M’liss Evans, 1307 Woodland Court, ALLEN TX 75002

Home Build Year: 1981

Description Of Work: Complete home inspection for mortgage process. Mr. Taylor checked everything from roof top to foundation.

Comments: I was put at ease during the process. Mr. Taylor was very pleasant, patient and professional Being a first time homebuyer I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mr. Taylor took time to explain everything, every step of the way. He never made me feel like any question I asked was a stupid one or a waste of his time. He pointed out a number of things that I should address as well as giving me an idea of what the order of importance should be. There were so many things he showed me that I would have never thought to look at. He was very thorough and knowlegible. After his inspection I felt much more confident in my choice of homes and knew what the condition of the major items were. His final report was excellent, a great deal of detail as well as pictures. My mortgage broker even commented on how thorough the report was. He also spoke with my A/C person and pointed out a few areas in need of repair. In addition, he provided me with resource materials on foundation watering, insect infestation information and other homeowner items that may come up. I have recommended him to others in our company being transferred and would definitely use him for future purchases. A very pleasant experience all around and definitely money well spent.

What words of advice would you give other members considering this contractor? Definitely hire him to do your inspection. He was very thorough and pointed out everything, down to the smallest item that would need to be taken care of at some point or should be watched.

What words of advice would you give this contractor? Great job, continue on the same way. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Description Of Work:

Robert was amazing, so very detailed and thorough. I would use and recommend him to everyone trying to buy a home!

Client Comments:

His very detailed and helpful inspection helped me in deciding whether or not to purchase a home.

Company Response:

This home was interesting in that at first glance a handy seller did a tasteful refurbishing of the home however as I delved in to the details there was a surprisingly long punch list of things to do.

A short list of main concerns included:

a) high carbon monoxide readings at the furnace

b) several issues related to the furnace closet space, air make up and return air issues

c) no air flow to a supply vent at the room furthest from the HVAC system

d) ungrounded electrical panel and aluminum wiring issues

e) a wall had been removed between the family and dining rooms and a long sagging support beam – there was no attic access to approve or condemn the installation

f) a foundation previously repaired but signs of additional movement now required further review . . .

So when the Client is ready, I hope to be there to help her with a home purchase that will minimize her out of pocket expenses.

Anne Bermudez, 2700 Thorndale Circle, PLANO TX 75074

Home Build Year: 1993

Description Of Work: Performed inspection of home for which we were under contract. Inspected electrical systems, appliances, heating and cooling systems, pool and pool equipment, security system, roof and fascia boards, plumbing, and termite inspection. Submitted an extremely detailed and thorough report before the next morning.

Comments: Robert Taylor is the owner of AAdvanced Inspections and is the one who performed the inspection. He was extremely professional and thorough and documented enough issues to make up a 23-page report. Because the home we were wanting to purchase was a larger, older custom home the inspection took much longer than he had anticipated. He spent nearly 7 hours on the inspection and review with me and was always pleasant, thorough and highly professional. Even though the time taken was much longer than he had anticipated, he charged me the same price as the original bid and honored the Angie’s list coupon. He found many significant issues which ultimately caused us to terminate the contract due to the amount of money required to address those issues. He emailed the report to us at 1:00 a.m. the next morning so that we could have it in a timely manner. In his report he highlighted in red those issues that were of a safety concern, and bolded those issues that he thought would be of importance to us as the buyer. Overall, Robert went above and beyond on this job and did it with a friendly and professional manner. I would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection.

What did you like most about this contractor? His thoroughness and professionalism

What words of advice would you give other members considering this contractor? Absolutely hire him.

Description Of Work: I cannot thank Robert enough for his excellent service. He did an outstanding job inspecting the house and returned for re-inspection after repairs were done. Each time, he paid attention to details and helped uncover quite a number of issues. His in-depth explanation and sound reasoning are most re-assuring. The incident I am going to describe would show how Robert is willing to go above and beyond in helping his client even after the job is done. I called Robert the day before the closing in a panic because I just read stories about the serious foundation problems in the neighbor. He first gave me his very sharp and accurate observation of the foundation conditions for the house. He then gave me advices on how to find out from the city any report of foundation problems with the house. He also helped me find the foundation inspectors who could do inspection in the morning so I could go to closing in the afternoon. All this happened while he was shopping in a grocery store in the evening! Robert also followed up with emails the next day. He is the most caring professional that I know of.

Comments: Knowledgeable, courteous and professional, Robert is simply the best home inspector you can find. My friends recommended him to me, and I can recommend him to anyone without any reservation.

Description Of Work: Pre-sheet rock inspection for a 3900 sq foot home under construction in Plano

Member Comments: Very good experience. I think the inspector was very detailed and very professional. Price-wise he was very reasonable – I took quotes from several inspectors before engaging this company. They also gave me an Angie’s list discount.

I am so overwhelmingly pleased with your inspection and especially the way you labeled the items on the report.  Unbelievable!!  I thought inspectors like you were only in a dream.  I intend to put your name on my list of referred inspectors (at the top of actually) and would like your cell number….. can you please pass that along to me?

I love the way you indicated code items, highlighted crucial items, explained other items…. Just awesome!!

Robert Taylor recently inspected a home we are purchasing and I just wanted to let you know that I found him to the one of the most thorough and courteous professionals I have ever dealt with. I hope you pass this on to him.

I just wanted to let you know that I used one of the home inspection companies from the list that you gave me. Robert Taylor from Aadvanced Inspection was phenomenal!! Robert, having been a builder for many years, certainly has invaluable experience with the innermost working of home construction and that was obvious to me as he went through the property…inch by inch. He explained things to me clearly, and answered my many questions with incredible patience. The final report was superb, not leaving out one detail. The homeowners remarked that they had NEVER seen such a thorough inspection, and they should know since they have moved twelve times in their life. They also remarked about how neat he was…having other clothes available for those “messy” areas he inspected, as well as towels to wipe his feet! Rue, this guy is terrific! You should delete the other companies on that list you gave me because Robert Taylor is the best!

Fondly,

Mary

Robert,

It has been a pleasure – For a novice like me you have given me very useful & thorough information. THANKS A LOT.

We are very pleased with the work and would like to be a reference for any future client if at all you need one. If you need anything for your website please let me know and I will do the needful.

I want to once again thank you for all of your help through our first home buying experience. I will definitely recommend with all confidence you and your company. Your knowledge, patience, and integrity brought us through one home that you found to be beyond disrepair despite its great cosmetics. Then you selflessly helped on our closing the house we finally found! You were the one person through the home buying process my wife and I never doubted.

Sincere Thanks and Blessings,
Hal and Ashley
