Similar to other reviews, my experience with AllMax was amazing. Allan, our inspector, arrived at the property about 30 minutes early and began his inspection of the exterior. Once we arrived, instead of just telling us he had finished the outside and asking to go inside, Allan took time to introduce himself, explain the home inspection process, and invited us to ask as many questions as we wanted. He then went over what he had seen on the outside, provided possible repairs, timelines, and costs. He also asked about our house search, and provided a baseline condition for the type of house we are interested in so that we had a fair comparison.
As we entered the home, Allan was meticulous in everything, checking every square inch of the home. He explained everything he was seeing, both good and potentially bad, which gave us an idea of the overall condition of the house.
During his attic inspection, he found mold and spent about 15 minutes explaining the potential problems, health risks, and remedies to us. I found this extremely helpful because it allowed me to approach the deal with the caution I needed, and there will be no surprises later on.
Throughout the whole process, Allan was very thorough, patient, and complete in his responses. We always felt comfortable asking questions about what he was explaining, or flagging things we thought might be potential problems.
Allan inspected our property in the afternoon, and the same evening he had sent over a complete PDF report, covering everything he had explained earlier. He also followed-up with a phone call to make sure I received the report, to explain some of the terminology he used, and invited me to reach out to him if I had any further questions.
There's a lot of decisions to be made when buying a house, but going with AllMax and Allan is definitely one you won't regret.
