Alban Inspections

Inspector missed many things when conducting inspection which has resulting my having to take care of a number of issues since moving in last May, including (most recently) replacing the A/C + heating unit for the first floor of my house, which cost about $9k – due to needing to install an outdoor unit, plus replace significant amounts of duct work, run new electrical, etc. HVAC folks who looked at the unit when I was planning to replace said that it was blatantly obvious that the unit was problematic (and installed incorrectly) and that, at a minimum, I should have been told to get an HVAC person to take a look before closing on the house.

The inspector was nice, however it seemed that he was only concerned with minor, superficial things, not structural or other major issues. He missed the HUGE crack in the foundation and water damage in the basement, the exposed (and ancient) electrical), the mold and the bathroom window and wall that were basically held together with caulk. He did tell me I should make the owner fix the toilet because it rocked a little. Are you kidding me??? Perhaps if I had called Alban’s management when I started discovering these issues they would have made it right, however the contract they (and all other inspectors) have you sign basically says that they are not responsible for things they missed.

The inspector inspected each room thoroughly offering recommendations for a few parts of the house that needed work. The inspection report was easy to read and refer to later. Additionally, pictures were provided in the report to help the home owner identify what specifically needed fixed

Had my home inspected by these guys prior to my house sale. Within a week had to replace the sewer line that had a break and backed up. Within a month a chimney line break. Within 2 months a main water line break. Over 10000 dollars in clearly missed prior defects I’m a first time home buyer and I put my trust in these guys because I didn’t have the experience to see these things and it has been a miserable few months with massive expenses that they should have warned me about

They were great! I was able to schedule everything at once (standard home inspection, termite, radon, and mold) and they took good care of me. The inspector was incredibly thorough and walked me through all of his findings. Highly recommend!

We’re preparing to put our home on the market. Robert performed a pre-offer inspection for us. He was extremely friendly and thorough. He spent plenty of time with us, explaining every detail and answering all our questions. After I left I said to my wife “What an awesome value for the price!”. I’m very impressed!
