We are first time home buyers and have freuqnelt felt overwhelmed and underinformed through thhis…read morehome buying process. We put in an offer on a home and before we knew it were taking the next stpes towards owning a home. Our first step after signing was to have a home inspection done. Our realtor recommened Len and we agreed. He arrived promptyl, greeted us and gave us a qucik run down of what he was going to do. He invited us to follow him arround as closely as we want and to ask as many questions as we want. He already arranged for the radon air tests to have been and collected them at the time of inspection. Len walked through the upstairs, checking out closets, wall, electric outlets and more. He used a heat sensing camera to determine how well the house held heat and to check the insulation. He even climbed into the attic, with the ladder he brough, to see how thick the insulation was. He has a full box of tools to get the job done. He checked water pressure and temperture. He inspected and tested all of the appliances. He did the same for the woodstove and pellet stove. He then combed through the basmen including the boiler, furnace, hot water heater and flooring. He explained in detail all the things he was loooking at. He walked through the garage and the exterior, inspecting the stairs, decks, doors and hot tub. A day later we recieved his report. It included ltows of pictures, an easy to understand and well detailed guide of everything he found. He even made a suggestion for more thorough inspection of the roof. He was so easy to work with and his expertise in his field is eaasily evident. His price is slighlty higher than average but was well worth the extensive work he did. I would definately recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent inspector.

When they went under contract on a house in York, Maine, they said they wanted Main Choice to do the inspection because they were so thorough with the house they sold. Inspection completed last week and my buyer clients were pleased with the professionalism of Josh throughout the inspection and then his detailed report. I would highly recommend Main Choice Inspections for any of your building, septic,radon test needs.

We had Blue Lobster perform the inspection of our potential new house back in April, and we ended…read moreup buying it! It's a little hard to tell the exact quality of the inspection until we've lived here for a few years, but it's been over 6 months now and it seems like Blue Lobster was spot on about everything they looked at. We felt they were incredibly thorough (even calling out things like some mold on the underside of the refrigerator water dispenser) and also didn't make us feel too scared about the things that they did find that were not up to snuff. We got a solid picture about the house, and a great, thorough report, that we were also able to give directly to our insurance provider so they could see what they were insuring. Every contact was friendly and professional, and no complaints at all!

$1M+ house. The inspection report I received was a boilerplate one. The few problems that were…read moredisclosed were explained as "very minor" and not needing attention. In the weeks that I've owned the house I have discovered the oven does not work, has likely never worked, and the warranty ran out a month before I bought the house. The electrical lighting in the kitchen does not work. The thermostat on the 2nd floor does not work. The heating in the 2nd floor bathroom is not effective. These are basic issues. They should have been identified, reported, and the Seller should have been asked to fix them as standard procedure in the contract. Inspect Maine walks away without any accountability, and I am stuck with the thousand dollar bills, in addition to a $40k new septic system and a $30K house painting project. It goes without saying that this was a disappointing experience, and that I cannot recommend this company.
