We had an excellent experience working with Michael and would definitely recommend him!

**Review for Michael at Green Home Solutions**…read more When we suspected mold caused by a leaky dryer exhaust, we called Green Home Solutions. Michael came to our house and was incredibly professional. He thoroughly checked everything, explaining each step in terms I could understand. He reassured us that we had caught the issue in time and even recommended an easy fix. Michael went above and beyond, charging us nothing, and was genuinely the nicest person. He could have easily exaggerated the problem and charged us thousands, but he didn't. People like Michael deserve all the success in the world. If you want to work with a small company you can trust, I highly recommend Green Home Solutions!

My wife and I recently moved to the area and Michael Stoeckle (Green Home Solutions) helped us out…read moretwice this year. He's very responsive, punctual, knowledgeable, and honest. The first time we called him was to inspect some areas of suspected mold growth in a home we were looking at buying. Michael was very thorough and found WAY more growth than our home inspector did. He knew just where to look throughout the house. Michael put together a great proposal for treatment which we ended up using to back out of the purchase. A couple months later, we went through with the purchase another home and found what appeared to be mold or mildew in the closets as we were moving in. (The closets had been piled full of the previous owners' belongings during the inspection and we didn't notice it during the final walkthrough.) We wondered if we had a bigger issue on our hands so we called Michael to come look at it. Again, he did a very thorough inspection, looking behind insulation in the basement and other places that wouldn't have occurred to me. Fortunately, he found that the closets seemed to be the only issue. He told us he would be happy to treat them for us but the issue was so minor we could safely and effectively do it ourselves for much less money. He gave us detailed instructions for how to take care of it with a combination of over-the-counter products. He explained how those products differed from what he would use and why each step in the instructions was important. We followed his instructions and after a very humid summer the closets are still clean! If we were to encounter mold issues in the future I would definitely trust Michael to check it out and take care of it. Thanks Michael!

The bullet: Green Mountain Property Inspections makes your property purchase its priority, both in…read moreaction and in education. The long version: I have dealt with numerous property inspectors, both as a customer and as an attorney counseling my clients, in decades of practice. Many offer detailed inspection reports, others offer convenient service and timely performance, and others still offer to guide the prospective buyer through the property to educate them. Few offer to do all of these while also communicating effectively and clearly. Lucian Benway of Green Mountain Property Inspections is one of these rare inspectors. Lucian's inspection process is equal to those of inspectors with decades of experience: Start with the critical infrastructure (heating, electrical, etc.), directly inspect the interior and exterior of the entire property, or (as with rooftops) with a drone, and outline any concerns along the way with the customer. Lucian takes copious notes, photographs, and video, all of which he uses to great effect when he tenders his final report. This report is more than a summary of the property, it is an itemized guide for repairs and improvements in both the short and long term; Lucian understands that a property purchase may require tolerating some issues, but you may still wish to address them in the future. Beyond his competence and communication, Lucian is a professional: On a recent transaction Lucian gracefully handled a last minute cancellation due to missteps by the listing agent. He could have complained about the disruption to his schedule, and he could have billed the client for the cancelled inspection, Instead, he waived any fee and committed to a new inspection date with no issue. For all of this, I refer my real estate clients to Lucian without reservation or hesitation, and you should, too.

Two of those house were spent in the basement reviewing the heating, plumbing, etc.. Once he noticed the water trap had been adjusted, he suggested that we snake the sewer line to check the condition of the pipe. We ended up finding a broken (but semi-functioning) pipe! His recommendation saved us thousands down the road. The report he compiled is extremely detailed. It's something I plan to read, re-read, and reference for years to come. On top of pointing out serious potential issues around the home, Paul offers excellent advice for fixing up the little odds and ends that won't derail a sale, but will be easy fixes once we own the property. Thanks, Paul!

My personal opinion would be to stay away…read more This guy will not tell you how much things will cost. Nickels and dimes on travel charges. Is a BIG talker and charges you by the hours. He is also incredibly rude to his wife and dog. On a call with him I think thought I was on mute and he yelled like crazy person at his dog and wife to shut up. I was very offended. My opinion is the other reviews had to be friends. No way would I use this guy.

Jeff was friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, answered all my questions, and gave me helpful tips for our new home. The information he provided enabled us to address issues immediately before they became bigger problems. In addition to the standard home inpection, we had them do a radon test and a lateral waste pipe camera inspection. I was shocked to see so many positive reviews were removed by the automated system. If you take the time to read the removed reviews, you will get a much better picture of this company and the level of service they provide. We're very happy with their service and highly reccommend them!

This guy was a terrible home inspector and should be avoided at all costs (avoiding him will save…read moreyou money). Sure, he will give you a fancy report with FLIR pictures of your oven, but he misses the basics. He missed the fact that my front door did not latch when close or have a dead bolt on it. How can you make it through a VT winter if your front door will not even latch? He also missed a huge carpenter ant infestation in the master bathroom where some trees were touching the house. Replacing the front door alone cost me $4,000. When I pointed this out to him, he didn't even offer an apology. Let alone a refund. I thought about going after him in court, but it is too hard to go after a home inspector. Better to just avoid.

He was actually a little early at the property and was able to do some of the exterior inspection before I arrived. He walked through the whole property with me, including the out buildings and helped to sort out some property boundary questions that I had. His descriptions of the building and its systems were detailed but he didn't talk over my head with contractor jargon. He was down to earth, friendly and thorough. The inspection report came in the next day with pictures and graphics to help me understand. It was easy to read and Lary made himself available after the inspection for some follow-up questions. I would absolutely recommend him again!
