They are the lowest quality of inspection you can find. It was haphazardly rushed so the inspector could leave to meet up with his wife in NY that afternoon and we are paying the price. I have tried to work with the dishonest Mr. Male. He refuses to take any responsibility or offer any reasonable remed. He is also refusing to provide license #s. That in itself should tell you what type of business they run. They collect your money, show up and look around like it's an open house showing and then when there are issues they will deny all responsibility. Had they done a thorough inspection we would not be in this position. hell, if Mr Male could find a plumber capable of doing the repair he thinks is needed we would not be in this position.

Patrick was very responsive, knowledgeable and thorough. But mostly, he had a great demeanor. I've…read moreworked with home inspectors in the past and have found many to have a negative attitude or be disorganized. Patrick was a refreshing change with his patience, kindness and steady, balanced approach. Would definitely recommend him and his company for any homeowners that are nervous about their purchase and need somebody on their side!

We hired Coastal for our home inspection, as they were suggested to us (along with a few other…read moreoptions) by our realtor. We went with them because they were highly rated and you could schedule your inspection conveniently online. John was our home inspector and he was incredibly thorough. The home we are purchasing isn't old (built in 2001), but I wish we had known about Coastal and used them for our current home, which was built considerably earlier. John was so detailed in his report, I'd recommend him for any home inspection, but especially ones that are for older homes needing a keen eye and a fine-toothed comb. He called out everything and his report came color-coded with photos for references. He struck a good balance between being efficient (the whole inspection for a 3500 sq ft home took just about 3 hours) and being communicative with me. He showed me everything he felt was noteworthy. We're hoping that this is our forever home, but if we ever do move or buy a vacation property, I'll definitely work with Coastal again. Thanks John!

At the home, he spent 2 hours going over everything in great detail and answered any questions I had.

I highly recommend Rich to anyone looking for a home inspector.

Paul is truly an unique Home Inspector. He enjoys what does and it shows. He arrived thirty…read moreminutes prior to the scheduled time and had already been on the roof and taken pictures and thoroughly inspected the outside. He walked us through each part of the inspection and had very interesting questions, stories, and insightful explanations. The report was 90 pages! The home inspection report about my house was roughly 70 pages and the remaining 20 he provided instructional documents on how to maintain items and various product informational sheets. This is my second home purchase and I truly loved the inspection experience. Honestly speaking, I wondered about some of Paul's recommendations because he was so detailed and seemed very particular about certain items that I did not think they were critical issues. He was a true straight shooter and knowledgeable. Please take him seriously. He is really focused and insightful. At the end, his report helped us get $50,000 reduced from our original offer. He provided me a nice book about how to take care of my new home as well as was so responsive on phone and email. Overall, Paul Maida Inspection Service surpassed my expectation! Great experience! A true blessing for my family! We saved $50,0000 and now we can do all the issues he pointed out in his inspection report.

We are first time homebuyers, so I don't have much to compare…read morethis to, but: we both thought that Paul was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. We selected Paul from a long list of inspectors. He didn't have as many YELP reviews as some others, but his website convinced us that he was the right choice. (He teaches Home Inspection courses at UNH, and had more certifications than we could count!) Walking through the house with Paul, he had such a positive attitude and was so thorough and forthcoming with his observations, opinions, and education. In our experience, a lot of service professionals adopt a doom-n-gloom approach. With Paul, from start to finish, he felt honest and approachable. He takes pictures of everything. He explains as much (or as little) to you as you like. And he gives you a quick and detailed electronic report. He also didn't seem bothered by our parents and realtor in tow :) Most important: it seemed like Paul genuinely ENJOYS his job. And it shows in his work. Would highly recommend.

He knows more about the house than we do. After the inspection, we emailed him to ask more questions regarding the property and he answered all our questions with great details.

I highly recommend Jackson Home Inspection to anyone needing a home inspection service.

He was able to accommodate us on very short notice, was incredibly thorough, and took the time to walk through the entire house with us, explaining his findings and answering all of our questions. What impressed us most was his attention to detail. Alex identified numerous issues and maintenance items that gave us a much clearer understanding of the home, and I'm confident many of them would have been overlooked by other inspectors. His expertise, patience, and willingness to educate us throughout the process made a potentially stressful experience much easier. We would highly recommend JBS Home Inspections and Alex to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy home inspector!!

We hired him to inspect a…read moresingle family home for us, and he was responsive and highly professional -- but with a sense of humor. He arrived at the house before we did, and had filled out all of the necessary paperwork to get the inspection rolling the night before. The inspection itself was incredibly thorough, which was wonderful, because as we went through the house with Harold, it was clear that the house needed more work than we had thought when we made our offer. There were many problems (costly problems that also would have grown into health hazards) he pointed out to us -- but that had been concealed to the untrained eye. Harold emailed us an extremely detailed report later that night with pictures, and clear language and recommendations. We determined that we were not going to buy the house, and we have Harold to thank for helping us to avoid huge issues down the road. Back into the housing market now, which stinks -- but we will absolutely hire Mt. Vernon Inspection Associates when we find the next house!
