They looked at a few houses for me, and upon looking at the final house seemed like they were tired of doing their job; a job for which they were well paid each time. They skipped through the inspection in a rush while I was pointing out

We encountered major difficulty after buying a home inspected by them. We knew there was a musty smell so we had testing done. The original inspector gave a brief report with no details and a "score" for mold risk. They sampled the air and it came back with one species higher than background. You have to be a scientist to read the test report, lucky I am one. I had concerns and then the head person was directed to speak to me. He first offered to go to the property himself. I could not verify as I was out of town. He spoke to me and went on and on instead of making a point, but downplayed the counts and the presence as temporary. We bought the home thinking that a little bleach would clean up any minor problem. Wrong.
The place was full of mold. We tore out items left by the sellers, all moldy in back. We tore out other items in the house. We hired a remediation firm to handle the rest. We still had to do most ourselves. So some thousands of dollars later we are barely moved in and barely avoided a toxic home (also with water problems which had to be addressed). It was only by taking immediate action did we avoid utter disaster but not a great deal of mental and emotional anguish.
This firm did the most cursory inspection and did not perform as needed and did not even find the surface molds that existed. Get an independent, BBB certified inspector for yourself then do an inspection yourself. And if you smell anything, know it is a problem and walk away from that home.
