October 2021 I hired Maine Inspections to do an inspection of my 'hopefully' soon to be forever…read moreretirement home. Oliver game out and did what I thought at the time was a professional, in-depth inspection of the house. He was prompt, courteous and professional throughout the process, giving us some great insight and advice on issues with the property. I was so impressed that I wrote a 5 star review, something that I rarely do. Fast forward 3 months, during renovations, I am confronted with the news that we need an entire new roof. I had 3 separate roofing contractors look at it and give me their opinions and quotes for repair. All noted apparent water damage, missing flashing, screws sticking out and no roof ridge vent were visible from the ground and the driveway. All 3 felt that the roof issues should have been caught during the inspection. During the inspection the roof was never identified to me as an issue so I pulled out my inspection report and there was no mention of any roof damage or needing a replacement. The only mention was the need for yearly maintenance on the sealant around the chimney and flashing. I reached out to Maine Inspections to let them know what was happening and Oliver got right back to me and came out right away. He re-examined the roof and talked about condensation from the basement on some of the screws inside the attic. (This would not be the reason for water pouring into the attic and down the walls causing water damage on the rafters, the electrical panel to rust and black mold in the insulation of the attic and wall.) He stated that to get any sort of financial reimbursement, we would need to hire an attorney and go after their insurance company. If we had this information before we bought the house, we would have handled the transaction differently. We are now having to replace the roof at a cost of over $15,000. While I completely understand that anyone can make a mistake, especially with the number of homes that they are inspecting, what I cannot understand is not being held accountable and making things right for the customer. I have never heard from the owner of the company and the only concession that was offered was to me by Oliver was to sign a release and get my $700 inspection fee back. I am now having to get an attorney to try and recoup some of the loss that I have.

The inspectors, Aaron, Justin & a new employee whose name I don't recall, were prompt, courteous, answered all my numerous questions in great detail, & well-informed. The report is the most comprehensive one I have ever received. A few days after the inspection, Aaron answered even more questions & made me feel that I was his only client. Up-Country's comprehensive report helped me make informed decisions about buying this 1970s house. I highly recommend Up-Country & am grateful that I chose them to inspect my special home.

Thousands of dollars have already been spent just to address issues of major rot on the home's first floor exterior, rot that was obvious both by sight and touch. More money went into the roof, which had a rotting fascia. I was not present for the inspection but this was a clear case of professionalism trumping experience. Mrs. In-law was impressed with the inspector and his report at the time but is obviously very unhappy now.

We were scheduled to have our property re-painted in July 2020, but since we were out of State in…read moreMay, and in deference to the Covid Virus, the painter wanted to do the job during My in our absence. The over-all job was done very well. JWD did a very responsible job of repairing quite a bit of deteriorated wood, and the over-all paint job was very well done However I paid then in full when they said they were completed, big mistake. It is details that were not finished properly, such as: 1. Paint over spray on many windows, which JWD said were from a prior painting; several of those areas are on windows 100% renewed since the last job, 10 - 12 years ago. 2. Our white Chevy Suburban, which was in the garage, has a good amount of over spray on its rear end. 3. A sill on the bay window in the dining room, has started to deteriorate, JWD started a filler type repair, but left it entirely unfinished. 4. All of the shutters were re-hung, but never screwed back to the house to prevent them swinging in the wind. JWD and I have had several texts, e-mails, and phone conversations, and he has promised to come complete the job, but it is going on 3 months now, and no one has showed up.

Jeremy's team remodeled the entire downstairs on my home. I was hesitant to make these big changes…read morebecause remodels are not cheap. Jeremy worked with me to help us pick out materials that were affordable but still great quality and he worked with my budget all along the way. He really transformed my old split level into something I could be happy in again. Keep in mind we had not done any updates in about 20 years. I wish the pictures did this place justice because they do not. The crew overall was knowledgeable, professional and kept to themselves. I would highly recommend them and would hire them again for anything. 2 of my family members/friends have since hired them for exteriors. You can trust JWD Painting, which is always a big concern for homeowners and I had nothing but a smooth process from start to finish. There were touch-ups, but Jeremy came back and personally took care of them all.

Be cautious when relying on their "10 year no non-sense warranty". They replaced our roof in 2020,…read moreand we now have a leakage. Getting them to come out and inspect it has been impossible--multiple delays, shifting reasons (weather, scheduling, location), and periods of simply no response. After days of trying to resolve this, I mentioned I might need legal help if the issue wasn't addressed. The response I received was: "tell your lawyer to talk to mine." At this point, the main issue isn't just the leak--it's the lack of follow-through once the job is complete. A warranty should provide support when problems arise, and that hasn't been my experience. Draw your own conclusions.
