Professional. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Hard-working. Efficient…read more If these are qualities you are looking for in a company to repair or replace your gutter system and/or roof, look no further! Pittsabana's team is all of this and more! From the first call to receive a free estimate through to completion, Maria, Ivan and the Pittsabana team were a pure delight to work with. Their knowledgeable and professional service made the potential headache of major home repairs dissolve. I initially contracted Pitttsabana to remove the ineffective box gutters from my 1900 home that had been poorly repaired in what some might call a 'fix and flip'. I called for the estimate on a Friday of a holiday weekend and Ivan showed up first thing Monday morning to take drone imaging of the gutters in order to provide the most accurate estimate. I was provided two estimates: one to repair the existing box gutters and another to remove them and install a seamless aluminum gutter system. In the end, I chose the second. However, upon removing the box gutters, Ivan' team gained access to the attic for the first time as I have no internal access and discovered considerable water damage, NO Insulation, and shingles slapped on top of other shingles to hide the actual state of the roof!! (No wonder my gas/electric bills were so high!) Ivan contacted me immediately with images and knowledge of how to go about fixing the roof, and again I was provided with multiple options to choose from. Ivan was willing to come to the house and patiently walk me through my options, explaining the differences between the plans, as much of this was new to me. This allowed me to pick the plan that best fit both my aesthetic and my budget! Ivan's team arrived early every day, worked diligently, and adapted their work schedule to meet the needs of my family (ending earlier than they otherwise would have one day). They thoroughly cleaned the area every day to ensure that my yard was safe for my dogs. AND they went above and beyond, fixing some 'poorly flipped' items they discovered along the way! By the time all was said and done, I have a functioning gutter system, a STUNNING new roof with proper ventilation, properly lined and capped chimneys, and a crew I would consider friends! 20/10!

He entertained all of my extraneous questions as well. I highly recommend attending the home inspection with Tim! His previous construction expertise, combined with his home inspection experience and friendly demeanor, made for an extremely smooth and enjoyable process. I received his inspection report quickly and while certainly comprehensive, it was still very easy for a lay person to follow. I feel much more confident in my home purchase having hired O'Leary Home Inspections. (I did elect to have the radon & pest inspections done at the same time).

Well, here's one more because Tim is a rockstar. My wife and I are first time homebuyers and the process of finding a quality inspector was daunting to say the least. I found Tim as a recommendation on a Pittsburgh Reddit post. Having worked in sales for over 20 years, his website was what sold me initially. "When - and if - you speak to my competitors, you'll notice some of them practice the "High Pressure Sales Pitch." They'll dance around your original question: "HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE." They don't want to let you off the phone until they've made a sale. I don't believe in that: I'll answer ALL of your questions, and if you want to call me back later, that's fine with me." Tim was very communicative about the process, offered discounts for bundling inspections and paying cash. The day of he explained everything thoroughly as neither of us know anything about the structure and quality of a house. His report was color coded and very detailed. We knew what was urgent, what needed to be fixed in the future, and what would be normal upkeep. He answered every one of my questions and was patient with me. It is beyond evident that Tim loves what he does and that shows in his work. He didn't scare us but rather prepared us. He also recommended Joe Blume for a sewer and drain inspection and we trusted recommendation. They are a great team and we're so glad we trusted them to help us with this process. We're glad we could support a small business owner and if we ever buy another house, Tim will definitely be our go-to inspector. Don't think twice, Tim is THE inspector you want. THANK YOU, TIM!!

My wife and I hired Andy Griffin to inspect our home, which we were planning to buy after renting…read moreit for a few years. As we had been living in the house (an old house in Bloomfield) for some time, he offered us a fresh perspective, which we valued immensely. He informed us of some issues that we were unaware of (such as an old electrical line coming into our meter from the street, loose roof shingles, etc.) that should be addressed. This provided us with a helpful starting point for setting up a schedule of necessary home improvements. Andy took his time to answer all of our first-time home buyer questions and impressed me with his knowledge of the construction, electrical, and plumbing trades. He walked our house during the Covid pandemic, and followed all proper safety procedures. We added on a pest check sub-contracted through Griffin that was fast and thorough (and luckily revealed no termites). We were able to schedule an appointment within a week, despite a crowded schedule, at a very reasonable rate, and received the inspection report within a few days. Andy was professional, friendly, and efficient. I would highly recommend him for your home inspection needs.

I'm a curious person, so I asked LOTS of questions throughout the inspection and Andy was very generous and patient in explaining his inspection to me. He is knowledgeable about Pittsburgh-area homes and what to look for based on the time period in which a home was built. Our home was built in the early 1900's and he talked us through how our basement and home structure was a product of that era and what we could do to best maintain it. His inspection was thorough and we received a well-organized, detailed report on the home within about two days. He communicated very well throughout the process and really helped put us at ease about the home we are purchasing. I would recommend him to anyone!
