Affordable Home Inspections

Very tough to communicate and will end up spending more on house inspection We used Affordable Home Inspection (AI) to inspect the new house we purchased. The initial inspection report is good and was easy to schedule over email. The problem started when we wanted to schedule second inspection to verify whether the builder fixed all the issues mentioned in the first inspection report. 1) I had to send multiple emails just to find the cost of the second inspection. I used to get response for clarifications I asked about my concerns in the Inspection report but not to my question above. 2) And then had to send numerous emails and phone calls just to find his availability. (Not even scheduling) AI will make it loud and clear that mode of communication they prefer is only email. So be aware of that. I understand not every inspection request can be accommodated as there could be other inspections scheduled already. They could have just conveyed that instead of being so irresponsive. From the emails I received from them, I am in the opinion that AI will do second inspections only if it is convenient to them as they are cheaper and may be not worth their time which is fair. Its just that if they are upfront about it we could have taken more informed decision on whom to choose for our inspection. The reason I said, someone could end up spending more is because if they are irresponsive about the Second inspection you will be forced to find someone else to do it who may charge more as they are not the persons who uncovered those issues.
