A year after inspection the missed items are mounting. First clue that this is the wrong service…read morewas having started the inspection at least a half hour w/o me. Clearly stated this was for informational as well as flaw detection. Biggest miss was the rotted floor under the 1/2 bath toilet. Cost to repair was $5k. Secondly, does not walk the roof or inspect the attic. Observation from ladder only. Missed nail pops and black mold in attic. Cost, close to another $5k. Missed proper venting of furnace and intake. Minor repair but missed something that a professional shouldn't. And missed decking not connected to house. Simple lag bolt recommendation was the cure but he missed. Missed that a well head should be 18" above grade. Missed GFCI testing and one by sink not operational. FIND SOMEONE ELSE and if your Realtor recommends Ed . . . Find a new Realtor.

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.

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.
