I highly recommend Jeff with Prospective Home Inspections. I contracted his services multiple times for two houses and he was thorough with each, gave great education, … read more and was friendly and professional. With each inspection, you receive a detailed report with in-depth breakdown of each area.
I was there for the inspections and he made sure to explain what he was looking for, any issues he saw, and gave recommendations on how they could be fixed. He also told me what to look out for in the future and general home maintenance. I was a first-time homebuyer and had a lot of questions; he was patient and explained the answers in an easy to understand way.
Jeff identified mold in first house I was under contract on. When we came back out to check if it was professionally remediated, he was able to spot that it wasn’t done correctly. I appreciated how detailed he was with the inspection.
I’d confidently recommend Prospective Home Inspections to family and friends!
