JMR Inspections

Fantastic, thorough, very professional, helpful inspectors who knew what they were doing. Bonus that they were really nice people.

Probably the most thorough inspection one could ask for. Dan arrived a few minutes before the appt, and walked me through the process. His partner, Grant and he split up; one tackling the inside, and the other starting on the outside. Towards the conclusion, they brought me around to show some areas that needed attention, and then made some personal suggestions on what they would do if this was their house. Just great guys, who made the process so much easier, and completely stress-free. Setting the process up was a breeze. Their website is extremely easy to navigate, and very functional. After booking online, I received a couple of emails, and a courtesy call, confirming the appointment, and letting me know what the process would be like. A funny aside - my late dad had a horseshoe hanging in his wood shop. One of the inspectors buried a comment (with photo) in the sixty-plus page report, citing folklore on how horseshoes ward off bad things. I can’t recommend them enough!

I highly recommend JMR for your home inspections. They are very professional and thorough. From start to finish the entire process was quite easy. They have the industry experience and expertise that is needed in the field.

JMR inspections was wonderful to work with. Very knowledgeable and explained everything I asked about. The report came that evening and was thorough and easy to understand. I highly recommend them!

Service personnel arrive promptly, were very friendly and were very informative as they performed a very thorough inspection. The amount of detail they provided was excellent, and provides us with confidence that the major (an many minor) items of interest are as expected, or - if something was not- we are now aware of any issues and can base our decision to move forward with knowledge.

John and Grant were wonderful to work with. They were friendly, respectful, thorough, and clear communicators. They provided above-and-beyond service!

Very thorough and knowledgeable have worked with 3-4 home inspectors this was the best I have used.

Excellent. He was thorough, communicated well, included a beautiful report with photos, and responded to questions afterwards.

Excellent, thorough, courteous, prompt at the site and the report with delivered very quickly. Pleasant to work with, offered in person discussion of issues and answered all my questions.

John was punctual, cheerful, knowledgeable (most importantly,) and a good communicator. Final inspection report captured items needing immediate attention but also will serve as a "to do list" going forward for things that would be helpful to attend to in our new home. We chose to add a radon test to the inspection which added ca. $130 to the total cost.

The inspection report was very detailed and included photographs and suggestions for me to submit to the seller. As part of their ongoing service, they send clients a monthly email with suggested maintenance tasks which is very informative and contains links to other online help. Since November, I have emailed Mr. Rodkey twice with questions and he has responded with helpful advice within 24 hours. I highly recommend JMR Inspections

JMR Inspections is the best in the area. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking to buy a house! Very professional and significantly exceeded our expectations. Thanks John!

Very clear report, great explanations as we went. Chose not to purchase as a result of the report. Very happy I didn’t jump into a money pit.

An ideal experience and result. My realtor recommended John Rodkey, even (half-jokingly) warning me that I should find a different inspector if I was the type of person who didn't want to know about every possible little issue in my new home. But I do want to know, and the 35 page report John delivered (sooner than expected) has an incredibly detailed list of all the things I'll want to do to improve the place and keep it in good shape. The complexity of the info is a good mix; there are technical details that I'm sure will mean something to the pros I hire, but it goes on to explain things in a way that's understandable and useful to a layperson like me. John was clear about everything, obviously expert in his field, accommodating to my specific needs, super friendly, and generous with the time he took to go over a report summary over the phone. But the defining characteristic of his service is that he was THOROUGH. His team was similarly fantastic in all the phone and email communications before and after the service. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.

Very thorough inspection. Left no questions unanswered. Very professional.

Professional and polite. Created a welcoming tone for the entire inspection. Pointed out lots of great points and didn’t mind getting dirty. Thorough and concise. Written report was neatly laid out for review after the fact. Would definitely hire again!

Chris was already at the house when I arrived at the appointed time. He explained the process and as we proceeded with the inspection he patiently and thoroughly described any issues he encountered. We were joined by John, the owner of the company, who performed some specific inspections and also provided thorough explanations. We were also joined by Rocky who JMR contracted to do the pest inspection. The inspection was thorough. Some of the tests required a few days to process, but I received most of the results the following day and the full results in 2 days. The reports were delivered in PDF files that were well organized, thorough and easy to understand. Overall I'm very pleased with their professionalism and diligence.

We needed a complete home inspection, including radon, mold and wood-destroying insects. The JMR team was professional, courteous and thorough. This review would be straight As had we not found a few flaws in the report, perhaps because it came back within 24 hours. We would hire JMR again with no hesitation.

Very thorough evaluation of all parts of the house. Detailed report with photos. Our inspector, Chris, answered all questions during the process. His report helped guide our house buying experience, but will also be a guide to help us keep the house in good repair, and to avoid unnecessary damage/expenses in the future.

JMR inspected a home we made an offer on, and literally everything about the process was better than I could ever hope for. Their scheduling was easy, the website and sample report helped me know exactly what to expect, and I felt safe not being able to travel to the house because of the very detailed report that showed up that evening! And then they were nice enough to talk over the important parts and humor my ideas and bad jokes. My only regret is that I don't have a time machine so I could pay them to do my last home's inspection. They also scheduled a third-party termite inspection at the same time, and... if you've already read this much, you're the kind of person who will love the detailed report, so call them right now.

John inspected a home we're intending to purchase. And did an amazing job. He was professional, incredibly detailed, and took his time to show us and explain to us what he was seeing and contextualise his thoughts. His report was incredibly detailed and gives us, as the new home owners, a detailed task-list of what we can do to improve our new home. I wish all services were provided by people like John!

This is our second time going with JMR Inspections. They are an incredibly friendly, responsive, and thorough group. Couldn’t be happier!

John, of JMR Inspections, was very thorough when he inspected the condo that we intend to purchase. He explained his observations as he conducted the inspection in a way that was clear and easy to understand. His report, delivered within 24 hours, was complete and he included photos for our reference. Working with JMR Inspections was a pleasure from start to finish.

I am a Realtor and owner of Delap Real Estate in Northampton, MA. John is top of my list to recommend to my buyer clients. He is incredibly thorough-- he doesn't miss a thing-- and he explains home systems and structures in a way that my buyers understand. His reports are detailed and clear, and he includes photos of issues, as well as points of interest, such as the home's water shut-off valve. His reports are an asset to homeowners for years to come, and, of course, to my buyer's negotiations!

John and an associate (Chris Helmen) did a very thorough inspection of all aspects of the house and its various systems, explaining what they were finding as they proceeded. They were professional, friendly, and efficient. Their final report was extensive and very helpful, identifying those items that should be tended to quickly, as well as suggested but not critical improvements. Working with them was very enjoyable and instructive. We would definitely recommend again. (They also arranged with a separate company--for separate payment-- for a wood destroying insect inspection that took place at the same time.)
