Allstate Home Inspections

I can’t believe all the items the inspector missed. The owner of the company (Walter) does not want to take responsibility. I should not have went with his company and its sad that the owner wont stand behind his work

Ask for Brad Cartwright! This was my first attempt to buy a home. Brad didn’t mind my trailing behind him for the entire 2.5 hour inspection, asking him questions along the way. His answers/​explanations were informative and gave me everything I needed to do more investigating and, ultimately, make my own decision about whether I wanted to buy the home. In addition to being thorough, his report was delivered in a timely fashion (which is important when time is of the essence). Hiring Brad to help you obtain the info you need to make an informed decision about your potential investment is money well-​spent. And he’s a nice guy, as well.

My wife and I received a very thorough and comprehensive inspection on our new Coral Springs home. I was impressed with the details of the inspection. Scheduling was convenient for all parties. Price for the inspection was very fair. I am a very satisfied customer.

Patrick was great. He gave a very thorough inspection of my home. Even my realtor from Leibowitz realty was very impressed with how efficient and polite he was.
After looking at the report, all pictures are documented and it’s very clear what needs to be fixed before I move in. After the inspection he went over any bigger items and we walked trough the house to point out and understand what shape the home is in. Things I would have not seen, even if I was looking right at it.
Dealing with the company office was easy. Lori scheduled the appointment, and had payment done in a matter of minutes. I do not know about you but I work full time and being a first time home buyer they made me feel a lot more comfortable with my purchase, while I am trying to get things done in a very reasonable time.

Oh boy oh boy. I’m so glad that the only other review was negative as well. I thought I was the only one to be stricken with such a horrid experience.
Allstate Home Inspections performed our prepurchase inspection on our home in May 2014 and the report was great to say the least. We even paid for the 4-​point inspection which we were told we didn’t need since the house was so new. Yet we wanted to.
We moved in June 7, 2014. Since then, we’ve got buckets keeping the rain from coming in through the roof, I’ve had a toilet flood a bathroom into the garage, an outlet smoke once something was plugged in, and found no air filters in the air handlers.
The management there has ZERO work ethic or customer service skills. We were basically told that we could have the inspector come out and inspect again. Why? I’ve already found a plethora of things that are wrong. So why come out?
Emails back and forth have yielded nothing except, «not our problem… you just got the 4-​point inspection not the full inspection». For anyone who likes to add trivia to their arsenal of knowledge, a 4-​point inspection covers the following: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and roof. Guess what… I have issues with all 4 points!
If you enjoy being held responsible for someone else’s errors, please, by all means go here! Otherwise, stay away and have a kindergartner perform your inspection.

We hired Allstate Home Inspections to inspect a home we were purchasing. After closing we discovered a side garage door that was completely rotten off of the hinges. After agreeing he made a mistake in failing to properly inspect the door; once learning what a new door would cost, has since come up with 3 vastly different stories as to why he failed to inspect the door. None of his excuses are valid reasons for his complete failure to inspect the door.
The sole purpose of an inspection prior to purchasing a new home is to uncover obvious defects in the home. Allstate Home Inspections not only missed the rotten door but numerous other defects. After agreeing to be responsible for his failure to inspect the door, the owner changed his mind and claimed he could produce affidavits from the Realtors involved that he was denied a key to the door. I have offered him plenty of time to submit his proof, but he has been unable to produce any proof to back up his «stories».
DO NOT hire this firm if you want a decent inspection since the owner obviously will not stand behind his inspections.
