Mr. Owens did a pre-purchase inspection a few months ago and now, following purchase, I've had the opportunity to compare reality with the the report. Sad to say he missed several important items. He identified one inoperable sash window. In fact there are two and the others are in poor condition, several with plastic trim that has become brittle and cracked and torn, brittle rubber seals. It looks like many windows haven't been opened or cleaned in many years. I removed several old hornet's nests as I spent several hours cleaning the accumulated multi-year grime and getting latches to work properly He didn't mention that the vanities in the bathrooms are all 6 inches lower than normal, so will need to be replaced, which in turn will require relocation of wall plugs and mirrors.. A pretty significant expense. He identified that at some point the interior plumbing had been changed to CPVC. What he didn't say was that in many places this is now exterior plumbing. Hot and cold lines now run outside the house, above ground in places and the piping hasn't been painted or insulated. The plumber I've employed said this was a terrible job but Mr. Owens apparently didn't think so. He didn't note that some cabinet doors in the kitchen had become delaminated and stuck together with tape.They will need to be replaced. The cooker is set up so that the oven is at ground level...when you open the door it literally lies on the ground. He didn't point that out.
As the prospective buyer I should have examined the house more closely but, I imagine like many people, I assumed the inspector would clearly identify at least the most obvious problems. I was wrong.

Highly recommend! Adam did an inspection on the house I am buying. Very professionnal, very thorough, took the time to explain things. I am very satisfied of the service and highly recommend this enterprise!
