Don't Use choice Home Inspections. Waste of money, costing me money. I expected a LOT MORE FOR THE…read moremoney. The report is long, but most of it is explaining things about parts of the house, not about the specific house he was hired to inspect. Most of the items he writes in the report "Get a Roofer, get a plumber, get an electrian, get an HVAC guy."
So I paid close to a 1,000 dollars spent; and I had to hire an electrcian, and HVAC guy and a roofer to come out and re-inspect the house and pay more money. The scope of his work, is so fast, and vague, and he won't put his own opinion in the report, so what good is it to have? Moreover, he writes in the report, "Some of the outlets aren't grounded. Some of the GFI's don't work." He doesn't test each and every outlet in house, or garage, nor did he test on outlet outside the back door that the electrician found was tripped.
He told me verbally in regards to the sewer camera scope he used: scalle it and to put a liner in it, but didn't put it in the report. He also stepped on a piece of wood in the attic instead of on the beams--as the roofer who came out after him, said he should have done, and he wouldn't have made a huge hole in the living room ceiling. He fixed the opening in the ceiling so poorly himself, instead of hiring professional drywall people, that it looks awful, you can see the taping and the mis-match in texture.
I would not use Mark at all!!!! Oh, in additioon, the seller is holding out the deposit, because of the awful patch and paint job Mark did.
