Home Inspection of 158 Pier Pl

Sean was very professional. We were especially impressed with how thorough he was. He was extremely detailed in his inspection, which is very good in his line of work. He even noted things that needed to be fixed that wasn't required as part of his inspection. His report was thorough and easy to read, full of pictures for easy reference and his customer service was excellent. We are very happy we used Sean as our home inspector. We will definitely use him again in the future. Thank you Sean for all your help!

Hi Elaine, It is a real treat when I get to work with such nice clients as you and your husband. I think it is very important to go over as much as I can during an inspection because I am only there for one day, and when I leave I want it to be easy for you understand the report so you will be able to easily find what needs to be repaired, long after the inspection. I certainly appreciate you taking the time to post your comments here on HomeStars. Let me know if you need me in the future and I'll be there to help you out. Thanks, Sean

Home inspection

After being left with more questions and doubts then answers with the home inspector recommended to us, we decided to go online and find someone ourselves. We came across Sean Moss which wasn't too difficult as he has an incredible number of positive reviews, and in using Sean's service, we came to the conclusion that each review was well warranted. Sean was punctual and well prepared, and not only did he work in an efficient and detailed manner, he was very knowledgeable and professional and did his best to go over any queries or concerns we had during the inspection and after. We would highly recommend Sean especially if you are new to the home market.

Home Inspection

While looking for a new home, my wife and I have hired the services of Sean Moss Home and Mould Inspection twice. We almost purchased a beautiful heritage home that my wife had fallen in love with. After finding Sean Moss on Homestars.com and reading the many positive reviews written about Sean Moss aswell as his experience with old/ heritage homes, we decided to hire him to inspect our potential dream home. After Sean's VERY indepth and thorough inspection report, my wife and I decided to walk away from the purchase of our " dream home". With the amount of structural decay aswell as a number of other major issues uncovered by Sean that a previous inspector had overlooked we had the information needed to keep ourselves from purchasing a money pit that would have ruined us financially. So after finding the next house we were interested in buying, there was no doubt as to who we would hire to inspect all other possible homes. The next home was a very well maintained and much newer property, therefore we hadn't expected to find any major concerns. Well after checking every possible nook and crany Sean Moss discovered black mould inside of the ceiling space aswell as some in the shower. Because of Seans diligence the homeowners agreed to remidiate all mould issues prior to our purchase of the home. We have recommended Sean Moss to our friends and family who are looking to buy a new home. We cannot say enough how much we appreciate the services and care shown by Sean Moss and have no doubt who will be inspecting every home we purchase in the future.

Hi Rich, I was glad to see that the prior owners of your new home were willing to deal with the mold issues. In a tough market like this one, not everyone is willing to negotiate. I appreciate you trusting in me to inspect two properties for you and your wife, while taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your experience on HomeStars. Let me know if you have any questions & I'll be sure to help you out. Regards, Sean

Condo Inspection

We hired Sean to do a condo inspection on an older condo we purchased as a first home for our family. I was hesitant to get an inspection done at all thinking what could he find that I wouldn't be able to see between our own review of the unit and a depreciation report and strata minutes. While googling the benefits of a condo inspection I came across Sean's name (and all of the good reviews) and I am glad I did. He was very thorough and explained to me step by step what he was going to do. Alot of times when you're providing a service with no tangible end product you have to make clients see value in your work and Sean did that for us. He pointed things out inside the the unit that we would not have known and because of his expertise we shaved some money off of the purchase price of the condo. He also took his time to go over common property at the building so we were aware what we were buying into since it was older. He was friendly, punctual and he knew what he was doing. Highly recommended.

condo inspection

Sean did a condo inspection for us and we are very glad we picked him. He went above and beyond doing the inspection; he also educated us on how to maintain the apartment. He was very thorough with the inspection and in the same day we received a detailed and clear report with pictures of his findings. I will use his services in the future and definitely recommend Sean to all my friends.

House Inspector

In this very hot real estate market, we were told that the sellers wanted a clean offer with NO subjects. Therefore, time was of the essence to get an inspection so we could put an offer on this house. It was a very chaotic day and lots of stress. I called Sean and he had a cancellation for the next day and was at the house as promised by 8:30 a.m. We met him at the property by 11:00 and he caught us up to what he had discovered thus far. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain to everybody (my husband a civil engineer and myself who has limited knowledge of construction) in a fashion that everybody could make an informed decision. I felt Sean was definitely working for us and is extremely honest and trustworthy. We were able to make a decision based on our verbal conversation with Sean that day and later on the same evening we received a very detailed, clear, professional report with very clear pictures for our records. I would highly recommend Sean and would definitely use him again. Really nice guy! Thank you...

Hi Anita,
I really appreciate you taking the to to share your comments here on HomeStars. Moving and looking for properties can be stressful. Part of my job is to bridge the information gap, by providing meaningful, useful information so that you can make a decision... while trying to reduce the stress factor. I hope you will be able to find the right home soon. Take care and all the best! Sean

Home Inspection

We ran into some issues at the beginning of the inspection through no fault of our own or of Sean's, and he handled these issues with great patience and respect. He made the inspection clear and easy for us to understand. He went into detail with everything he inspected. He took his time and we never felt he rushed through anything. We feel confident that we got a clear picture of the property we were buying, and were confident in making a decision based on Sean's recommendations. I would recommend Sean to anyone buying a new home. Thanks so much for your time and patience during our inspection. Many thanks!!

Hello Amy,
Thank you for you feedback and kind words. Sometimes there are misunderstandings between tenants and agents, which can get awkward. I just wanted to focus on making sure that you were able to get a thorough inspection. At the end of the day I'm happy how everything worked out. Any question is the future, just let me know and I'll be happy to help you out. Take care, Sean

Home Inspection

My husband and I found Sean Moss Home Inspections by browsing Home Stars and saw his incredibly high ratings. We called him to conduct a home inspection during the closing of a real estate deal. From the very first call to arrange an appointment, Sean was very professional and did an excellent job at being descriptive of all the steps of the home inspection.

Sean is very passionate about his work and it translates in his attention to detail, thoroughness, and knowledge. My husband and I felt like we were in good hands and his inspection gave us the confidence in knowing everything possible (good and bad) about our future home. He is very respectful of your wishes, asking how we wanted to be informed of things during the inspection, if we wanted to remain private or speak open in front in front our realtor.

The one thing I really appreciated was Sean would not sacrifice on the quality of his work in essence of time. Unfortunately the seller did not make some areas easily accessible to Sean, making it very difficult to inspect some spots of the house. However, Sean stayed longer than expected to ensure that he properly reviewed all components of the house.

Overall, Sean did an outstanding job and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a high quality inspection for their future home.

Hello Krista, I am happy to see that you and your husband were happy with my work, and took the time to post your comments online. Almost all homes have different items that need to be addressed, especially when they are older. And since each home is unique, (in it's own way) they cannot all be done within the same amount of time. Also, I always ask my clients if they want the details of the inspection disclosed to everyone or if they want privacy. This allows my clients to digest the details before discussing how they want to proceed with the sellers. Again, I appreciate your comments and wish you an easy transition into your new home. Regards, Sean
