The BrickKicker

The inspection was very thorough and findings were clearly communicated. My inspector, Javier, spent extra time to discuss home care needs outside of the typical inspection list. I was very pleased with the quality of the inspection, professionalism and knowledge of the inspector, and ease of scheduling. I would recommend them and plan to use them again if I ever buy again in the area.

Andrew and Ed did a wonderful job. They were very thorough, efficient and approachable. The 60-​page report appeared in my inbox the same day!

I have referred Rob Claus as my one and only home inspector since 2009, when I met him during a home inspection that my buyer had hired him to do. I was really impressed with how he explained the home from the outside in, not leaving out any detail. He is like the Sherlock Holmes of Inspectors, his knowledge and wit makes the buyer feel instantly at ease and comfortable with asking questions. I have learned so much about homes myself from watching him do what he does best. Rob makes it clear from the get go that he is there to work for the buyer, not the seller nor myself as the agent. He truly has the buyers best interest at heart. I have even had Rob do inspections on my own purchases because I trust him thoroughly. He is a wealth of knowledge, especially with taking something that can be daunting to some buyers, such as home maintenance and repair and explaining it in the simplest and most cost effective terms.

Very thorough inspector. I appreciated his attention to detail. He clearly explained the items that were inspected and offered excellent insights into the proper building materials/​codes/​common practices. I would highly recommend using The BrickKicker services again and again.

We Chose Brick Kricker after Unilocal reviews and suggestion from Realtor. Greg Domel was too good at his job.
He showed up 20 mins early and was cooperative to go through the home with him. He gave suggestions and patiently listened to all our questions.
Even though he is not able to climb the roof but evaluated it with binoculars. He sent Detail report in 2 – 3 hours after inspection and
I was suprised to see he took a lot of detail pictures which was helpful for us to recall.

Happy we chose Greg Domel for our inspection. He was early for his schedule and observed even small details and took picures of all issues. He is not able to test
furnace due to license issue but still was able to go through it throughly and provided comments on it.
We are concerned on exterior wall but as it’s unique case he researched after inspection and gave us call explaining details.
He had good knowledge and quick in evaluation. Surely Recommemd him especially first time home buyers.

My inspector was Greg Domel. I absolutely would use him again. He was very professional, informative, an overall nice guy. I trusted him to know his stuff and he did! He was so patient with all my questions. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

I decided to use Brickkickers for my home inspection, after selling my previous house the buyer used this company and I was impressed with the report provided. they were spot on with things that needed to be done.
My inspection at the current house we are purchasing was performed by Rob, I was impressed by his thoroughness he did not leave any stone unturned.
After the inspection I had some questions later that night and asked to talk to him about it.
Rob called me back and took time to go over any other questions I had.
I really appreciated his professionalism and the time he took even after inspection was done.
You can not go wrong with Rob as your inspector and I have a feeling from reading all the other reviews the other inspectors are top notch also.
Thank You Brickkickers for the great service I will recommend you to everyone moving forward.

Andrew was excellent! He was very knowledgable, professional, and punctual. He knew what he was doing, took his time, and found several things to be improved upon in our new home before we made the purchase. The detailed report was extremely helpful, and we would use BrickKicker again in a heartbeat!

Great experience with Tom. He was punctual, polite and knew what he was doing. Also super friendly. He took his time to go over everything that was asked. I would definitely recommend them. The report was very detailed and thorough. Thanks again!

Great service. Simply explained. Worth the money. On time and more.

I used this company when I bought a home and when I sold that home, the buyers used it. I agree with some of the other reviews stating the report was overly critical, but to a fault. Then, in the seller’s report it noted there «were gaps in the fuse box that could be a potential hazard.» The issue is that there were gaps AFTER the inspector removed the cover to check that everything was to code; he did not put it back on correctly. I’m 100% positive that it was properly installed before the inspection because an electrician did some work a few weeks before and made sure of it. Also, my home was not left the way that I left it.

I had a great experience. Loved Javier. Very professional and detail oriented. Quick turn around on the report as well. Whatever you’re paying Javier you should double it!

Greg was terrific. He walked us through each step of the home, answered all of our questions and went over a few things that I was a little unsure of. He pointed out the positives obviously but when he spoke about the negatives he offered workable solutions. He was knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend Greg to anyone.

Javier, the inspector, was very thorough. We were not able to be at the inspection since we currently live in NY. He made sure to call and go over everything with me once he had finished the inspection and was available for any questions.

BEWARE! READ UNTIL THE END, THEY LEFT MY GAS ON!!!
I am a seller and our buyers hired this company for the inspection for our house. The inspector arrived 30 minutes early, I work from home so I was not able to finish my work prior to leaving with my dogs because they were barking at him as he walked around the house non-​stop without the realtor or the buyers even there yet.
I then asked him for an estimate of how long it would take, he wouldn’t tell me but said he would call me as soon as they finished and took down my number. I had an appointment for which I had to leave 2 hours after the inspection was supposed to start. 1:45 minutes went by and nothing, my realtor finally tells me they are done (she knew through the other realtor, not the inspector). I rushed home, left my dogs and went to the doctor.
My husband and I got home 4 hours later from doctor and errands and our enclosed house with our dogs in it REEKED of gas. Our gas stove was on. Our dogs were in the gas infested house for at least 4 hours, our windows all shut, our heater on. They could’ve died and our house could’ve exploded.
My realtor and I both reached out to the BrickKicker for an explanation, an apology, I don’t know, ANYTHING?! The very ‘responsive’ general manager (according to the lady who picked up the phone) has yet to call me back.
I today receive the report from the buyers and there is a crap load of untrue information on it. So first he makes me late to my appointment by failing to call me like HE OFFERED. Then he irresponsibility almost burned my house down and kill my dogs and then he lies about what’s wrong to make it look like he did his job.
Please don’t use these people and if your buyers do, CHECK EVERYTHING before leaving the house.
*I just want to add that the General Manager called me today (5 days after I called), I assume after he saw the review, and apologized and guaranteed he will review this issue with his team.

Javier did great. Hopefully my house doesn’t fall apart.

This is my first home purchase, and Rob from Brickkicker was unbelievably helpful in explaining the details and functions of a home in plain language — and how best to keep it maintained and running well. I felt like we got full details of everything he noticed, but never in a way that made me feel overwhelmed or confused. I never felt rushed or pressured — and he took time to explain to me and my husband each item on the inspection report in full. Thanks, Rob!

Inspected our house for a buyer. Report filled with completely false information.
First– after inspector was here one outlet in the kitchen no longer worked. It made coffee that morning. I get things happen, but report does not indicate he broke it. Second a gas leak was supposedly in basement marked by red tape. No thought to alert homeowners that an explosive situation exists AND no red tape anywhere on gas line. Report says back up sump pump does not work– odd it works right this minute. Said sewer ejector pump didn’t work– again odd– working now and has worked every day we have lived here. I understand that owners may think their house is perfect and there were some things on the report that were valid and will be addressed. This company seems to be in business to make up problems so buyers can claim the house they’re buying is crap and should cost less. There are too many out right lies on my report for it to be otherwise. No respect for this company at all. They are either scam artists or the people they hire are idiots. I have to give it one star to make a review but my opinion is even lower.

First, Our Inspector was Chris Roller. He was very knowledgeable and charismatic. Definitely worth requesting Chris to be your inspector.
Second, The inspection. You follow him around to speed the inspection process. Ask anything and everything. Only time you will find out the true problems with your house in a 2 hour window.
Third, Do not forget to sign the disclaimers/​disclosures that BrickKicker sent you. This will allow BrickKicker to make customers aware of their general liability and thus release the Inspection Report.
Very IMPRESSED WITH THIS COMPANY!
