GNB Son Inspection Services

Horrible inspector. He brags about being a structural engineer but is not a licensed engineer. I could not even find a business license. He said the deck was weathered but it is actually structural unsound. The deck step broke the first time we went down the steps. The deck railing did not have end posts and would not support anyone’s weight. The deck support structure was failing - see photos - the only beam supporting all the joists was separating from the post. In addition, the front door dead bolt did not latch and the guest bathtub faucet leaks. I have no idea how this guy is still in business. If your agent recommended this inspector, find a new agent.

UPDATE: After seeing my negative reviews on Google, BBB and Angi's List he called and threatened me with attorneys. At least take a look at his reviews from the home buyers, not the agents, so you know what to expect if you decide the hire him. According to the reviews, I'm unfortunately not the first victim or the first he has threatened to sue over negative feedback.

This company was recommended by my realtor to do the inspection on the house I was purchasing. I closed on my house on 8/12/16. In the first 2 days in my house I found the following: dishwasher leaks, kitchen sink was not mounted properly and rocked from side to side, pipes under sink leak each time the trash disposal runs. Now today, 9/2/16 I have a drip in the ceiling of the master bedroom. I emailed the company after the first issues were discovered, they apologized but said these issues did not exist during their inspection and I was present. While I was present, I am certainly no expert, isn't that why I paid them! During their inspection, they only noted one leak in the roof, opposite end of the house from the master bedroom. The sellers hired a roofer to repair and I had to pay GNB to come out and re-inspect. At that inspection they requested I not make my check out to the business, but to the owner or son personal name for tax reasons. I'm sorry, there is no possible way these issues did not exist while they were in my house doing the inspection. These issues did not just appear in a matter of days. The amount of time they actually spent in my house doing the inspection was in no way sufficient to truly earn the amount of money I paid, nor to find all possible issues.
