Thank youPosted on Jennifer HegartyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Elite Home Inspections for a comprehensive analysis of my home’s environment and indoor air quality. The inspection focused on the entire house with specialized testing for mold, particle analysis, VOCs and formaldehyde. I was very pleased with the experience overall. I really appreciated how quick the entire process was. I called with an inquiry on a Tuesday and had an appointment to take samples the following Monday. The results came back on Wednesday and Saturday. So less than 10 days from the first call to all of my test results in my hands. In addition to providing me with the detailed lab reports, Paul Parella called me to explain my results and was available for any additional questions. He also summarized each report in layperson language which helped immensely. It set the tone for reviewing the reports and helped me to focus on the most relevant aspects. I also learned a lot during the inspection and sampling. Evan came out to assess my house and let me walk around with him and ask questions while he pointed out potential issues. He spent over two hours on the inspection and testing and was happy to answer any and all questions. He also gave me good recommendations when I asked for them. The main reason I wanted to go with a company like Elite is that they are an independent inspector and not a company that also does mold remediation. I wanted an impartial opinion and I really feel that is exactly what I got. I learned a lot, I got some great recommendations and I have scientific reports to back everything up. I also liked their pricing structure. Each sample is a la carte so you can pick and choose the specific items you want to measure based on your particular home and any suspected issues. Since I was unsure of what I needed, I opted for a comprehensive set of tests that covered the full spectrum. I could have easily just focused on mold or just on VOC. It was nice to have that kind of flexibility. Paul also went over every test and its cost with me so I had all of that information up front before I even made the appointment. I really liked this as it let me be in control of where to place my focus. It also gave me a ballpark of where the final cost would end up. If you suspect you are having any environmental issues, I highly recommend having your home inspected. Even if you learn that you don’t have any major problem areas, that is wonderful for your piece of mind. I would work with Elite again. They were quick, efficient, thorough, patient and very nice. Overall a terrific experience!Posted on Rachel WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and Evan were fantastic to work with.
