This guy goes above and beyond. Was sceptical about home inspection in this town but this guy was nothing but amazing. He takes you along the inspection with him and explains everything to you and the home owner. Thanks John!

Report
He shows up on time with the proper equipment. He will tell you exactly what he finds and shows you so that you can make an informed decision. If you have any questions or concerns you can easily ask him and he will tell you what he knows. I would highly recommend everyone buying a home to get a home inspection. If you can get John as you home inspector then you know if your home is structurally safe, and it will allow you to make the right decision to either continue your purchase or walk away.
