We had the misfortune of purchasing a house that was pre-inspected by North Starr Inspections. This was during the time when everything was flying off the market in less than a week so we waived inspection because the pre-inspection report didn’t have any major concerns. Now that we’re 6 months into our home, here’s all the things that North Starr missed: - Rat infestation in the attic. As in rat poop EVERYWHERE. The pictures from the attic were carefully curated so no rat poop would be visible. This was a $13,000 fix. - All toilets leaking (including through the ceiling in the garage that eventually required water remediation). About $2,000 for all 3 toilets to repair. - The report noted only a few outlets weren’t grounded, which were replaced by the seller. After a few months, I’ve since found 12 outlets that didn’t have proper grounding. Not a great thing when you have a curious toddler running around, but at least we had covers on most of them. Do yourself a favor and 1) always get your own inspection report and 2) don’t use North Starr for that inspection Less

The two inspectors who helped with my home inspection were both very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They did a thorough inspection, took their time making sure that they checked each area of the home and presented a full report with clear photos of each item and a detailed description. They were attentive to following safety precautions and conscientious and respectful of the home (wore shoe covers, etc). Thank you, North Starr Inspections! I’ll be sure to use your excellent services again on any future home purchases! Less
