I cannot recommend Michael Atwell and J May Home Inspections Inc highly enough! Michael was…read moreprofessional, punctual (he arrived early just to get a jump on the exterior inspection), and is clearly passionate about doing the job right. What truly set him apart was his incredible thoroughness and attention to detail. He examined every inch of the property -- from the roof to the foundation -- and didn't miss a single thing. He took his time and was incredibly meticulous, which gave us complete confidence that we had a full and honest picture of the home. Michael also has a real gift for communication. He walked us through every finding in plain language, making sure we understood exactly what we were looking at and what it meant for us as buyers. He never made us feel rushed and was happy to answer every question we had. If you're buying a home and want an inspector you can truly trust, look no further than Michael Atwell at J May Home Inspections Inc. He made a stressful process feel manageable and gave us total peace of mind. Worth every penny!

Mike Atwell of J May Home Inspection recently inspected my new condo. He was extremely helpful from…read moreour first phone conversation and throughout the inspection. He was very punctual and spent three hours looking closely at every feature of my home. He did not rush, answered my questions and patiently explained how many of the systems and features work. He sent me a detailed, preliminary report within 24 hours, and quickly followed up with a final report by US mail. My realtor said she had never seen such a comprehensive inspection report. Mr. Atwell is a consummate professional, with more than 20 years' experience as a home inspector, building consultant, teacher, former president and VP and active board member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. He is committed to educating and protecting consumers and is driving legislation to do so. Ask him about it! I highly recommend J May Home Inspection.

Inspection was very thorough with a detailed report and pictures of the breakdown to follow. At the end time was taken to explain all of his findings and an honest assessment of each point was given.

Both my agent and the sellers were very impressed with how professional and thorough John was during the inspection. Will be recommending WAVE inspection services to my friends/family in the future.

I learned so much about the place that I'm trying to buy--what it needs right away (not much thank goodness), what's good about it (a lot, thank goodness), what would be good to address at some point that's not urgent.... He explained what kind of person to hire for the various jobs when the time comes--pointing, radiators, windows, etc.--and how to tell whether they were doing the job well. It was fascinating and fun to watch him work and learn about the unfamiliar systems and technology. I feel completely at peace with my decision to go forward, and I feel knowledgeable about things I knew nothing about. And his fee was very reasonable. Jim said I was welcome to call him if I have any questions at all. Which I might. I am pleased and grateful.

I'm probably setting the women's movement back a few years by admitting this, but as a single…read morewoman, the prospect of homeownership is completely terrifying to me. I can barely change a lightbulb, and for years I put off buying because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of knowing how to fix things. But then I fell in love with a house, and everything changed. My realtor had set up a home inspection with another company, but when I looked them up, I saw tons of negative reviews. I figured that this would possibly be the most important investment I could make; I am not equipped to deal with a house that has lots of hidden issues. After seeing all the positive reviews for this company, I switched over. I could not be more pleased that I did. Dana explained everything in great detail and in language I could understand, and he went through the house with a fine-toothed comb. This home is a renovation, and everything is brand new, so my realtor expected us to be done with the inspection fairly quickly. Dana spent more time than he had to, explaining things to me, telling me about things I'd need to think of in the future regarding owning a home, and taking pictures of everything so that I have a record of where things are and what they do. Working with him allieviated all of my fears around us missing something that would end up becoming a huge expense to me. I felt like I had a favorite uncle looking out for me and making sure that he was giving me the guidance I needed in a process that is totally unfamiliar and kind of scary. I plan to be in my new home for a long time, but if I ever do decide to go through this process again, he will absolutely be the one I hire as an inspector!

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.

I have referred the services of Paul Cornell & Associates as trusted and reliable home inspectors…read morefor over the last 2 decades. Specifically, inspector Scott Molander, who through his constant professionalism, calm demeanor, and impressive knowledge of all building components and systems has helped to educate and make crystal clear to both my buyers and sellers alike what the physical plant condition of the property is, at a specific moment in time. Scott is so dedicated to his craft. I have observed him while conducting numerous thorough and detailed inspections, explaining in great detail to his clients, each component or building item, along the way. For buyers, his ability to explain systems, proper care, and maintenance is invaluable. It is as though he helps buyers better understand the life expectancy of each component, what they need to calendar for future service calls, and most importantly, how to make sense and prioritize what might need immediate versus long time budgeting, repair or replacement. For Seller's, he has been instrumental in identifying critical safety items that they may not be aware of that pose health or safety issues so they can be addressed right away. As a respected realtor for over 32 years, I have worked with and provided top-level service to many trusted and valued clients, first-time buyer's, investors, luxury homes, and down-sizers. I trust Scott Molander to provide that same level of service to my clients and would not hesitate, even for a moment, to refer him to my buyer clients. He is a consummate professional. As a homeowner myself, I found Scott's wisdom and knowledge helped guide me through my own personal home inspection, (which was pretty scary) when making what has been one of the largest investments in my life. Simply said, there are few inspectors out there, who take the time and have the passion Scott Molander has to make certain his clients are educated on everything physical about the property they may be trying to purchase while at the same time, provides clear and factual information so that all parties are knowledgeable about what to anticipate for in the future.

First, let me say that we did not actually use them for the inspection. I had conversations with…read moreoffice staff that were perfectly helpful and informative. However, their price to do the inspection was $2,000 (yes, two THOUSAND dollars) more expensive than any other inspector I contacted! That certainly earns a 1 star rating from me. I'm sure they are great at what they do -- but that price was simply not even close to being competitive. The home we are interested in purchasing is huge, very expensive, and we need an extremely high quality inspector. We contacted several different inspectors and talked about the complexity of the inspection we would need. Most bids were in the $1200 - $2000 range, and Paul Cornell was going to charge $4,000. All of the inspectors could see the MLS listing of the property, pictures, etc., so we were sure they understood this was a BIG project. I certainly hope we don't regret our decision to go with another inspector, but I feel we did our homework to find the qualities in both the reporting and the inspecting we need, and are paying a lot for an inspection, but not $4000.
