Get matched with top complete home inspectors in Palmyra, VA

"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."

"Very responsive agent! Truly LISTENED, responded to my questions and found the perfect product. Was also very honest about what he couldn't help with at this time. Felt like I was dealing with a friend."

"They are fine. Their price is very good and the hardware is holding up very well."

"as advertised"

"Tom did an outstanding job of replacing a couple of 20-year-old pressure-treated 6x6 posts for a 2nd story porch that were showing signs of rot. He removed the bad posts, installed new concrete-filled supports, and replaced the posts (including a galvanized metal cap between the concrete & wood). He also straightened a severely-leaning mailbox, securing it with concrete, and even filled in a hole that had mysteriously appeared in our driveway a couple of months ago. The entire project was completed over two days. Throughout the entire effort he kept us constantly apprised of his plans and his progress. And when he and his assistant departed, they left the porch area cleaner than they found it. And the total cost was 25% less than the original estimate."

"Great, fast, and affordable."

"They were completely unresponsive. And after the guy came out to do the free consultation, I never heard anything back."
