Cornerstone Property Inspections (Formerly ARIS Home & Energy) Review

I have used them twice now and Andy is my go to inspector he does a great job and takes the time to explain things to you. Thank you so much. Definitely reccomend!

This was our first time using Cornerstone Property Inspection services.
Andy, the inspector showed up right on time was very professional and explained what all he was doing and what he was finding along the way.
He was very thorough and personable.
Would recommend to anyone needing Home Inspections.

Mr. Aaron went above and beyond to ensure our home was in tiptop shape before listing! Kind, professional, and detailed! I would use them for every home purchase if it was up to me!

We recently used Cornerstone for a property we intended to purchase. Our inspector, John was; professional, thorough, informative and courteous. He went out of his way to ensure the inspection would be completed correctly. If all the inspectors are like John, and why wouldn't they be, this is a very good company to use. We will be using them again.

Very thorough and professional. Certified inspector. I highly recommend this company.

Very detailed work, easy to schedule. Great inspection.

Aaron Driskel was absolutely amazing! He was extremely thorough, answered all of our questions, and promptly got the home inspection report back to us within a matter of hours. I highly recommend Cornerstone Property for ALL of your home inspection needs.

Aaron was great to work with. The communication and responsiveness was excellent. His full report was in my email just hours after the inspection. Very detailed and accommodating. He was very helpful when I had questions, especially for my first home purchase! Highly recommend

We received the best possible service... a very thorough and detailed inspection that provided us with the information we needed to make a informed decision....

Our Home inspection was done! He did a very very good job finding very important things that need fixed. We Thankyou very much!

My wife and I hired John from Cornerstone Property Inspections to do two inspections for us on our search for out first home. His reports were extremely thorough and he quickly responded to any of our questions and concerns. His inspection results uncovered numerous issues that lead us to back out of the first home we had a contract on. After getting a contract on a new home, we happily hired him again. His reports were thorough once again, and he even came out to the property numerous times after the initial inspection to make sure that everything was inspected beyond our expectations. My wife and I cannot give enough praise to John and Cornerstone properties for helping us along our journey to our first home.

Very, very happy with the inspection that Andy w/Cornerstone performed for us. He was very thorough and informative. Really happy that we had included the termite inspection as existing damage was found. We will definitely use Cornerstone again.

Aaron and his team are always top notch and always willing to make sense of any inspection item with the agent and client. highly recommend

Aaron was very polite and friendly. Very knowledgeable in his field. Aaron went over my inspection line by line to assure I understood everything. Reasonably priced and got me scheduled quickly. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Highly recommend!!!

Pleasant, professional, thorough. Andy was great to work with. It's clear he knows what he is doing. Report is in easy to read format with photos. Andy found one small fix needed in the attic and one in the crawl which we would never have seen.

We have had nothing but exceptional service from Cornerstone Property Inspections, LLC!!!!

These guys are the real deal! They are picky and I needed that when buying my first home to live in. I trust and rely on them completely. They know their business. Hire them!

As a realtor, I have met many home inspectors. I appreciate Aaron's honesty and willingness to go above and beyond in explaining his report to clients. Even in the hardest of inspections he takes that opportunity to educate the client and make them feel comfortable with their decisions. Cornerstone is professional and knowledgable! Easy to schedule and always on time...they do what they say they will do. I highly recommend Cornerstone Property Inspections!

Great job, would recommend highly to friends and family.

Amazing inspection report. Very clear and thorough. He noted everything down to the smallest details. Very friendly & reasonably priced!

Wonderful information provided on planned property purchase. Spoke with inspector who was excellent. Highly recommend.

First time homebuyer. John came and done my inspection I was very pleased. He was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. Also liked the fact he made it to where I could understand the problems and some possibilities of the repair process. Would use again.

Great Inspection loaded with the details needing when looking to purchase a home

I thought the inspector was very thorough in his report. It also helped that there were recommendations below my pictures. Thanks again!

Aaron with Cornerstone Property Inspections is very knowledgeable and thorough with all the inspections he performs. He is a very approachable and is quick to answer any questions. The inspection report is very comprehensive and detailed. I highly recommend them.

Great review of the house. Wonderful pictures so we could see exactly what the inspector was referring to in his notes. I definitely recommend them! Thank you.

Aaron and the crew at Cornerstone always go above and beyond when I've needed a home inspected. Scheduling has never been an issue, and not to mention they're very thorough. The guys seem to actually care, and want the best for you and your clients. It shows in their work and inspection reports. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Exceptionally thorough and knowledgeable. I appreciate knowing exactly what I am getting in to. Will use Cornerstone again. Highly recommend.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY! I used Andy to inspect my house and I have had several issues with him. One has to do with having a dishwasher swapped out. He refused to help me regardless that he told me he would get back with me. There were other questionable things that went on too. Several things were not caught in the inspection that should have been. I have sent message after message and I have heard nothing. It s all about taking your money and blowing you off. It s sad there are people like this guy out there that you can t trust!

My clients are always extremely satisfied with the services Cornerstone provides! 5 stars to Andy, John, Jill & Aaron

it has been three years now since the initial report. with over 30 years working on the side in construction, building one home and remodeling several dozen others, I am appalled at the lack of professionalism with my inspection. Gross code violations were missed and little attention was given to the inspection.

I have found all exterior outlets and lighting was installed without electrical boxes, just the vinyl siding cover plates. Not easy to see on an inspection but three exterior outlets it was obvious. In the attic there were three junctions with as many as 7 electrical lines using wire nuts at the level of the blown insulation and no junction boxes. these were both right next to bathroom exhaust fans with no ducting. wires to dryer and air conditioner exposed ( this is allowed ) showed burn marks as long as 5 feet on the insulation. AC used 2 sets of #8 Romex for a 75 amp service, under rated and probably the cause of the burning. Dryer wires were burnt most likely due to the use of PVC for the dryer vent. When it was removed it was filled except for 1 inch with lint.

Property grading forced water to settle against the north end of the home. THe AC/Heat system sat in this water. Ducting from AC to the home was on the ground later found to have a large gap on the under side with rodents living inside and large mold amounts that went into the AC unit too.

On the South end of the home we immediately found a water leak that took out 12 feet of the kitschen wall and cabinets. This water leak was found behind the grass growing against the home. Kitchen water pipes were installed on the wrong side of the insulation causing a gradual leak on a joint.

Inside the kitchen had a light over the sink with a wire forced between the header boards and stuck out of the drywall. Not only was there no electrical box, but the wires were run outside the wall down to the cabinets for a light mounted under the board.

At the time we hired this inspector I was recovering from a hip replacement. I could not climb into the attic or get down on the ground. I relied on a professional to get down and around what needed to be inspected. Instead we got minor issues and all the major items were ignored. Comments of "Garage full not inspected" do not cut it.

Since buying a turn key home we have since had to repipe all plumbing, repair almost every wire circuit, rewire and replace all GFIC outlets none of which were tested. We replaced the entire AC system along with proper sized wires and ducting. Graded all slopes away from home and set up proper drainage. In 3 years we have invested months of work and over $15,000 in repairs. I can now climb crawl and get into places to do these things, but when I needed a professional I was taken advantage of.

Since moving in I have spoken my mind about this inspector. I would challenge his skills and professionalism any day. He does the absolute minimum needed and provides a decorative colorful report calling it professional. It is far from it. In a region where there are no enforced building codes inspectors need to step it up. Had I had the opportunity to make this review earlier I would have. I would have gone to the office and told them just how bad their service was. I lost the copy and my realtor was a Gentleman that did not want to cause a problem. He told me he would mention the dis satisfaction to the Broker.

Well I found the inspector and can now speak my mind. Shame on you for poor work. I feel for those that do not have the skills and tools to do the repairs I have done. What could have costs easily $50,000 should never have been a surprise to a new home owner.

I bought my home in February 2019 and although i love the home it has been a headache. So far in on year i have replaced.
1.) All Plumbing under the house - within a week of moving in
2.) Doors not shimmed to the wall- Week and a half after moving in.
3.) Water heater and garbage disposal replacement- 2 months after moving in.
4.) Cabinets fell off the wall b/c they were screwed to drywall not studs- 6 months in.
5.) Full replacement of Roof and Gutters- 11 months in
6.) Termites- While adding a deck to the front of my house contractors found termites. I called Terminix who quickly found several colonies in and around my home. Terminix rep Shawn said there is damage under the house and that they have been here for well over a year. I have now been in the home 1 year and 2 months.

I never wrote a review before b/c i understand people make mistakes and the inspector seemed very nice. However, at this point i feel like this is a lot.

Aaron, John, Andy and Miss Jill are amazing to work with. Everyone is very professional and personable! They encourage their clients to come to the property and walk thru with the inspector personally to have a clear picture of any issues that may be discovered. They always take the time to thoroughly explain their findings in easy-to-understand terms without being alarmists! They are very thorough and never make you feel like they are rushing to get thru with the job. The reports they generate are very informative with recommendations about how to resolve any issues discovered. Great group to work with!

Cornerstone is a very professional inspection company. They are thorough in their inspections, they provide written reports with pictures in a timely manner. I have been impressed with them in every endeavor.

In my search for a home inspector I called 5 different companies in the area, none of them had Jill. She answered the phone with a smile and was happy to help me and answer all my questions. I was so impressed with her and the ability Cornerstone had to meet all of our inspection needs that I chose Cornerstone. My husband and I met the inspector at the property and could not believe how friendly, Knowledgeable and kind Andy was. We asked a lot of questions and he was more then happy to share his knowledge with us! The icing on the cake was how quickly the inspection report was complete. Cornerstone is the superior choice. We could not be more satisfied!

Out standing job!!!!! Arron was very informative and thorough with his inspection.... Highly recommend !!!!!!!!

Aaron came to inspect our new construction home that we are purchasing. He was on time (technically early), personable, and easy to talk to.

He was incredibly thorough and did indeed find a few things that needed some attention. He explained the items well and gave 4 different occasions for us to ask any questions that we may have had before he left. He answered all questions objectively and completely.

The report was provided VERY quickly and included all of the information that we need.

If I had to get another inspection I would absolutely be a repeat customer.

Thank you for your time and professionalism!

As a Realtor, I have seen many inspection reports. I can always rely on Cornerstone to be thorough, but not alarmist. They take their time and look at everything from the roof to the crawlspace. They are knowledgeable and inform my buyers of items to be aware of, including those items the buyers are able to complete themselves. I have even known their inspectors to spend time on the phone or in person with my buyers to go over the report. Definitely 5 stars.

We were fortunate enough to use Cornerstone for our new construction home inspection. We are so thankful we did! The attention to detail was impressive and the recommendations for repair were much appreciated. We feel confident our new home will be perfect when we move in.
Thank you for your quick turn around time with the report. Oh! And I can t forget to mention the patience it took to deal with our million questions. We were never made to feel as a bother with our lack of knowledge. Excellent customer service with excellent outcomes! Thank you Aaron!

We've used them twice now and Andy is the best!!! We will always use or recommend them in the future!

Great to work with. Timely appointment & report came in very quick. Very professional procedures & easy to understand the entire process.

Aaron came out to inspect a property we are under contract to buy. We felt that he did a very thorough job and we got the report promptly. Besides that, he is very pleasant and personable to work with!

We ve had 2 home inspections with Cornerstone and appreciate how thorough they are. They pay close attention to detail and are very honest in there feedback.

On the advice of our realtor, we used Cornerstone for a pre-purchase inspection. Andy was on-time, courteous and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with the service he provided and the speed at which he provided his final report. I would not hesitate to use Cornerstone again.

We've used this company twice now and will use them every single time. They are extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and timely! I can't say enough good things!

Had a great experience with Cornerstone Property Inspections. The inspector, John Manes, was very thorough and informative. As a first-time home buyer, he explained things in detail as he went through the inspection. I would highly recommend them!

Dion was wonderful. He was very informative and addressed all my concerns. His reports were very clear & detailed. He was very professional and did a fantastic job in explaining everything. I'd recommend his services and would use him again in the future.

I had a great experience with Cornerstone Inspections! John was very thorough and he explained what he saw in great detail to me in person along with a very detailed report. I would definitely use them in the future!

Do yourself a favor, and hire someone else. On our official home inspection, the inspector left out key details, such as prior crawlspace flooding, sagging floors, and other issues that should be addressed prior to the home purchase. Now we are stuck installing a sump pump and fixing other features. We've contacted the company numerous times, and they are not very polite, professional, or willing to help. In the long run, they are not reliable. Shop around for what's better out there.

As a Real Estate Agent, it s refreshing to know that my clients are in good hands with this team. They re very thorough and get reports back very quickly. I highly recommend.

Excellent company for first time home buyers who needs an all round home inspection. Their inspectors are fantastic at explaining what is wrong and give suggestions on how to fix it. John was our inspector that was assigned to us and we were so blessed to have him when we had no ideal on what needed fixed. He did an amazing job. We can't say thank you enough for being here for us. Thank you again John and Cornerstone Property Inspections!

We had our home inspected in Oct/Nov time frame. we have found a bunch of things that where over looked. My bathtub leaks, the sink was not checked in either bathroom, did not follow up on the "repairs". The list goes on but when I pulled the drain on my sink tonight I about snapped. I will be calling the realtor that recommended this company Monday and let him know about these over looked things so he may keep a close eye on what is really going on.

Aaron was great! He was very thorough and gave me his honest opinion on what actually needed to be done vs what was completely optional. He was quick and great at explaining his findings. I will definitely use Cornerstone again for my next house.

Aaron and his team were great! I looked at a number of inspectors but Cornerstone was professional, thorough and on time. We had a 24 unit resort inspected by them and they were able to complete the job on time and with quality I was not expecting. Definitely call Aaron if you're looking for an inspector.

I have been a Broker in Real Estate for about 30 years. I have enjoyed working with Aaron and their crew of inspectors, they do a thorough inspection and are always very informative with their findings. I would recommend them for your next home or well inspections oh they do termite inspections as well , a one stop shop .
