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.
"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."
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.
