We hired Rick to do a pre-purchase home inspection of a resale property in Sun City. He was quick…read moreto respond to my inquiry and schedule the inspection. The inspection was extremely thorough. His report arrived less than 2 days after the inspection (1 of the days was a holiday), so technically the report arrived within 24 hours of the inspection. The report was detailed and photo's provided of each area of the home inspected. The seller and her dog were at home throughout the inspection which isn't typical, but he gained her trust and was able to complete the inspection. Rick is your go-to guy if you want a thorough unbiased inspection of your home in the Hilton Head area. He works for you! Don't hesitate to call him for your next home inspection.

Mr. Hopkins performed a home inspection on house that I am under contract in Sun City and provided some level of detail that would make any buyer feel they received their moneys worth. The issue is he indicated that my 2 year old AC was not performing to the Manufacture's specifications. I then paid a Carrier Certified Licensed Technician to perform a "qualified" assessment. The Carrier Certified Tech found no issues and the unit was performing to SPEC. THE AC Tech indicated that its happens quite often when a NON Qualified wanna be HVAC impersonator tries to impress their clients with bogus results. STICK to what you know ...

My experience with Ed And Pillar to Post was superior to all other inspections. Ed's inspection took about three and a half hours to complete for a 3100sq ft home and I feel that he was exceptionally thorough. I accompanied him through the inspection and he was very happy to describe the various features of the property, to point out each of his areas of concern, as well as to describe key maintenance points that I should be aware of. I received the written inspection report the same day as the inspection. The inspection was thorough with clear write-ups of each area of concern or noted defect. All noted defects were accompanied by photographs in the report. I have already scheduled a follow up inspection with Ed at my one year anniversary. I highly recommend Ed for any home purchase inspection.

We sell to many out-of-town buyers, and it is a shame when the inspectors report items as not working when, in fact, they do. Not only is this stressful to the buyers, but I have found that sellers have to pay for a contractor visit for items that are in working order. Having worked with numerous inspectors and having closed over 700 properties, I wouldn't recommend this company.

Being from out of town, I used online reviews and social media to search for a home inspector…read more Walter Henegar is the owner of Playing It Safe Home Inspections and called quickly once I'd clicked on the "request quote" button online. He was very nice and mentioned that he trained most of the home inspectors in the HHI/Bluffton area. He was just relocating from Columbia area to Sun City. I liked the fact that he was using a drone to assist with his inspections. My realtor was not familiar with him and had recommended 3 other inspectors who were familiar with my plantation and the homes there. I was not present for the home inspection, but my realtor was there to attend. His report was written from a standard template in a way that showed what typical procedure is with many disclaimers and limitations of inspection. The report seemed typical of a trainer with limited amounts of detail. The picture of the front of the home which was used as the title page for the report actually included his car parked in the driveway. He did not use the drone for my inspection which I found disappointing. He didn't even go onto the roof or use binoculars for inspection. What he mentioned in the report is that roof leaks can only be detected after prolonged rain. He mentioned the dishwasher needed to be repaired which we learned was in perfect condition and only 3 years old. He never mentioned the age of the hot water heater and used a picture of the entire heater instead of the detailed serial number. He didn't check the smoke alarms but mentioned that they should be changed every 5 years. His report stated my flooring was carpet and vinyl which had me question the home I actually was interested in purchasing. I learned the floors were actually ceramic tile. I don't know if he checked the electrical outlets, but if he did, he didn't catch the fact that 2 of the outlets were not secured into the wall and were loose. His report includes an entire page devoted to Limitation of Liability. Previous home inspections I was involved with had more pictures and detail in areas such as plumbing and electrical. This was a visual inspection only. I guess I wasn't aware there are different types of inspections. He noticed items such as rust on the door thresholds and outdoor light bulbs out. I'm not even sure if he brought a ladder. Not being present, I'm dependent on the inspection report and my realtor's professional comments.

I am a remote buyer, meaning that I live in New York but am buying place in Savannah and flew in for the inspection. I am also very handy when it comes to home repairs and maintenance. However, I still learned a lot just by following Dave around as he did the inspection. He was relentless, crawling in the tiniest spaces, pulling off panels, opening and closing all the windows. There is just one more thing to say, Dave is an honest guy who takes his work very seriously. I asked him for a recommendation for a contractor to do some painting and other small jobs, and he said that would be a conflict of interest if he recommended people. That shows a lot of integrity and that, above all, is what is important.

We do one inspection a day and spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours on the property and another 3 hours composing the report. As a home buyer, it's important to know that in our beautiful state of Georgia, the home inspection industry is completely unregulated. Anybody with a flashlight can, and do, declare themselves to be a home inspector. Flashlight optional. Look at the individuals level of knowledge, relevant experience, and the experience that others have had with them to be sure you'll get a thorough and competent inspection covering all aspects of the property.
