Gold Key provided prompt quality service for our home inspection. The inspector was professional, thorough, and informative. The report was provided sooner than expected and included all items that were identified at the time of inspection.

Gold Key Inspector Kevin did such an outstanding job on the first Indiana home we purchased that we knew we had to have Gold Key do the inspection on the next house we purchased. He is thorough, knowledgeable, friendly and gives outstanding customer service. Having the report the same day as the inspection is a time saver. Highly Recommend Gold Key Home Inspections.

All the credentialing in the world doesn't make up for a lack of knowledge.  Bob demonstrated little experience or knowledge in home inspections.   His roof review was looking out a second-story window.    From the window he could observe that the gutters were full of debris.   They were not full of debris but rather than they had an insert to prevent leaves from clogging it.  Because Bob doesn't do real roof inspections, he totally misjudged that as well as serious issues on two chimneys. 

Speaking of windows, numerous windows he inspected didn't work according to him.  When a home inspector does NOT know how to open and a close window, that should raise some serious flags!  Most of us know that you push up on the top sash and pull down on the bottom to properly close a window.   Bob didn't know that.

Bob does know how to sit and wait while a hot tub fulls up. Bob does know how to show you his thermal sensing device.  He does know how to tell bad jokes. He does know how to tell you that he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.   You don't want to hear bad jokes or anything being someone possibly being armed.  

So many things were overlooked by Bob that I wouldn't recommend him to anybody for anything.

Response from Gold Key Home Inspections, LLC
"I am sorry you were displeased with your home inspection. As I recall, your inspection was for information purposes only, and in spite of the numerous, serious mechanical and structural issues identified in the house (all of which are documented by photographs and in writing in the 52-page inspection report), you decided to move forward with the purchase of the house. In addition, several issues identified in the attic and of the roof were documented in writing and via photograph in the report (which would have been difficult to provide if we had not gone into the attic or on the roof). In some cases, it's not safe to walk on a roof (for the inspector or the roof) so we use visual observation as well as attic inspection to identify issues. In this case, you may remember, you actually accompanied me while I inspected the attic but left the inspection early so missed out on some crucial aspects of the review, including the roof inspection. I am more concerned that you have never reached out to me since the inspection last summer, yet felt compelled to write a review. I have, however, been contacted by your wife and assisted her in turning on the heat to the house when the weather turned cold. Again, we are truly sorry that you were unsatisfied with our work. I'd be pleased to address your concerns if you would return my phone calls. If you have any other questions about the inspection report, please feel free to call me."

We had a great experience with Bob. I was scheduled to meet Bob at 9am at the our house that we were set to close on several weeks later. He actually arrived early, and did much of the exterior inspection so all we had to do was go over his major findings. Overall, Bob is was great to work with, and was very happy to explain all issues he found. We have now been living in our house for about 2 months, and haven't found anything that he missed during his inspection.
The report he gives his customers is very detailed, and includes photos. He is also able to send it to customers within a day or so after completing the inspection.
All in all, Bob did a wonderful job, and we will not hesitate to recommend his services, or use him again in the future.
