I highly recommend Jason with Bald Eagle Inspection services. The entire experience has been…read moreexcellent from first contact to receiving the final inspection report. Prior to the inspection, I had a few questions and Jason called me and took his time addressing my concerns. I didn't feel rushed and he was very friendly and put me at ease. My husband and I were not able to attend the inspection, but I felt totally comfortable with that after speaking with him. Our realtor raved about him and she was absolutely right to rave. He did a very thorough job inspecting the house and he called us that night to discuss it, and even sent us the final report the same day, despite it being late in his time zone. When he called us to discuss it, he took his time explaining his findings and answering our questions. We did not feel rushed at all. He is very friendly and personable and easy to talk to. The report was quite detailed and contained a lot of photos which I appreciated. I felt that I had a much better understanding of the condition of the house and I feel confident proceeding with the purchase. Jason made a potentially stressful experience very easy and smooth. This will be our fourth house purchase and he has been the best inspector that we have worked with by far, please do not hesitate to use his service!

I hired Jason's company when I was getting episodes of nausea and fatigue that the medical…read morecommunity in Albany couldn't diagnose. Jason came with impressive scientific equipment and determined that there were high mold levels COMING FROM OUTSIDE my apartment building. We looked at the results together (two species of non-toxic mold) and with a few air purifiers I was free of that issue.

Albany Mold is in my view the shadiest business I've encountered since purchasing my home. The…read moreowner seemingly had no clue what he was doing. I would steer clear of this business (and beware that they have multiple aliases - e.g. Schenectady Mold and a few others). I contacted them in September 2021 for a mold issue that developed simultaneously in three bathrooms on the second floor, two of which were never used, and the third of which hadn't been used for months prior. Clearly, some investigative work was required. The owner, Adam, showed up himself with nothing but a flashlight and a ladder. He looked at the involved ceilings and looked in the attic (tasks I had performed myself) and within an hour had several explanations, none of which were based on anything that could be observed on inspection, and some of which were contradictory to one-another. Some of his recommendations were outright ridiculous - such as turning the bathroom fans on periodically, even when they're not being used. It was clear in my mind that he had little more than a layperson's knowledge of the issue, and at one point during the visit I actually wondered if I was being scammed. His $350 fee would have been reasonable, but as he had no rational answers whatsoever, I (politely) questioned it as I wrote the check. He took offense to this, and two days later sent me a rather nasty e-mail stating that he would not issue a mold assessment and would return my check. Not surprisingly, the check was not returned in over a week and I was forced to block it. In summary, it is my view that Albany Mold is not a competent business, and as a side issue, its owner has some issues with professionalism.

Ed Wagner is a consummate professional. In researching home inspectors, Wagner Inspection rose to…read morethe top after reviewing the glowing online reviews on Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. He recently inspected a home I planned to purchase in western Mass. Throughout the entire process, from our initial phone conversation, the onsite inspection, to his follow-up outreach after receipt of the thorough home inspection report, Ed strived to ensure that I felt secure that he held my best interests as his highest priority. He truly works for the prospective homebuyer and not the agent. Ed is an educator at heart. He teaches homebuying workshops for first time homebuyers in the area, and this propensity to inform shines through during his inspections. He explained every aspect of the inspection to me in detail, regularly asking if I had questions or needed clarification. He not only explains the what, but the why and the how when examining the home. He takes pictures of all high-level inspection findings to include in the report and he categorizes findings by "note," "repair,' "upgrade," "maintenance," "aged." The points of concern he highlighted during the inspection significantly influenced the final home purchase decision. If the next home I purchase is within Ed's geographic range, he will be the first person I call when I need home inspection services again!

CD was the project manager and he did an amazing job keeping me informed and making sure the work was getting done as quickly and competently as possible. I felt at ease that he was in charge. Tony and Anthony were also diligent on the work site. Joelle the owner was easy to get in touch with and helped me with any questions or concerns that I had. They are a top notch company and I would highly recommend them if you ever need a company to monitor air quality for vermiculite removal. The only glitch was that there was a little confusion at the beginning of the process of getting the two companies to work together. I'm not sure why happened but other than that I thought that Ambient did a great job . I would highly recommend them.

Greg inspected our new home in August 2023 and I can't express how disappointed we are. He told me…read morenot to take notes because he included everything in his report. He did not--the report was short and omitted most of the useful maintenance notes I've relied on with past home purchases. He said the stove top was working. It's induction, which means it only works if you have a metal pan--he didn't have a pan! He suggested we change a furnace filter ... but omitted the detail that the filter was FOUR YEARS old. And didn't check the other two filters, which were 4 and 5 years old and mostly dust and mildew. The biggest problem he missed? A part in the furnace was cracked and leaking water, which meant the furnace is almost dead. My service tech caught that and we are buying a new furnace. If Greg had done his job, we would have asked the sellers to pay for it. They broke it by not replacing filters. He also didn't tell us the dishwasher and washing machine were almost dead. The water here is very hard (calcium) and the water softener he said was working fine was broken and turned off. The dishwasher and washing machine were full of the white residue from calcium. We already bought new appliances and are putting in a water softener system. Greg's poor quality report cost us thousands. Was he working for the seller or is he incompetent?
