Inspections by Bob

The inspector was thorough and clearly explained their inspection process. The inspector pointed out and explained all found issues, and the provided report clearly labeled these issues along with important home details.

Would give Bob ZERO stars if I could. HORRIBLE!! We were buying a home and used Bob based on reviews (must have been paid reviews or friends??). He nearly cost us the settlement because we were unsure of that to think. He was incorrect on several important factors that I was able to verify with little research and/or asking the seller for documents. The seller easily provided legitimate records that directly contradicted what Bob said. It was as if he was determined to find issues that simply didn't exist -as if this would earn him a positive vantage point in our eyes? He never bothered to look up if the deck was permitted but claimed it was not a legally permitted deck with the county. He was simply lazy and never looked it up. We were able to obtain the permit and verify the deck was to legal standards. He also missed a large leak in the basement that we found a week after we moved in. Another was a faulty circuit he missed when examining the fuse box. We unfortunately discovered this a few days after closing. The list is so long. I really am disappointed we paid so much for his service based on reviews only to discover he is more on a "mission" than an honest inspection. We should have known reading is bio about why he became an inspector. Payback. Inspectors should be professional enough to check for permits and not make false claims that there is an issue, when with little research, we were able to determine there was NOT a concern after all. We almost walked away from our dream house due to his unprofessional and misguided report. Shame on Bob!

I've used Inspections by Bob several times now and they are excellent. Welmoed and Bob are the most knowledgable inspectors that I have encountered and have both identified numerous issues that I know other inspectors would have missed. They are also both very personable and were more than willing to answer tons of questions that I had. I wouldn't use anyone else.

I got an inspection from Mrs. Bob and the amount of knowledge she shared with me was invaluable! I highly recommend them for an unbiased and thorough inspection of a house you are looking to purchase!

Had the pleasure of having Welmoed ("Mrs. Bob") perform the pre-drywall inspection for our new townhouse. Welmoed was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and made me feel so comfortable asking as many questions as I had (and I had many!). She was also willing to drive to a nearby coffee store to have our debriefing in a warm place rather than our freezing cold home!! Inspections by Bob always returned my calls promptly and we will definitely be using them again for our next inspection! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Bob was efficient and detail-oriented with my inspection on a brand new home. I wasn't sure what to expect, but he sat down with me after the inspection and presented the most important concerns as well as an overview of the entire inspection. His services were personable, professional, and worth every penny! I would recommend him to anyone who wants to understand their potential new home.

My wife and I were considering buying an older home. We knew it had lots of issues, but we were willing to take a risk. We hired Bob Sisson to inspect the home for us before we finalized the deal.

Bob arrived early before the inspection and had already walked the exterior of the property. He then spent the next several hours walking us through each level and room of the home. He took his time and explained to us each step he was taking.

We decided to walk away from the property after the inspection. Bob showed us so much and exposed many issues which were greater than we could have ever anticipated. We are grateful to Inspections by Bob for saving us what we assume would have been $1000's of dollars and years of frustrations in what would have been a money pit.

If you want to be sure of what yo are buying in a new to you home, hire Inspections by Bob!

Bob was very professional and very thorough. He provided honest opinions and he had a lot of subject matter knowledge.

Bob was punctual, professional and thorough. A techie at heart, he took the time to explain things at the beginning, as he went though the process as well as at the end. An excellent communicator with great attention to detail. He take a ton of pictures and at the end you end up with a binder and book with the basics of repair and maintenance as well as a detailed PDF of all the issues listed by severity. He gives you the confidence every home owner looks for to know that the property they are purchasing has no serious defects. I wholeheartedly recommend Inspections by Bob. Book in advance as he apparently does only one inspection a day.

Bob did a great job with the inspection. He has a great eye for a house and very knowledgeable on all parts of a house. Bob did a great job communicating with us during the inspection and let us know of any major concerns. This was an great experience for us because Bob is a great professional.
