Wellington H R Construction

We didn’t, it turned out, have the pest problem we thought we had. Jim inspected our basement, gave his expert opinion and didn’t charge us a dime.

As a first time homebuyer of an older home we really relied heavily on the home inspection to make our decision of whether or not to buy our house. Unfortunately, this inspector missed many very serious issues that all have popped up within the first 6 months of owning our home. One expensive example of his negligence was: He didn’t check the whole house for dry rot — our landscaper found that the whole side of our house was rotten. Same with the front of the house. We’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars to try and fix problems that, had we known prior to purchase, we would not have gone through with buying.
All the contractors (and we’ve had many) have expressed disbelief that these issues were not identified by the inspector. I’ll make sure to use someone else for our next home purchase and steer whoever I can away from Wellington HR.

This company employs spammer marketing techniques via the phone. Received numerous calls from 510−164−7558 and answered once, which resulted in an immediate hangup by them. Goggled this number and it comes back as H & R Construction.

Jim Hicks came to my house, did the inspection (which included quotes for pest work), and took my $ 1100. There was a clear understanding that we would have a follow up phone call. That was March 10. I decided to wait until the 2 month mark to post this so that’s what I’ve done. He put me through the humiliation of making me call over and over and over throughout that period and he never returned my call. Do not recommend.

Unresponsive, disorganized, unhelpful. I contacted them to ask a couple of questions about a report they recently did on a home I was considering making an offer on. The person I spoke with on the phone said I should send an email with my questions, and the inspector would get back to me. So I immediately sent a detailed email, but didn’t hear anything back. I called back a few days later and was told the inspector had just gone on vacation.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We were on an extremely tight schedule for our loan close and needed not only our termite inspection done quickly, but also repairs to 3 story wooden stairs and reinspection within a week. Wellington came through brilliantly! Monica was very helpful and on top of our need for quick turn around. The contractor and workers themselves were very polite, did excellent work, and work site was immaculate and every item completed to a ‘T’. I will definitely refer these folks to my friends!
