He was prompt, friendly, and EXTREMELY helpful in testing for mold, but also in reviewing the overall shoddy work of the contractor.

We walked through the house and not only did Ed perform the testing but he also brought up some areas which could be potential problems.

My experience with Tim far exceeded my expectations. As a first-time homebuyer, Tim put my mind at…read moreease. He was extremely thorough and ensured that I understood his assessment at each step. 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!!

Randy Payne was known for his thoroughness and the accuracy of his reports, and we were buying a house remotely and needed an honest and thorough eval. We let him know that there was a tight timeline toward closing on the house, and he jumped right on it, which was appreciated. We could tell that by the report we got, which made us very comfortable, knowing what parts of the house needed addressing, but also which parts we didn't have to worry about at all. That paved the way for the purchase with a lot less anxiety. So we'd highly recommend Randy Payne and his inspection service.

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!

We were very pleased with his attentiveness and he made sure that we had all of our questions answered. Our inspection report was processed and downloaded within 1 business day (minus the radon test--which takes a few days). We were very happy with the timelines of the process. There is also an online portal through which you can schedule, sign contract agreements, and view your inspections. And, if you have trouble with anything, you can reach out them through via email, which is usually responded to quickly. VBInspect came highly recommended to us, and we're happy to highly recommend them to anyone else.

His first words after introducing himself were "Are there any areas or items that you have specific concerns regarding?" Time was taken to explain each step of the process as we moved through the home. All of my questions were answered confidently and truthfully, even if it's not what I wanted to hear. The positive interaction with Inspectioneering makes me wish he was available throughout the home buying process, not just the inspection. This is someone you want in your corner. Bob, I truthfully thank you for taking the time to walk me through my future home, sharing your professional insights, and putting my family and I at ease.
