I highly recommend The HOME examiner INSPECTION SERVICES to anyone and everyone who is buying old or new. He has saved us from future problems and headaches down the road in both our health and the health of the structures and property. We genuinely believe he is one of the good guys out there and are very grateful for his quality approach and careful inspection of our home.

Jim used the information I provided to give me valuable suggestions and advice throughout the inspection. Jim was very thorough and took his time to do the inspection right. Jim was friendly, professional, and humorous. He went above and beyond and I really got my money's worth. Jim had to return to the home to inspect the furnace since the seller had forgotten to turn the gas on for testing. Jim was concerned about the age and condition of the furnace during his initial visit so he brought a furnace expert with him upon his return. The furnace expert identified a few minor problems and worked with my wife and the seller to get these items fixed on the spot. Now that's service.

I know that choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own effort. If you honor me D.Obenauf Home Inspections by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you.

It was a complete waste of 500, and to top it all off I had flown in from out of state for the inspection. The only reason that an inspector would be this purposeful in missing so many critical and dangerous things is that they are working for the seller. When I reached out for an explanation or a refund I was ignored By Scott and his boss. Hammer Home inspections were WAY more thorough (I had to hire them after this willfully BOTCHED inspection) and that's how I learned about the issues. Scott was so slow with the report I missed the ability to back out of the home so my second inspection was just so my family didn't die after we flew in. ABI services takes advantage of first time homebuyers who don't know any better. I am a first time homebuyer, a woman, a POC and a Veteran and I was absolutely abused by this company.

We followed him around as he went through his check list and began giving us tips on how to care for, or maintain certain things. Anytime we had a question about something he would always answer "If this were my home..." and that was very comforting because it helped us feel that he cared about the house that we were buying. I did come in with questions prepared, and Dave was more than willing to walk me through and concerns or thoughts he had about certain parts of the house. His report that he wrote up helped us get some things paid for by the seller before the sale so that was a great plus! I would highly recommend ABI to anybody buying a house in West Michigan.

I was very pleased with the professionalism, timeliness, cost, and overall knowledge of this company and its inspector. It was very easy for me to request an appointment online and then I received a return phone call to setup an appointment that very day. The cost was very reasonable and I did not feel pressured to add on a bunch of services that I did not feel was necessary. I was booked for an appointment within the same week. When attending the inspection I found the inspector to be extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful in making sure I understood everything he was checking for and everything that needed repairs and also was given a nice estimate as to what those repairs might cost me. This allowed me to make a well educated decision regarding the home purchase. I also was given a very clear electronic copy of my report with plenty of pictures referring to everything that was inspected. Overall, I was very pleased with this company and inspector and would definitely recommend them to others.

We've found several major issues not listed in our inspection report done by George McNees, including but not limited to a HOLE in the basement wall that goes all the way to the outside where a floor joist has completely rotted away, and a cross beam in the garage that the previous owners had Macgyver'd to stay up while part of it was also rotting away. The cross beam is so rickety that I fear for it breaking in half and crashing through the windshield of my car. On top of the major issues George didn't see, there have been several minor issues that are now my responsibility to deal with that, had I known, I would have pressured the seller to fix before purchasing. George was WAY too comfortable telling me as first time home buyer that these are just simple issues that aren't worth using as a bargaining chip in negotiations. I am livid with my experience. It was not worth the $473 I paid, now knowing I'll have to pay hundreds if not thousands of more dollars to fix things George McNees/JW didn't spot and/or lied to me about what should be my responsibility versus the seller's. Please, please, please stay away from this inspection company.
