Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Below are the actions of Timmy Reeder after I filed a complaint against him and filed a claim in court. Timmy owns Horizon a*s. and Building Performance Solutions in Crandon, Wi. He is a member of ESA as well as InterNACHI, IACQ2, and many more.

I contacted Joe Lyons at ESA to file a complaint. He will not do anything. It appears that Joe Lyons believes that the actions of Timmy are perfectly acceptable. In fact he even contacted the people at HADD in an effort to harass me. This has nothing to do with HADD, and as you will see, this is the same type of thing that member Timmy did. Is that the type of training you receive from ESA?

Timmy was simply hired to do some tests for my own information. He repeatedly claims that I intended to use his reports in arbitration against the builder. The arbitration was held on June 26th and Timmy was there, with the builder, and the builder has seen my supposedly confidential report.

1. Called my 76 year old mom at her home in IL at least 2 times. The first time he left a message. He then called her back at 7:30am the next morning, woke her up, and proceeded to yell at her before slamming the phone down and hanging up on her. She called me in tears and feared for my safety. He may have had his wife or another female call my mom again and when my mom asked who was calling, the caller replied, "the Darien Police Dept" and hung up. My mom lives in Darien, IL. We have subpoenaed the phone company for the blocked number. My mom has absolutely nothing to do with this. He has her phone number because years ago he used to cut our grass. He was much better at that and I hope he still has his lawn mower.

2. After I received the tearful call from my mom, I called Reeder and told him to never call my mom again. He hung up.

3. He then went to the Forest County Wi. Sheriffs Dept. and filed a complaint against me claiming harassing phone calls. He also claimed that the reason he called my mom was because I was refusing to pay him for the work. Lie number 1. I paid him before he left my home and have filed a suit in small claims to recover my money. Copies of this were sent to the WECC.

4. He then goes to the Vilas County Sheriff and files another complaint. In this one he now claims I am an ex employee and that I was harassing him through phone calls. What about his claim in Forest County that I did not pay him? Lie 2. Copies sent to the WECC.

5. I filed a claim in small claims court and at the mediation he now claims that he did what I hired him to do. Lie 3. Up until this point I assumed he was simply lying in his reports since he is friends with the people that built our house and he thought I was going to use them in arbitration. Now I found out that he never did what he was hired to do.

6. In his responses to the other complaints I filed, he simply accuses me of lying, calls me names, and makes many other untrue accusations in an effort to make himself appear legit. He also has sent along copies of his 2 false complaints with the Sheriff, and has even included another false complaint filed by a woman I don't even know. This woman has absolutely NOTHING to do with Reeder and myself. Her complaint was about a completely different matter, but this didn't stop Reeder. Slander and/or defamation of character. Sent to WECC

7. I am the Wi. representative for Home Owners Against Deficient Dwellings (HADD). Reeder created a fake email and contacted me through HADD's web site. The HADD secretary forwarded his fake email to me and asked me if I could help. After emailing the fake email address, I realized what was going on and did some checking to confirm this email was in deed from Reeder. It was. Lie 4 or is that 5? There are so many I lost count.

8. Reeder informed the builder that he did some testing for me and their lawyers have sent at least 3 letters to my attorney asking about them. In addition, Reeder showed up to our arbitration with the builder on their behalf. The builder has copies of our confidential report. This clearly violates every organizations code of ethics.

9. At the St Germain, Wi. town board meeting they mention my lawsuit against Reeder. This has absolutely nothing to do with the town, but somehow Reeder has once again made my confidential reports and service very public.

Below is an email I recieved from David Nice. Davey is president of WiNACHI, the Wisconsin Chapter of InterNACHI. He is now also a member of Environmental Solutions a*s's. (ESA) This is in response to my efforts to warn people about the actions of there member, Timmy Reeder and to try to get them to take action. These organizations make statements about how qualified there members are and about how they are required to adhere to a strict code of ethics. Both are false statements. Just look at the actions of Timmy.

  1. I am going to recommend that ESA check with members to see if you are sending others these slanderous emails and sue you.
  2. You must be a drunk or some kind of moron to never let this go.
  3. If the inspector you are unhappy with has gone unpunished for what you claim he did (or did not do) it is your own d**n fault.
  4. Stop spamming me with your BS! all further communications will be forwarded to Spam Cop who will in turn report you to AOL.

This isn't an ESA ripoff!

I don't know either Daniel or Timothy and although I did receive my mold testing certification through ESA I haven't had enough dealings with them to form any definite impression of the company so I have no axe to grind here. I will say that my experiences to date with ESA have been positive and that this is the only complaint against them I've seen.

That being said, as a home inspector here in Illinois and having run several other successful businesses I know that word of mouth is the single most important advertising medium for any business. This report really bothered me and I feel compelled to say something.

I've read Daniel's Ripoff Report several times and I still don't see how ESA played any part in Timothy's (alleged) actions. No school providing training or certifications can be held responsible for the actions of anyone who's simply taken a class through them; it's not right to adversely affect their reputation like this. I am not dismissing Daniel's concerns in any way - but why not be fair and keep this as a business disagreement concerning only the people directly involved?

I hope the two of you can come to a peaceful resolution; a professional mediator might be a good idea.

And I sincerely hope this site is monitored and that if nothing else the original subject is changed so that this personal feud doesn't show up whenever someone does an Internet search for ESA; that's just wrong.

This is an email I recieved from Timmy after I failed to show up in court. Just wanted all members and staff of ESA to know that I had my day in court with Mr. Schuler earlier today after a month and a half of waiting after he postponed. The coward did not even have the courtesy to show up and attempt to defend his ranting. Case dismissed in my favor. Just goes to show that you can complain all you want but when the devil in the details comes out, those who are honest and reputable are ultimately vindicated. Timothy M.
