After a VERY poorly done inspection, by the owner’s (Brett Gordon) son-in-laws at “World Class Home Inspections LLC” Brett Gordon claimed he felt ‘so very’ bad after learning how poor of a job his son-in-laws did on my home inspection (they looked very young as well). Due to the badly done home inspection, I bought a home with a myriad of structural, flooring and foundational defects/ problems. Upon learning this, (regrettably after purchasing the home) Brett Gordoncame over to inspect the bad inspection his son in laws did…
However, at that point, not only did I overpay for the house, due to defects missed, if had I had actually received a decent home inspection, I would have never bought the home in the first place.
Brett’s son-in-laws missed so many defects but what is even more egregious is Brett assured me the foundation, crawlspace and overall structure of the home were ‘just fine’ and ‘all good’ on a long phone conversation with him, immediately after the inspection, (before I bought the house) even though he never set eyes on the crawlspace or foundation himself ). I cannot stress enough how much of a huge deal was made with Brett about the foundation and structure on the home, and if they were sound or in good condition (before putting earnest money on the house), and again, he assured me the foundation and structure were ‘good’ and ‘just fine’ multiple times.
Later on, after realizing his huge mess up (he was freaking out when he came over to my house, after purchasing the home and saw what his son in laws missed during the “inspection”) Brett knew how bad he had messed up and kept saying how guilty he felt and admitted the inspection was poorly done by his son-in-laws. Due to this, he promised me repairs to the foundation and other issues missed for almost SIX MONTHS….I kid you not, for almost six, whole, months I have waited and been given excuse after lame excuse why the repairs were delayed. Now, after waiting many months for a structural engineer’s report (and Brett didn’t like what was in the report, so backtracked on that, too) even though Brett is the one who insisted on a structural engineer’s report in the first place, and hired them! Brett insisted on getting a structural engineer’s report because he wanted to ‘cover himself’ with any repairs he did to my crawlspace, support beams and foundation, so I waited six entire months for nothing…Brett backed out after all this time and multiple (many) promises (verbally and in writing) to fix the issues in the crawlspace, foundation and structure. Zero integrity as I was lied to and led on for months by Brett.
Buyer Beware — Brett Gordon and ‘World Class Home Inspections LLC’ literally cost me over $50k (actually much more than that like the price of my home I would never have bought, if not for Brett and World Class Home Inspections LLC bad home inspection, plus extreme emotional distress) so I’d advise to RUN, do not walk, from this so called “inspection” company.
TLDR: Never use this company. Their poor inspection literally cost me over 50k and caused me to buy a home with myriad of structural, flooring and foundational issues. Their efforts at rectifying the situation made it even worse!
I hired this company to inspect a home before purchasing it. It was done by the owner’s (Brett) sons-in-law, who did a terrible job. They missed so many defects, and to make matters worse, Brett himself assured me that the foundation, crawlspace and overall structure were ‘just fine’ and ‘all good’ during a long phone conversation with him after the inspection (without ever having set foot in the crawlspace or foundation himself!). I made a huge deal about this before purchasing the house and only proceeded to put the earnest money due to his multiple assurances about the condition. To reiterate, I never would have bought the house had I known about these issues.
Later on, after realizing what terrible of a job this was, Brett said he felt very guilty and ‘so very’ bad and admitted the inspection was poorly done by his sons-in-law. He kept verbally promising repairs to the foundation and other issues for SIX MONTHS. I have waited for almost six month and been given excuse after lame excuse why the repairs are getting delayed.
Brett insisted on a structural engineer’s report and hired one himself (to ‘cover himself’ with any repairs he did to the crawlspace and support beams and foundation), but it appears that he didn’t like what was in the report so backtracked on the promised repairs after six months.
To make matter even worse, when Brett first realized how bad the job was and he was freaking out, he and his sons-in-law hastily installed a new vapor barrier over the old one at the home. I was warned by other contractors that this goes against industry standards and that you’re not supposed to do this. Sure enough, after 5 months, a horrible stench started to permeate through my crawlspace and finally into the downstairs living area. I had to pay $1,800 to have another company remove both vapor barriers (along with all the trash/cardboard boxes Brett left under the new vapor barrier). Moisture gets trapped between the two vapor barriers, along with wet trash that begins to produce mold and stink! I cannot believe Brett did this to me! His company treats mold but they caused mold to produce in my crawlspace!
Brett Gordon of World Class Home Inspections Ruined Me Financially !
