Jake is the best!! Honest and reliable!
My wife and I have purchased about 5 homes in various states over the years. Each time we hired a home inspector. They all did a great job, but Jake from Home Town Inspection Services was by far the best I ever worked with. His knowledge was incredible. He took time to explain things in terms I could understand so we could evaluate the importance of his findings. He really knew his business and he DEFINITELY knew about houses. He's also a real nice guy which is why I took the time to write a review lol. I will be recommending him to anyone I know who needs similar services.
Very informative, very professional, and a very kind individual to work with. Give it six stars!
If I could Jake and Home Town Inspection Services 100 stars I would. Before the initial inspection Jake took the time to text me to answer any pre questions I had, and took the time to understand my concerns. From the moment we arrived at the inspection Jake explained every detail of how the hone inspection would be done, was completely open to feedback, and took the time to educate. The inspection itself was done thoroughly, honestly, and I personally learned a lot as Jake has expert level knowledge about construction. The post report was detailed completed with images, recommendations, and thoroughly written assessment. To make a king story short, my father used to be a landlord and said that this was the best home inspection he has ever seen. I highly recommend Home Town Inspection Services. They made me much more comfortable in a very big decision in my life.
Jake was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and has your best interest in mind. I would definitely use his services again.
