Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence. As a trained professional, I'll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. Homeowners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs.
Review by Michael M.in Kenosha, WI Project: Inspect a Home
Ted Nelson from Criterion was early and inspecting the outside of the home immediately. Ted was friendly, courteous, and very professional. He was very thorough. He inspected the home from top to bottom. Electrical, plumbing, foundation, hvac, appliances, mold, etc. Ted found some potentially very dangerous situations. Gas leak, bad GFCI outlet, etc. I am extremely happy that I hired Ted to do the inspection. It really was a pleasure working with him.

Mr. Nelson was very good. He answered all our questions and was very through on every aspect. We would highly recommend him. He got the inspection report to us by 10 pm that evening after keeping him there from 3:30 to 6 pm. Thanks Ted

Review by Erica V.in Kenosha, WI Project: Inspect a Home
Ted was really easy to work with and open to our questions – and as first-time homebuyers we had a lot! The only reason I couldn't rate Criterion Home Inspectors higher is because we moved in and found some things that were missed during the inspection: a bad window (frame broken, seal missing, almost 1/4" gap to outside), the electrical wiring was messed up and circuits would blow upstairs and downstairs when appliances were turned on, and 2 of 3 phone jacks (and some outlets) were inoperable. None of these issues are "defects," but it would have been helpful to know about them going into the deal.

Ted was very thorough with the inspection. The report was pretty comprehensive. He showed up on time and was very willing to explain his findings as he did the inspection. He was also helpful answering questions after the inspection by phone. I recommend Ted and Criterion Home Inspectors. I would hire him again.

Review by Nancy M.in South Milwaukee, WI Project: Inspect a Home
Ted Nelson is professional and friendly in just the right measure. He discovered something about the home we were going to purchase that we would have never guessed. We did not purchase the home because of it. His report was thorough and fair. He stood by his work even when challenged by the seller’s realtor. If Ted had been less knowledgeable and confident in his work, we would have purchased a home that was much less valuable than we were led to believe. We would have had some serious buyer’s remorse. We were more than happy with Ted’s service; he went above and beyond what you expect from people these days. And we will heed Ted’s advise in the future…get the home inspected BEFORE you put in an offer! It wasn’t easy to break the contract.
