    Exploring legal options! Don’t be fooled by “fool proof” contracts. Companies can have protection clauses for mistakes. But civil court provides for an opportunity to prove and be compensated for a complete lack of ability to perform the services for which a company represents they perform. And clearly, this company will have a difficult time defending themselves. We bought a house in early 2022, and our realtor recommended Preis. Now, 3 years later we are selling the home. We had an extremely misplaced sense of confidence when a prospective buyer had an inspection. Now we are left holding the bag for minor and major issues which should have been caught during our 2022 inspection. It seems even an amateur inspector should have caught these issues. These are items we can prove they missed, SHOULD HAVE caught (ie: photographs with THEIR notation that no issues were observed…which now we know were clearly issues). : 1. Smoke detectors that had a 2015 expiration date 2. Double tapped neutrals in the panel 3. A porch exceeding 30” from grade and requires a handrail 4. A deck door exiting onto a stair case which requires a 36” landing….and several more. But these are good examples we can PROVE existed merely 3 years ago. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They lack the BASIC experience to inspect properties.

    I was recommended this company by my realtor when purchasing my first house 5 years ago. The house was a flip but the inspector found almost no issues and expressed great satisfaction for how the renovation was done. The floors in the back started sinking and 3 years in I had to redo the foundation. Recently I have realized the beams in my roof are structurally unsound as well. The contractor who has done most of the major work on my house and is a very good and honest professional was so appalled by what wasn’t caught on inspection that he suggested I sued. Unfortunately the inspection contract was airtight and there was nothing I could do. As a first time home buyer it was a lesson learned but I have spent tons of money and time dealing with problems that to an inspector should have been obvious. And I will continue to warn others about using this company.

    The appointment scheduling was really simple. They were super thorough and informative for the inspection. Alex is so kind and we couldn't have asked for a better home inspector!

    PREIS performed the home inspection on a property for sale. They were quick, efficient, and extremely professional in their inspection, coordinating the pest/termite inspection as well, and completed a very thorough inspection in short order. The report was extremely user friendly, had excellent amount of information, pictures, recommendations for safety items, needed repair/replacement, and all around excellent results.

    I am a local insurance broker at Atlas Insurance and my clients are my #1 priority. I refer all my clients to PREIS, they are second to none. Very professional, they are on time and they shoot straight.
