John Watson arrived right on time. He told us what he was going to do and then went right to work. He was very thorough.. He inspected the house for about three and a half hours. At the end, he showed us pictures of some things that needed attention. We received the inspection report 48 hours later. It was very clear, stating whether something was serviceable, should be reviewed, or needed repaired. He called me back promptly when I needed additional clarification on an item on the report.
Description of Work: Home inspection, radon test, and wood-destroying insect test.

Tom was wonderful. Very professional and very informative. He took the time to explain what he was looking for, what he was seeing, what he was doing, and answered all of our questions. The inspection took over 3 hours but Tom went over the entire house from roof to flooring. We feel that we now know so much about our new home. Within 48 hours of the inspection, we had our written report and the termite report e-mailed to us. We are very happy with Tom and his service.

I felt that he was deceptive. He did not go & check the attic at all because "he couldn't find the opening" & didn't think to ask the owners, who were home at the time. After every electrical check, throughout his report, his end comment for each item (i.e. electrical, plumbing, etc.) was "I'm not an electrician, seek the services of a electrician." The gas overflow to the water heater was completely rusty & filled with holes, & when it was pointed out that somebody could have gotten carbon monoxide poisoning & died, he stated, "I wasn't concerned because you hadn't bought the house yet". Meanwhile, 2 other people were living there & were not notified either.
Description of Work: He came to inspect our home while we were purchasing it.

AMOUNT PAID WAS $255 PER PROPERTY AND EACH INCLUDED A $20 ANGIE'S LIST DISCOUNT. TOM NEWKIRK DID A WONDERFUL JOB. FOLLOWING INSPECTION ON FIRST PROPERTY, I DECIDED NOT TO PURCHASE CONDO. TOM WAS ABLE TO SCHEDULE INSPECTION FOR SECOND UNIT ON SHORT NOTICE DUE TO TIGHT TIME FRAME. HE WAS VERY THOROUGH AT BOTH PROPERTIES. HE EXPLAINED IN LAYMAN'S TERMS EACH ITEM HE FOUND. HE WAS PLEASANT AND PERSONABLE AS WELL. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TOM NEWKIRK TO ANYONE NEEDING HOME INSPECTIONS.

TOM WAS VERY THOROUGH WITH HIS INSPECTION AND PROVIDED A LOT OF INFORMATION ON WHAT HE FOUND, BOTH IMPORTANT AND FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. WAS VERY PUNCTUAL, PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. HE ALSO CALLED ME BACK WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY, AND TOM, FOR FUTURE INSPECTION NEEDS. WE CHECKED 4 OTHER COMPANIES AND HE HAD THE BEST PRICE FOR DOING BOTH INSPECTIONS.

TOM WAS VERY PERSONABLE AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A LITTLE LATE HE CALLED TO LET US KNOW WHERE HE WAS AND WHEN HE WOULD GET THERE. HIS INSPECTION WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH. HE TOOK HIS TIME AND EXPLAINED THINGS TO US AS HE WENT. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH HOME INSPECTIONS BEFORE, BUT THOUGHT THIS ONE WAS RATED OUR BEST FOR PRICE, THOROUGHNESS, AND A NICE FRIENDLY PERSONALITY. WE DID NOT ALWAYS GET THE ANSWERS WE HAD HOPED FOR, BUT THAT IS WHY WE HIRED HIM.
