On July 25, 2026, I hired Fred Stinard of Fred Stinard Inspections to perform a crawl-space inspection at my home in Milford, CT, to verify encapsulation work. I paid $225 in cash for the inspection.
Mr. Stinard repeatedly told me that he would provide a written inspection report. I followed up with him multiple times, and each time I was led to believe that the report would be provided. Despite those repeated assurances, I never received the report. He ultimately stopped responding to my texts altogether.
After being repeatedly ignored, I sent a certified written demand requesting the report. That letter also went unanswered.
I also checked the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection's licensing records and found that license number HOI.0000921 was not valid on the date of my inspection. As of the date of this review, the license still shows as invalid.
This is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I paid for an inspection and was repeatedly promised a written report, but received neither the report nor any meaningful communication afterward. The fact that I had to repeatedly chase a professional for something I had already paid for--and was ultimately ghosted--is unacceptable.
I am posting this review so prospective customers can make an informed decision. I strongly recommend verifying the inspector's current Connecticut license status before hiring and getting all promised services and deliverables clearly documented in writing. read more
