Home inspection

I instructed Solex Group for a residential inspection. I spoke to Vahn on the phone and he was very professional and informative. He arrived on-time and did a thorough inspection of every corner of the house. He explained what the issues were anf supplementing it with maintenance information which was valuable. He spent over 3.5 hours and he spotted issues which was critical for our investment purposes and was logical and comprehensive. I would recommend every buyer or seller to engage their services and benefit from their experience and honest advise.

Home Inspection

We were looking for someone for pre-offer inspection and decided to choose Vahn based on reviews online and he seemed to be a nice guy over the phone. Indeed, he did a great job. His inspection was very thorough and the report is full of detailed information, useful recommendations, and great tips. The pictures in the report are also extremely helpful in making the report easy to read. I would definitely recommend his service to anyone looking for great home inspectors.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I recently purchase an investment property in Bradford. I called Vahn and arranged for him to do my home inspection. He explained everything to me that was going to happen the day of the inspection. We met at the property and I walked through the inspection with him. He was very detailed and did a very professional job. I would recommend Vahn if you are looking for a home inspector. Hopefully I will be investing in more properties in the future and will call Vahn for his service. Thanks again.

We chose Vahn from Solex Group because we were on a very tight timeline. We called him at 11pm and he was able to come for an inspection next day at 2pm!! We picked the extended home inspection package with the infrared scanning. The whole inspection lasted around 3.5 hours which included explanation on all the issues he found. The written report is ready the next day with thorough explanation of the problems and the recommendations. Vahn is friendly and a knowledgeable home inspector.

Vahn from Solex Group was recommended to me by friends. He was very thorough in his inspection. During the inspection I learned a lot about my new home and about home improvement. As he walked around the home he explained what he was doing, took pictures, then sent a very detailed report with pictures attached explaining exactly what issues existed and giving clear guidelines on how to deal with them and the urgency of dealing with those problems. He sent the report within a few hours of the inspection. I would certainly recommend Vahn in the future.

Pre-offer Home inspection

Vahn is a great representative. Due to both my husband and my work schedule he was very accommodating towards our schedule. He showed his knowledge and expertise to us when he took the time to answer our questions, and explained everything very clearly to us. I like that he would give his opinion and suggestion and even speak of personal experience and he will give descriptions, what to do and when to do it. He took nearly 2 hours to go through the house from, exterior to interior; he jumped on the roof, went to the attic and went through everything with a fine comb. He found evidence of vermin activities in the house in turn we were able to ask the owners to disclose their information. He seems like a person that truly loves his work and you can see it through the detail actions that he does when he does the inspection.

Thanks for the review June. You're right that I truly do enjoy my work. I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping people by educating them about their life's largest investment. By the way, the inspection took approximately 3 hrs (I've never been able to perform a home inspection on a 30-40 year old house in even under 2.5 hrs). Can it be done? Sure.....but those are the inspectors you want to avoid.

Buyer's extended home inspection

My fiance and i are house hunting and Vahn conducted a very thorough home inspection with us on a property we wanted to buy. The inspection was HIGHLY informative, Vahn is so pleasant to work with and very very knowledgeable. He is thorough and extremely detail oriented and we felt that we were getting the REAL story of what the risks were related to the property were were interested in. He got into the corners, on the roof, outside, inside and in total we spent about 5 hours and felt like we knew every nook and cranny and all the possible areas of weakness during the inspection. He answered all of our novice questions kindly and with detail. I appreciated his written report with pictures and i will be going with Solex Group for all future inspections (as we are still looking for a home).

Extended Home Inspection

Had a home inspection done and it was extremely thorough! We had the extended inspection because we wanted the thermal imaging and it was worth the extra money. There were a few things (such as leaks) that we would not have found without it. Vahn was very friendly, approachable, and explained everything in a way that made it easier to understand. I highly recommend using Solex Group for your home inspection!

If you are looking for a thorough, comprehensive and detailed home inspection - look no further than the Solex Group!!!
Vahn totally exceeded our expectations on what we thought a home inspection would be like.
Vahn was VERY friendly and encouraged us to walk around with him during the inspection. He answered all of our questions along the way and from talking to him you know he knows his stuff inside and out.
We had also requested the thermal imaging scan and it revealed things that we would not have known otherwise, such as a section of insulation missing in our living room among other things.
Our home inspection took four hours, longer than the average home inspection, and it was the best four hours I have ever spent, learning the ins and outs of our new home.
Our detailed report was over 70 pages long and there were 30 pages of helpful information useful to every home owner. This was not a check box type of report. The report had pictures, recommendations and timelines of when items should be completed. You will never get a more detailed report anywhere!
I would definitely recommend Vahn and Solex Group for your home inspection. Believe me, you won't be disappointed!!!

Professional Home Inspection

As a first home buyer, my fiancée and I didn’t know if there were any problems with the house, so we called Vahn from Solex. We had many questions prepared before the inspection, Vahn went through the questions and thoroughly answered them all. He not only identified the problems of the house but he also provided invaluable recommendations on how we can fix the problems.

Vahn is very detailed oriented, he performed a thorough inspection from outside of the house to the inside. During the inspection, as he was going through every inch of the house, he would educate us on many things about the house (ie., how to maintain gas furnace and hot water tank, where to shut off the water and power in case of emergencies, how to fix the current caulking problem…). After the inspection (which took more than 3 hours), we were very comfortable with our house.

Overall, Vahn has exceeded our expectations. I definitely would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional home inspection. Be sure to ask as many questions about your house, there are no such things as bad or stupid questions with Vahn.
