Thank you Shiraz. I am happy you enjoyed the service. When mentioning cracks in the foundation there are really two kinds. Typical minor cracks that I see on every poured concrete foundation and structural cracks. When it is structural cracks, meaning the structure is or has been moving, we always recommend a structural engineer assess it. Typical minor cracks, as noted in your report, are not a structural issue and, again, as mentioned in your report, should be repaired if water penetration occurs. there was no indication of water penetration at the time of inspection.

I do hope you enjoy your home.

4Sight Home inspection

Michael was friendly, courteous, punctual and very knowledgeable. Michael was able to identify significant concerns on a house we bought conditional on inspection and spotted issues that were not disclosed to us by the sellers.

Due to Michael's diligence, we ended up not purchasing the home due to significant costs we would've incurred had we gone through with the sale. Michael definitely saved us purchasing a home that would've just been a headache in the long run.

Although our house search continues, I am glad we found 4sight Home Inspections and will be using them when we find our next home to purchase for sure!

Inspection for a house sale

As soon as Michael stepped onto the property, I knew I had made the right choice in hiring him. He was incredibly compassionate and understanding as he carefully went through all the issues he had found. Within an hour, I received a detailed report from him. Michael took the time to educate me on the various items in the report, providing me with information on costs and whether certain things required significant fixes or not. Most importantly, Michael is an exceptional person.

I'm a realtor and have worked with many home inspectors. Michael impressed me with his ability to separate himself from the many available. Through his professionalism, prompt response, organization, presentation, and his people skills. It was truly a pleasure working with him.

Look elsewhere if you want to catch issues beyond the obvious.

Had scheduled a home inspection in July for our current home. Mike was prompt and completed the home inspection. We were first-time home buyers so he showed us the basics of what we should be looking for - furnaces, windows, pipe leaks, etc. Since there was nothing major, we ended up closing on the house.

The first sign that the home inspection was sub-par was when we hired a contractor to do a small renovation in Sept. He took a look at the house and showed us several spots in the house where it was newly painted and thought that the home inspector should've investigated it more thoroughly. The contractor investigated things for us for free and mentioned that there might have been a window leak before but it's been fixed. We were relieved.

In Nov, during the rain, we found a leak in the garage ceiling. Tracing it vertically to the attic, we found that there was a leak sourcing from the chimney back panel. Upon calling a roofer, he said that this leak had been going on for over a year and that the home inspector should've caught it. I distinctly remember 3 days before the home inspection that there was a thunderstorm and even remember Mike mentioning that it was a good sign that there was no moisture found in the attic or the basement even after the storm. The well-trained eye of a good home inspector would've spotted a drying wet patch in the garage ceiling. Obviously, in this case, it went unnoticed and it was very clear that the home inspection was not thorough.

Upon contacting Mike and mentioning this, we asked if anything could be done to assist financially through his inspection guarantee. To my absolute surprise, he simply washed his hand off by saying that it's beyond the 30-day timeline. While this is technically true, I would like to highlight a couple of points:

1. He did not even acknowledge that his home inspection was not thorough or he missed this incident. No apology, no acknowledgment.
2. If you give him a full rating on Google review or Homestars, we would be eligible to be entered into a draw to get our home inspection money back. Given that his incompetence has resulted in a $1000 loss for us now to fix our chimney, you'd think the least he could have done is to refund our inspection money. But nope!

The absolute lack of acknowledgment of a flawed inspection, the lack of an apology, the lack of even a shred of care to come down to our house to see what the problem was and to see if he could refer us to someone, while quickly pointing out the technical timeline clause for his guarantee is what made me write this review.

For those first-time home buyers or in general for those of you who are considering 4Sight, just be aware that certain obvious things get missed and you could lose your negotiating power with the seller for repairs. Additionally, if you spot them too late, that nice-on-paper inspection guarantee is basically useless.

So nice to hear from you. I am sorry you are not happy with all of your results. Let's break this down, as your message is quite long. I will reply to the areas that are relevant.

Your inspection was five months ago.
A lot can happen in five months. A wind storm can damage shingles or flashings causing leaks
If it had rained prior to the inspection then, yes, that is great as if there are leaks, they would be visible. Nothing was visible by eye and the thermal camera did not pick up any issues so, it was dry at that time. To say "The well-trained eye of a good home inspector would've spotted a drying wet patch in the garage ceiling" is only relevant if there was a drying wet patch. Even if not visible the thermal camera would pick it up. If there was any previous damage there it was dry at the time of the inspection and not visible.
I did NOT acknowledge that the home inspection was not thorough because it was thorough.
Yes, I have a promotion for people to win their home inspection fee back.
The guarantee is good for 30 days and is good for items that "could have been seen". If it is not present during the home inspection then it cannot be seen.
A final note, If you buy something at a store with a 30 day guarantee and try to return it 5 months later for a refund, do you think you will get your money back. It is a 30 day guarantee that we offer. Not a whenever things go wrong guarantee. Home ownership is tough sometimes when you have to deal with unexpected things and, with all due respect, I wish you the best with your home but I completely disagree with your assessment of this scenario.

Home Inspection

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Michael as my home inspector, and I must say, his work exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, he displayed a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. I am more than happy to provide this glowing Google review for Michael and his outstanding services.

First and foremost, Michael's thoroughness in conducting the home inspection was truly commendable. He left no stone unturned, meticulously examining every nook and cranny of the property. His keen eye caught even the smallest of issues, ensuring that I had a comprehensive understanding of the home's condition.

I was particularly impressed by Michael's ability to identify areas that required immediate attention. He skillfully pointed out potential problems that, if left unaddressed, could have led to significant issues down the road. His expertise and experience were evident as he provided me with insightful explanations and recommendations to rectify these concerns.

Not only was Michael highly knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the inspection, but he also took the time to patiently answer all my questions. He explained complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt informed and empowered to make informed decisions about the property.

Furthermore, Michael's professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire inspection process a breeze. He arrived on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and resources. His friendly and approachable nature fostered a comfortable environment, allowing me to freely discuss any concerns I had about the property.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael for any home inspection needs. His outstanding attention to detail, comprehensive analysis, and ability to identify areas of immediate attention set him apart from the rest. If you are seeking a top-notch home inspector who goes above and beyond, look no further than Michael. I am grateful for his services and will definitely be reaching out to him for any future inspections.

Thank you, Michael, for your exceptional work!
