We've purchased several new construction homes before but this is the first time we decided to get…read morea home inspection. We leveraged the inspector search on the American Society of Home Inspectors website to find Chris Matteson of Accurate Home and Termite Inspections. Since we were purchasing a new construction townhouse with a mortgage guaranteed by the VA we wanted an inspector with this background, after additional research we determined Chris was the right fit for our home inspection. Chris conducted our home inspection nine days prior to closing which was after the VA appraisal. He was very thorough in his inspection and presented all the information in a clear and concise way. He also took the time to address every question or thought from us in a friendly and informative manner. Chris' report was detailed and self explanatory with pictures. His report identified 11 items we addressed with the builders agent. In addition Chris was unable to confirm the installation of upgrades (i.e., air filtration system) during his inspection. During our walkthrough the day before closing it appeared the builder resolved the items from inspection; however, we hired Chris to confirm. Chris came back a few days after our settlement to perform a Radon test and inspect the previously identified items. We received an abbreviated report regarding the items that had not been completely addressed by the builder and a comprehensive radon report. I highly recommend Chris without any hesitation. He was so easy to work with and provided absolutely outstanding service! He is very professional, understanding, cooperative and mostly knowledgeable.

On the day of the inspection, Chris did an excellent job identifying various defects and explaining how they could be repaired. What truly stood out, though, was his thoughtful approach in explaining the unfamiliar aspects of the home's features. Since we are foreigners, his detailed guidance made a huge difference. Thanks to his explanations, we could vividly imagine what a wonderful life we could build in this house. If I were to buy another house, I would absolutely ask Chris to handle the inspection again. He is incredibly professional and kind, and I deeply appreciated his support throughout the process. Writing this glowing review is the least I can do to show my gratitude for his exceptional service. Thank you, Chris! Kouta

I got a response from Mark on 05/11/24, and we talked on the phone for over 5 minutes to discuss the location of the house, the best time to do the inspection, and the prices. He was patient as I asked many questions, and I never felt rushed. We decided to the home inspection on 05/13/24. On 05/12/24, it rained very hard, and I was concerned about the new house since it is located next to a drainage system. Fortunately, Mark was doing another home inspection in the area and dropped by to take some pictures for me, mind you, I did not even ask him to do so. He just thought it was a good idea to do so since he was in the area. He sent pictures and confirmed that the basement was not affected. I appreciate this so much as it gives me a peace of mind. On 05/13/24 Mark, my realtor, and I went to the house for the home inspection. Mark is very thorough and meticulous with everything. He took his time to explain everything to me and answered all my questions. He even spent around 5 minutes on the roof to ensure there is no problem with it. He also did the radon test for me. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Mark. I highly recommend him.

Diligent Home Inspections

Absolutely terrible. We have done a lot of real estate transactions, and this was by far the most…read moreridiculous home inspection we encountered. Some of you may feel that a strict inspector is important as a buyer's advocate (in a sense), and that is reasonable... but this inspector was incompetent, and caused real problems with the transaction. You do not want that in an inspector, you want someone who will FAIRLY and CORRECTLY identify real problems. So, first of all, he noted roofing problems, so we had a professional roofer come inspect (and give estimate). His quote was, "I have never seen a case like this; it's like he made up a problem. There are no repairs needed on your roof at all." We had to get the roofer to provide a signed statement disputing inspector's claim, and had to pay for that roofer's time. Second, he did an absolutely bizarre test of the home's fifth bathroom in the basement. He turned on the sink faucet at the same time as the shower and noted that when both were running, it was as if the sink faucet controlled the shower. Well, this was a ridiculous test, because there was no conceivable way that anyone would need or want to use the bathroom in that way. Again, this is the small, fifth bathroom in the house, not the master bath. Without running the sink simultaneously there was no issue with the shower (even if a sink upstairs was running). Not a real problem, just a way to shave a few bucks off the selling price for the buyers. Third, he claimed that the garage door safety mechanism was not working, since he could place a thin piece of cardboard (literally a few sheets of paper in height) under the door and it wasn't detected. How did I know that was his test? He left the cardboard as litter on the ground there. Well, he didn't recognize that the safety mechanism for the door would not recognize that, since it was an eye across the path of the door. This is the better safety mechanism anyway, since it accounts for kids running under a door. In other words, he cited us, but he himself did not recognize how the door worked. All in all, I found him to be highly unethical, to the point that I was considering reporting him to the attorney general''s office. I have been through lots of home inspections with competent and fair professionals. This guy was completely incompetent. EDITED (because I remembered more): The inspector claimed that gas lines to the fireplace were not consistent with code. Not true, they were replaced and inspected by the county. The inspector recommended that a self-closing door be added between the kitchen and garage. We have seen many, many homes... none ever had such doors, and no inspector would have recommended that, except one looking to help his buyer clients get over on a seller. EDITED (in response to business owner's reply to my google review): Business owner snidely "apologized for my disappointment in his commitment to industry standards." Nice try. I have information about those standards. On the bathroom issue, section 6.2 of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice states that "inspectors are not required to measure water supply flow and pressure." It's fine if you do it, but your test and video evidence of it was non-sensical and misleading; you never showed that under normal conditions it behaves as expected. On the garage issue, the US Consumer Product Safety Commision issued rules in 1992 about garage door safety. They require that ONE of the following devices be enabled for safety: photoelectric eye (what we have), OR door edge sensor (what the inspector attempted to test), OR a constant contact door button. Again, those regulations only require ONE safety feature which we have. Of note, the inspector's test using cardboard wouldn't work for the door sensor test. The standard is to put down something substantial like a 2X4. So, he not only did the wrong test, he did the wrong test the wrong way. These regulations are published on the Commission's website: https://www.cpsc.gov/content/safety-commission-publishes-final-rules-for-automatic-garage-door-openers .

We highly recommend him.

The crew showed up on time and covered all my bushes and plants from debris from old shingles, underlayment and nails AFTER they cleared the roof of snow. The crew was small to compare with the roofing crews quite a few neighbors had with their roof replacement. Dispite a small crew, they worked as one and in less than half the time spent by the other crews, they cleared the roof of snow, protected the shrubbery around the home, stripped the roof to the bare wood, layed new underlayment, and completely reshingled my roof, cut attic vents, cleared up the debris, cleared property of nails, and before packing up, they even replaced the shingles on the roof which protects my heat pump. Then they packed up, did a final inspection and left. I've left the company sign on my lawn because of how beautiful and better the home looks. I believe the quality and choice of shingles have increased the homes value. I live on the main street of my development and people continually stop while walking and while driving.
