Reassuring experience for a first time buyer

Saint Catharines

09/02/2019

As a first-time homebuyer I was very nervous going into a home inspection as it’s hard to know what to look for. However, George not only pointed out a great number of minor issues that I would easily have missed, but provided great advice on what to do to maintain the quality of the home over time and prevent minor issues from becoming big ones. Can’t recommend this company enough! Easily worth the price for the knowledge gained.

George took the time to explain all potential and existing issues in detail upon the time of the home inspection -prior to home purchase. Due to his insight I was able to better prepare for the move in date

Fantastic Inspection

Home Inspection review in St. Catharines

George was professional, thorough and answered all my questions. He spent the time to go through the property in detail and noticed things I wouldn't have seen that definitely impacted how we proceeded with this house. Follow-up emails with pictures of items needing attention were much appreciated.

Explanations about the new house were clear and precise with added assurance all information would be available in my own binder. George was warm, friendly and had a sense of humour, which put me at ease.

Reliable, thorough and very professional

George initially responded to my inquiry very quickly. Once my inspection was booked, he arrived promptly. The inspection was thorough and he walked me through the results in way that was very clear and understandable. The full written report with pictures was received the same day as the inspection. George was a pleasure to work with.

Home Inspection review in St. Catharines

George was very thorough and a pleasure to work with. It's a little nerve wracking buying a new home, especially an older one, and George was knowledgeable and took the time to review any of the small (thankfully) issues that needed to be addressed. I would highly recommend his service.

Home Inspection review in Niagara Falls

06/09/2019

George is an excellent home inspector. He went over several things in the house we are buying and explained what was wrong, his best guess at a solution and his estimate of an approximate cost to fix. Thanks to George we were comfortable enough to give it a shot and buy the house knowing ahead of time what is wrong, what could go wrong as well as what is in good shape and not a concern.
Spent a lot of time with us and answered the many questions we had.
Highly recommend George and his company.

Thank you George.

Updated Review

Saint Catharines

06/04/2019

At first I was pleased with his inspection done by George. However, a year later investigating my house. George missed countless deficiencies with the house. After realizing, George did not go on my roof and did not record the damages to the soffit and eavesdrough damages. Upon knocking down walls in my basement, George did not disclose that there would be something beyond the wall and did not provide any assistance that something could potentially be hidden behind the walls. George was not helpful at all and in turn, my house that was "ready to move in" has been nothing but stressful and pouring money into the defects with the house. I do not recommend this company/service to anyone. Giving a 0 star rating in still too high of a number for recommendation. If I can go into the negatives, such as my bank account, I would rate him at -5. Do not trust this company and you will be shocked at all the defects he will miss during his inspection. All he wanted was his money and to leave the scene. His inspection was done in a mere 1.5 hours. I had another company come by for an inspection very recently, and he spent 4 hours at my house and provided a 110 page report of the issues with my house. Whereas George on the other hand, provided a 20 page report. Do not trust this company. Very, very disappointing work.

Dear "Unknown client",

Although very much a surprise to read, I thank you for your feedback, although disappointing, regarding your inspection which took place a YEAR ago.

As addressed in your home inspection report the home inspection is not an exhaustive technical evaluation. An evaluation of this nature would cost many times more. Please understand that there are limitations to our inspection such as being able to tell you what’s behind your basement walls. While we can reduce your risk of purchasing a home, we cannot eliminate it or can we assume it. Even the most comprehensive inspection cannot be expected to reveal every condition you may consider significant to ownership.

I was hoping you could reach out to me personally at gmendes_hshi@yahoo.ca regarding the issues you describe in your feedback. I have some questions and concerns I’d like to discuss with you. There are no inspectors that will be able to tell you what is behind your basement walls. We do use thermal imaging and moisture meters. These two tools combined together often reveal issues that are not visible to clients. You talk about your roof and the fact the I did not walk on it to inspect it. I need to get some feedback from you regarding this home so that I can properly address this. I don’t know if it was snow covered, the height of the roof or the slope of the roof.

What puzzles me the most is that I have never received any feedback regarding any such inspection until today. This is something we need in order to properly reply to your concerns.

If you could reach out to me with the inspection number of your report which is found on page 33 of your so called “20 page report” that would be a great help.

Thanks very much,

George Mendes, C.M.I.,
