Dave Polo is the worst inspector I have ever used and his reports are useless. He walked into the…read morehome and was combative from the start. He broke multiple items, then claimed that they were broken when he arrived. His recommendations are not code compliant and if the repairs had been made, the town would have issued a fine. Although he claimed to be a licensed engineer, he is NOT. He also refused to look at certain items because "it is not my job". He used the sellers ladder, refused to return it, and left items laying around. He has zero pool knowledge, very little home knowledge, his "special" reports take longer than they should, and they do not include what is needed for each town. When we received his report, it was filled with false information, lack of detail and was virtually useless. I would NEVER hire him again and recommend buyers to look at other licensed engineers.

My wife and I used Dave Polo for a pool inspection in August 2020. It was without a doubt the worst…read moreexperience we have ever had with any professional service provider. The report we received was completely unusable in our real estate transaction and provided no substantive value. We raised our questions/concerns in detail to Mr. Polo and requested a refund based on the "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" advertised on his website. In summary Mr. Polo's response was that the guarantee only applied to home inspections (full response below). He did not provide any refund. His answers to our questions were incomplete. Frankly, his responses were rather condescending given that we were trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to rectify the situation. I can also corroborate the other negative reviews below. Specifically, our "satisfaction guarantee" experience matches that of Steven M. and our overall experience was similar to Merina S. Additionally, I completely agree with points #1 (took poor notes), 2 (took few pictures and few were included in the report) & 3 (the report we received was unorganized, unclear and uninformative) made by Tommy Z. Mr. Polo's response to our refund request: "as is clearly states on my website the 100% satisfaction guarantee Pertains to Home Inspections NOT Pool Inspections. It clearly states, if you believe I have not performed a thorough inspection according to the NJ Home Inspection Licensing Act and Standards of Practice then my client would have to say that At The Inspection and therefore you would not receive a report or additional lengthy responses from me." -Aside from this information not clearly being stated on his website and apparently not applying to pool inspections, this response is fundamentally flawed. The product/service we're paying for is the report. How can a consumer make any assessment of satisfaction without first seeing the product/service (i.e. the report)? Finally, I predict that one of Mr. Polo's responses to this review will be that he does not know who I am, as he tried to state this several times in our emails. His "logic" is that my wife set up the appointment. For some reason the concept that my wife and I are a joint entity and are collaborating on this pool inspection is somehow confusing. Oh and of course Mr. Polo and I did meet at the beginning of the inspection and again at the end. I had to step away for the home inspection, but checked in and my wife was present the entire time. It is unfortunate that I had to write this review, but I hope others can avoid having such a negative experience while going through an already stressful major life event like purchasing a home.

Everything was a seamless process - from scheduling to the inspection to the quick report delivery and follow-up questions from us. John is an excellent inspector who is dedicated to his craft. He was very thorough in the inspection and delivered our 115 page report detailing all the ins and outs of the home less than a day after the inspection. He also did a great job of making sure we understood everything and the key priorities, so we didn't get overwhelmed by all the details. We were nervous about the home inspection but working with John gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that we were able to vet our home properly by a detailed-oriented and unbiased inspector! Would definitely recommend.

He then went over the key points with us and provided a detailed 95 page report with pictures and description of each and every issue, as well as a separate short 7 page summary report. I would recommend Clever Inspections to my relatives and best friends. I am sure you will be satisfied with the service. I compared prices with three other providers and Clever Inspections, though not the lowest, provided the most thorough estimate and they more than lived up to their promise. A few of the many photos provided are attached.

On top of this, once we moved in to the unit we had some questions about his findings and tips for fixing some home issues and he thoughtfully helped advise us. Value (5/5): The value and price for the service was competitive and I highly recommend him.

I'd highly recommend this company. Ricardo went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, especially given the price point.

His equipment was extensive and includes the latest and greatest technologies like a flying drone, thermal imagining camera, ground penetrating radar for oil tanks etc. He arrived much earlier than our appointed time to examine the exterior. After we arrived, he inspected every inch of the house - the roof, attic, walls, closets, appliances, cabinets, floors, crawlspace... you name it. He was very friendly and gives thorough explanations to every question you have. You really can't go wrong with him.

Phil was a great inspector from start to finish. The first time I called him he asked for a bunch…read moreof details about the house and immediately started walking us through what he will be taking a look at given the age of the house. He walked us through all of the services he provides and the cost and answered all of our questions in detail. Other inspectors gave very brief descriptions of services provided, so we felt more comfortable going with Phil. We had the general inspection, wood destroying insect, radon, sewer camera, and oil tank sweep all done through Phil. On the day of the inspection, we were half an hour early but Phil was already there looking at the exterior of the house. He explained his process and invited us to shadow him and ask questions about anything we didn't understand. He was very detailed in his inspection, and took the time to explain to us any issues that needed immediate attention. The inspection lasted almost 4 hours, which I guess is uncommon because both real estate agents thought it would only take 2 hours. We closed on the house last week and have used the report a number of times when hiring contractors. Phil pointed out some structural issues in the basement which we are now getting fixed, and are slowly working through the rest of the items in his report. His detailed report makes it easy for us to send to other contractors so they know the scope of the issue. We would highly recommend Phil for any first time homebuyer with lots of questions about their new house!

I like that he categorizes items into what needs to be Fixed immediately and what should be fixed down the line. In our case, the sellers agent was on Phil's back, almost sort of pressuring him- Phil was unbothered and focused on our questions and concerns and buyers. Would recommend Phil to anyone purchasing a home in the area and would definitely use him again if I purchased another home.

He took notes and pictures while doing the inspection. Once he finished, he told me he will send me the report within 2days. By Monday night, I received the most detailed and efficient report I had ever seen. His work by far was amazing and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. He is very reasonable and experience.
