As a Realtor in Lynchburg, VA, I've worked with many home inspectors over the years--but Athena…read moreHome Inspection stands out as one of the best in the business. I've partnered with Athena on numerous transactions, and I continue to refer her to my buyers because of her thoroughness, professionalism, and the confidence she instills in my clients. Athena delivers detailed, easy-to-understand home inspection reports that help both buyers and sellers make informed decisions. She's responsive, punctual, and always willing to explain her findings in a way that makes sense--even to first-time homebuyers.

Do not.......I repeat.......DO NOT let David Perrin inspect your home! He missed so many items that…read moreI would have put in the repair amendment prior to purchasing the home. Now, I am stuck with bills fixing items that were under the assumption to have been satisfactory. He is horrible at his job.

David Perrin was hired to inspect an older home in near Grandin for my daughter. She is young and…read moretrusted his judgment. He missed so many critical items that it is hard to believe he is in business. I have made 4 unreturned phone calls to his office (he is the owner). He won't return my calls and they refuse to give me contact information where I can reach him. His oversights have cost us $4,500 and counting to include appliance replacements, plumbers, roofers, etc. He is protected because his contract says he is not responsible for anything he misses and the most a consumer is entitled to is a refund of the inspection fee. Here is a sampling of items he missed and that should have been patently obvious to anyone; you don't need to be an inspector to see most of these items: 1) Washer did not operate - inspectors are supposed to run a cycle; he did not 2) Dryer was a fire hazard and did not operate - inspectors are supposed to run a cycle; he did not 3) Roof leaked in two places - he never got on the roof to look; you could also see daylight through the attic which he also missed. 4) Plaster walls in closet were so full of moisture that they caved in at slight touch; closet boards were bowed from moisture - He never made note of this at all. 5) Roof needs replacement; it is not 12 year old architectural shingles as stated by Mr. Perrin 6) All windows are in awful shape; he only recorded that they needed to be unstuck from paint 7) HVAC works but has exceeded its life expectancy by a decade (this was noted but he confidently stated that he had seen them last much longer) 8) Kitchen sink leaks (obvious to anyone) 9) P-Trap in Bathroom was in dire need of replacement; water was turned off to sink after move in and plumber was called. The plaster wall where pipe goes through showed obvious signs of water damage. The plumber stated this leak had been going on for a long time. I would never hire NPI or DAVID PERRIN to inspect any home that I was considering purchasing.

The inspection done on my home prior to purchase was inadequate. If the thermostat in the basement…read morehad been touched it would have fallen off the wall. There was no notation of the corrosion in the sinks from acid water. Needed a water system to combat ($7000). One window was missing a spring, the air exhaust in the kitchen was archaic. Every time something was cooked on the stove all the smoke alarms would go off (needed vent above stove ($900.00). Wood under top decking was rotten and had to be replaced.The inspection was brief and amounted to a few pages. Selling my home the buyer's inspector was there for 4 hours and checked every window, every detail. He produced a small book on his evaluation. I think that there was a push from the realtor to get it passed easily.
