Hi Kenneth,

I just thought that I would e-mail to let you know how the roof inspection for xxx

Rockview went. You were bang on-- the roof inspection (conducted by McNally

roofing company) did confirm your assessment. There is a problem with the roof-

- the roof inspector thought it would cost $2,000 to fix. We are now in negotiation

to have the seller pay for at least part if not all of this.

I thought you would like to know-- I view it as we are happy we chose you to be

our inspector and I am sure you are always keen to receive such feedback.

Thanks again!

Nathan Magarvey

 

* Brokers and seller thought the inspector was nuts as this was a new “rubber” (EPDM) roof. The

roofing consultant made an invasive (cut into and later patched) inspection and found there was

water that would eventually stain the ceilings and rot the roof structure and create a $30,000

repair.

Single family suburban home

Dear Ken,

My husband and I want to thank you for your wonderful home inspection. Everyone

(myself, my husband, my dad, my mom, the realtor - I know that we had quite a crowd

there) was very impressed with your thoroughness, attention to detail and general breadth

of knowledge. You exceeded our expectations by far. I will be sure to recommend you

to anyone purchasing a house.

Thank you again for your time and effort,

Mollie MacCormack

Dear Ken,

Thank you very much for your thorough and thoughtful inspection and

reporting. Kathy and I are most appreciative and pleased that we were able

to obtain your services on such short notice.

We plan to make provision for the air handler a condition for executing the

P&S agreement and I am forwarding your concerns to my lawyer who was

interested to hear the results of your inspection also.

All best regards,

Norman Hurst

Hey Ken,

Thanks for the e-mail narrative. The information was useful and I used it as back-up for my

negotiation. The seller decided that she was going to have an electrician come in and look at the

panel so we'll see what happens from there. Thanks for all your help and advice. I am extremely

pleased with the job you did. This is my first experience of buying property, so unfortunately, I

   can't compare you to past experiences. But for what it's worth. Mike (my significant other who

accompanied me) said that when he had an inspection done a few years ago, the guy wasn't

nearly as thorough as you were. So Thank you very much. I may need you again in the near

future. If the electrician does some work, I definitely want to have another inspection done on the

electrical work. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Mylene Mejia

A note from one of several clients who supplemented my fee with a

  gratuity (tip)
(large house in Revere)

We really appreciated your exceptional inspection and we were not paying you

for the extra time. We were only giving you a symbolic type of thanks for your

honest way of performing your job.

Thanks again, Carlos & Liliana.

Boston solid brick multilevel
(an experienced buyer)

I wanted to thank you for your help with this inspection. The seller allowed me to

have a roofing contractor go up to give me an estimate. You were correct; the

roof was saturated. Your inspection saved me $8,500 on the price of the building.

Thanks again,

Scott Ross

I asked for $2,000 off after your very thorough inspection, which the seller agreed

to. Once again thank-you for the awesome job. I will recommend your services to

everyone I know buying a house.

Cheers,

Jason Stanley

Feedback on a structural engineer I recommended. (
Boston triple decker with sagging porches)

He seemed very bright, very knowledgeable and experienced. We felt much

better after getting his input (and we have also succeeded in negotiating the price

down based on the things you and he both found, so it was well worth the cost of

both of you!).

Thanks again,

Rachel Grey

Ken, it is refreshing to read your messages. It seems you actually think through

each situation, instead of merely reciting something by rote.

The codes are in many ways the accumulated wisdom the building trades, and it

is important to know them. Heck, they are the vocabulary of building inspection.

However, they are not something that should be used to shut off one’s brain.

Home inspectors have a much more difficult job than jurisdictional inspectors.

They have to know the underlying reasoning behind a safety issue in the code.

Understanding that reasoning, as you seem to, enables them to apply it with

good judgment, instead of simply knowing where it can be found in a book.

Last but not least
(older single family with several additions)

Hi Ken,

I'd like to thank you for the very professional home

inspection you performed for us last week. I can't

stress enough how much my wife and I appreciated the

thoroughness of the inspection, as well as the time you

took to educate us with regard to the problems you found

with the property, and the possibilities for solving them.

As you are no doubt aware, a really good home inspector

is a rare find, and although I did spend some time doing

research before choosing you, I was relieved that the

inspection you performed more than exceeded our

expectations. We especially appreciated the honesty and

candor with which you performed the inspection, as well

as the professional way in which you did your job while

also dealing with the distractions of the seller's agent

and the sellers themselves.

We found your on-site report to be very detailed, and

the narrative report you sent was invaluable to us as a

clear and easy to understand clarification of the most

important issues. As you know, after receiving your

report, we decided to withdraw our offer on the

property. Your attention to detail and your tenacity in

tracking down potential problems certainly saved us tens

of thousands of dollars in repair costs. Thanks to you,

we were able to avoid getting ourselves mired in

a 'money pit.'

We were very pleased with your work and we'll be sure to

recommend your services to others.

Thanks again.

Ian Cooper.
