NJCAT Engineering Inspections

Nick Catalino was made our home inspection a very nice experience. We were buying a rundown duplex as an investment and needed an inspector to tell us exactly how bad it was. Nick did a good job of that without breaking our hearts. Explained everything thoroughly and for a fair price. Charming clean-​cut and professional. He also followed through with all reports required for insurance purposes within 24 hours.

This was the fourth time I’ve purchased a home and 1^st time with Nick as an Inspector (Nick was a referral from my real estate agent). The first home Nick inspected and was trying to purchase he found out the home needed a new roof and greedy owner wanted to make $ 100,000 profit on the house in one year without repairing anything or even splitting the cost of the roof. I moved on to finding another home after paying all the Inspection fees. Second home — Nick «missed the leak in the family room completely (see picture to the left of the plate) even though I specifically told him to let me know what the color differentiation was in the kitchen ceilings because my Dad had noticed discoloration in another room. He noted that there were a couple of shingles missing in the report. He also missed completely the problem in the driveway where they can’t just fix a couple of pavers they will have to repour as it is falling off into the ravine. He also missed the muscovie duck nest on the roof which has cost me to date $ 1800 dollars. These are HUGE issues and will cost a lot of money to repair. I sincerely think that my real estate agent Avis Swenson and Nick Catalano are in «cahoots» with each other and he purposely didn’t mention the roof or the driveway or the ducks so that the deal would go through and my real estate agent would get her $ 13,000 and Nick would continue to get referrals from her. Nick is a very thorough in his reports and I can’t believe he missed these 3 big ticket things by accident. My advice — do NOT ask your real estate agent for an Inspector referral. This is the worst home I have ever owned and I’ve only lived in it 4 months and want to move already. Uggh. Go to Angie’s List.
