Steve did a home inspection for me after I moved into my house because originally when I purchased my home, I had a horrible inspection done. Upon moving in, I started noticing major problems that were negligently overlooked by my first home inspector who was referred to me by my realtor. Steve came in and did the most thorough and detailed inspection possible and without me even telling him my concerns, he pointed out major structural defects that were completely overlooked by the first guy. Had I brought in Steve in the first place, I never would have purchased my house and could have saved myself 50k + in major structural repairs. This man's priority really is to protect the buyer. He has been in the business for over 30 years and is a Director of the OAHI. That says a lot. My advice to people looking to find a good inspector, is first off make sure they are a member of an association and have them provide proof of that. You can also call the association to confirm they are a member. Also, make sure they can show proof of liability and E&O insurance. Don't base your decision solely on reviews written about companies either. Do your own research. Sometimes reviews can be based on what people may have thought was thorough because they have nothing to compare it to. If you want to know every problem that could either help you decide whether to make the purchase, or problems that you are going to face when moving into your home and the extent of what it takes to repair it, hire Steve. He'll leave nothing uncovered.
