The inspector Kenneth Altes from Architectural Inspections, with Texas

Real Estate Commission license 623, inspected the house I was buying.

I spent $500 for his inspection but got a report with many wrong

results, not-inspected items or inspected without results... His

behave showed he just wanted to get money and did not care his

responsibility. Here are just few of the problems during the

inspections of my house:

1. Kenneth Altes did not work systematically and thoroughly. Many many

times during the inspection Kenneth got phone calls, called out or

talked to other people. He was easily got confused once he was

interrupted. His inspection was not thorough.

2. Kenneth Altes reported that the down stair A/C system did not heat

or cool. Later on I called and paid for the repairman to come... It

turned out that the A/C system was fine. The repairman just needed to

replace the batteries in the thermostat.

3. Kenneth Altes inspected the garage door and reported no problems.

But in reality these 2 garage doors are not functioning well. Needs

repair or replacement.

4. Kenneth Altes did not report the inspection results for roof

structure and attic. I don't know whether he did inspections on these

very important items ot not. But he knew that my house pier and beam

foundation was not in good condition and needed to repair soon. He

definitely needed to report the inspection on roof structure and

attic.

5. Kenneth Altes did not inspect the security system. He even did not

want to inspect the sprinkler system. After I insisted on this item he

came back and inspected it.

6. Kenneth Altes skipped inspections on most of water system. He

claimed that testing it might cause the bathroom to flood due to

leaking sump pump. In reality he should be able to test each

individual faucet, toilet, and appliance one after another without any

problem. But he did not want to.

In summary Kenneth Altes does not work professionally as an inspector

and lacks of knowledge being as an inspector.
