Good Eye Home Inspections celebrates 11 years in business
Good Eye Home Inspections is a trusted home inspection company known for being thorough, honest, and client-focused, in the Cincinnati, OH area. Here's an overview of what they offer, what they do, and how people feel about them based on public information
Common Molds in the home
The most common household molds are typically found in damp, humid, or water-damaged areas like bathrooms, basements, kitchens, and behind walls. Here are the top types you’re most likely to encounter:
Did not know there were 20 cats in the home
I love cats but.....
Wonder why some states are passing this law?
Because some people waiving inspections are getting screwed
Asbestos sewer stack and then some
Asbestos cement (AC) pipes were widely used in sewer systems due to their durability and affordability during the mid-20th century. However, health concerns about asbestos exposure led to a phasing out of AC pipes in plumbing and construction in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Home Inspectors, Good ones that is should charge $2000 per inspection
What your flipped home looked like before you purchased it
Your welcome to the inspection but stand back please
Pre-List inspection why do it & maybe not?
Why do home inspectors miss stuff?
My bad you are perfect at your job and never miss anything is what I would like to say to people. In 11 years & over 10,000 inspection knock on wood I can honestly say we have never had a complaint about missing something. Have we missed stuff? Yes absolutely we have but I have not heard about because we bust our behind & give the client enough information about the home for them to make an educated decision to buy it or not.
Most homes are in poor condition at least in our area after doing 12,000 plus inspections we believe that 85% of homes have at least 20 to 30 sometimes 50 major recommendations that need repair to make the home safe prior to moving in
Why is this?
Just as everyone struggles to make ends meet especially the last couple of years money is not left over in the budget to put into the home or pay a professional who's going to do it right 95% of the time. There are also way too many people thinking that they can do plumbing or electrical on their own by watching a YouTube video or having their buddy help them who doesn't really know a thing about plumbing or electrical. Then you have the famous homeowner who thinks that duct tape will fix everything. One other big reason we see a lot after being a business for so many years we will get the chance to inspect the same home we did 3, 4, or 5 years ago and nothing is fixed from the previous home inspection when it was supposed to be fixed, that is really frustrating in our eyes.
Some major words of advice here when you have a home inspection on the property and the seller agrees to repairs, you should demand that only a licensed electrician or licensed plumber take care of those two items and then a professional contractor who should have a license fix the other stuff. The Sellers should provide you proof paid of the receipts of the work completed get this in writing before closing. I do not have a magic answer for people who do not take care of their homes other than it is lack of money, lack of experience lack of education in owning a home and procrastination which causes homes to be in poor condition
