After living in my home for less than a month and having family members in and out to see the…read moreplace, I can say with confidence that JW Home Inspection Services of West MI are HORRIBLE!! 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.

The level of quality and service that Ink Home Services provided to use was amazing. Danny's inspection was thorough, balanced and calm. He pointed out things almost any other inspector would have missed and spent extra time, to ensure that he investigated a potential termite problem. Finally, the report that Danny produced was by far the most readable, and informative I have ever seen. Do not even think about using someone else for your inspection.

I first met Jim Comrie at the home I was purchasing. He was prompt and got right to work. He…read morestarted his inspection by explaining the inspection process and asked about my goals concerning home repairs and improvement. Jim used the information I provided to give me valuable suggestions and advice throughout the inspection. Jim was very thorough and took his time to do the inspection right. 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.

He meticulously evaluated each aspect of our home and provided us with a 20 page report detailing what he found. He takes pictures of everything and references them in the report so you always know exactly what he's talking about, and he gives recommendations on how to approach any problems. I feel much more confident about the purchase of my home after talking with Jim.

He handled all of the scheduling with the seller's agent, arrived on time, and completed his work in about 2.5 hours. His recommendations and report allowed us to make a case for a few thousand dollar reduction in our home price! He also helped me prioritize which repairs to focus on during our first few months of home ownership. I would definitely recommend Thom at NPI to anyone buying a house in GR.

Many doctors visits later, still no answers…read more On July 15 I called my neighbor who does mold mitigation and he came over and told me my crawl space was full of mold. My bedroom is directly over the crawlspace. Maybe that would explain why I felt like I got hit by a truck every morning I would wake up. He recommended Foundation Specialist to install a vapor barrier for me and I called them the same day. Cody from Foundation Specialist came out to he very next day and he gave me a quote. It was several thousand dollars less than what I anticipated. Unfortunately, they could not do the work until August 24. If you've ever encountered mold, once you know you have it, it's a very unsettling feeling. He told me he since it was causing me health issues, he would do his best to get to it on a rainy day since it would only take one day. I moved out of home temporarily and on July 25, Andrew came in and did the mold mitigation. On July 31, I got a call from Jason and he said a crew of guys was looking for some extra hours and could they come the next day and install the vapor barrier? I immediately said yes. This morning 4 young men arrived looking sleepy (as was I) but ready to work. They got right to it. My house is 90 years old and made of solid concrete. It was a space probably no taller than 3 feet. Nick, Drew, Tony and Dame were very efficient and worked well together. They took the time to show me the vapor barrier and dehumidifier and answer questions. I didn't like where the drain hose was so they quickly rerouted it for me. They were friendly and I really appreciated them for coming out in a Saturday. I can't thank them enough. It was not an easy job. Whatever they get paid, it's not enough. Thank you Foundation Specialist for helping an old lady out. You really took a lot of worry from me. Thank you Cody, Jason, Dame, Nick, Tony and Drew for making my job a priority. Will definitely recommend your company.

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.

He was knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions about the home and findings. He also inspected the home I purchased in 2007, was happy to crawl underneath the deck into a small space, crawls up in attics, gets on top of the roof, examined both homes TOP TO BOTTOM. 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.

He definitely was the most expensive inspector that we found, but the binder with the report had so much more than what anyone else was offering: a maintenance checklist for the changes in season (which as a first time homeowner is great!), home remodel estimates, and a few good record keeping items. I would definitely recommend Pillar to Post to anyone-first time buyers: really it's worth the investment to get the report on site, get the checklist, and have someone who really takes their time with the inspection. It took very near to the three hours: he wasn't exaggerating!!
