had come through and updated the water meter, changing the look of the main shut-off (rendering my limited experience with the valve totally useless), and b) no plumber would come out, since they were responding to 19,383,629 other freeze-related emergencies. I expected NOTHING from this guy at this point: it was the hailiest of Hail Mary's. Instead, I got a quick "I'm on my way" from him. WHAT?!? When he got there, found another shut-off, and kept me from going without water (and my house from floating away on its own plumbing-failure river), my shriveled little Grinchy heart DID grow three sizes that day! J is good people doing good work. I will never work with anyone else for home inspections.

However I didn't hire him to be my friend, I hired him to inspect my house. Most of the inspection was great, but some things were completely wrong or missing. The report states that the venting above the gas stove was working properly but there is no vent at all there, and that has been an ongoing issue in my house. The report also states that the water dispenser in the fridge was working normally but there is not even a water line connected to the refrigerator. I had read really good reviews about this business, so I had hoped for the same. Unfortunately it was a sub par inspection.
