HATE to have to write this, but after going through what we thought was a very thorough inspection…read moreand finally closing on a house, it was only 2 weeks before our boiler began leaking. After having it serviced, we were told the boiler is junk and that it needed replacement. We have been informed from multiple people that this was a glaring issue that should have been caught upon inspection. After a very complicated and taxing process, we are now over $12K in the hole for a boiler replacement & other matters regarding this, even after paying $35K over asking price for the house. 3 stars because I understand it is a tough situation to be in especially because inspection was performed during late summer, when the boiler hadn't been running for some time, and we watched our inspector run the boiler for over 45 minutes producing only a small amount of leaking water (which we have been told, is apparently normal).

This was the 3rd inspection I have had with Walsh and they have all been exceptional. The…read moreInspector we had on our most recent one this week was on a 200 year old colonial, certainly many issues but the Inspector; Brian was realistic about some of the issues you can find in an old home BUT still pointed them out for me each time. Our Inspector was thorough and detailed he was, personable, competent, helpful and pleasant. He went to great length to explain things, the level of severity of issues and things to focus when we buy the home. This was probably the best experience I have had with a Home Inspection and the report that I received will be a document that I will use to update the various aspects of the home. It was forty pages with a ton of reference pictures and was well worth the money. I have had inspections in the past from "franchise" type companies and they have missed a ton of stuff and taken shortcuts, you won't see that with Walsh, great outfit and refreshing to be able to recommend a small business with such consistency.

Ken Bates of Ace Inspect is an experienced, highly skilled, and honest home inspector. I have…read morerecommended him to 2 of my friends who were looking to purchase a condo. I found Ken's contact information online when buying my condo in July 2010. Ken performed an extremely thorough inspection, classifying issues as natural to the age of the building or cause for worry. It was clear from interacting with Ken that his knowledge extended beyond cursory surface level understanding that only comes with years of experience. 1 year after the purchase, I noticed a cigarette smoke smell in my unit and asked Ken to inspect. He was unable to identify the issue. Instead of taking full payment, he insisted on me paying him only half. A few months later, I called Ken up again for another small problem, this time, he identified the source of the cigarette smoke and suggested a resolution. I was able to implement and our house is now smoke smell free! In conclusion, Ken is intelligent, experienced, and easy to work with. Ken will provide peace of mind especially for a first time home buyer like I was.

I agree with the positive reviews!! What a pleasant, friendly and helpful guide to homebuying…read more I hired Ken short notice on a Sunday evening for a Monday full home inspection and he was courteous, thorough and smart. My only constructive feedback- which perhaps helps explain the negative comments you see below- is Ken is so thorough that he likes to give homebuyers the complete sense of a situation, beyond an inspector's advice (which feels more like a wise family member's advice) on every feature of the home, and that can come across as irrelevant to the professional obligations of a home inspector. At times, I felt like I was being "schooled" which is not necessary. He was up front with me that if a customer wants to keep it to just the essential inspection only, instead of the more thorough advice on every page of the report, to let him know this when you start the job and he'll trim his inspection back in depth without compromising his professional work. I think setting expectations on the time the appointment is the responsibility of the client. Ken's naturally curious and fully interested in your success at home buying so I felt he was genuinely doing his best to mitigate any disappointment or surprise after purchasing the home. His communication, attention to detail and responsiveness to my and my agent's questions were all excellent. Thanks, Ken!

His digital acumen is notable (eg jpegs, measurements, technology, etc) in a field of inspectors that are often a little too pencil and paper for the times. He offers great references and perspective for details both large and small. He's very sharp and detail-oriented. He caught a difficult to see problem at our first appointment that was near catastrophic and the home owners association brought in an emergency crew to fix it. You want an inspector that will not just clear a property fairly but who'll leave you confident in missing next to nothing for livability and improvement costs later on. If you're looking for a standout home inspector, this is your guy. I will absolute use him again.

He walked us through the process, and made it so much easier than I had anticipated. He's extremely knowledgeable and was amazing when it came to explaining what needed to be done right away, and what could wait a bit before tending to. We feel confident moving into our home, knowing we had Steve check it out first. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector. **Update** We recently had our steam boiler replaced and updated, and I let me tell you - I am so grateful for how Steve walked us through the ins and outs of our basement during the inspection! We felt confident when requesting quotes and knew just what to ask for. I felt compelled to add this tidbit and again touch on how thorough Steve was, and that I would be happy to recommend him for any home inspection!!!

Their designer (Tong) helped us with a plan to combine two small awkward rooms into one bathroom and worked within our budget to give us a much more functional space. Work started as scheduled with Steven as our PM and he kept us well informed along the way, handling any issues as they arose and minimizing disruption to the rest of the house. The NKB carpenters (Michael and Jorel) were excellent and kept things moving onsite along with some great subcontractors for plumbing, electrical and tile that Steven aggressively coordinated to ensure the project progressed quickly. The end result was better than we hoped and we only had one small change order for a late change we made to the plan. We truly appreciated the professionalism and flexibility of the whole NKB team from the design process with Tong through final payment with Adelya in Finance. They kept us on schedule and on budget with no surprises. We now have a beautiful bathroom that we will enjoy for years to come!
