Below are actual client testimonials for home inspections we performed in the Charlotte, Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and surrounding areas. Most of the client reviews below were taken from reviews we received online.
Mr. Funderburk performed a complete a thorough
inspection on a home we plan to purchase, inspecting all major interior and
exterior components and systems. He provided us with a detailed report in
which he laid out all defects, great and small.
Our inspection was scheduled to begin at 6:15
pm. I intended to be present at the beginning and end of the inspection to
meet Mr. Funderburk and (at the end) get an overview of his findings. Mr.
Funderburk arrived promptly at 6:15 and thoroughly explained what how and
what he was going to inspect and, just as importantly, the limits of a home
inspection. I had intended to be present only at the very beginning in
order to meet Mr. Funderburk and again at the end to get an overview of his
findings in advance of his written report, leaving him alone to do his job.
It turned out that I stayed for a while to discuss some matters with my
realtor. As he would complete an area or system, Mr. Funderburk reported to
me major findings, showing me the conditions first hand. Just as it was
time for him to go under the house, a torrential thunderstorm hit full
force. Undaunted, he completed his inspection.
This will be, God willing, our fourth house purchase. With other inspectors (all of whom were fine inspectors--no complaints about their work) I received an 8 to 10 page report. Within 24 hours of this inspection, Mr. Funderburk provided us with a detailed 47 page inspection report complete with photographs illustrating significant findings. With observations ranging from the major (e.g., a rotting floor) to the miniscule (e.g., a poorly adjusted strike plate on a bedroom door), the report reflected the thoroughness of Mr. Funderburk's work. Throughout the entire experience, from the phone call in advance of the inspection to the final report, Mr. Funderburk exhibited the utmost courtesy and professionalism. This is a model company. If I am in need of another inspection in this area, I will never consider using anyone else. M. Lattimore, client
Alpha & Omega performed a home inspection on a newly built home. Since this was a new build (which was already completed when I started the process) and the place looked to be in good shape to the naked/novice eye, I almost didn't go thought with a home inspection. I finally decided to use Alpha and Omega and boy did I make the right decision. I walked through the property on my own and didn't find too many issues but when I brought in A&O in they found all of the issues I missed and would have missed with several more walk-throughs on my own. I can safely save that they saved me thousands of dollars. As a matter of fact, A&O pointed out issues with my furnace that wouldn't have surfaced until months later when I would have fired up the heating system. Joe did an amazing job, he explained things at a detailed level, took the time to show and explain all issues and documented all issues to forward to my builder. Joe was pleasant to work with and was extremely professional. Believe me when I say, You won't be sorry!!!!!! and this will be the best few hundred bucks you can spend on such a huge investment. In addition, Joe will tell you where to seek advise for items that require necessary follow up. For example, he pointed out a repair that was completed in the attic and advised that I get a letter from the builder stating that the repair was within code and signed off. I never would have noticed that, nor would have asked for the letter, thus saving me money down the road (in case the next buyer questioned the repair) Thanks Joe K. Cohen, client (August, 2011)
We hired Joe Funderburk for a home inspection
for a home we were going to purchase. The home had been remodeled on the
inside, and looked great for all intensive purposes. However, due to Joe's
thorough inspection, MANY issues were revealed in the crawl space that the
seller had either failed to repair, or chose not to repair. Thanks to Joe
Funderburk from Alpha and Omega Home Inspections, we were saved from buying
a home with WAY more problems that we had realized. We almost bought a home
that would have been a disaster to repair and we were able to walk away with
just the cost of the inspection. We will be using Joe when we find the next
home we decide to buy.
Joe saved us from buying a lemon home. He did a
fantastic job. He found all the little things the sellers had tried to
conceal.
S Michaels, client (May., 2011)
Mr. Funderburk did a complete inspection of our house and the detached garage and loft.
He arrived on time, was very professional in
discussing what he was going to do. We learned what to expect and how to use
his findings. He spent more than 3 hours inspecting every part of our house
-inside and out. From the roof to the basement, he took pictures and
recorded what he found. Before he left he briefly discussed some the more
crucial aspects of his inspection and told us he would have a large written
compilation of what he found which he would email to us. I really like how
thorough he was and how knowledgeable he was.
J. Cline, client (Feb., 2011)
The Home Inspection performed by Joe was very
comprehensive and thorough! Very objective, and numerous backup details
and pictures were provided! A+
S Michaels, client (July., 2011)
Joe called the night before to confirm the inspection. He spent lots of time on the inspection, it was so thorough and compete! We talked through and had a pre-inspection conversation, he didn't try to upsell, he treated me very professionally. His prepared me for what would be in report, including pointing out what really needed our attention and what would be good to know about as we live in the home. The final thing is that they are really thorough and good communicators. The report has a summary and a full report. It was emailed to me within 24 hours!! A terrific choice for your inspection. C Elberson, client (June., 2011)
Joe did a very thorough home inspection of a new construction that my husband and I are about to buy.
We have bought and sold homes 5 times now and
this home inspection with Joe was the most thorough, professional, detailed
inspection we have ever had. He took his time, never hurried, and was
meticulous throughout. We also scheduled the inspection at the last minute
and he was more than accommodating. The amount of $ spent on his services
more than paid for itself in all the repairs that he caught. We will
definitely use him for the re-inspection and in the future. Loved him and
you will, too!
Nancy V., Charlotte client (July, 2010)
The inspector/owner, Joe Funderburk, performed a very thorough and detailed physical inspection of the house under consideration, from the crawl space to the attic and roof, and all systems in between. He is very knowledgeable about construction methods and pointed out both major and minor issues with the house. Joe is very responsive and answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly, during and after the inspection. The written report was very well documented including pertinent photographs of the problem areas. Joe was very professional in all my dealings with him. This is actually the third time I have engaged his services, and I would not hesitate to use him again. Mr. Osterman., SC client (August, 2010)
We needed a complete home inspection on a townhome built in 1980. This is a home we are purchasing to "flip" so it was important we make sure there are no surprises before we close and so we can have an accurate estimate of repairs needed.
Mr. Funderburk was prompt and professional from
start to finish. He explained his process thoroughly when we met to do the
inspection, and he gave us good feedback on areas that would be key to
repair. He provided an incredibly detailed inspection report covering every
aspect of the home including over 100 pictures from areas including of
foundation and attics we had not even looked at. Report was sent to us
online in less than 24 hours. Top notch.
A. Miller, client
Joe performed TWO house inspections for
me... complete whole house inspections.
Hired Joe through friend's recommendation
and he inspected the first house for me which revealed a rewiring job
performed by the seller himself that proved to be a huge fire hazard
that the seller refused to do anything about. Needless to say i didn't
buy that one. He basically saved my behind on the first house...
the best 500 bucks i ever spent. Because he did such a thorough
and wonderful job on the first house, I hired him for the second house
and he again performed his job perfectly. I am super-satisfied with his
work and prompt completion of the reports. I would recommend him to
anyone seeking the most thorough house inspection you can buy. He is
very detail-oriented and leaves nothing untested. you will not be sorry!
thank you Joe!!
L. Burch, client
"Our children have been working with a company in the purchase of their first home and after visiting the property, my husband and I requested that a safety issue be corrected even though they assured us that it met "code". After contacting the local county inspector who discouraged us from getting an independent home inspection, we decided that (for the safety of our grandchild and our children's biggest investment) an independent home inspection was in deed needed on this new construction. We contacted Mr. Joe Funderburk of Alpha and Omega Home Inspections and just from his credentials and belief that "a wise man builds his house upon the rock" Matt. 7:24, we new that this was a wise expense on our part. We contacted Mr. Funderburk who explained the process and expectations in detail. He also coordinated everything with the builder in accessing the property. Mr. Funderburk completed the inspection and had a report in our possession within 48 hours of our initial contact. If you want a peace of mind and the work of a true professional, then don't hesitate to contact Alpha and Omega for all of your home inspection needs. Thanks to Mr. Funderburk, our children's "walk thru" will be more than a check on minor paint and scratches as they will have a "34 page" comprehensive and professional report to help them hold the builder accountable for constructing a house that will be safe and habitable for years to come. The process was very simple and easy. Nothing unpredictable as Mr. Funderburk was open and honest about his home inspections, timelines and cost. He is the ultimate professional and I would not hesitate to call on him for future home inspections. I promise you that a satisfied customer is better than a "billboard" and Mr. Funderburk can be assured that I will not hesitate to let others know of our experience and I have just begun to share this positive experience with individuals residing in both South and North Carolina." Debra Moses, client
"Joe Funderburk was contacted to inspect a
screened porch that was recently added to our home. He was extremely
professional and took a very long time to look over the entire screen porch.
He was certainly not rushed and he was helpful in pointing out numerous
problems, as I had excepted there would be. Within 48 hours Joe e-mailed me
a very thorough report as well as photos to show visually show the problem
areas. I was then able to forward the report from his website to the
original contractor. By hiring Joe I was able to with hold final payment to
the contractor until he agreed to complete all problems listed in Joe's
report. This has saved me from making final payment to a lousy contractor.
My overall experience was wonderful. It's nice
to see that some people still take pride in their work. I would recommend
Joe without any hesitation and I will certainly hire Joe again when we move
and need a full home inspection."
Julia Alessandrini, client
Joe Funderburk was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt and courteous. He was very descriptive in his explanations while inspecting. He was extremely thorough and found several major items missed during the seller's home inspection. Joe was extremely knowledgeable and provided several tips for homeownership which I appreciated. The inspection was completed at 5pm and we quickly had the report by 8:30am the following morning. However, the inspection report was not rushed but was extremely detailed and helpful. The information was clearly organized with repair recommendations and pictures. The amount charged was very reasonable for the service he provided. We would highly recommend Joe Funderburk with Alpha & Omega Home Inspections to anyone purchasing a home. Crystal Panico, client
I had a detailed home inspection performed on a 55 year old house in Spartanburg, SC. This included a detailed inspection of the exterior, interior and crawl spaces.
I am very happy with the service I
received. I was scheduled promptly and the job was done professionally
and I received a detailed report with photographs the very next day. I
believe that the job was very thorough and the information provided was
useful and valuable. The service provided was definitely worth the money
spent. I would not hesitate to recommend Alpha & Omega Home Inspections
again for a comprehensive home inspection job.
This is a really good professional and
valuable contractor.
Clanford Johnson, client
"I contacted Alpha & Omega for a home inspection as we approached our 12 month warranty end period. It was a last minute thing, and I was so glad that someone answered the phone at 7:30 pm and could fit us in a couple of days. Joe came out and spent about 3.5 hours inspecting the home inside and outside. He went though all of the important items with me when he was done and emailed the report (complete with photos of the areas that needed attention) later that same evening! That was great because I could just forward the summary report by email to the builder.
The inspection went very well. Joe picked up a
bunch of structural and safety issues that should not have been present in a
newly constructed home. One particular issue with the front entry roof
placement would have affected the sales price of the house so that alone was
well worth the cost. Electrical, fire and safety hazards were also prominent
in the inspection - these drew the immediate attention of the builder, who
arranged for them to be fixed before the other repairs. Emailing both the
full and summary reports that same evening was great - it helped speed up
the builders response time and we managed to arrange the final walk through
that same week. Great job!"
Vitali Panov, client
"[This was] a re-inspection of a property I have put an offer on. The house was pre-inspected and any issues were corrected; Mr. Funderburk put the house under a fine lens and came up with multiple issues that needed further correction from a safety stand point.
An excellent job overall! I was not able to be
at the inspection, but the report that I received from Mr. Funderburk is
thorough and complete. He found a few issues that had not been spotted
previously. I would use him again, without a doubt!"
Stephen Guice, client
"Joe inspected the 20 yr. old 2 story house we
are purchasing. Joe called prior to our appt. to let me know he was going to
be late by 11/2 hrs. He was very apologetic and offered to take off $40 from
my bill. I appreciated the courtesy call so then I was able to use my
waiting time productively. Joe got to the house right at the time he said he
was coming & started work right away. Joe was thorough & after he was done
in one area he calls me to point out concerns &/or explain how a particular
feature/ part of that house works. I was welcome to tag along but I only did
it part of the time & I chose to reserve my questions for when he was done
in an area so as not to distract him. It took him 4 hours to do the
inspections. He wasn't able to check the secondary attic because it was not
accessible at the time. He took a lot of pictures and dictated notes in his
tape recorder. His report was detailed in narrative form & was sent out via
email within 24 hrs.
Everything went well even with the change in
our appt. time. Joe was very professional and very polite & kind. After I
received his report I called him up for questions/clarifications, and Joe
was very accommodating. Several days later, the sellers of the house came
back with a good response to our requests for repairs. However, they had
some questions about the inspection report. I requested Joe to give a
written response as I know he would be able to explain better than I could.
He obliged promptly, but much to my surprise because he was still on
vacation at that time. That, to me, is going above and beyond the call of
duty!"
Marcela Adams, client
"Thank you for such a thorough inspection and report. I have just spoken with (my Realtor), and based on your excellent assessment of the condition of the home, I feel we are now able to get some major issues addressed.
