Complete Home Inspection
$13,000
I hired Catalyst Inspections and worked directly with Paul Malson prior to purchasing my home. I ultimately had to spend approximately $13,000 on repairs related to issues that were not identified or fully communicated during the inspection. In hindsight, I should have reviewed the inspection agreement more carefully, as it contains extensive exclusions. For transparency, I am including those exclusions, which cover items such as property boundaries, inaccessible areas, system performance and life expectancy, causes of defects, future conditions, code compliance, as well as environmental concerns including rodents, mold, air quality, asbestos, hazardous materials, and other related conditions. That said, my concerns go beyond the standard exclusions. During the inspection, Paul pointed out droppings around the HVAC system and made me aware of that specific area. However, after moving into the home, I discovered there was extensive rodent contamination throughout the attic that was far

The owner, Paul Malton, is such a professional, easy to work with and highly committed to his line of work. Reports were detailed and full of pictures. He also spent quality time carrying us through his inspection process and related findings. Due to his quality of work, we hired him twice within the same month.

Paul with catalyst was extremely helpful and informative with my inspection. I wanted to attend the inspection and he told me that's actually preferred. He spent extra time to go over any questions I had and did a very thorough inspection of the house. One thing I really liked was that Paul included the wind mitigation inspection with the general inspection that generally other companies will charge you extra for. GO WITH PAUL, HE'S THE BEST

Paul is very easy and professional to work with. We are first time home buyers and he explained everything he had to do and why we would need or want it done, and put our minds at ease with his knowledge of the process.

We asked Catalyst Inspections to inspect a commercial building that we're considering the purchase of. Paul went above and beyond our expectations for thoroughness, and clearly has many years of experience as an inspector. We will certainly be using his services again in the future, whenever the need arises!
