Baker Property Inspections

Our house went under contract a few months later and passed inspection with only minor findings. None of the bogus stuff this clown «found»

I called Steve for an inspection that we needed in a week and he was able to fit us in (even in today’s crazy market). Steve was very professional and easy to talk to. As we walked around the house we were going to purchase I realized he was also very knowledgeable about home inspections. He pointed out several things about stucco, furnaces, etc. that I didn’t know about.
The people who lived in the house weren’t too happy when Steve showed up at 9:30 and said he should be done around 3 p.m. He is a very thorough inspector and checked everything I could think of and then some.
He was very reasonable on price as well. I would strongly suggest all potential buyers to use Baker Property Inspections; you WON’T regret it.
My guess is the two below reviewers are just mad their house didn’t sell.

Mr. Baker recently inspected my house that was on the market, representing the Buyers.
I knew something was «off» when it took him almost 6 hours to inspect my house. I had a feeling that I would have a list like Santa’s scroll highlighting any piece of carpet that might be out of place.
Unfortunately, Mr. Baker cost us the sale on our house.
He told the Buyers that our Hot Water Heater needed to be replaced. Upon inspection from a plumber, that was not correct. He fixed it with a .25 rubber washer. He then said my HVAC was leaking and was at the end of it’s «life». I had an HVAC company come to inspect the unit, they had no idea what he was talking about. He said the roof needed drip edge flashing to replace the damaged fascia boards. There were some water marks, but the fascia was as solid as they come and no flashing was required. He said the jacuzzi tub needed to bond the copper piping to the pump motor. Again, not true, the pipes were plastic, not metal. Lastly, he said the Stucco showed signs of «significant water damage». Again, not true. I had multiple people inspect the Stucco for «signs of significant water damage». Wow.
Not only did he cost me the sale of the house, but I spent literally hundreds of dollars to have «Licensed Contractors» (per his request), confirm that his major inspection objections were completely unfounded.
It’s incredibly frustrating that he is so unqualified to perform inspections.
Once the house is sold, he will have cost both the Buyer and Myself literally thousands of dollars.
I am assuming he received payment for his inspection, so I hope he feels justified.
