Review of Allied Inspection, Inc.

Do not believe all of the falsely inflated reviews...

Do not believe all of the falsely inflated reviews you will read here. This company begs for good reviews, and when there is a major issue they failed to address, they make you sign a disclaimer that states you will remove all bad reviews. So anyone that settled an issue had to remove their reviews, leaving only the good reviews below.

The true mark of a company is not how they act when things are good, but how they stand up to their reputation and make things right when they are wrong. This company fails in this regard. They claim a third party will get involved in disputes, but their third party is just another inspector employed by Allied, which is a huge conflict of interest. They send their own contractors to evaluate problems, and fail to address the major issues that are found. They are more interested in protecting their wallet than the safety of your family.

If you are going to use them, be sure to ask about what happens if they miss something and how they solve disputes.

Original review:
Choosing a home inspector is not an easy task, especially if you are new to an area. Anyone can come across looking competent and smart to a buyer that is not an expert in homes and is emotionally invested in a huge purchase of a new home.

I chose allied from a recommendation of two possible places. On paper they sounded good. They were punctual and respectful. Of course they found no major issues and the home sale went through. They pointed out many things that were very well built, and struggled to find any flaws.

A few months later and we are settled into the home. We discovered a major safety issue that wasn't only a "miss" on their part, but it was actually something they pointed out as very well done! I had two contractors come evaluate and tell me that my deck was a major safety concern and I shouldn't let my kids anywhere near it. They were not trying to sell me a new deck but were there for other work. They pointed out several major structural problems that seem so obvious that I have no idea how they were missed. This is a several thousand dollar problem that should have never been missed.
