My wife and i currently live in Syosset, NY, But are looking for a house in Pittsburgh , PA.
We found a beautiful house in Sharpsburg just outside the city.
We were referred to Rusell Kowalik from 3 Rivers Inspection by are real estate broker.
The house itself when you look at it is a beautiful 100 year old house with 8 bedrooms and 7 baths and over 10,000 sq ft.
Wife and I put in and offer and it was accepted and we then needed to contact 3 Rivers.
I called russell on the phone to make arrangements for him to do a full inspection on the house and garage.
Russell was very friendly and very easy to work with over the phone since neither myself or my wife could be in Pittsburgh for the inspection.
3 Rivers Report ripped apart the house and gave detailed info and pictures of everything that was wrong with the house.
Thank goodness for Russell from 3 rivers and his accurate report or we would of ended up with a real lemon of a house.
Russell's report showed that the following issues were significant
3000 sq ft garage needed to be reinforced with steel beams 10-15000 $
real wall of garage needed to be anchored which would of been 8-10000 $
water heater in basement not working
tons of electrical issues
heavy mold in basement
roof on porch shot
roof on house maybe 5 years left
retaining wall on side of house coming down
Those were just the big items, Then there were many small things wrong as well
his report with pictures was around 100 pages and super accurate and very easy to follow.
