However, they missed the rotting windows in one room (A $3,000 repair) the improperly vented water heater (a carbon monoxide hazard for the main bedroom) and the bathroom fan that was vented into the attic. (technically up to code when the house was built, but it presents a mold hazard and should be vented outside.) Additionally, their recommended solution for all the issues they found was to "Contact a licensed professional." And while I agree that you should call a pro to do electrical or plumbing work, there are some things, like proper grading, that can easily be done by a homeowner. They could suggest something like "Add top soil to created a negative slope from the house for a minimum of 3 feet out" (or whatever the standard is.) So while they did a decent job with some things, I felt that they missed several important items, and they could have given more practical advice. I would not recommend them or use them the next time.

We genuinely believe he is one of the good guys out there and are very grateful for his quality approach and careful inspection of our home.

He has inspected the three different houses I have purchased in my lifetime (in 2002, 2007, and in 2014). He has also done inspections on a few other houses within those years and has saved me from some very large home repairs in a house that I would not have been able to afford not knowing it had termites or structural damage, or whether the electrical box and outlets are up to code (which were some of the findings that made me decide not to go through with the purchase). He is fantastic at walking through the entire house with you and showing you everything he finds that you should be aware of, not just the negatives either. He's great at telling you the pro's, con's, as well as the little things like - in a few years you might want to do this or that... or if you did this right away, it may help prevent this or that happening. He was more than happy to answer my many questions at each inspection, and at the end of the inspection provides a very detailed report with several pictures and his comments on areas that need work or that the homeowner should be aware of. He has no issues getting into crawl spaces or attics, searching for mold and mildew or evidence of leaks and things like that, or getting on top of the roof. Each house I have purchased, I have also gotten the Radon tests as well in my residential home inspections. His prices are reasonable and he's always been very professional and thorough. I would not purchase another home without contacting him first.

Plumbing, electrical, everything you could think of, he looked into. I would highly recommend Bob Mueller to inspect your next home. It was the smartest investment for the purchase of a new home.

Jim was friendly, professional, and humorous. He went above and beyond and I really got my money's worth. Jim had to return to the home to inspect the furnace since the seller had forgotten to turn the gas on for testing. Jim was concerned about the age and condition of the furnace during his initial visit so he brought a furnace expert with him upon his return. The furnace expert identified a few minor problems and worked with my wife and the seller to get these items fixed on the spot. Now that's service.

We've found several major issues not listed in our inspection report done by George McNees, including but not limited to a HOLE in the basement wall that goes all the way to the outside where a floor joist has completely rotted away, and a cross beam in the garage that the previous owners had Macgyver'd to stay up while part of it was also rotting away. The cross beam is so rickety that I fear for it breaking in half and crashing through the windshield of my car. On top of the major issues George didn't see, there have been several minor issues that are now my responsibility to deal with that, had I known, I would have pressured the seller to fix before purchasing. George was WAY too comfortable telling me as first time home buyer that these are just simple issues that aren't worth using as a bargaining chip in negotiations. I am livid with my experience. It was not worth the $473 I paid, now knowing I'll have to pay hundreds if not thousands of more dollars to fix things George McNees/JW didn't spot and/or lied to me about what should be my responsibility versus the seller's. Please, please, please stay away from this inspection company.
