He was extremely diligent and thorough in his inspection, took the time to call out the highlights of what he found right after he finished. He made it very clear that he is on our team and I appreciated that greatly! He found things that a different inspector missed and gave us the best report. The report he shared allowed us to easily get requests for repairs and share the report with the seller. I am forever grateful to John and will definitely hire him again!

He is not knowledgeable (made several errors), incredibly difficult to work with, and has the temperament of a petulant child. Edit: Some red flags for future readers - 1) this is the only home inspector of the five we reached out to who required full payment BEFORE the appointment. 2) he sent the original contract at midnight the night before he cancelled and cancelled it at 6:30pm, meaning he gave us less than 18 hours to read, sign and pay for a contract. 3) Since he cancelled on us last minute, I politely asked (pleaded, even) for him to reconsider - I said I would pay and sign then, but he denied us. This guy is probably sadistic or sociopathic at the least - it seemed he took pleasure in leaving us without help. 4) There are several typos in his reply above - keep in mind that this is who will be analyzing your home and writing your 100+ page inspection report. Do you want someone of this intelligence and education level spotting potentially deadly issues in your future home?

Skye is a valued and trusted member of our vendor roster.

    I needed to replace a 50-year-old roof & two skylights on my house. I got a couple of estimates…read morethat were pretty close in price. The second estimate was from EBA Roofing. I intended to get a few more estimates, but the project manager at EBA (Manny) let me know that he really wanted the job & they could start the next day, so I decided to have them do it. The cost was $30,000.00. This was the first time I had a roof replaced, so I had a few questions about the condition of the wood under the shingles. Manny explained that any wood that needed to be replaced would be extra. I knew from previous estimates that there would be bad wood where there were leaks & there were only four areas in the house where the roof leaked. I was home during the job & I was able to see how much wood was carried up to the roof because there was only one area where a ladder was used to access the roof & it was visible from my third floor living room windows. There were 4 sheets of plywood & (at the most) 7 or 8 2x4's. When the job was completed & the final payment was due, I was presented with a bill for $7,320.00 for "Extra Wood." I was given an invoice to "explain" the extra charges - a total of 491 square feet of wood. I reminded Manny that I watched all the wood being carried up to the roof & it was nowhere near what was claimed & adding $3,367.00 to the total cost was outrageous. The price per square foot was also ridiculous. To give them the benefit of the doubt & see if they might have made a mistake when measuring the amount of wood replaced, I also discussed this issue with the owner - "Ben." Of course, he wasn't interested in reviewing it.....until I posted a review to prevent others from being ripped off; then he offered to reimburse me $1,100.00 if I deleted my review. Although that was insufficient, in the interest of resolving the issue, I agreed. Interestingly, the owner asked, "How do I know you will delete your review after I reimburse you?" I responded, "How did you know my checks for $30,000.00 would be good?" (Dishonest people often think everyone else is dishonest). I mentioned to Manny that water was flowing off one section of the roof & was getting under a door into the den. Manny recommended replacing the rain gutters in that small section and another small section above a balcony. He gave me an estimate for those two sections of rain gutters (approximately 8 ft) - $5,300.00. Pure greed! I had another company replace ALL the rain gutters (130 ft) & install 5 Downspouts (60 ft.) on my entire house for $2,195.00. When I mentioned these issues to the owner, he responded, "Well, I already fired Manny." In 2025, during rain, I noticed leaking in two areas near air conditioning vents. I thought the ducting was the problem, so I contacted the company that previously installed my air conditioner on the roof. After the technician inspected the two areas & took several photos, he explained that the leaking was caused by missing nails on the flashing around the ducts, which was the responsibility of the roofer. He said he could seal the two areas with material & it would cost $325.00. Since it was raining and EBA Roofing takes several days to respond (if they respond at all) & I didn't want more water damage in my home, I had him do the repair. On 11-15-25, I e-mailed the detailed invoice and the photos to EBA Roofing & requested reimbursement. I also mailed the entire package to EBA Roofing. I got no response. On 11-20-25, I noted more leaking - this time from the roof. I called EBA Roofing and an office employee said they "will call me back when they get a confirmation time." On 11-25-25, a technician came & said, "Uh...I forgot my ladder at my last job & I will be back in a few hours." He returned several hours later. I watched him apply some type of material on the area. He said, "If you get any more leaks, call me." I then explained the previous situation of the leaking from the flashing. I also handed him a printed copy of the detailed invoice from the air conditioning company along with more photos - (in addition to my previous e-mail and regular mailed documents & photos which were all ignored). And I reminded him that it was the third time I have provided the information without a response. He said, "I'll give them to the owner." On 12-7-25, after being ignored for almost a month, I called EBA & spoke to a technician. He said they were not responsible for the problem & I should have contacted them earlier. I reminded him that they take several days to respond & I didn't want more water damage in my house. He just kept repeating, "You should have called us earlier." 12-15-25: EBA Roofing phoned me & said "We will be there to repair all the leaks if you are nice & take down the review." Two guys from EBA checked the roof, & blamed the leaks on "My neighbor's overhanging tree branch that is dripping water on the roof." Obviously, they think their customers are stupid.

About five weeks after moving in, when we began using secondary bathrooms, we discovered plumbing failures, including faulty shut off valves and shower cartridges that only produced hot water and required replacement. We understand inspections are not warranties. However, multiple plumbing components failing shortly after occupancy raises serious concerns about the thoroughness of the inspection. When we raised these concerns, we received a call at nearly 8:00 PM stating he wanted to wrap this up. We were asking legitimate questions about systems that were marked functional. In follow up emails, he stated with certainty that everything was tested and performed as expected and that there was clearly no liability. He was not personally present at our inspection, yet the position was absolute that nothing was missed. The written response stated that all components were tested and performed as expected and that there was clearly no liability. No professional is infallible. The issue was not the possibility of a mistake, but the refusal to consider that one could have occurred. That level of certainty, without being present, is concerning. Integrity is shown through ownership and professional responsibility, not denial. Prospective clients should pay close attention not only to the inspection itself, but to how concerns are handled afterward. That often reveals more about a company's professionalism than the inspection report alone. We cannot recommend this company.

    We were purchasing a new property and needed an inspection of the home and sewer. After…read moreresearching several inspection firms, we ultimately decided to go with Elias at CR Home Inspections due to the reviews describing him as one of the most thorough professionals in the business. And indeed he was! Elias met us on an expedited schedule and he worked promptly with a deep attention to detail. He identified every little issue and gave us an extreme amount of comfort. He even fended off an annoying seller agent that ambushed him towards the end of his inspection and tried to get information on Elias' findings before he even discussed with the client (me). In summary, Elias is the best in the business and is a man of strong integrity. I highly recommend him and definitely would work with him again.

Sadly, he scheduled the wrong day and my agent went to the property and basically wasted the trip there since we had to reschedule to the next day. For me this wasn't a big deal since I didn't go out myself, but I felt bad that my agent wasted his time. Elias was very apologetic and even bought my agent a gift card as an apology. He totally owned up to his mistake and for me that speaks volumes about a person. The actual inspection was pretty good as far as I can tell, I'm not an expert on these kinds of things but the report was very detailed and had a lot of photos. He flew a drone up to the roof to take a look and even pointed out minor details like staining on the carpet that I honestly didn't catch when I saw the property myself. Seems like he used infrared to check for water leaks when inspecting the plumbing in the bathrooms and kitchen. In terms of pricing, he was one of the more expensive options but given the level of customer service he provided and the quality of the report I would say it's worth it. Overall, the experience with Elias was very positive and if I ever need inspection services again, he'll be the first I call.
