My husband and I recently had a home inspection done by Ty. First, let me say, what an absolutely…read morenice person Ty is. He was more than prompt, he actually arrived early. The inspection process itself was completely thorough; he looked at everything. During the inspection he was very responsive to questions and was not bothered to have to explain some things in less technical jargon when I didn't understand. The final inspection report was sent to us that same night and Ty even said he would come back to look at the roof if we wanted since it was covered in snow on the inspection day. He has been available to answer questions after the report as well and in a timely manner. I cannot say enough good things about Ty and the service he preformed. I would highly recommend Capital Valley Home Inspections.

I highly recommend Jason with Bald Eagle Inspection services. The entire experience has been…read moreexcellent from first contact to receiving the final inspection report. Prior to the inspection, I had a few questions and Jason called me and took his time addressing my concerns. I didn't feel rushed and he was very friendly and put me at ease. My husband and I were not able to attend the inspection, but I felt totally comfortable with that after speaking with him. Our realtor raved about him and she was absolutely right to rave. He did a very thorough job inspecting the house and he called us that night to discuss it, and even sent us the final report the same day, despite it being late in his time zone. When he called us to discuss it, he took his time explaining his findings and answering our questions. We did not feel rushed at all. He is very friendly and personable and easy to talk to. The report was quite detailed and contained a lot of photos which I appreciated. I felt that I had a much better understanding of the condition of the house and I feel confident proceeding with the purchase. Jason made a potentially stressful experience very easy and smooth. This will be our fourth house purchase and he has been the best inspector that we have worked with by far, please do not hesitate to use his service!

I hired Jason's company when I was getting episodes of nausea and fatigue that the medical…read morecommunity in Albany couldn't diagnose. Jason came with impressive scientific equipment and determined that there were high mold levels COMING FROM OUTSIDE my apartment building.

Negative stars if possible. We bought a home in upstate New York in October. Due to the…read morecircumstances, we were not able to be present at the home inspection ( although our realtor was). At the end of the home inspection, we went over the report on the phone with the owner of this company. He assured us that "it was a great home", "he would buy it himself ", And that there were no conditions that would meet the $1500 limit that would require negotiation. Flash forward to the day we move in. My wife opened a casement window, and the window almost fell out of the sash. Upon further investigation all four bay windows need to be replaced due to rot. Please see pictures attached. It is clear that he never even opened the windows.This was after he noted in the report that there is evidence of water intrusion. Of course, he didn't say it was serious. In fact he said there was nothing wrong with the house. In his report he did note that it should be inspected by a qualified professional. However, I've been a real estate professional for 18 years and have dealt with hundreds of home inspections. They all have multiple notations of that kind of language, to protect their ass. The reputable ones certainly mention any concerns they have in the follow up to the report. I called the owner of the company and he came out of the house. All he was interested in was blaming it on me, for not opening the windows during the walk-through. He also tried to blame the realtor for not doing it during the initial home inspection. He also audio taped the conversation without my knowledge or consent. Not that I give a crap about what I said during that conversation. I finally threw him off of my property. Real estate professional; do not recommend this vendor to your clients. He does a crappy job, does not take responsibility and will blame you if anything goes wrong. Future homeowners; do not use this vendor. He does shotty work and will hide behind the legalese in his report. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Long story short, all four bay windows need to be replaced. It will cost $22,000. I will be investigating my legal options against this company.
