Jamie was a fantastic home inspector. I chose him because of his reviews on this site which a month ago was 10 stars out of 50+ reviews. His website is professional and has all his credentials available so you know his background. He was very professional and arrived an hour early to inspect the roof and exterior of the home. When I arrived he walked me around the exterior to show what he had found so far. Once inside he examined every square inch of the place and thoroughly explained what he was doing and what he found. I paid for the full meal deal including thermal imaging, negative pressure to find air movement via thermal imaging and drain scoping. He advised me a few hours into the inspection the draft test was unnecessary because it was an older home with older windows and he could tell there would be drafting air coming in. He said the negative air system was used more for home that has had new windows and doors put in to make sure they are sealed properly. His honesty saved me $100. Jamie walked me through the entire report which was easy to read and follow with pictures. The information was then broken down in replace/replace and maintain so you knew what items needed to be fixed first to avoid damage. Using his home inspection I called many contractors to get quotes to fix the repair/replace and it totaled to $30 000 before I got inside the home (2 roofs, driveway, basement window wells and windows, grading, furance). Jamie gave me the information I needed to walk away from a money pit. I then called him 4 days later for another home inspection on a newer home and have since bought the house. He was amazing on both occasions and I highly recommend his services to anyone buying a house.
