Dan was thorough and clearly knows his trade. I really appreciate how easy him and his team made the process and the knowledge that Dan has! Pleasure working with them. read more

This is a family-business and came highly recommended. Let me enthusiastically second the recommendation. Dan, his wife, and his son all participate. My only regret is that I didn't plan on more time with Dan for the walk-through. I'm glad that I learned that tipping, while not expected, is often customary for service like this In addition to his thorough inspection and report, we benefited from his explanations, "Dutch-uncle" type advice, and education. This guy should teach classes on home ownership and maintenance. I am using a VA-loan, so he incorporated elements that he would expect the VA inspector to find. Like most inspections, he inspected the house we want to buy. He was so thorough and informative! The inspection included the essentials and during the walk-through, he advised us of things to anticipate in the years to come regarding maintenance issues. read more

PLEASE STOP & READ THIS REVIEW AND THEN DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND PICK ANOTHER INSPECTION COMPANY!!! 2 weeks moving into our new home we found out we need a new roof after we had water leaking through the wall of our master bedroom. The first roofer to show up said he could tell DRIVING UP OUR DRIVEWAY that our metal roof was improperly installed because, "there is no drip edge on any eaves or rakes which is required on ALL metal roofing." As he proceeded to inspect our roof he stopped counting all the things that indicated our roof was improperly installed and said it was "way beyond repair." The other 5 roof contractors that we had come out echoed his findings and all agreed that our roof looked like it had been installed by an amateur with little or no professional roofing experience. They said we were lucky that panels of our roof haven't blown away yet with all the recent storms because nothing is stopping the wind from getting under the panels and pulling them up off the roof. They also found that that the roof panels were cut too short on many roof lines and there are two siding panels from the side of our dormer that are MISSING and noticeable from standing in our front yard. NONE of these OBVIOUS issues were noted in our inspection report, The few things that were noted on the inspection were "routine maintenance" to tighten screws on roof and that the flashing around the chimneys looked to be insufficient. When I asked him for a ballpark estimate to repairs the things he mentioned about the roof he gave me a $1K- $1500 estimate. We are now looking at $20K-$25K to replace the roof depending on the extent of the water damage and condition of the roof under the metal panels and two layers of shingles. This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE and NO ONE should be in our position of unexpectedly needing a new roof so soon after moving especially one as obvious as ours. By failing to do his job, the inspector also prevented us from being able to negotiate with the seller before we closed. It is highly frustrating and BIZARRE that we find ourselves in this position because I thought I could trust TRI State Properties with 500+ 5 star reviews. The roofers told us that anyone with basic knowledge of metal roofs should have noticed right away that our roof had SEVERAL SERIOUS issues. What's also BIZARRE is that the seller was home during the inspection. Hmm...interesting isn't it? So many red flags in hindsight! We felt it was so important to be at the inspection that I traveled 12 hours each way from Milwaukee to Chattanooga during the winter during a PANDEMIC and spent an incredible amount of time & money to be present at the inspection exactly to avoid something like this happening. We also recently had to spend $500 to have a structural engineer come out to inspect our foundation because now we can't trust anything in our report. For perspective, our friends purchased a home a couple of months before us found themselves with a huge plumbing issue that has cost them over $30K to repair, so that is the mindset I had when attending the inspection. Even with my two pages of questions I prepared to ask about the house we still find ourselves with this huge unexpected expense. And because of the inspection agreement, our only legal recourse is for US to pay for mediation and arbitration to MAYBE get our inspection fee back. So if you find yourself in a similar situation this company will escape being held responsible in any way and you will have next to no legal recourse to get some compensation for their mistakes. I also emailed the company a few weeks ago to inform them of this issue and NO ONE reached out to us. We shall see how long it takes for them to reply to this review though. AVOID this company AT ALL COSTS and try to refrain from signing your rights away to any recourse by refusing to sign the agreement where you agree to these terms that will leave you out in the cold if something huge and completely obvious is missed because of an incompetent inspector who failed to do his job. read more

Tri- State Property inspections were an absolute joy to work with during our inspection process. They were very knowledgeable, extremely professional, and so kind. They went out of their way to make sure we knew they were available and provided amazing information when asked specific questions. We were so incredibly impressed and are grateful for their service. read more

Janet, who works in the office is very rude and unwilling to answer questions regarding the services they provide.

Dan and David did an awesome job inspecting our first home! They showed us all the problem areas and what needed to be fixed, even if we aren't going to ask for it from the seller to close on the house. They took the time to explain everything in full detail, and how it could be fixed in the most cost efficient and best way possible. They are fairly priced, very knowledgeable, and thorough. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home! As a first time home buyer they made me feel comfortable and at ease with my purchase. read more

Please read the whole review. We hired Tri-State to inspect a home we were looking into purchasing. Our 10th home so this is not our first time. The inspector (the owner) arrived 45 minutes late. We were worried so we called his office. The woman told us not to worry about it he would show up. When he arrived he demanded that my Realtor remove her sunglasses, so he could see her eyes, before he would talk to her. He also asked her what was the point of her driving a large truck. She sells in rural east TN, a car will not go to all properties. During the inspection there were several things he forgot to add to the inspection that he pointed out to me. He was to busy telling me stories about when he preached. We are devout Christians, but I cared more about the house I was about to spend 200k on. Probably the worst thing he did was that he told my 45 lb freckled faced little girl about a girl he knew that tried to use a sander to remove her freckles. This caused a few sleepless nights for my daughter. Please consider this before calling. Finally, Tri-State sold my information to solicitors. The representative from ADT told us this when we asked him where they got our information. Please keep all of this in mind when hiring a home inspector. Buyer beware. read more
