Joe is an excellent home inspector. He is thorough and the most knowledgeable home inspector I have been in contact with. He pointed out valid concerns, and his report was fair and honest.

Thorough, with great explanations of everything they found. Joe and his team did a great job for us start to finish and made us feel confident that we knew what we were getting in our home purchase. 10/10 would recommend!

Inspections did a fantastic job determining the condition of the house that I am considering buying. Inspector was on time and did the inspection expeditiously. He was thorough and fair and doing the inspection. He provided a detailed report that went far beyond my expectations. If I have inspection in the future, would gladly use the services.

I have worked with Joe Gardino and the Ground Floor Home Inspection team for years and always recommend them to the home buyers I work with or anyone else who may have a need. I find them to be very thorough, professional and detailed in their work. You can't go wrong with this team!

Jeff S. was incredible to have as an inspector. As first time homebuyers Jeff communicated to us what to expect from him and defined the terminology he would be using and we were able to rest easy as Jeff completed his inspection and did an amazing job informing us of any concerns he had as well as how to identify and operate important items within our home. He even took the initiative to inspect the outside before hand since we were expecting inclement weather the day of inspection. Upon looking at report, he was very thorough in the inspection and had clear cut information with any pictures he took. From start to finish I appreciated the honest and timely communication!

Very knowledgeable and detailed in examining all aspects of the structure that are visible without taking apart walls and ceilings. Could explain in an understandable way what was found and what implications the findings have. Report is very thorough with excellent pictures to illustrate the findings. I have dealt with over 10 different home inspectors over the years and this was my best experience.

CONSUMER BEWARE! If? you don’t want your house to look like mine down below beware! In January 2019 I purchased a home in Southern Colorado. Hired ground floor to inspect the home. That was my bad big troubles! Followed!! Since moving here we have discovered that many significant things were wrong with this house that were marked as ‘ typical ‘ or normal cracks In the cement. The inspector seemed to miss the fact that there are significant issues with flooding, causing damage to the foundation, damage to concrete and mold issues, not Hidden mold it's all over The bathroom ceiling in plane site! wasn't an issue for them not their home not their FAMILIES its a issue of great concern since all of us living here have horrible allergies. I had a REAL expert Come out and he clearly addressed the issues of the flooding under and around the house. This information was played down with ‘ typical.’ Or normal cracks Misleading me! Saying in The report wasn’t any major issues! when there were some MAJOR water intrusion issues! Again not this company‘s House or family. I guarantee you they wouldn’t of purchased it! Do your home work Get real building contractors, not Home inspectors In Colorado, they are not regulated. Hard lesson learned! UPDATE!! October 2,2022 YOU can see the new photos I uploaded photos speak for themselves, ground floor marked cracked foundation as marginal? Talking to a real expert a CRACKED FOUNDATION is CRITICAL it’s MAJOR. all the WHITE STAINS “lime” on the foundation in the crawl space was indication that major water intrusion is occurring every time it RAINS ground floor advice on the report was call when you see moisture? Well wasn't raining that day he was there BUT, every time it rains, it was moist down there I have no idea how critical it was Good God! ground floor had no idea what he was looking at. you can tell by the photos I’m gonna upload, I had to cover all the cracks and all the MAJOR leaks around the entire foundation that he called marginal or typical cracks which is nothing typical it was major water intrusion every time it rained. I was clueless how could I ever have trusted ground floor! MISTAKE! As you see if I was advised correctly the entire house had to be sealed off to stop the major water intrusion. And the damage that was there at the time of inspection because of the inspectors incompetence! I need around 40 grand Just to stabilize the home and 170 grand to fix the foundation and all the issues that was listed in the foundation report from ground floor before I purchased it. And they’re right three years later I’m paying for It.UPDATE! October 4,2022 I have a 33-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome and I am the full-time Caregiver for her. I am a widow since 2015 when my husband took His life, I wanted to invested in this house to leave her something after my passing. Cost me 145,000, it wasn’t worth a penny of all my investment Is completely lost, both me and my disabled daughter lost it all! Learning all this felt like a sucker punched in the gut! WHY??? Update October 30, 2022 Another interesting thing my real estate agent at that time told me they don’t look for mold? that was absolutely true there is mold all over the ceiling in that bathroom and underneath my bathroom carpet who knows where else may be in the walls. I assumed they look for mold but they don’t. I have my real estates agent email stating that I will post that too. Update”My agent was from Remax this is what he sent me. Getting carpet out of the bathroom is a great step towards mitigating the mold from what I understand. It looks like from the picture that the mold is isolated under the carpet. “The inspector does not test for mold or look for mold in ways in which it would be required to pull carpet up or peal/scrape paint’’ my question is what about the mold that is all over the ceiling? Ground floor inspections made absolutely no notations of it! He says he is sympathetic to my situation that’s extremely laughable he could careless!!! Absolutely disgusting ? ?
