Used Jim based on retailer referral for a Lionshead property. Jim was a nice guy and prompt but not thorough or competent. Several joists in the basement were notched at the bottom and some cut straight through, when I look back at his report there is no mention of this however a few are caught in photos of electrical and other things he photographed. Contract said appx 2 hr inspection, he was done in an hour. Did not look in the attic nor did he try all the exterior doors. No grounded wiring in the house (not noted in the report although a $5 tester allowed me to verify this after the fact. A sliding glass door does not operate property due to rotted frame. Far too many things overlooked to believe he is at all good at his job. perhaps he has lost the drive for service. VERY SAD and disappointing

Jim is a very pleasant guy but not competent in his services. He inspected a house for me in SGB prior to closing the deal. He failed to notice a large bay window that had condensation forming due to a leaking seal. He also did not notice the bubbling on the stucco of the exterior wall. When I pointed the water damage at the bottom of the cabinet work and asked him if it was due from a basement flood, he said "there is no evidence of flooding in the basement". After closing the deal, my finished basement was FLOODED. The restoration company showed me many areas that were patched up due to previous flooding and my new neighbours also told me about several previous floods. I would definitely not use his services in the future.
