I feel like Kenny was out to sabotage our sale from the beginning.
5.0

Although we were the sellers of the house we recommended Commonwealth to our potential buyer since we had used the company before as buyers. We wish our potential buyer had not taken our recommendation. I feel like Kenny was out to sabotage our sale from the beginning. Kenny raised some valid concerns after inspecting our house, however he included some ridiculous items in his inspection report. We had a new roof installed 3 months prior to inspection but Kenny told us that we needed the roof to be redone because our roofing company had done a bad job. We had a roof contractor check the roof after Kenny inspection and were told that there were a couple of errors in installation but they were minor and a new roof wasn’t needed. Kenny also indicated that we needed new outlet covers because ours were plastic and kids could shove knives in them and get electrocuted. Those were his words verbatim. Really? Is that warranted in the report ?He also wrote us noticed a missing piece of laminate in a closet which prompted a questiona as to why there is having laminate over the hard wood. Why is that he said in his report? We have no idea since it was that way when we bought the house. Again? Really? Do you write up houses that have carpet over hard wood and wonder why? I could go on and on with some of the ridiculous items that Kenny included in his report. However, the most glaring issue I had with Kenny was his inappropriate comments that were racially insensitive. Our potential buyer was African american. Kenny told her that the hood vent was too low, and she could catch the house on fire when she made fried chicken. She was very uncomfortable after that comment as were we. We should have stopped the inspection immediately after that comment and sent Kenny packing,but we didn’t . Since the inspection, we have talked to others who told us that Kenny has sabotaged many a sale with his inspections. Kenny says he works for the buyer, but in my opinion, he is hurting buyers because they are losing out on good houses as a result of his inspections. They just think the houses are s*** because he says so.

Kenny is very thorough and allows
5.0

This inspection was performed on a house over 4000 sq feet and more than 100 years old. Kenny is very thorough and allows you to walk along with him for the inspection so he can explain any things that need corrected or could become problematic. The inspection report was 33 pages of valuable information!

He was extremely thorough covering the building from top to bottom.

Kenny Martin of Commonwealth Home Inspections was great! He was extremely thorough covering the building from top to bottom. He noted any major issues immediately and answered any questions we had. The report was fantastic as it had a photo and explanation for each problematic issue. He also followed up after sending the report to make sure we did not have any additional questions. Thanks to Mr. Martin’s inspection, what we saw as wear and tear and cosmetic defects were discovered to be not just neglect to repair problems, but rather serious code and safety violations that would have had to be corrected before the real work could even begin.

Kenny was awesome.
5.0

He was extremely thorough and skilled in his inspection. I was on a time crunch and he was willing to accommodate my schedule. I have used many home inspectors and Kenny would be at the top of my list for home inspectors.

There was more than 50 obvious items for concern by his trained eye.

I was surprised at what all is involved in an inspection. Kenny walked me through the process. I had just walked through a tour. I had only noticed a couple items.
