At first, I thought Brian was a great inspector. He spent nearly 3 hours going through a 750 sq ft condo with what appeared to be a fine tooth comb. He found problems that ended up not really being problems after we got an actual professional in the home to assess what he had deemed to be portions of the home that needed replacing or costly repairs.
Additionally, he missed a very obvious gas leak from an oven range that he never even thought to test once. Instead he focused on menial items like down-spouts on a bathtub or the $20 plastic tray under a washing machine. I would have been fine spending $250 for his service, but he cost more than my appraisal for less useful information. I would not be recommending him, at least when it comes to buying a condo. I've owned 4 properties and this inspection cost double my last one for 1/3 the usefulness.
He pointed out so many items that were ultimately inconsequential, that we almost considered giving up on the property even though we got a pretty great price. I'm glad I went with my instincts and not his advice, otherwise I would have been scared out of a great deal.
