Very disappointed. We've used this company before purchasing our current home. The last inspection they did for us did not catch several gas leaks in the basement and garage of our current home.
***Adding to this..also did not catch a leaking skylight/mold in the attic from the leak.
We should have forgone the inspection and saved the money for these repairs! Very disappointed these issues were not caught in the report.
I had called back when we found out about the gas leaks getting missed, but no further response from the company.
*****Additional comments. The gas leak was both in the garage on the wall behind the gas meter/no shelving would have been there. In addition, inside the furnace there was another leak. Also discovered carpenter ant infestation/visible damage on shutters of the house.
*********Additional comments. We found a hole in the foundation under the porch directly leading in to the crawlspace. This was also missed during the inspection. Disappointing that the company has made no effort to offer any % of money back on the inspection.
If you have no recourse on major issues missed during the inspection, what is the point of paying for this service?

Steve and Oliver inspected the house we are planning to call our new home. They were both professional and delightful to work with. My experience with them demonstrated they were quick to respond while still being patient and thoughtful in their interactions. They were equally thorough and effective. We paid just a little bit more than other quotes, and do not regret having done so. The value is absolutely equal to what we paid. They are worth every dollar. The reporting they provided on-site was detailed and comprehensive. I am grateful to them both as we all know buying a new home can be such a nerve-racking experience. This inspection was an exception if you re looking for a home inspector, I encourage you to call these wonderful people.

The Home Examiner team was very friendly, the process was amazingly fast with a printed report that was reviewed at the end of the inspection. Steve and Oliver showed us areas of concern with explanations of remedies. The home inspection was eye opening because the report showed many potential problems that needed to be addressed. Steve and Oliver were professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend The Home Examine to anyone buying a house.

Steve and Oliver were super helpful and insightful during our home inspection. Although the home we are in the process of purchasing didn t have any major issues, we were informed of almost every detail about the home- things I wouldn t have otherwise even known to think about or look for. They both did a very thorough job, taking time to really look closely at the home. Besides being the two friendliest people I have had the please speaking to, I trust their judgement and opinions and feel that they were very knowledgeable about every aspect of the home. From the minor cosmetic details down to the more important structural inter workings of a home. I absolutely recommend them to come out and do your inspections!

I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is buying a home. I am a first-time home buyer and Steve and Oliver made this process just a little bit easier and stress-free. They were great with communication before and after the inspection. They were happy to answer whatever questions I had throughout their time at the property. They are also willing to come back for a second inspection to look over anything that may have been fixed!

Excellent work! Steve is very professional, and takes the time to discuss every detail. He also gives you suggestions if there is any work that is needed. My home was built in 1927, and he was very knowledgeable about the issues surrounding older homes. I highly recommend his services!

Oliver recently conducted the inspection on our property and he was fabulous. He navigated a concern with a current tenant despite the inconvenience it caused him and he provided us with an awesome, detailed report while educating us the entire time. He is always able to answer our questions or provide us with resources for more information. Thanks Oliver! We'll be back!

As first time home buyers, Steve and Oliver helped provide a sense of safety and security as they were inspecting. While we weren't present when they arrived, we walked with them as they inspected, asking many questions along the way; Steve and Oliver provided great answers/suggestions/solutions/knowledge on how to best handle what they found. Their input and advice truly provided us a peace of mind during the inspection process. I highly recommend Steve and Oliver for your home inspection services!

This company completed our home inspection as we prepare to close on our house. Very detailed, responsive and arrived on time. Speaks with confidence and explains any problems clearly and simply. With COVID, they masked up, had gloves on and stayed 6-feet away at all times. I am very pleased with the level of detail in the report, as well as information provided that is just good to know as we prepare to be home owners. Also, the report was sent within a couple hours of completing the inspection. Definitely recommend this company!

Steve Yared and his son Oliver were so professional and thorough. They showed me things that I would have never noticed myself in a 30 minute house showing, so that was super nice. I could tell that they were both very honest individuals and were looking out for my best interest. This was my first ever home inspection and I couldn't have been happier with the job Steve and Oliver did.

I would highly recommend The Home Examiner. Steven and Oliver came out to inspect a home on which we placed an offer. They were very thorough in their inspection and did a wonderful job walking me through every detail of their inspection. They were very professional throughout the inspection. At the end of the inspection, they printed a copy of the report and went through everything with us. We also received an electronic version of the report, which was complete with high-definition photos that were expandable. They did a great job and we were happy with our decision to use The Home Examiner to evaluate our home.

We used them to inspect a home we were planning to purchase. He did a thorough job providing pictures and videos of everything he found. There were many things that were not disclosed that were found giving us time to get out of the purchase and saving us so much time, money, and heartache with all the issues we were looking at in the house.

Steve did my home inspection on my first home purchase. He explained everything he was seeing to me; big things that needed to be fixed and small things that I could do to make my new home more comfortable. He answered all of my questions. His final report was detailed and very easy to understand, most likely because everything in his report was discussed in person. And I mean everything! There was nothing in the inspection report that we didn't talk about. Steve made me feel comfortable through the while process.

Oliver did an extremely thorough inspection of the house we were buying, and walked through everything with us. He answered all of our questions and pointed out a TON of things I think other inspectors might have glossed over. Highly recommend and the price was very fair.

They inspected a home that I was in the process of buying. They did a termite inspection and radon testing as well. I learned a lot from Oliver and it was a pleasure working with him.

Very prompt in sending the inspection reports. I feel he went above and beyond in what he did. I would recommend him to anyone that needs any inspections done.

Extremely thorough, very knowledgeable on every aspect of a home, I even asked him about some alternative water heating options that Steve helped explain the pros and cons to each option. Picked every little detail of the home apart in the inspection, so that I knew everything I needed to know going into the biggest purchase of our lives, and more! Very satisfied start to finish with the job he did!

Steve and Ollie have inspected two of my properties over the past few years and each year are incredibly thorough. They explain what to expect on both my 120 year old victorian and a small ranch, as well as take accurate pictures for my contractors to reference. They do excellent work and I will continue to refer friends & colleagues to them.

Very professional and thorough team. It is best if you are present to review findings with them at the house. They will describe important issues, items that should be looked into further by a licensed professional, as well as information that is just for your own knowledge. They present everything in an objective manner. This is the second time we have used their services.
