American Home Detectives

I am very pleased with this inspection company. Vicky coordinated the multi vendor inspection seamlessly (mold, termite & 4point). Chris’ inspection and report was very detailed and thorough. Home buying is a big investment and having peace of mind is very important to my family. I am a very picky and demanding customer and I would definitely recommend this company.

Chris took the time to explain everything to us before and AFTER the inspection. He was able to get us appointment right away (could have come next day if we needed him!) and explained everything after the appointment as well.

They came out within 72 hours to look at the dream house im interested in. The inspector was kind, honest and thorough. He knew what information I needed to make sure the investment was worthwhile. His forthright advice was a key factor in our decision. They also had a ton of experience– and you could tell the inspector knew what he was doing. He saved us a TON OF $$$$ by giving us multiple options. He also had a good expectation of timeline for when the roof would need replacing. All in all, really great experience. Would highly recommend this company.

I hired Chris back in 7÷3÷2014 to inspect a mobile/​manufactured home I was about to buy in cash. At that time, I gave him 5 stars for the job done (US $ 229 paid). He mapped just one (1) major issue: the roof needed to be completely redone.
Now, several months later, I feel obligated to give him only 2 stars due to the poor job done. You can use this review to include my issues listed here as bullet points for your next inspection.
I spent more the US 7,000 to fix several things that — if I knew upfront — would prevent me to buy the home in the first place.
— Bathroom 1 had a broken bathtub drain beyond repair and a leaking old toilet, what leaded me to remove the old bathtub and toilet and renovate the whole thing.
— Bathroom 2 had another broken toilet and a plastic shower floor detaching from the ground and causing leaking. Full of mold too. I needed to renovate this unit too.
— Electrical system was poorly wired and loads were not properly balanced, making the circuit breaker trip every single time I have to much stuff on. Several code violations too. It cost me a lot to fix this.
— A/​C ducts were full with mold, dust and debris, making my wife and daughter sick 1 month after we moved on.
— Dishwasher was broken and leaking dirty water.
— Several power outlets were not working, even after the inspector report said they were.
That’s it.
