Mueller Services, Inc ???

[Thomas G. Valosin]

Has anyone out there had any experience with, or knowledge of, a firm called Mueller Services, Inc., 2350 N. Forest in Getzville, NY?
They contract insurance inspections for underwriters.
Their "recruiting department" contacted me. Said they found me on both InspectorSeek and HomeGauge sites.
Are they legit and honest, or shysters?
Disregarding the "advertising slick" they said on the phone and on their website, I wonder if they -
really do negotiate fees,
how flexible are they,
are their fees in line for what they want done,
what are their fee ranges,
do they compensate for travel distance and site time
how timely do they pay,
how user friendly is their reporting system,
do they really have work as they claim, or are they just building a list of inspectors for their own sales purposes?

Any answers or comments are appreciated.
Thanks

Let us know how they operate. By reading there website, it states that they are a home inspection company who is looking to hire inspectors, I don't know if they sub the work out.

An insurance inspection is not a traditional home inspection. The purpose of some is to calculate replacement costs, based on construction and square footage. Some require the inspector to produce an electronic drawing of the dwelling. Some inspectors are in-house, while many are sub-contractors.

I work for these guys. They do insurance inspections mostly for hazards. The pay is usually pretty low but the work is easy and if you get enough, its worthwhile.
They pay me about 20.00 for a close by exterior residential inspection, which involves pictures, a 1 page form and a sketch of footprint. Their forms are easy,learning the sketching program a bit harder.
I can do 20-30 of these a day and have gotten up to 100.00 for ones that are farther way. These are no appointments needed and they give you 14-21 days to do them.
They also do interior inspections which include looking at plumbing, heating and electrical. These ones take about a half hour and pay about 50.00
They also do hi value inspections which have more forms to fill out-pay is about 100.00.
They are usually very negotiable in their rates and easy to work for. I wish they had more in my area.
Hope this helps,
Jamie

I found the work not hard but too much for the money... but that is a personal opinion... you cannot lose by trying them out...

Mueller services is just another outfit that pays 'chump change' for doing their dirty work. You are expected to make cold calls to policy holders and set up an appointment to do an inspection. The only good thing is the limited experience you get.
