We just wanted to thank Mr. Baca for the thorough, detailed inspection that he did on the
West Ellis Street home in Laveen yesterday. Thank you!
I wasn't sure if he intended to send the report to both our agent, Jim Davis, and
us, but we will be looking forward to seeing it via email at this address. We did inform
the builder's representatives of the most important items that Mr. Baca uncovered and
they also want to see it, so I will forward it to them when it is available.
Thank you, again. If we have an opportunity to give you a referral, we certainly
will.
I had Ralph inspect my new home. I was very impressed with his knowledge. He provided me with photos and a list of what needed to be fixed prior to moving in. We were able to resolve issues which avoided future costs and/or problems. I'm looking forward to using him for my one year warranty inspection and would highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a new home.
Hi Ralph,
Well, it was a long, long looooooong process but I would have to say we
are very satisfied with the results. Today we received a check in the mail from the
Registrar of Contractors in the amount of $10,015.53. This is about $600 less than we
originally paid but we have kept some of the 'surface select' boulders to incorporate
into our new landscape. Don't really know what the going price of rock but our landscape
designer had spots to place them in our 'New' yard. This gets us a little closer to a
full refund.
Again I would like to thank you for your part in the recovery process. I think
it was very beneficial to submit your report which substantiated all of my complaints
against this so called landscape company. They are currently not able to do landscape
work and have 10 complaints which resulted in discipline being imposed and I notice
another new complaint popped up last week.
Ralph,
I wanted to thank you for helping out my brother; he sent me a copy of the
report. Based primarily on your report and somewhat on other factors he decided to
rescind his offer. My Dad and I were relieved that he didn't buy the house because of
all the problems you identified. Anyhow, thank you very much for your help, "you're the
man!"
Ralph,
The meeting with the builder went very well. They came in and I presented
your report and explained that you were not just a run of the mill home inspector and
were a Registered Professional Engineer. They looked the report over then went around to
see the cracks and pronounced that it didn't appear to be settling but looked like we
had a workmanship issue. They set an appointment to come and do the repairs. I told them
that I didn't consider spackling and paint an adequate fix. They agreed and said they
were going to retape it and do it properly. Guess we'll see how it goes. I wish you
could come and watch them but that might get a bit expensive.
Thanks
Mr. Baca,
Thank you for the referral. The owner of the house is working on
getting it replaced for free. I appreciate your time in giving us the referral. My
husband and I were so impressed with your work. We will definitely refer others to you.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Baca,
We would like to thank you for the excellent property
inspection report you sent us on September 21, 2003. We are very grateful that you were
able to fit us into your busy schedule at such short notice. At this time, we would like
to know if you recommend contractors in the Foothills area to your clients. We are in
need of a Pool Maintenance Contractor, a Landscape Sprinkler Repair Contractor and an
Interior House Painter.
Being new to the area, we would value your opinions
tremendously.
Ralph,
Thanks again.
The walk through went great! Because of your good
work!
Hi Ralph!
Thanks for the prompt delivery of the thorough review and report--it is
very helpful that the pictures and drawings detail the location of the itemized issues.
Regarding #21 (door not plumb, I wasn't quite sure which door was exactly being
referenced from the simplified drawing (on page 5). Attached is a gif of the bottom
floor that might help make explicit reference for clarity.
Also attached for your
reference is a gif of the 2nd floor as well (a little zoomed in so it doesn't show the
garage). This might help in pointing out exact locations of the items or in giving
references to the rooms by name as shown on the drawings.
Thanks again for the great work!
Hi Ralph,
Thanks much for your good work.
Ralph:
Thank you for the excellent and detailed property report. I have never
seen anything this comprehensive or well presented.
