+ 0 moreJim was extraordinarily professional and knowledgeable. My wife and I were first time home buyers, and Jim took the time to describe every aspect of the home to us and answered any questions that we had. He has a wealth of knowledge, and had a few good stories to tell as well. The inspection was very thorough, taking almost four hours. When the inspection was complete, Jim quickly provided us with an extensive (24 page) report on the condition of the home. Jim's work did not end there, however. Unfortunately, Jim's inspection revealed a few major concerns with the home. After we had specialists come to look at the issues (electrician and a roofer), we emailed Jim their write-ups and he freely offered further insight into the issues and his thoughts on what should be done. We were able to use Jim's knowledge to get a credit for some of the needed repairs, but more importantly he gave us full confidence that we wouldn't get hit with any costly surprises once we moved into the home. I would recommend Jim Gibb without reservation.
Description of Work: Jim Gibb performed the structural inspection and radon test for our first home purchase.

home inspection
+ -1 moreHome inspection for the purchase of our second home. Jim significantly surpassed my expectations. Jim was clearly very knowledgable, and was more than happy to talk me through everything he was looking at (I am an engineer by trade so I was asking a lot of questions). The inspection took about 3 hours and there was no down time between areas of the house. I am extremely confident in the house we are purchasing thanks to Jim, he pointed out a few things that should be done, but assured us that none of them were major issues. I would absolutely use Jim again (though I am hoping not to have to move again any time soon).
Description of Work: Extremely knowledgable and thorough.

Description of Work: We called pro spec based on reviews from Angie's list after a few referrals were not available around memorial day weekend when we needed the inspection done. We were nervous but it worked out great from the start - Margaret in the office took all our info and gave us a full run down of what to expect. On inspection day, Jim was on time, and took his time, pointing out things that could be repaired easily by us, and calling attention to a few more serious items. He also did a pest inspection that I think was an extra 50-60 but required for us. I think it cost a total of $380 or 90. He spent 3.5 hours with us, went bottom to top, and has a ton of knowledge about homes in the Albany area (sounded like he'd seen it all!). We left feeling much more knowledgeable about our future home, and with the ability to have some informed conversations with the realtor/lawyer about the few items of more significance. | |Note that a home inspection does not include a chimney inspection. We have requested one separately (the sellers are taking of it for us). I would recommend a chimney inspection be done as part of the inspection process for any home with a fireplace. Our friends gave us this advice after a home they purchased needed a few thousand in chimney repairs to make it operable.

home inspection
+ -1 moreJim Gibb was extremely thorough and professional. As first time home buyers we know very little about the different aspects of a home. Jim was exceptionally knowledgeable and informative, explaining every little detail. He was willing to answer any quesitons we had. The inspection write-up was 19 pages outlining everything he had showed and discussed with us. We will surely use this as a reference for years to come. We would recommend Jim to anyone needing an inspection, particularly first time home buyers.
Description of Work: Jim Gibb, Owner/Inspector performed an inspection on the two-family home in Albany that we are in the process of purchasing. He performed a Radon test and general inspection.
