“Paul performed a complete home inspection prior to the purchase of our new home.  His inspection was intended to reveal major structural flaws and/or systems failures.  Upon completion of the inspection, Paul provided a thorough and complete report.  I can't say enough good things about Paul and the job he did for me.  I asked Paul to do the inspection because of the compelling case he made on his website, www.inspectorpaul.com.  What I received blew away my expectations.  Paul found numerous items in our new construction home that could have been far more problematic had they gone unnoticed.  He identified a structural problem in one of the trusses in the attic, a malfunctioning water indicator in the drip pan of the air exchanger, and numerous difficult to spot problems with the exterior of our home.  He also identified an improperly located carbon monoxide detector.  Paul took the time to explain every one of these items, as well as the repercussions if left unresolved.  Once his inspection was complete, we received an UNBELIEVABLY thorough report -- this thing contained pictures with arrows!  I found out that my builder had actually solicited Paul to come work for them at one point.  GREAT JOB PAUL!! THANKS!” – posted on Angie’s List by Richard Krouse –Fort Mill / Regent Park, SC

“INSPECTOR PAUL PERFORMED AN UNDER CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION OF OUR NEW HOME.  HE INSPECTED STRUCTURAL ITEMS SUCH AS ROOF STRUCTURE AND COVERING, SIDING AND TRIM, PLUMBING, HEATING, AND VENT SYSTEMS.  INSPECTOR PAUL ARRIVED AS SCHEDULED AND PERFORMED A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH INSPECTION.  HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH BUILDING CODES AND REQUIREMENTS.  HE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PERSONABLE AND INTERFACED WITH BOTH US AS HOMEOWNERS AND THE CONTRACTOR WITH TACT.  HE WAS THOROUGH AND INVOLVED IN HIS WORK.  HIS FINAL REPORT WAS EXCELLENT WITH BOTH PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS.  THE REPORT WAS BOTH COMPLETE AND ON TIME.  HE CALLED US THE EVENING THE INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED TO ASK IF WE HAD ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.  WE ALSO CALLED HIM THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH A QUESTION THAT WOULD ENABLE US TO BETTER UNDERSTAND A GROUNDING SITUATION SO THAT WE COULD ENSURE THE BUILDER CONFORMED TO CODE.  HE WAS EASY TO CONTACT AND VERY RESPONSIVE TO OUR QUESTION.  ALSO THE BILLING SYSTEM INSPECTOR PAUL USES IS SLICK!” - posted on Angie's List by Robert & Jill John - Fort Mill / Sun City Carolina Lakes, SC

“Mr. King arrived at the property on time and was still there after I left with the building manager 4 hours later.  It could not have gone better. He found things that needed attention I surely would not have though of. It was money well spent and the 32 page report was very helpful and got the builders attention.” – Posted On Angie’s List – Gerald Bagnall – Fort Mill / Baxter, SC

“Paul performed an inspection of a newly built home approximately one week prior to scheduled closing.  Contacted Paul and set an appointment for the inspection. Due to new construction, I had a few concerns and questions about the timing that Paul was helpful in answering and offering advice. He advised that we only needed one inspection close to closing since home was already midway through construction. Inspection went well and was extremely thorough. I attended the inspection (recommended) and was surprised it took three+ hours, however that time was well spent and I was thankful for Paul doing such a good job. As said, Paul was extremely thorough and excellent at explaining potential issues to a home construction newbie. By the time I received the report, I felt like I fully understood all issues, including consequences if left unattended. Paul demonstrated more than once that he is current on emerging issues with construction techniques and products. The report was easy to read, understand, and full of supporting detail and links to additional documentation. Well worth the price.” Posted on Angie’s List by Mike Meyer – Fort Mill, SC

 

 

"  Paul is amazing! He is detailed and thorough, personable and kind. Really he paid for himself because I believe he found important things that other inspectors may never have found (like a gas leak from the water heater!) He is a wonderful advocate for his clients and I feel fortunate I chose him during the home buying process." -Sarah Coats - Charlotte, NC - Posted on Google

 

"   Very good. The entire process was excellent. Evelyn Stapleton - Waxhaw, NC -Posted on Google

 

" Paul did a bang-up job. He even went back after he'd left to look at something again. We had a report from an inspector the selling agent had hired, but Paul found a lot of things that weren't mentioned on the other list. I hope whoever wants to buy our old house doesn't hire Paul to do an inspection!" - MIKE MCLOUGHLIN - Harrisburg, NC - Posted on Angie's List

"Inspector Paul (Paul King) performed both a pre-drywall as well as pre-closing final inspection of our new construction home.  Paul did an excellent job with both inspections and maintained a very professional relationship with our construction superintendent. Our construction superintendent was not only impressed with the quality and scope of some of Inspector Paul's findings, but was also pleased in that Paul did not include several items in his pre-drywall inspection report which obviously had not been completed or performed at that time, as they were not yet due for completion in the construction process. Inspector Paul took additional time to walk the house with my wife and me to explain any findings or items of note in detail with my wife and me so that we gained a good understanding of key aspects of our new home and could properly follow up on any items requiring resolution with the builder. He also spent time answering general construction questions that we had about various details of the house and the construction process to provide us assurance and comfort with the overall process. Being that Inspector Paul is a former contractor himself, he also provided excellent insight into various aspects of the home construction process (both positive and negative) and advice and warnings against future changes or renovations to our home structure. One of our builder's regional construction managers noticed a copy of Inspector Paul's pre-closing final inspection report while performing a walk-through of our house, and upon reviewing it was very impressed with the quality of his findings and lack of knit-pick items in his report, which he said they often see in independent home inspection reports.

Category: HOME INSPECTION

Work Done: Yes

Hire Again: Yes

Paul came out and performed the home inspection for the home we are currently in contract to buy. I was not present, but my wife was. She said that Paul was very thorough and professional. The inspection report was very detailed, and gives us a great idea of what condition the house is in.

Inspector Paul was great to work with. He was able to schedule us right away, which I was concerned about, as most online reviews had said he is usually booked up weeks in advance. The only thing that went wrong was that my wife's credit card was charged twice, but Paul called the very next morning to apologize for the mistake, and let us know that the improper charge had been taken care of as soon as the mistake was made. I have since been able to use his detailed report to compile a list of issues we will need to address if we buy this home. I would recommend Inspector Paul to anyone looking for a home inspector.
