Tim went above and beyond to make sure I was confident in knowing what was going on with my house! I can’t say enough about his critical eye and the time he took to explain the issues I had questions about so I had the knowledge to negotiate and to know what I needed to do after purchasing my house.

Mr. Tim inspected a new construction home I'm in the process of purchasing. He was very thorough in his inspection and caught small things that would easily be overlooked by someone who isn't a professional. He tested EVERYTHING and provided me with an on site breakdown of the many things to ensure were address before closing. He also gave me solid advice about things that I could do to ensure the home stays in good shape for years to come. Very efficent and detailed inspector.

I have never submitted a negative google review but I am compelled to warn others. Family First was recommended by our realtor. We were out of state so we accepted her recommendation without hesitation. Tim spent significant time with us over the phone after the home inspection to review his assessment. He gave us the appearance and reassurance that he had been as thorough as possible. Unfortunately, he missed a major code violation in the kitchen that should have been easily detected. It has resulted in over $5000 of expenses that should have been covered by the previous owner who had allowed for an obvious violation. Every gas & electric service person including a plumber and appliance vendor were shocked and horrified to see the ventilation issue and in disbelief that any certified inspector did not red flag the issue immediately. One vendor even went so far as to suggest I could sue the inspector for such negligence, at minimum have his certification questioned. I regret that we used him and don’t relish in leaving a bad review for a small business owner , but it is only to alert others.

Response from the owner · a year ago

I am sorry you had a bad experience. I would like to see what issue I missed as code verification is not part of the North Carolina home inspection. Know the issue could help me ensure it does not happen again. I see the inspection was done in 2021. If you could reach out to me to discuss I would appreciate it. I would also contact the county also as they would be the one to verify code requirements and when they did their inspections for the system you are speaking of also.

This is the second time we have selected Family First for a new home inspection. Tim’s thorough approach gave me peace of mind and helped me make an informed investment decision. Despite being fully booked for several weeks, Tim worked overtime to complete the inspection on a Saturday and provided a timely and professional report. I highly recommend Family First!

Response from the owner · a year ago

It was a pleasure working with you again. I was so happy to be able to fit the inspection into the schedule during such a busy time of the year.
