Business ProfileforNier Building Inspections, Inc.

If I could give negative stars, I would. If your goal is to purchase a home where every day is a new adventure in finding out what you weren't informed of, then this would be a great inspection company, but if you were hoping to not spend thousands of dollars post-closing on things that should have been caught at inspection, as I was, I'd encourage you to go elsewhere.Before I start, let me acknowledge that sometimes, things are missed. When I found the first issue, the fact that the washer didn't work, I had sympathy for the inspector. Stuff happens. When I discovered there was no cold running water in the kitchen, I had less sympathy. The final straw for me was the discovery that I had a massive, long-standing, leak under my bathroom sink. There is obvious water damage under the sink that I saw, and the leaking began almost immediately upon me running the sink, so this is something that 100% should have been caught at inspection. I also discovered that the diverter valve (a part I had to look up, it is what changes the shower from the showerhead to the tub faucet) is mostly worn out and thus has every shower running half faucet/half showerhead and the faucet in the bathtub isn't connected to the wall, so the first time I grabbed it to scrub, it came away from the wall (luckily still connected to the plumbing). Still, mistakes are made, and I tend to assume good faith on the part of others. This was surely an error, and I was certain that when I contacted them, I would find the problem solved immediately. Wrong again. First, I emailed my realtor, who was zero help (unsurprising, given that he recommended the inspector), then I emailed the inspector. And waited. And waited. And here I am, days later with no response.Which is where I find myself. I have to have a plumber come out to fix things, which I'll be paying for out of pocket because I can't get the inspector to respond to me. And buyer beware, even if I could somehow get a response, and they did agree to pay me per the contract, all that means is that they're refunding my $475. That's not nearly enough to cover the costs of what I have to fix. I'd strongly encourage everyone to go elsewhere and to warn their friends because this inspection was worst than useless, and it will ultimately cost me several thousand dollars in addition to the fee that I paid them.
