A three-hour inspection of an 1880 Victorian is how one customer described Galeota Associates Inc in a February 2016 Google review. The Townsend business's inspector, Greg, arrived early in a snowstorm, examined the exterior despite snow cover, and walked the buyers through the foundation and his findings. The reviewer said he checked exposed wood and beams, inspected the wiring of a new electrical system, and explained how the steam heater worked. That customer said the inspection never felt rushed: Greg answered their questions, discussed maintenance options, and delivered a detailed report the next day. In an August 2020 review, another customer thanked Chris and the team for help with a house closing and with plans to invest in and improve the home. These are older customer experiences, from 2016 and 2020. Google lists a 4.2-star average from five ratings. There was also a complaint about telephone service. In August 2016, a Google reviewer named Dolores and said they had been treated rudely and dismissed during the call.
One of the best.... just great to have them with so much experience and wisdom. It was helpful in our new house closing but even more so for owning our home and plan to invest and improve it. Thanks Chris and team.
Don't get Dolores on the phone with you because she is anything but a people person. Never have I been treated so rudely and easily dismissed by someone in the customer service business.
Greg is simply the BEST. We were given his name by my sister who had used him for her very standard condo inspection. He did a great job and my father (who actually built my childhood home) was very impressed with his knowledge and thoroughness. We are buying an 1880 Victorian and wanted to be sure we are making a sound investment with our first home. Greg showed up early in a snow storm to start the inspection. He patiently explained everything to me and my husband and offered to take us around the foundation and talk about all that he found. He spent a lot of time in the cold, snow, and wind making sure the outside was properly inspected (pretty difficult given the snow covered roof but he unburied foundations, window sills and sat with binoculars to see everything). He discussed all his findings with us right away, as well as our options for maintenance and how to keep everything in tiptop shape. Inside he meticulously checked every beam, exposed piece of wood, checked to make sure the wiring was properly installed on a new electrical system, explained how our steam heater worked (neither of us have every had gas) talked about our options for our older home and continued to keep us informed. He went through the entire home and informed us about everything. He honestly knows it all and isn't that what you want when you are inspecting a home for purchase? We would highly recommend Greg to anyone who wants a knowledgeable, thorough inspector. He spent 3 hours for our home inspection making sure we were well informed. We never felt rushed and he answered every question we had, and we had ALOT of questions. He really is the best. He also gives you the most amazing detailed report the next day with a breakdown of everything he talks about.
