I am involved in a very ugly confrontation with him right now. I will privately share details with anyone who inquires. ---------- 03-Sep-90 15:35 Dave.McKeown@MAPS.CS.CMU.EDU Home inspectors I couldn't resist, this should probably should go into the Bovik files. I had a nasty time 5 years ago as a home seller with a buyer who used Ray Schinhofen as an inspector. He was telling the buyer things that were just plain wrong. I wouldn't use him either as an inspector or as an architect. As for Jerry Valenti; he's too heavy to be going up on roofs but is a terrific inspector, especially for older homes. If you have a tile or slate roof you are much better off getting a reputable roofer up to look at its condition than relying on a structural engineer. Try Paul Hoolahan. 521-0191.
