JIm first began the inspection by indicating areas that he would cover and those he could not, since the home still had furniture and other items in it. His first task was to inspect the exterior of the home, including climbing up on the roof to check the condition of all aspects of the roof, a/c unit, etc. He then went room-by-room, checking in detail all the plumbing and electrical, windows, etc. Periodically, he would share information regarding his findings; and he answered every question and concern that I raised. When he completed the 4 hour inspection, he explained his preliminary findings via a printed report. He emailed the final report which included photos, to me the next morning. I've had inspections done in California and Missouri; and admit that I have not had as detailed, thorough and professional home inspection done in either state. Jim approached the inspection as if it were a property that he was interested in purchasing; and in my opinion, that made his inspection more valuable to me as a prospective home owner. His preliminary and detailed reports gave me a starting point as to what needs to be repaired, fixed and/or delayed prior to moving in.
Description of Work: Jim Browning was very thorough and professional. He called to ask if he could come early- and he was punctual. He did the outside inspection first as it was very hot at the middle of the day. Then he went room by room, going through a list of items to check. This home was approximately 1,535 sq. ft; included two bedrooms with attached bathrooms; a living room (great room) with a half bath and a den; a big kitchen with dining room; a laundry room and a two car garage. He advised me periodically as to what he was doing and why; what items needed attention; and clearly knew what he was talking about. When I asked, he let me know that he had been in the repair & maintenance field for 25+ years, although in a commercial versus residential arena. That told me that he was well aware of the areas that needed to be checked, beyond just the focused training he had received several years earlier for residential properties. Once the 4 hour detailed inspection was complete, he printed out a preliminary report and went over it with me. The next morning, he emailed a detailed report, including photos, to me. This report will be the starting point for repairs that need to be done to the property prior to moving in.

They were good and believe that he went above and beyond. He told me things that needed to be done to the house. He caught something on the water heater that I didn't think that he had to. I thought that was good!
Description of Work: He did a home inspection for me.
