Prodeje79 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've found some older threads referencing Mike Holmes and patch. Any recent recommendations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Don cockrell 614-804-2470. Don was extremely personal, put me to work. I followed him around checking the house and signing off. After the inspection i felt extremely confident with my purchase. I wasnt just taking his word for it. I paid $250.00 and would use him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBaustert Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Jim Troth at Habitat Investigation. Dude put on coveralls and crawled under my house for an hour. Very thorough. http://www.homeinspectionsinohio.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodeje79 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 This was the prior thread:http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111141 I had called the rick patch guy first and still hasn't heard back. Luke's dad answered immediately, but looking like I may need Friday and he is booked then already. Haven't finalized but looking like I may get the Jim Troth from Habitation Investigation LLC. http://www.homeinspectionsinohio.com/index.html I love the online scheduler.

RyM3rC Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Used Patch Home Inspections, did an excellent job. Was very friendly and easy to work with, didn't mind me asking him non-stop questions during the inspection and his report was idiot-proof. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Jim Troth at Habitat Investigation. Dude put on coveralls and crawled under my house for an hour. Very thorough. http://www.homeinspectionsinohio.com/ +1!!! Jim didn't do mine, it was his partner that came out, but holy hell was he thorough! I was highly impressed.

DavidBaustert Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 +1!!! Jim didn't do mine, it was his partner that came out, but holy hell was he thorough! I was highly impressed. The report format was really nice. If I knew where I saved mine, I'd send it to the OP for an FYI. Jim had this sweet ladder I've been meaning to pick up too: http://www.contractortalk.com/attachments/f40/56669d1318082552-telescoping-ladder-does-anyone-have-one-p11190823.jpg Edit: Here's a sample http://www.homeinspectionsinohio.com/uploads/Sample_home_inspection_report_march_2013.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked one up at Sherwin Williams on sale a couple years ago. It's surprisingly sturdy, you just can't carry a lot of weight up it.

harmonda Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Chris Nelson from Habitat is coming out to do our inspection on a house we went into contract on over the weekend. I mentioned seeing them on here and they say they've been getting steady business from this forum. I'll post up my feedback after I get their report.

Moe7 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Jim and Mike (from Habitat) both came out for my inspection last year. Did a thorough job and the report was very clear and informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01sentrase2.0 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Some inspectors do insect and septic, but most have guys they call instead. Call my dad at 614-746-6906. He will do the inspection. And have others do the insect and septic. Been in the business almost 15 years. His name is thad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I recently used Jim Troth at habitation. Spendy for the inspection but they did a great job, answered all of my questions, and provided a great report that was quite useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am set up with linkhorn.. patch was too far out on dates. I'll let you know how it goes, they were able to get me in next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I spent all afternoon on the phone getting inspection quotes: Thad (01sentrase2.0's dad) was unfortunately the most expensive out of the six businesses I contacted. His rate also did not include the septic/well inspection, in which the contact he gave me never returned my call. Linkhorn was the second most expensive, although they did everything as a package and were a "one stop shop" providing all services without farming out to a 3rd party. Patch was the third most expensive and couldn't set up the septic/well, they told me to call Benchmark to set that up. HouseMaster was the fourth most expensive and set up their septic/well through a 3rd party. Habitation Investigation was second to last on pricing, but again referred me to Benchmark to set up my own septic/well inspection. Benchmark is not licensed in Muskingum County and all they could do was refer me to the County Board of Health for further inspection assistance. ARS Inspections was by far the most inexpensive, provides their own well inspection, and handles a 3rd party for the septic. This is who I scheduled with, I will update after everything happens.

Rocky31186 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I highly recommend linkhorn. They did a very thorough inspection on my home. 4 hours worth. Also used that ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Their 3rd party Benchmark labs came to do the well and septic testing, while I don't think the 30 minutes they were there was worth the 150$ he did inspect and explain and show me everything about the system.

How did the ARS inspection go? The missus and i are likely going to put a bid on a house tomorrow and need to have our ducks in a row before hand. Edit, just saw they were out of ZZV. probably too far for Delaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
