We chose AA Elite to inspect the century home we considered purchasing, based on the number of positive reviews from customers. Steve did a thorough inspection of the old home, answering all our questions during and after the process, and even providing a “crash course” on infrared camera inspection prior to checking the entire house for temperature and moisture related issues. He invited me along so I could see the results and get explanations where needed.
This will be the 6th home we’re purchasing, and we’ve had inspections for all of them, but I have to say that this was the best experience we’ve had on several levels: Steve went all out to check this home, built in 1901, literally from top to bottom, pointed out real or potential problem areas, took standard and infrared photos of all problem items for the report, and made suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even noticed items that I’m sure many inspectors wouldn’t have: for example, that one of the 3 twisted overhead hydro cables supplying power to the house was snapped and hanging down, more than 50 ft from the house behind mature trees, although power was still being supplied to the house (we subsequently informed the agent and hydro company).
At the end of the inspection, we appreciated that he verbally outlined the major problem areas, prior to following up with a detailed, online inspection report that can be saved and printed, and contains useful links. We would highly recommend Steve and AA Elite to anyone who’s planning on getting an inspection done, especially if they want to be absolutely confident about a purchasing decision. If we ever need another home inspected, we'll definitely hire AA Elite again.
