He performed a diligently detailed inspection of the 100+ year old home alongside my realtor, and called me immediately following to give me his high level thoughts. When I received the report, I was even more impressed. It grouped items into repair/replace, ongoing maintenance, and future improvements. He nicely incorporated technology to provide heat sensitive photos for the radiators and 360 degree photos of the whole home. Following, he's since entertained my husband and I's seemingly unending questions with grace and knowledge. Our realtor, who I assume sees this function all the time, noted that she is going to start referring clients to him because she was so impressed. Thank you, Joe!

Recently heard horror stories from friends about other Home Inspectors, so I went into my first home Inspection a bit skeptical. Joe who was my inspector a few days ago, made sure that I was informed about all of his findings. He didn't just point them out but also educated me on why it was a finding, how to monitor the finding, and also necessary repairs/replacements to request from the seller. After receiving my inspection reports (just a little over 24 hours after the physical inspection!) I was even more amazed by how thorough the report was. If this is your first home inspection or you just don't know what to look for, Joe and his team will make sure you do. Great service at a great price!

Ryan (from Protec) provided the most thorough and professional home inspection I've ever had (and…read moreI've had many homes inspected). I was impressed with the time he took to conduct the inspection so that each of the elements of our prospective home could be carefully evaluated. This inspection was also followed up with a comprehensive inspection report which described all areas evaluated with recommended actions, as needed. Also noteworthy is that ProTec Is one of the few inspection services that uses a continuous radon monitor to evaluate radon levels. Far superior and much more tamper resistant than the typical charcoal canisters which are used by most other inspection services. In short, Protec (Ryan) is highly recommended.

We were able to use his detailed report to guide our negotiation with the seller which made the transaction easier to complete.

First off you…read moremight notice if you speak to them at the office or read up on the company that Shane is the only inspector, this is not a corporate business - this means savings! Shane beat the prices of the two other inspectors I requested quotes from and I was even able to get the infrared imaging to check the walls for moisture and whatnot. The inspection itself was super thorough, the inspection report was also very detailed and you can see a sample report on his website of what you will be getting from him. You can even create a list of items using the website the report is on and it is very easy to do, which you can send to the seller to request to be fixed before you agree on the price. We ended up saving a lot of time and money by sending this list over to the seller. Shane really looked into every crevice of the home, and by walking around with him he gave us some very good advice about what will cost a lot to fix and should be done professionally, and what we could probably do ourselves very cheaply. He also gave us some information in general that would be nice to know about your new home, such as pointing out where the electrical panels and water shutoff valves are. We even got a little book at the end about being a home-owner and things you should know when you own a home. We had actually been able to view two inspection reports on the same home from previous buyers that fell through, and Shane's inspection report caught a lot more things than the other two reports. If for some reason we ever need an inspector in the future we know we will call Shane first.

He was tremendous in taking time to answer our questions -- how to fix something / does it need fixing / ballpark cost -- and never seemed annoyed that we were asking so many questions. He diligently went about his business checking exterior features, observing, poking, and prodding to find soft spots in the wood and taking pictures where appropriate. We continued inside, and he was just as diligent, taking time to inspect each aspect of our new home, from air/heat/electrical/plumbing/walls/oven/lighting/windows/attic/crawlspace/etc.. He also coordinated a wood-destroying insect (termite) inspection for us, as well as providing a radon test. Throughout the process, we felt informed and comfortable, knowing Neil was very detailed in his observations. We are grateful that he took more time than we expected and did such a thorough job. His follow-up report left us with an actionable plan, along with cost estimates for all of the things he noticed. Just like the inspection itself, the report was very thorough. We confidently recommend Neil and Inspections Unlimited if you're looking to get a home inspection.

We had a stucco inspection on our home completed by Tom Southwell of Inspection Professionals on…read moreMay 21, 2021. At the time we were prospective buyers and were very concerned about a crack in the stucco of the pop-out of our row-home. After a $400 stucco inspection Tom's recommendations on an official report were: "Based on the feel of the sheathing and the moisture measurements, no action is necessary at or to the stucco." We were quite relieved and moved forward with the purchase of our home. Fast-forward to March 2022, ten months later. We saw water leaking down from the stucco after a storm and out of concern called in another company for an inspection. This inspection company found severe water damage using the same inspection methods that Tom supposedly used. The new inspector had enough concern that he warned us that we were likely in for a huge repair that would potentially entail going all the way down to the studs of our home. He also let us know that based on the spots Tom chose to check, he would not have gotten a proper reading and definitely did not know how to do a stucco inspection. In addition, he reiterated that there was absolutely no way that this happened in the ten months between the two inspections, this had most definitely been present when Tom came to our property. I have attached photos of the damage for reference as well as our stucco inspection report from Inspection Professionals. This ended up a $40,000 repair on a house we would have never purchased if we had a proper stucco inspection by someone that knew what they we're doing in the first place. I spoke to the owner of inspection Professionals, Steven Hunn , and his answer to this issue was to try to have us sign paperwork to keep our mouths shut (an NDA of sorts that he wanted notarized) and receive our $400 back from the initial inspection. We obviously declined. He also tried to use the gap mentioned above the door in our report as defense that they recommended something. This was nowhere near the stucco, was easily repaired by our contractor with a single piece of wood, and had absolutely nothing to do with the stucco. If I were you I wouldn't risk using their services. If nothing else I hope that this review can keep a few people away from this company and save you from the terrible consequences of a negligent inspection.

However, based on my experience, a lot of what was included in the report felt exaggerated, and some of the estimated repair costs were nowhere close to reality. They recently inspected my home and identified multiple areas of concern that ultimately scared off a potential buyer. Afterward, I contacted multiple qualified contractors to evaluate and address those same issues. We found that many of them were relatively minor, and several contractors were genuinely surprised by the scope and estimated costs presented in the inspection report. In some cases, issues presented as potentially costing thousands of dollars ended up being fixes costing only a few hundred dollars. I completely understand that an inspector's job is to identify potential problems and protect the buyer. My issue is with how those problems were characterized. There is a big difference between pointing out an area that should be evaluated by a professional and presenting a worst-case repair scope or cost estimate that may unnecessarily alarm a buyer--especially a first-time homebuyer. The inspection also ran approximately 45 minutes beyond the three-hour window we had scheduled. That may sound minor, but when you've made arrangements to have kids and pets out of the house, it creates an unnecessary inconvenience. Overall, the inspection was unquestionably thorough. Unfortunately, in my experience, it crossed the line from thorough into overkill, with several issues appearing significantly more serious and expensive in the report than they ultimately proved to be. Based on my experience as the homeowner, I would not recommend this company, particularly to real estate agents looking for an inspector who provides a thorough but proportionate assessment of a property.
