Colonial Home Inspections

Hired to inspect a 30-year-old home we were purchasing. Rick and his wife were extremely nice and spent several hours on the inspection. The report provided was understandable, although took longer to receive than expected, which came close to causing a problem with our purchase deadlines. They found several very minor cost items listed on the report (toilet loose, electrical outlet malfunction), but failed for finding some big ticket items that we found after we purchased the house. They did not find rotted wood and leaking windows in one room; also, did not find foundation issues in the center of the house requiring us to have the home jacked up and joists reinforced. I brought their attention to some cracking while they did the inspection that was indicative of the foundation issues we have had to repair. When I brought the cracking to Ricks attention, he specifically said it was nothing to worry about. They were very nice and seemed thorough at the time, but I would not use them again. We have paid $10,000 in repair work for what was missed in the inspection. If these items had been found in the inspection, we would not have purchased the house.

Good job

I'm a 1st time home buyer and I was excited i thought I had to walk around with them. They were so polite and told me and my husband to relax and cuddle ð ð ¥° At the end they discussed the house with us and sent us a report. Very nice respectable people.

Rick and his wife provided great customer service a fair price and a quality new home inspection for me. I will use them again!

They gave me a very professional and compleye report.

They were very good they kept in touch with me because I was out of town and gave me everything I needed. Very helpful and on point. Would highly recommend.

did a good job

Very professional and thorough

Great customer service, Rick scheduled me a appointment to my convenience. Rick and Kim showed up on time and were very professional and friendly. They listened to my concerns, scouted the house from inch to inch and not only pointed out the possible bad issues but also pointed out the good things with the property. They took pictures of everything which let me know they were very detailed. The inspection was about 2.5 hours but Rick and Kim stayed after to answer some of our questions, and we received our detailed inspection report within 48 hours. Also his pricing was very competitive compared to other inspectors

they were great

They are very professional and do an excellent job.

Great work !

Excellent service. On time, friendly, and very knowledgeable.

Rick Volante did an amazing job working on a very tight schedule for us the buyers. He turned around a well written, concise and thorough inspection report that was realistic and easy to understand. just want to thank him for a professional job well done.

I was given a wealth of knowledge about the up of a house

I would trust this business with any home and recommend him to anyone in the state. Honest good man great husband and wife team!

I just had to go with my gut about this guy and I am BEYOND happy I did!!! This gentlemen and his wife were a perfect match for inspecting our soon to be home. He checked everything from A to Z and he explained everything in between. He more than welcomed my husband being with him throughout the inspection to even explaining what he was searching for while they were in the crawl space. By far the cheapest price I could find and spent 1 1/2 hours over what I expected him too. So happy with your service Rick and Kim. Thank you.

Arrived on time and provided a good report of the home. I will use them again.

Nice guy seemed knowledgeable it just took longer than I thought to get the report

They were able to accommodate my short notice request to conduct a home inspection and were happy to answer all my questions.

Rick and Kim are awesome!!! They are very kind and willing to reschedule multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Very professional and knowledgeable! Will definitely be using them again, totally recommended! Final inspection report turned out great!

Did a great job I would reccommend and will use them again

They were very nice people. They did a good job with inspecting my new home, but it took them a while to send me the report and it almost affected my buying process.
