About Your Inspection

My inspiration was very detailed and the inspectors had pictures to back up every item that was pointed out in the report. Once the inspection was over the inspectors explained everything to me and answered all my questions.

Thorough, knowledgeable, responsive and doesn’t miss a detail. Building Confidence is the absolute best, I won’t use another inspector.

Had a great experience we’re on time very responsive answered all the question I had and let me know a lot about a home I was in the process of purchasing quality work and communications skills.

VERY GOOD! HELPED US MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT THE HOUSE. WE WILL USE YOU GUYS AGAIN

Evan Treu did an excellent job! My clients were very happy with the thorough inspection, and Evan was professional and super nice. We got the detailed report the same day. Highly recommend! Thanks, Evan!

Very awesome to work with. Great detail and answered all of our questions. Much appriciated.

They were referred to us by our realtor and they did an amazing job! They sat down with us right after the inspection and went through their process in detail and explained everything in a clear and concise way. They then walked us through their process home, pointing out small details and giving us explanations of what they found and thorough feedback on what we can do moving forward. The very detailed report, with photos, was sent to us right after and it helped to inform things we need to take into account with decisions we need to make. Overall they were very helpful and I greatly recommend them to anyone who need reliable people to do a home inspection.

Building confidence has done several home and termite inspections for my clients. They have always been very professional and punctual. They give an overall review at the end of each inspection and even provide us with a list of suggested repairs. I highly recommend their services!Jerrod Helms, Broker-In-Charge,Helms Real Estate, LLC

Amazing experience with Vincent and his team. Our situation was a bit unique as it relates to timing as we are moving to the area from the midwest and needed a quick turnaround -- and -- were unable to be on-site for the inspection of a home we purchased without physically seeing. Vincent was able to jump on the project within 24 hours of the request and we had the results later that afternoon. I particularly liked the digital reporting format and how it was arranged for ease of use. The inspection identified a few areas that needed to be addressed by the Seller and they are attending to those issues prior to our close. Again, really appreciate the time and talent associated with the work and it was a tremendous piece of mind for us as we get ready to move to the area in the coming weeks. Great experience and would utilize his services again without any reservation.

They were professional and did a fantastic job inspecting the entire property. Report was detailed. Pictures from the roof, crawlspace, and detailed pictures. Highly recommended

Vincent and his team were very helpful and personable. They were accommodating and answered my questions to the best of their ability. Thank you!

Extremely nice and great to work with!

We had a great experience. Mark was very thorough and explained everything in detail. Would use again for sure!

Very pleased with the inspection conducted by Vincent and partner. Very thorough and professional, with a detailed report provided afterward. I especially appreciated the fact that they were willing to spend time explaining their findings and answering my many questions! Highly recommend.

Quality work. Very prompt and proficient. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Very professional and efficient.From scheduling to inspecting to the final report you could not have asked for a more professional and pleasant experience

Great experience from start to finish. Loved the communication prior to the inspection. Vincent was very professional and friendly. The report was very detailed and provided to me in a very timely manner. Highly recommend!

My realtor recommended Mark and he was thorough in my walk through and was pleasant to work with.

You will not find anyone else that does a better job than Buikding Science Home inspections. I am a licensed NC Real Estate Agent and always recommend and use them for my clients and for myself.

First, it was stated that only 2 hours were needed for inspection (scheduled at 9am, review at 11am). A thorough inspection needs much longer. Normally, I give the benefit of the doubt. However, this deserves to be shared so that others don't experience a horrible "home inspection". At first all seemed fine. Then before closing, during my last "walk through", I discovered a burnt out GFCI outlet on the exterior of the home. Texted Mark (the inspector) and he stated "perhaps it burnt out after my inspection". So I texted home owners, they said it was a known issue and had been present for some time. Clue number one that corners were cut. Then I realized that every single outlet in the garage was filled with dirt dauber nest. So, it is 100% safe to say that NONE of those outlets were checked. We had to hire an electrician to fix the issue for the GFCI, Mark offered to pay this and admitted he may have made a mistake. We were NEVER sent the money. After move in, we discovered a leak behind the washer. So the first week we moved in, after paying $1200 for an "inspection", we are repairing a leak and drywall. Again, Mark offered to pay for this via insurance. Long story short, I repaired it myself and asked for $800 to cover expenses. Reply was "send before and after photos so that insurance can take care of it", you would think $800 would be cheaper out of pocket rather than an insurance claim. I will stop here, but quick other items missed: roof vents dry rotted, guest bathroom tub not draining, dryer vent unhooked, exposed wires in crawlspace, leak from guest bath toilet line under crawlspace. Although they did find some issues that were important to note, these issues were very obvious, so I could have seen myself. Additionally, the "termite inspection" was signed off by Vincent, who didn't come to the property. I will leave out comments that were made to the real estate agent. This could have easily been a positive review, but when someone says they will do something, they should do it, a man is only as good as his word. The issues, for myself, aren't major as I can repair them. For someone else this could be a big deal. Please take this feedback and try to do better.

The service is always excellent very informative and they always present with a professional and positive attitude!!

The inspection performed by Vincent, with Building Science Home Inspections, went smoothly. Vincent was very knowledgeable and very personable. He did an excellent job explaining his findings to my elderly Mother and she understood everything!

Professional and efficient- Thsnks!

Overall, I would not recommend Building Sciences Inspection for anyone who is looking for a thorough home inspection. In effort to leave constructive feedback, I will outline both the positives and the negatives. Mark was very nice and pleasant and how he reported and presented the data was clean and easy to follow. Mark also was candid and reassuring about his advice on specific questions we had after walking through the house. We received mostly better than expected news on our older house and left the inspection feeling great. However, our issues came in the days after the inspection. When we first received our inspection report, I reviewed it and all looked consistent with what we went over with Mark. When my girlfriend checked the report later that day, she saw a discrepancy and that there was now a check for the presence of powder post beetles in the insect report (this still does not show when I open the report). Mark had previously not mentioned this during the walk through and did not include any pictures. When I messaged Mark the next day, he just replied that it was not a big deal, it didn't need an mediation, and to not be concerned and ignored my follow up. After researching powder post beetles and talking to different pest control companies, it became apparent that this could be a significant issue and at the very least should not be ignored. We paid for another wood eating insect inspection, this time by a specialized pest control expert, and he did not find any signs of powder post beetles. However, he did find evidence of termites in the front section of the crawl space and was surprised they were not noted. Luckily, it was still during the due diligence period and will still have time to work with the seller on sharing any of the related costs. We get that inspections are not perfect and sometimes things can be missed, even if it is a major finding. What really surprised us was that Mark did not mention the powder post beetles during the walk through and that it only showed up on one of the reports (luckily we both checked it or we would have never known). And when did bring it up with him, he seemed to dismiss it and his advice to not worry about it went against everything we read or heard. They're a family business and work in areas I grew up and currently live, so I hope they do value this feedback. When hiring an inspector, I think most people would value communication and a high level of attention to detail. Unfortunately that was not what we experienced with Building Sciences and I would not use their services or recommend to another home buyer.

Mark did a great job with my Home Inspection and provided me the report in less than 24 hours. Very thorough and professional!
