Two customers describe problems with Melandro Inspections & FHA 203k Consultants’ inspection findings. One condo customer writing in July 2026 disputes several conclusions in a pre-sale report, including a supposedly missing forced-air filter. The customer says a new filter was in a slide-out compartment above the photographed area. They also dispute the interpretation of a taped exhaust-fan outlet, saying the vent had been winterized, and object to comments about cleaning the range and replacing a loud, older disposal. The reviewer also criticizes the inspector’s manner. In a February 2025 review, a Wethersfield homebuyer says Tony Melandro arrived on time with an assistant but had an injury that affected his ability to bend, which the customer says had not been disclosed when hiring him. The buyer credits the assistant with entering the attic and looking under the crawlspace. Although the inspection identified some visible issues, the customer says the report lacked detail on problems they discovered after closing and would not recommend the business.

I had a home inspection done on my condo before listing it for sale. The report includes several findings that feel unnecessary, inaccurate, or not representative of the actual condition. The photographs, in particular, raise concerns because some images appear to contradict the written conclusions. For example, the report says the forced-air filter is missing, even though I installed a brand-new filter just three days before the inspection. The picture includes arrows pointing to an area where a filter is not visible, but the filter is actually located in a slide-out compartment directly above that spot. The report also claims the exhaust fan outlet needs to be continuously pressed down to operate, but the photo clearly shows that outlet has scotch tape over it—because the vent had been winterized (filled with insulation) to prevent unwanted airflow during the season. There are also comments that don’t seem appropriate for a serious, useful inspection, like suggesting the electric range needs cleaning and stating the disposal is loud and “aged” and should be replaced, instead of focusing on verifiable defects or safety issues. If you’re relying on an inspection report to make decisions during a sale, get someone who provides accurate, thorough, and relevant findings. zero stars if i could. he's so rude and crass !!
We hired Tony Melandro to inspect our new home in Wethersfield, CT. He arrived on time with another gentleman who assisted throughout the process. During the home inspection, he took many pictures but seemed unable to bend over to do much more than that. He said he had suffered an injury but failed to disclose that after hiring him. He did get on the roof and look at the chimney in detail, the crawl space under the house, or any other areas that tend to have issues for older homes. Luckily, the other gentleman could do extra work, like entering the attic and looking under the crawlspace. While they discovered some visible issues, the inspection lacked details on the problems we found after closing. A much more detailed inspection with an inspector who can perform his duties would have made us feel much better (and saved us money). I would not recommend Tony and Melandro Inspections if you're looking for a home inspector.
