I had an home inspector from the above named company. He Mr Christopert produced an inspection license on his brojure of License/certificate number of 260159. I later discovered he took an home course not involed with the stateof Maine that doesn'tissue such license,
First complaint, His report indicates fiber glass in an enclouser in a bathroom tub /shower. He was incorrect. When i called him to explain his inspection on this was incorrect. I tried to imform him of other errors. He said ," have a good day :"and hung the phone up..
There is more. His report that the outside faucet on the back of the hous is not working. I later checked it and discovered plenty of water after in turned the inside valve on,
Thats only a few. I wouldn't tell this inspector if his pants to be on fire.
In reponse to this post, the Home Inspection in reference was conducted in August of 2016. I was not contacted until May 24th of 2017, (nearly 10 months later), by an individual who was not my client. I have yet to be contacted by the person with whom I was actually contracted with regarding this inspection. In my desire to provide my clients with a quality Home Inspection I attended the American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT) which is made up of both online and On-Site Classes. Upon completion, I applied for certification through American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and was granted a certification number. The ASHI certification number is the one included in all company Documents, not a Maine License number. The State of Maine does not require a License for Home Inspectors, but my company strives to go above and beyond standard requirments.
In reference to the complaint:
My report stated a fireglass tub as that is what was there at time of inspection. In addition at that time, there was no evidence of deteriortation on surrounding area.
