He's quick to respond and quick to get the report back to you same day. We are very happy we chose him as our home inspector! read less

I needed an inspection done within 48 hours. He was prompt(actually early), knowledgeable and courteous. He went through every detail with me. I even got my report the same night. I can’t say enough positive things. I will recommend him to anyone I know buying a home. read less

For reference, my husband and I purchased a house in Central New Jersey on August 16, 2021. Before that, I was trying to buy a house in Mendham, but I got inspected by Jim Inspector and the contract to buy the house was canceled (June 30th).

In particular, we were able to cancel the contract without penalty because we found some very serious structural problems and other problems that were not discovered before in the position of purchasing the house for the first time. The inspection report we received was between 150 and 200 pages (we were inspected twice, and that's it both times), but the inspection report that my husband's co-worker received from another inspector was around 50 pages (despite the fact that the house was in poor condition). ), you can see how much effort Jim Inspector puts into writing the report. Most of all, I was very grateful to you for coming and inspecting us from anywhere in New Jersey, from east to west, to north, south, and from early in the morning, and then sent us a report before 12 noon that night. It may be different depending on the inspection, but you said that you try to send the basic report as much as possible on the same day. As far as I know, the normal inspection time is usually around 2 hours, but Jim Inspector did it for 3 to 4 hours.
As a former police officer, he is meticulous in everything he does and explains things in an easy-to-understand manner even for those who do not know much about architecture. If the roof is in an area/weather where the drone can fly, the drone will take a picture of the roof and notify you of any problems. And from the attic to the crawl space, they take a close look at everything. When you come out of the attic, you come out with dust and cobwebs all over your body, and I felt sorry for everything. He looked at the house with such meticulous attention to detail as if he was looking at the house he was going to buy. He even said it was the rule.
According to my acquaintance who majored in civil engineering, the report is very sincere. A very good inspector.

By the way, if you are going to be inspected, be sure to go home and see what the problem is at the time of the inspection. There is a difference between seeing a picture and hearing and examining the problem with your own eyes. Be sure to go and see it with your own eyes and hear what the problem is.

Yes, you have to communicate in English. When I was doing the inspection, I tried to listen to each one without missing a thing by sticking next to it, and I even helped a little to make it easier during the inspection. Thank you very much.
I hope you are in good health for a long time. I want to do the next house purchase with Inspector Jim. We will try to fix the concerns you have about the house we bought this time as we live until we move in. Thank you again.

전부터 리뷰를 작성해야지 하면서도 하우스 헌팅부터 최근에 하우스를 구매함과 동시에 정신없이 바빠서 이제서야 작성합니다.
참고로 저희 부부는 2021년 8월 16일에 중부 뉴저지에 있는 하우스를 구매했습니다. 그 전에 멘드햄(Mendham)에 집을 구매하려다가 Jim 인스펙터님께 인스펙션을 받고 하우스 구매 계약을 파기한 적이 있습니다(6월 30일).

특히 처음 하우스를 구매하는 입장에서 미처 발견하지 못한 아주 심각한 구조적 문제 및 여러 문제들을 발견해 주셔서 패널티 없이 계약을 파기할 수 있었습니다. 저희가 받은 인스펙션 보고서가 150~200페이지 사이였는데(두 번 인스펙션을 받았는데 두 번 다 그 정도였습니다), 남편의 직장 동료가 다른 인스펙터로부터 받은 50페이지 내외인 인스펙션 보고서(하우스 상태가 안 좋음에도 불구하고)를 보면 Jim 인스펙터님께서 얼마나 많은 공을 들여 보고서를 작성해 주시는지 알 수 있었습니다. 무엇보다도 뉴저지 안이면 동서남북 어디든지 오셔서 인스펙션을 해 주시고 아침 일찍부터 인스펙션을 해 주신 뒤, 그날 밤 12시 전까지 보고서를 보내주시니 너무나도 감사했습니다. 검사에 따라 다를 수도 있지만 기본 보고서는 최대한 당일에 보내주시려고 노력하신다고 하셨습니다. 제가 알기로 보통 인스펙션 시간이 보통 2시간 내외인 걸로 아는데 Jim 인스펙터님은 3~4시간 동안 해 주셨어요.
전직 경찰관이셔서 그런지 모든 일에 철두철미하시고 건축에 관해 잘 모르는 사람들도 충분히 이해할 수 있도록 쉽게 설명해 주십니다. 지붕은 드론을 띄울 수 있는 지역/날씨이면 드론으로 지붕을 촬영하셔서 문제점을 알려 주십니다. 그리고 다락부터 크롤 스페이스까지 모두 다 꼼꼼히 살펴봐 주십니다. 다락에서 나오실 때 온몸에 먼지 및 거미줄을 가득 달고 나오시는데 제가 다 죄송스러울 정도였습니다. 얼마나 꼼꼼하게 집을 봐 주시는지 마치 자신이 구매할 집을 보시는 것처럼 봐 주셨습니다. 그게 철칙이라고 하시기도 했고요.
토목 공학을 전공한 제 지인의 말에 의하면 보고서가 참 정성스럽다고 합니다. 아주 좋은 인스펙터라고요.

참고로, 인스펙션을 받으실 분들은 꼭 인스펙션할 때 집에 가셔서 같이 보고 뭐가 문제인지 꼭 같이 확인하세요. 사진으로 보는 것과 눈으로 직접 문제가 뭔지 듣고 살펴보는 것은 천지차이입니다. 꼭 직접 가서 두 눈으로 확인하시고 문제가 뭔지 들으세요.

참, 소통은 영어로 소통하셔야 합니다. 저는 인스펙션 하실 때 옆에 붙어서 하나하나 놓치지 않고 들으려고 했고 인스펙션하실 때 편하게 하시라고 좀 도와드리기도 하고 그랬습니다. 무척 고마워하시더라고요.
꼭 오래오래 건강하셨으면 좋겠습니다. 다음 집 구매도 Jim 인스펙터님과 꼭 함께 하고 싶거든요. 이번에 구매한 집에 대해서 우려해 주신 부분들은 이사 가기 전까지 살아가면서 잘 고쳐나가 보도록 하겠습니다. 다시 한 번 감사드립니다.

At first, I was disappointed that it was going to be raining on my scheduled inspection day. However it was a blessing in disguise. Jim arrived early and walked in the rain for an hour and a half taking pictures and showing us the exterior of the house and property. He showed us areas of puddling and water damage/penetration areas from the rain. He even found a small creek area behind the house that we discovered were wetlands. He completely saved me from getting a property that could have caused a lot of headaches in the future and had a high risk of flooding. He definitely was a very honest and trustworthy inspector and he had my best interest in mind. He was very meticulous in his inspection and did not miss any small detail! I was very impressed at his dedication and love for his job. His price for inspection was slightly higher then other inspectors, but it was well worth it because he saved me from buying a house that could have cost me a lot more money down the road. Jim was also a great communicator and always responded texts and phone calls promptly!! He keeps his word and gets you the inspection report on time and is always there to help with any questions you may have. Since it was raining, Jim even went back a second day for me and flew his drone for me so that I could have a roof inspection report!!! No other inspector would have cared to do that, but Jim knew I had roof concerns and took time out of to come back a 2nd day for me!! I highly recommend Jim to anyone trying to buy a house!!!!! read less

Jim was there early checking the roof with his drone and performed an incredibly thorough, detailed inspection. We are first time home buyers and he explained each thing he was looking at to us. Jim found issues we had missed in and around the house and found substantial water issues after crawling into the roof space. We ended up passing on the house and we have Jim to thank for saving us from all the issues the house would have entailed if we bought it. His report is detailed but in plain language so it’s easy for everyone involved to understand. The experience was great start to finish and we’ll absolutely be contacting Jim again once we find another house. read less

After interviewing everyone and comparing cost, we ended up choosing Jim. His google reviews are spot on, and he totally deserves his 5 star rating. During my initial call with Jim, he was very upfront and honest. Explained clearly what he would do and what I should expect. We did a full inspection with termite, radon, and sewer scope. I also wanted the mold testing done, as I know I would need to furnish lab results if I wanted the Seller to abate any present mold. However, he respectfully explained to me that we should do a visual mold inspection first, and then decide after the report if the mold testing was really necessary. Not only did Jim offered me a great quote, I actually ended up saving on the mold service. The property I had planned on buying was a very unique property. Due to it basically being two homes on one lot, he dedicated one whole day to inspect both houses (4,200 sq ft) with detached multiple garages. Jim got there on time and started his work right away. He inspected the homes as if he was buying it himself. He was very thorough and he didn’t mind me following him around like his shadow, asking away any questions I may have. Jim made sure I was aware of his findings and basically walked me through the whole inspection. He promised I would get the reports if not on the same night, then the next morning. We needed to respond to the sellers as time was of the essence, and Jim kept his word. He basically pulled an all-nighter and I got the reports the same night and into the early morning, enough time to review and make an informed decision. One report was 318 pages, and the other was 155 pages, not including the sewer, termite, and radon reports. Very detailed, very easy to read, totally worth it. Jim even answered my call on the weekend while he was on his boat fishing. I didn’t want to bother him, but he listened to my concerns and truly helped guide me on my decision. I worked with other inspectors before, and I highly recommend Jim. I haven’t found my home yet in this volatile market, but when I do find one, he will be the guy I am calling. read less
