Jed - Was super thorough and professional on our chimney inspection, catching things that were not obvious and helping to prevent issues down the road. I would not hesitate to recommend JS Kelly Home Inspections going forward.
Excellent. Jed was very prompt and knowledgable.
Jed was fantastic. Very professional and thorough, as well as super friendly and explained everything. Would highly recommend!
Finding reliable contractors since moving to New Hampshire has been frustrating, many don’t even return calls. That’s why working with Jed at JS Chimney Services was such a great experience. I found Jed online after reading his excellent reviews when I needed a Level 2 chimney inspection due to an odor I believed was coming from the chimney. Since he focuses on inspections rather than repairs, I immediately felt comfortable knowing I’d get an honest, unbiased assessment. Jed has his cell number listed on his website, which made it incredibly easy to ask a quick question before booking. He responded promptly, scheduling was simple, and he was able to come out just a few days later. He completed a very thorough inspection and went above and beyond to help me figure out what was causing the issue. He sent the full inspection report the very next day and also recommended a repair company. Then he exceeded expectations again.. I opened my email to see that Jed had already reached out to the repair company himself, sending them my inspection report and requesting a repair quote for me, ON A SUNDAY! That level of customer service is rare. Jed is professional, responsive, honest, and genuinely cares about helping his customers. Highly recommend JS Chimney Services. Thank you, Jed!
Our home inspection experience with Jed was phenomenal. While the results of the inspection were mostly “repair or replace”, we left feeling very educated because of the time Jed took to walk-through everything with us in a calm and matter-of-fact way. The report Jed sent included helpful diagrams, an easy to read grading rubric, and detailed explanations. He was incredibly kind and patient with us a first-time home buyers, and of course very knowledgeable. We look forward to working with Jed again for a future home purchase.
