John was an absolute pleasure to work with. He showed up 10 minutes earlier than his appointment time, was very thorough on his inspection (including pointing things out to me that he did not need to check). John spent about an hour or so going through the house and I followed him through the whole time. When we would come across an issue he would explain to me why it was an issue, possible problems both short term and long term that it could create. He also explained me why certain things were done in the house (possibly to save money, etc.). He also pointed out the areas that the builder went above and beyond. Overall I was vey impressed with John's knowledge, ability to explain things to someone who does not have a lot of experience in building and his ability to make the whole experience very enjoyable. John also had a full report back to us by the end of the day. I would refer john to anyone looking for an inspector! read more

John Mease Home Inspections - Home Inspectors Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

If I could give greater than a 5-star rating I absolutely would! John is fantastic to work with, very polite and fun, but when it comes to knowledge I would be shocked if there is anyone better. While most of what others have shared about John is spot on, there is one comment previously made that in my opinion sums John up very nicely - - he is a walking encyclopedia. He knows his stuff and is as thorough as thorough can be. I have already hired John again for another job! read more

What do you do when the realtor says the house is "Move-in ready and recently renovated"? Call John Mease...immediately. I just avoided a money pit and quite literally a sinkhole! He researched the property before inspection and promptly sent the report when promised. John is extremely ethical (yep, there was an issue with another party). However, he was definitely dedicated to going over every detail of the house. Needless to say, I highly recommend John. I can't say enough great things about the thorough inspection and professional, friendly service I received from John. Since I'm still looking for a house, we'll absolutely do business with him again!! read more

Initially I was hesitant to hire an inspector because my realtor, but after reading over Mr. Mease's report I am SO glad that I did. His findings, while minor will save me a headache or two and a ton of money in the long run. Mr. Mease was incredibly personable and a lot of fun to work with. He provides a wealth of information and truly enjoys what he does (he's an engineer, and started inspecting homes/architecture as a hobby in 5th grade)! I highly recommend using John Mease for your home inspection needs. He's fast, friendly, and proficient. read more

John is incredible! I have worked with him on 3 homes so far and every time he has delivered a very thorough report along with pictures and details explaining exactly what is wrong with the specific finding/issue. I recommend John Mease to everyone that asks me if I know anyone. You will not regret hiring John for your home inspection! In fact, he will save you time and money in the long run!! 100% money well spent!! I just don't know how he even gets down in those crawl spaces and makes sense of the problems that may be lurking...... read more

I highly recommend John!!! I'm so excited to purchase my first home. John encouraged me to come to my home inspection, I didn't want to be in the way as I don't know much about building codes and inspections! John was kind enough to point things out to me and made sure I understood why certain materials were used and certain short cuts were taken. The inspection was a little over an hour. He taught me so much, he is very knowledgable and a kind person. John really has his clients best interest at heart. I also received my detailed report the same day! Wow! It was a joy working with John and I look forward to my final inspection! :) - Chiana read more

After reading reviews I went with John instead of a coworker's recommendation and I couldn't be happier that I did! He knows building and fire code by heart. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about all things home. He looked at a tree branch leaning on the house and told me that probably meant woodland creatures were in the attic and sure enough he was right. He estimated the age of the roof correctly. He noticed tiny chips in the sink exposing cast iron which makes the sink unsanitary. His report included pictures and recommendations for how to proceed. HE MISSED NOTHING. If you need your home inspected don't give your money to anyone else. For the same money you pay someone else, you could get John. read more

John has a great personality, and reassures you that you are the customer! He is very thorough and explains the inspection process as we went through it. He was prompt to get me the report, and was on time! read more

The best. He is extremely through, explains everything in great detail, and provides a very quick turnaround on a detailed report. If something isn't right he'll find it. If you want the best, John is the right person. read more

Great inspector, very thorough. As a result of his inspection, I was able to request fixes that the seller agreed to. We will be asking him you observe the fixes once they are done. Very happy with his service, even my real estate agent complemented how complete he was. I leave out of town and I was very dependent on professional help. His review made me comfortable with buying the house, if his suggested fixes were made. read more

At first, we were beyond pleased to have found John while looking for a home inspector. The fact that his services included a stucco inspection made us extremely happy since buying a house was already becoming so costly. Although John was extremely nice and arrived promptly, he only took an hour and a half to do the home inspection. I have personally never heard of a home inspection taking less than 3 hours, but that is simply my opinion. Right after moving into the home, my fiancée, 5 week old daughter, and I all became rather sick. When finishing up putting some new siding on our house, we found massive amounts of black mold. After that was taken care of and removed, we have been feeling much better. Our number one concern about buying a home was if it had mold, seeing as how I am extremely sensitive and become very sick if exposed to it. We specifically kept asking him if the house had mold. In short, he responded with "every single house will have mold spores, but I don't see any major mold problems". He says to have used an ultrasonic moisture meter and IR thermometer on all parts of the house. Maybe if we had spent the extra money to have an inspection done by someone who performed infrared thermography that can more clearly identify moisture damage that causes mold, we would not have had this problem. Next time, we won't be cheap about something so serious. Although I do believe John is a good and honest person, I wish he had taken more time to inspect our 1,600 sq ft, 3 level home. If he had found the mold, we never would have purchased this house and would have been saved a lot of stress and money. Aside from not finding the mold, he did provide us with a very detailed and thorough report that evening of the other issues he did find which the seller ended up fixing. If you wish to have a brief and reasonably priced inspection followed by a detailed report, John is your guy. If you are wanting an extremely thorough inspection with the best, upgraded technology, I politely suggest looking elsewhere. Overall, John was as great guy, but not thorough enough for us. *****Note: my four-star review is based on the amount of time he took during the inspection and our overall feelings during the inspection. I am not placing the blame of the mold on John. I am simply saying that I wish the technology was more advanced so that we never encountered these issues. If we were ever buying a brand new home that had no risk of having mold, I would definitely use John again. He did find all of the issues that the house had that weren't up to code, and also found a few key electrical issues that were thankfully fixed. In the end, he probably saved us much more money than the mold repairs ended up costing us. read more

John is very punctual and thorough in his inspection. He takes time to check out everything and place it in his report. We have been through purchase of a number of homes and condos but not seen anyone do a job as thorough as what John does. He welcomes questions during the inspection and also afterwards. We had seen something from the outside at the property we were purchasing and John went out a second time without charging extra to look at what we were worried about. If I had to get another property inspected, I would use none other than John. We recommend him without any hesitation. read more

In searching for our first home, my agent suggested using John Mease for his thoroughness and attention to detail. John has done a few inspections for us and allowed us to follow him around in which we learned a lot. We have been please with his professionalism, expertise and promptness. He's always helpful in answering questions and delivers his report promptly. If you need an inspection, don't hesitate in using John, you won't be disappointed. read more

Very professional, well certified and personable. Arrived 10 mins early and took time going through and educating about all concerns and maintenance. His report was sent over a few hrs after the inspection which is extremely timely. I have heard about other major companies with delay on this, and reports with multiple pages of "fluff". All his certifications are up to current and he is a wealth of knowledge in field. I even called him a week after with questions about a repair the seller was being difficult about, and he was able to help with the additional information I needed right away. His price is very reasonable as well $375 on slab or $425 with a crawl space. read more

John did a pre-drywall and final walkthrough on my new home. John was easy to work with and flexible in scheduling. His reports were complete and emailed to me quickly. He did a good job of educating me during the walkthrough and found issues in the house that I never would have spotted. John also answered questions after the inspection was complete, as they came up. I'd recommend him! read more

John Mease thank you so much for all you did to save us from buying a property that looked fine to the untrained eye, and later like a nightmare when we started looking closer at the home with you. We fell in love with the house without looking closely at it, so easy to do. We ran away from that money pit. When we found another property, we knew you were the best from our previous experience, so we called on you again and you noted it was a much better condition, and low maintenance. Thank you John for doing 2 great inspections, and then being there for us when we had issues with the sellers not doing a necessary repair you had identified. Our daughter will be buying her first home soon, so we will be calling you again :) that's for sure. thank you so much John.To anyone looking for a home inspector, John is a walking knowledgebase - he is extremely smart yet very, very down to earth. read more

John Mease is by far the best home inspector I have ever worked with. He was thorough, patient, and really just a wealth of knowledge. He took the time to walk us through the single item inspection, showed us what was done wrong, how it should have been done and answered any and all question we had. He even found a few things that we need to address that are not part of the problem he was there to inspect. I really can't say enough about how happy I am with John, I would recommend him to anyone any day. read more

I used John for 2 separate home inspections while I was house hunting. On the first house, he saved me from a nightmare by finding several major issues. On the second house I think he angered the seller because of the issues that he found that we later made them fix. This was exactly what I was looking for from a home inspector. He made sure to point out all of the issues that he came across. I highly recommend John and have already referred a couple of my friends to him. read more

We hired John to inspect a new construction home that we are purchasing in Fairburn. John was on time, professional, and had a great personality (he kept us laughing while pointing out all of the important things we needed to look out for). He also did a great job of explaining things we were not clear on. We received his report the same afternoon.It was thorough and easy to understand. The small fee was definitely worth the peace of mind that he has given us. I HIGHLY recommend him for any home inspection needs you may have. read more

I was extremely pleased to work with John. Rather than a full home inspection, I called to address a specific area of concern. He was very quick to respond and very knowledgeable about our situation. His explanation was very clear and easy to follow, and he truly had our interest at heart. I was very impressed with his honesty and desire to to be helpful. I was very impressed with the experience. read more

John has done two home inspections for me. The first was a real eye-opener. It saved my Wife and I from owning a money-pit with $30K in hidden issues needing repair. Best money I've spent in quite a while. read more

John Mease has inspected two homes for us and two for my family as well. I have seen other inspectors reports with long detailed summaries and pretty pictures but no substance. With John, you won't get that. You will get a report that has actual substance over style with major issues identified that other inspectors may pass over. John is very thorough but really focuses on structural, electronic, and issues he knows will cost money short and long term. For me, this is the most important part of an inspection. He does also now use infrared camera to check for any moisture or leaks. John has a structural engineering background and I like that he explains the problems to you and also talks through the potential impact without being an alarmist. In summary, if you just want a pretty report that talks about the scratch they found on the cabinets with pictures, John is not your guy. But if you want an inspector who really focuses on issues that could make your home a money pit, with a summary report of those issues plus the minor ones than John is the man. I would highly recommend him. read more

I am an out of state investor. John has done a great job in helping me to invest the property. He doesn't have a lot bullshit like others, but got the job done. His report helped me to negotiate with seller. I will recommend John as your inspector, especially when you are more concerned about large charge. read more

John helped us do an inspection on a condo. He is very knowledgeable, patiently answers all questions from a prospective buyer and provides recommendations/tips on how to maintain household items such as appliances, HVAC, etc. His report was comprehensive and the seller agreed to fix major items identified in John's report. I would recommend John if you are looking for a home inspector. read more
