Do not use Housemaster! Jim did a home inspection in Jan/2018 on our house before we purchased it and he missed some very important and expensive items we now have to repair! I can only assume that Jim did ground level walk-around and didn't even go under the house! If he had he would have noticed that the vapor barrier needs to be replaced! As far as the walk-around: Jim missed several items that should have been on the report; broken front window, cracked concrete under roof support posts, several cracks in the foundation, failing water heater (yes, I just had to replace it) and worst of all missing siding that allows rain, snow, moisture, rodents and the like into the house structure. The list of items Jim missed keeps growing! We tried to avoid this very thing by having Jim do an inspection. We are very disappointed that we hired and paid out of our own pocket HouseMaster for this home inspection HouseMaster is total waste of money. I called Jim after we moved-in and he promised to "help" me fix the issues, but that's the last I heard from him. Good thing I didn't hold my breath. read more
