Home Inspections by Charles is a home inspection business. On its Angi profile, it describes an inspection before buying or selling as a way "to assure a professional comprehensive and descriptive opinion of the status of the major building systems in the home." A 2018 Angi review describes hiring Charles to inspect a new house the writer was purchasing: he walked them through the entire house step by step, showed what needed to be fixed urgently, gave tips on how to do some of it themselves to save money, and sent the report the same day. In a 2019 Google review, first-time homebuyers said Charlie was very thorough, made sure they understood the issues he saw, and delivered a report the same day. A 2019 Angi review said Charlie inspected every bit of a very complex home. In a 2018 Angi review, Charles explained every detail of the problems he found and suggested things that could be a problem later on or may need to be replaced in the future. A 2020 Google review credited his inspection with keeping the writer from investing in a property with serious problems. A 2019 Angi review said Charles was fast to respond, available on the requested day and very reasonably priced. In a 2019 Angi review, the inspection lasted a long time and missed a few key pieces of information that ended up being important; that customer hired another professional for a second opinion and said the report did not include any photographs. A 2018 Angi review said the inspection took about 3 hours for a small, well maintained, single family home, and that he went over his findings before he left but would lose track of what had already been covered.
Very professional and thorough
Extremely detailed inspection report by a very knowledgeable professional inspector at a fair price. Highly recomend this inspector and I will recomend him to my friends and family.
Thanks to his excellent inspection, I didn't invested in a property with serious problems...
The inspection, while it lasted a long time, included many useful details but missed a few key pieces of information that ended up being important and ultimately convincing me not to proceed with the acquisition. Fortunately I hired another professional to give me a second opinion. The inspection report did not include any photographs which in this day and age is really helpful, particularly when trying to get estimates for what things will cost from contractors--since inspectors by law are not allowed to quote prices.
Charles was fast to respond, was available on requested day and he was very reasonably priced.
