Frank is great, we were extremely satisfied with his inspection and detailed report.

Frank is great, we were extremely satisfied with his inspection and detailed report.

We also used Frank. He is very thorough and knowledgable. We have asked Frank for his advice and opinion of a few items beyond the inspection and he has always been accessible and helpful. We would give him our highest possible recommendation!

We also recommend Frank D'Angelo!

Thank you all for the kind words. I am humbled and blessed.

Dear Jetsfan,

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have on inspecting your
home.

First, please allow me to first tell you a little about myself and how I do my
inspection. I'm 58 years old and am a retired Firefighter from New York. I
usually schedule only one or two inspections per day. Most other inspectors
book 3 or more inspections a day and are always rushing to get to the next
house. I would rather concentrate on your home, not getting to the next
one.

Also, I am an ASHI Certified inspector. Many are not and I am proud of
that credential.
My inspection usually takes 3 hours or more. I now also have my son,
Eric working with me, and the both of us work great as a team.
Eric is highly credentialed and with both of us working together
on your home the inspection sometimes takes a bit less time onsite
without compromising quality at all.

In a typical inspection I check
the exterior, walk the roof, crawl through the attic, check the garage, all
utilities like the A/C and Electric, plumbing etc. Then I put on my inside
shoes and check all the inside rooms, bathrooms, etc and finish checking
the kitchen and appliances. Lastly, I check your sprinkler system.

I'm always happy to answer any questions and teach folks how to manage
your A/C, sprinklers, etc. After the inspection I go back to my office and
take an hour or so to compile the report. You will get a full color report, easy
to read and understand complete with pictures, etc. I also send the report
to The Villages Warranty Department that same day (on a Warranty Inspection) so they can quickly
call you to take care of any issues I may find. Both you and the warranty
department get the report that same day.

My usual fee for a Warranty inspection is around $295.00 for a typical
designer
home 2000 sq feet or less. Designer homes that are bigger may be a bit
more. Premier homes are a bit more, Villas are less.

I do about 400 inspections a year in The Villages. Please feel free to ask
your neighbors, often you will find I have inspected their home.

I know I am not the most
expensive, and I also know I am not the cheapest. A couple of weeks ago I
was doing an inspection and another inspector drove in and was doing a
warranty inspection across the street. I watched him, and he was there for
49 minutes.
I did not see him go up on the roof, he used binoculars. I do not think he
went in the attic. I find issues in the attic often, and some of the roof issues
I find I would not easily find if I did not walk onto the roof. Being a career
firefighter, walking a roof is something I am comfortable with.

When he was finished he handed the homeowners a checklist. No report,
no pictures, and I do not think he contacted the warranty department for
them. As he was leaving I waved at him and we met for a couple of
minutes. He complained about his job and told me he charged $150.00. I
wished him he best and thought, "I never want to be like that".

Of course, I
would never divulge his name and I know some folks would be happy with
his price, etc. The lesson there is that all inspectors are not the same.

While some inspectors do not like warranty inspections, I favor them and
most of my work is doing warranty inspections. Since I am in The Villages
everyday I know the different models well and know what to look for with
certain models.

Of course, I do not work for The Villages at all, but I have a
good working relationship with all six of the woman in the warranty
department, as they get my reports most everyday.

I hope I have answered most of your questions. If not, please feel free to
either e-mail me or call me at my number below.
Thank you for the chance to earn your business.

Respectfully, Frank D'Angelo, ACI 352-250-7818

I agree completely with Franks comments above, he does EXACTLY what he describes, and he is well worth any additional cost. In fact Frank pointed out a couple of things that he does not like, and that warranty does not cover. I did those 'repairs' on my own, and they were things I would have never noticed. Thank you Frank.

Plus how could you not trust a guy with a golden retriever in his avatar. If we ever have to do it again, we would use Frank. We've heard nothing but good.
