I cannot recommend this company. They inspected my home in end of May 2016. Said in the report that…read morethe central A/C was working. When I moved in the middle of June, after driving across country, it was 100degrees in Rio Rancho and the A/C did not work from the moment I stepped into the home. The fan worked but NO COOL AIR! It took seven days for the A/C to finally get serviced and for me to find out that there was no freon in the A/C. Not only that but they missed reporting a very important issue with the home. The master shower plumbing did not connect to the drain pipe. Looking down, you could see that there was a good inch gap in which water was not being funneled into the drain but was running down onto the foundation. I had several quotes from contractors who wanted to pull apart the shower and charge thousand of dollars to fix. How could a home inspector miss such a thing? For me, I found it very easy to spot. The very first time I stepped into the shower, I found a plug in the shower drain - not a tub, mind you, but a free standing shower. Instead of the normal shower cover that attaches to the proper plumbing, there was a metal ring in the opening where there should have been the usual shower drain cover (see attached photos). In my opinion, this should have been a clue to ANY home inspection that something was amiss but somehow, in the home inspection report, there was no mention of a plug covering an open drain or a missing shower cover or that upon inspection, water was running around the drain onto the foundation under the master shower, I called Mike and also sent an email. I wanted him to show up, see the problem and explain exactly how they missed this. He called back once to say that he was on his way over and would be there in 15 min. I was not home and missed that call. I emailed him after that including photos of the shower drain. No response ever again. Not an email in response to my email, not another phone call, nada. Had he gotten back to me and at least tried to offer proof that the A/C had been working at the time of inspection (other than just his statement in the report) or an explanation about the shower situation, I probably would not be writing this review. But, he didn't.

I cannot express how impressed my husband and I are with Mike!

A&R squeezes in 6-7 inspections a day where Mike only books 2!! This assured us that we would receive a thorough and appropriate length inspection instead of a rushed one (A thorough inspection should be at least 3 hours). I had done some research on A&R and read some horrible reviews. Mike was referred to us by a coworker of mine and it was by far the best decision to change inspectors and go with Enchantment Home Inspections! Mike's inspections last about 3 hours if not more. He thoroughly checks everything, takes pictures and creates a binder containing pictures and descriptions of your home. Additionally he will provide you with a homeowners manual so you can learn proper care for your home. This is our first home and I wanted to feel secure in the decision of purchasing it. Mike was able to provide that sense of security! Thank you so much Mike!!

Who knows what unpleasant surprises could be lurking in your attic, basement or framework? Only a…read moretrained home inspector can alert you to the potential threats and problems in your house. Hire Fireman Home Inspections to conduct a thorough inspection of your home so you don't have to worry about if the random person you just hired is actually going to do a good job. Whether you're preparing to put your house on the market or looking to buy a new home, you should get the property inspected right away by the best people, not just the cheapest which could cost you time and money down the line if not done right the first time. No one wants to buy a house full of issues, and I will recommend Fireman Home Inspections every single time. This is the second time I've worked with Lee Carns in a year on two different houses and he's the best professional you could hire for the job. You want someone that is going over the entire house with an infrared device that can see everything wrong behind the walls. You want someone actually testing every appliance, device, outlets and more. You want someone that's actually giving you feedback every step of the way. You want someone that's actually going to give you good house advice on how to maintain the house for the future. I'm telling you, I'm not a paid promoter, I'm not an auto generated AI bot review... I'm a real house-buyer on the other side of this screen right now telling you to use this company and spread the word to everyone that these are the people you want taking care of your inspections if you want the job done right and can trust the report was as thorough as can be. I might even just hire Lee once a year just to give me an updated run down of my house to make sure everything is in order. Six out of five stars!

He went very quickly and missed some BIG plumbing issues, and electrical issues. I'm glad I got a home warranty or I would be starving. The inspector, himself, is nice enough. He just seems to not like people or be very fond of being educational. He kept his mask on, that's a plus! If you're a 1st time homebuyer then you need someone who will slow down and go over things with you. This is not that guy/company. You cannot show up early to a home inspection to find the inspector has started without you, and he did this both times. I don't know if he was having a bad day or what, but he saved me from the 1st house with a thorough inspection, but for this 2nd house he FLEW through the inspection-- leaving me buying a home with a broken garbage disposal, water shut off valve that did not work, hot water heater malfunctioning, and MULTIPLE electrical outlets either did not work or were broken in full. While the report just states "slow draining" the problems were FAR WORSE. Add to it that pest control goes through the company, and the pest control folks will NOT release the findings to you directly-- you have to go through A-Pro to get them. So when this family ran company (the mother) decides she will "get back to you" when she is ready... and that "ready" never comes, it can negatively affect your purchase of a home. It's sad that my 1st inspection & communication with this company was an A+ and then the 2nd time around they totally dropped the ball. That lack of sound customer service is too dangerous in the housing market. Rushing through an inspection on hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment is not good business practice. If you go with A-Pro be sure to get a home warranty.

The inspector, Danny, was in a rush and also missed a lot of other obvious things that were clearly visible including a crack on the roof above our patio. Now, our daughter's nursery is quarantined off and we live in constant fear of what else they missed. So much for their "120 day guarantee" that they will give you peace of mind and fix what they didn't catch the first time. The owner is retired from his previous line of work and is just trying to make extra money at something he clearly doesn't know how to do. They are terrible. I can't stress that enough. All they know how to do is tell you if a light switch turns on or off. Literally. They don't know anything that you don't know already. Anything more than telling you if a faucet turns on is apparently too much for them to handle and out of the scope, they say, of what they do. Don't work with them ever under any circumstance. It's $800 or more down the drain. Awful, awful, awful company and terrible service. They never take responsibility for anything and don't accept fault when they messed up multiple times in a major, life-threatening way.

A huge kudos to Allied Home Inspection Services!…read more We are in the process of building a 3,800 square foot home and our builder was adamant that the home was move in ready. We had expressed our concerns to our builder with the electrical and plumbing. Who would think that one needs to hire a home inspection for a new home? We were reluctant and concerned, but we immediately reached out on Yelp in search of a certified home inspector within the Albuquerque region. Donovan OBrien (owner of Allied Home Inspection Services) responded within five minutes of receiving the Yelp notification. Not only did he respond, Donovan made himself available to perform a home inspection on a Sunday (Mother's Day) nonetheless. He knew that we were in dire need of this inspection, as the builder was adamant that the home was move in ready. Donovan conducted a thorough home inspection and uncovered "significant" issues with the roof, electrical, and plumbing areas that he documented in a comprehensive inspection report on this same day. Donovan discovered our house was not in compliance with the NM building code requirements, and he took the time to thoroughly explain the deficiencies of our new home. Even though our builder had the NM Construction Industries Division (CID) conduct its final home inspection and issue the occupancy permit, we are ensuring that our builder addresses all home deficiencies/issues as we would rather be safe than sorry. I give Allied Home Inspection Services an A+ (5 stars) rating highly recommending future customers contact this company for a home inspection.

Within a few weeks we had a water leak from the A/C unit in the garage. Had the unit fixed and was advised that the unit has been leaking for well over several months and that this should have been caught during the home inspection. Had the damaged area inspected and guess what?... we got mold. 6,500 dollars/1 week with out hot water, furnace during the winter getting the water damage and mold fixed. Also found that we have water and mold damage under the kitchen sink that's been there a long time. Got a rough estimate on that and it's going to be even more to fix. All of this should have been found during the home inspection which has been stated by several different contractors I'm using to fix the problems. If I would have known about all of this we would have not purchased this home. Not happy with this service. Please look elsewhere for your home inspection needs.

Summary: I do not recommend AC Home Inspections. Albert is a nice guy with good intentions but…read moremissed 3 major red flags that ended up costing us close to $10,000 in repairs. He took no ownership of the issues and after offering to refund the inspection fee he went back on his word and did not give the refund (a small pittance in comparison to the repair costs). Long: My home was originally inspected back in January of 2019 with a projected closing of February 2019. I choose AC Home Inspections due to the generally favorable reviews. Albert's price was a good bit higher than other inspectors I researched, and I incorrectly associated that premium price with premium inspection services. If you have a tile roof look elsewhere; Albert will not walk on tile. For reference, the inspector I used for my prior home was all-inclusive and cost a couple hundred bucks cheaper. If he was available, I would have used him again. The inspection seemed fairly normal based on what I had experienced in 2 previous home purchases. I did notice that it went a bit more quickly than my prior inspections. There wasn't anything significant noted in the report that led me to believe I would expect any issues. I know inspectors can't catch everything but there is a basic level of thoroughness a customer can expect. The only thing of note was a water stain on the kitchen ceiling that looked like it occurred from an old leak. This was actually spotted my realtor and added to the report by Albert after it was pointed out to him. The issues began a few months after we moved in. The first thing we noticed was that the bathtub in the "renovated" master bathroom leaked down to living room below. This was found by simply filling up the bathtub and letting it sit for a few minutes. The leak was almost instantaneous. In previous home inspections, the inspector has filled up the bathtub and let it sit for a while to check for leaks. Albert didn't do this simple test. Once that leak was found, we noticed that there was a big circular patch in the ceiling below that was not noted in the report. This patch is pretty obvious and tells me that the leaks had been present for some time. We thought the issue might be related to the drain so decided to stop using the tub until it was figured out. Next, while the bathtub saga was ongoing, we noticed during the first big rain in July that there was a pretty big leak from the roof above the kitchen (where my realtor noted the stain). Technically since it was in the report I can't complain about that specific leak. However, after a few days in a row of heavy rain we noticed another leak above the master bedroom closet. This is directly above where the attic access panel is located. During the inspection Albert did stick his head up into the attic and look around. When I went to track down the source of the leak, I saw obvious, old water staining on the underside of the sheathing directly next to the attic entry. There was also a purpose cut piece of fiberglass insulation placed underneath the leak location so that it would "soak up" the water and not leak below. Well, once it rained hard enough to soak through the insulation, we became aware of the issue. This leak location is right on the edge of where the tile and shingles (for a roof mounted swamp cooler) sits. The exterior of the house also shows stucco work which leads me to believe the swamp cooler float had been leaking consistently which originally caused this issue. I ended up speaking with my next-door neighbor and he confirmed exactly that. To recap, for this leak Albert missed the following: Obviously damaged sheathing visible directly from the attic opening, fiberglass insulation placed directly underneath the damaged sheathing, and exterior signs of stucco repair in the same location. Wait there's more, we continued to use the master shower for a few more months until we noticed that it too was leaking to the floor below. Guess where it was leaking? Directly where that patch in the ceiling existed. At this point (around September '19) I decided I needed to cut into the ceiling myself and figure out where the leak was coming from. I cut two holes into the ceiling where the drains for the shower and bathtub were located. I ran both to try and figure out where the leaks were coming from and unfortunately figured out that the drain was not the issue. The bathtub was leaking through the tub itself and the shower was leaking through the pan. Repairs: I ended up getting a roofing company to fix the roof issues to the tune of ~$2,000. For fun, I had them first check the roof from inside the attic just as Albert would have seen it. The guy spotted the issue right away. Next, I had a plumber check out the shower and tub. He noted incorrect installation techniques (raised floor) and stated that it was an obvious DIY job that he wouldn't touch. In the end I had a contractor rip up the entire shower/tub and rebuild it. After it was torn out, we could
