Inspector Paul

I almost did not get an inspection because the home was new, of course passed code enforcement inspections, and the builder had a great reputation. a friend talked me into hiring Inspector Paul, he is not only the best inspector in Charlotte, he's clearly one of the best in the world. The deck was not properly secured to the home andat risk of collapse. Sveral engineered roof trusses were damaged and had no repairs, he also reported that with the type of foundation it was basically impossible to anchor the home to the foundation. Of course the builder disagreed, but Inspector Paul had so much supporting information that it was easy to see that Inspector Paul was right on the money. If you are thinking of buying a home in the Charlotte, NC or Fort Mill , SC area hiring Inspector Paul before you buy is thebest decision you can eve make. He saved us from tens thousands of dollars in unforseen repairs and prevented us from buying a nightmare. more

My house passed a series of code inspections, at least 4 other home inspections for prevoius purchasers, and a pre listing inspection. Inspector Paul found several major structural issues that should have been easily caught by someone with the proper knowledge. His report gave the supporting documentation backing his recommendation that a professional engineer needed to design the repairs. The sellers could not understand how their two inspectors missed what was so obvious once the issues were pointed out. Pros: knowledge, hard working, experience Cons: not the cheap inspector, but hiring him saved me thousands more

I've bought several homes and hired numerous inspectors and I've never seen anyone look over a home with such professionalism and detail. He found a small roof leak way over in the corner of the attic, rotted wood in the farthest and tightest corner of the crawlspace, problems inside the electrical panel. I thought I knew a lot about construction, but he showed me structural issues in my home that many people would not see because the builder just plain forgot to install bracing all over the attic. Inspector Paul pointed out numerous small issues that would become large if not corrected. I'll never hire any one else again. Pros: Absolutely the most professional home inspector Cons: He charges a little more than some other inspectors, but is worth every penny more

He spent several hourrs at my home, digging into every corner, finding gas leaks, a slew of structural issues most would have not caught, was polite, professional, and caring. He emailed me a written report that was almost 30 pages long and filled with pictures, and manufacturers data supporting his findings. He is truely a PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTOR Pros: caring, detail oriented, professional Cons: is often booked out a week or more more
