National Home Inspection Ltd

Do not rely on these inspection reports to purchase a house. They provided an inspection on which I purchased a house in 2017. He completely omitted that the recalled Kitec piping was used for the heating system. It was quite obvious and exposed. This issue was only just brought to my attention by a plumber. There was class action suit but it expired in 2020. Had he disclosed it at the time I could have participated in the class action suit but now I have to pay out of pocket to replace these recalled pipes. This was a huge oversight.

Lorrie and Mark were fantastic, always responsive and understood what I needed to get my report done for my house sale. They helped greatly with advice on deficiencies that could be resolved quickly to improve the property for listing. I could not be happier with their level of professionalism and service. Thanks so much! A+++++++++

We bought a home in early 2018 based on the information in a National Home Inspection. It quickly became obvious that they missed many major problems. To name a few:

The shingles on the roof were said to be in good condition; in actuality, the shingles had been haphazardly patched and as a result were blowing off the roof in even light winds. We were forced to replace all of the shingle on the roof.

The furnace, which was also deemed to be in good condition, actually had a broken motor. The sound of the furnace running made it obvious that there was a problem. We had to have the motor replaced.

The HVAC technician replacing the motor noticed that the water heater was also damaged. In fact, it appears that the water heater had caught fire at some point and was melted. So, there goes the water heater.

Now we are finding out that we have lead pipes. I looked out for this one specifically when buying a house because we have a baby. The report explicitly states that the water pipes had been upgraded to copper.

All of these things have cost me thousands of dollars and jeopardized the safety of my family. Not to mention the fact that I made the decision to buy this house on the information in the report.

So really, why even bother having an inspection done by National Home Inspection? Not only did they fail to find anything of importance, they seemed to actually cover up major problems.

we have used MARK GODDARD for 2 house inspections and he is very knowledgeable and has such a good attitude/ energy, he is giving a lot of good advises and information in that 1, 1.5hr hour visit, you feel a lot more confident after . TAKE NOTES because Mark speaks fast!

I was in need of a home inspection for a home I was hoping to purchase. The team at National Home Inspection were fantastic right from my first phone call with them through the entire inspection process. The inspector was very thorough and provided a detailed report of the house and patiently answered all of my questions. They made me much more confident in my purchase decision.

National Home Inspection was suggested to us by our real estate agent. Richard Gaughan inspected two homes for us, one of which we bought and are extremely happy with. But was only able to tell us that the roof was not new.

fully and thoroughly dissected my home and left me satisfied and extremely knowledgable with a thorough understanding of the bad and good of my property. a great positive experience. and they were right and missed nothing. 100% satisfied.

Mark Goddard is an fantastic home inspector. His reports are detailed and extremely helpful. He inspected our home before we bought it; it is a quirky 100 year old house and while it has many issues, three years in there has not been a single problem that he did not identify or predict. In fact, the sellers had provided a pre-sale inspection on the home; Mark identified several issues which their inspector had missed.
Mark's report has basically been a guide for us as we proceed with various necessary renovations. We recently asked him to come back for a review of an emerging water situation in our basement; he gave us advice which various waterproofing companies had totally overlooked. We would absolutely recommend him to others -- you will not be disappointed! We know we will be calling him when it comes time for our next home.

Very pleased-Richard did an excellent, comprehensive review and provided great advice and tips.....definitely recommend this company! He takes the time to do the job properly and provides an in-depth report that is very helpful for the future.
