DO NOT USE HomePlace Inspections / Don ***!!
His egregious error on my home inspection will cost me $20-30,I have a major water intrusion issueI was naïve and put my trust in Don *** thinking he would perform his job and act as a professionalHe did neither in so many ways and has many reasons why his lack of finding and reporting the problem is everyone else’s faultThe short phone call I had with him to explain the problem ended with him hanging up on me and not returning any of my or my realtor’s callsI contacted the MN Attorney General and *** lied in his response to themHe said in his statement that “there were no signs of water damage” and that I was “Demanding money” (this is what I could get out of it as there were very few full sentences in the page long letter)I’ve had four licensed general contractors and a City Inspector say the problem has been happening for several years and the visual indication of it (that *** missed) was not new since *** performed his inspectionHe blatantly missed it and will not take responsibility for itI did not “Demand money” from himI called and was expecting a discussion of opening a claim with his insuranceThe City Inspector and two other inspectors indicated that an insurance claim should be an easy step to remedy the problem I highly doubt HomePlace Inspections carries insurance!! His inspection report consisted of several times copied pages with “hen scratched” remarks and check boxes and no photos of the few obvious issues he did report As he did not want me or my Realtor present at the inspection, I feel he doesn’t want it known how lacking his work isWhen I did meet with him, he spent more time touting himself than he spent on talking about the homeThere was no walk through other than indicating where the electrical panel was and into the utility room to explain the furnace, water valves, etcHis incompetence, unprofessionalism and unethical business behavior should make all RUN AWAY FAST from HomePlace Inspections and Don ***!! (The very least, ask for insurance information!)
