We hired Jesse to do a pre-listing home inspection. We wanted to know what needed to be done to our house before we listed it for sale and have the opportunity to address the issues immediately. Jesse arrived at the house in a timely manner. He was efficient, thorough and quick. He had his assistant with him. While Jesse did the actual inspection and took photos, his assistant was inside the house with the computer. As Jesse did the inspection, he used a radio to dictate to the assistant the results who then input it into the computer. This provided a quick and thorough inspection with nothing missed. Once the inspection was completed he went over his findings verbally and answered all our questions at that time. The report was received by us via e-mail with 48 hours. It was well documented with both his observations and legal information. It followed his verbal findings very closely and has been very helpful in our preparing the house for the market. I would not hesitate to use him again.

I highly recommend Jesse for his professionalism and patience. After completing a thorough inspection, he took the time to walk us through his findings and answer all our questions. Very knowledgeable. The report he promptly sends out is very thorough.
Description of Work: This was the 2nd time we used Jesse. Jesse inspected an approximately 3500 square foot home for us.

Jesse found many, many issues during the initial inspection as he was so thorough! Most people would have walked away from the home but with Jesse's comprehensive report, my mother chose to counter with most of his recommendations. Shockingly, the seller agreed to many of them and Jesse found himself back in her home for the first re-inspection. Again his thoroughness showed that the seller tried to cut many corners and Jesse outlined this, along with pictures, in his report with additional information included about codes and minimum requirements. The seller then fixed items according to the second inspection and Jesse was able to sign off on their work during the third inspection. Jesse and his team went over the home with a fine tooth comb and their report didn't miss a beat. It was outlined in a way that met the technical aspects of things but also in a manner that the average Joe could understand. He also took the time during the inspection to show us things and explain them in ways that made sense to us---things we may have overlooked, easily. His inspection reports also came in a very timely manner (most the same day) and contained all the right information, including pictures or reference material where needed. We wouldn't hesitate to use Jesse again and have already recommended his services to others who have had the same experience as us.
Description of Work: Over the course of my mother purchasing her house, Jesse completed 3 different home inspections.

The inspection was very thorough and found issues with the house that might have taken years to show-up after the purchase. His factual data and supporting photos helped me with my negotiations, and the detail in the re-inspection reports made sure I was able to communicate effectively with the seller. The initial inspection cost was competitive with the market place (about $425), but the subsequent re-inspections got spendy --- the expense was worth it, since I know exactly what & how the repairs were made on the house. Jesse and his assistant Matt, work efficiently and effectivley. Using a digital camera, a lap top, and cell phones the team moved through the house photographing and recording the issues as they found them. I had a preliminary verbal report of key issues before they left the appointment, and within a couple of hours had an electronic version of the full report in my hands to use in negotiations. They are organized, clean, knowledgable, and friendly. Jesse was able to answer all the questions I had about the house & his findings. After the seller made the requested repairs, Jesse was able to do the reinspection quickly so we could complete the sale.
Description of Work: Jesse did the initial inspection, and then subsequent re-inspections, on the house I recently purchased.

Overall I found Jesse to be very professional, low-keyed, and very informative. I don't think that he missed anything, and was quite willing to look at anything that I was concerned about. It was a very positive and beneficial experience for me and my wife. His report was exceptionally complete, specific, and clear. The charge for the inspection was reasonable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Description of Work: We contacted Jesse Longman of A-Pro Home Inspection Service as a result of his high rating on Angie's list. We asked him to perform a pre-sale home inspection. His office returned my call the same day as my message, which I left on a weekend. We set up an appointment. After one change of date due to a conflict, Jesse arrived promptly on the agreed-upon time and date. I explained that I wanted a "nit-pick" inspection to ensure that we would not be surprised when we put our home on the market. He went through the house and garage and looked at the heating, electrical, and plumbing systems. He looked at the attic and under-house crawlspaces, the roof, deck, and fences. I accompanied him and asked a lot of questions. He was extremely patient and answered all of my questions and those of my wife fully and completely. He was extremely knowledgeable on all the code requirements and made very helpful suggestions how I could address the problems that he identified. He E-mailed his full report the next morning. It was extremely complete, detailed, and very clear.

A-PRO is Great! I found this company on Angie's list. It had a ton of great reviews so I felt comfortable calling them. Don't believe the 1 negative review associated to the company. That lady never even had any services performed. Jessie was already at the home starting the inspection before i arrived (i was late). He was professional and very easy to understand. I walked through the entire home with him and he answered all of my questions. A few days later I had an question involving a water tank. I called A-Pro at 6pm and they were able to address my issue within minutes. They are very professional, prompt and knowledgable. If you are unsure of who to try....Try A-Pro!
Description of Work: I had a home inspection done by A-Pro. Jessie checked the roof, electrical, plumbing, appliences, siding, attic and everything else.

I really appreciate inspector's professionalism and knowledge. This likely saved us a lot of money in not having to do this project over again in a few months had the rats continued to gain access.
Description of Work: A-Pro inspector completed two separate inspections of work done by pest-abatement company in the crawlspace of our home. A-Pro found a number of additional access points for the rats that were missed by the primary repair company.

Jesse and his assistance showed up on the morning of the inspection on time and ready to work. They quickly turned to and began the inspection and started making notes. Jesse was very professional and very easy to talk to and work with. He also showed us where to find and operate the important items of the house, ie heater filters, fuses, water shut off, etc.. While the house was huge, he stayed and covered every square inch of the place. He quickly uncovered the reasons why I decided I didn't want to buy the place. I'm really glad he was there, I wouldn't want to buy a home without him. Jesse also agreed to take on this job on a very short notice and had a very detailed report ready the next morning.

I used this company twice. At the first inspection Jesse warned me that the roof and siding were shot and offered to cut the inspection short to save me money. So, of course, I chose A-Pro for the second house inspection. Jesse not only know what to look for, he also knows how to explain problem in plain English so everyone can understand what's what.
Description of Work: The inspector turned up on time and did a thorough job of inspecting the house from stem to stern [so to speak, as it isn't really a boat]. He looked at all the structural features and the utilities and showed me clearly what he found, both good and bad. He explained problems in clear English.

It was a very positive experience and I highly recommend A-Pro Inspection Services. The money invested in this service is well spent as it provides you with details and pictures of the problem areas, what needs to be done and by what type of contractor. Being proactive in maintenance of an older home is the key in preventing small issues from turning into a huge expensive ordeal.
Description of Work: Jesse performed a complete home inspection from roof to crawl space on a 27 year old home, with a suspected pest problem. He was thorough, professional and extremely customer service oriented from start to finish. Jesse and his assistant arrived on time, set up, explained the inspection process and got to work. I was amazed at how detail oriented the inspection was and everything it covered. The final report was delivered the next day. This is service at its best and should be recognized.

Tiffany was very helpful in setting up the appointment. Jesse, the inspector, along with his son/assistant were extremely professional and thorough in their inspection. They showed me how to operate and maintain the gas fireplace and heaters, pointed out the water and gas shutoffs, the sewer clean-out, etc. They also went over the potential repair or improvement projects that could be done on the house. They made great use of technology and I got the inspection report emailed to me within 24 hours. I was extremely satisfied!

Jesse and his wife Tiffany quickly fit us into their schedule. He went through the inspection report in detail and the pictures accompanying the report really helped identify any issues that needed correction.
Description of Work: Jesse was great to work with. He was very thorough. This was new construction and he called out some areas that needed to be corrected that we would not have found on our own. He also was detailed about telling us which things were built really well, or above code. I also appreciated all of the maintenance tips and things to be aware of. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone I know!

Use an independent inspector for a home you chooose to buy and choose a good inspector.. Jessie is at the top of his game. It reports are very comprehensive and detailed. He knows this buisness.
Description of Work: Jessie came out and did an inspection for a home we are considering buying. The past two homes I bought I used the inspector my real estate agent recommended. That was a mistake. I think the real estate agents use someone who will give a house a clean bill of health so they can get the sale. Both times I had major problems that he inspector did not find. Jessie found that there was structural issue with a beam in the garage. I am now asking to have this fixed before I purchase the house and have the fix signed off by a structural engineer. Jessie did an extremely comprehensive inspection and found many things. The house was not in as good of shape as I thought it was in. I can look over most ot items but want the structural and electrical items fixed before I buy this house. If not I guess I will be using Jessie for the next house I consider. Jessie - Thanks for the detailed and extensive inspection you did. Wayne

Before we purchased our home in Woodinville, WA, we had Jesse come out and inspect it for us. This is the second home we have had Jesse inspect for us and both times we have been completely pleased with his thoroughness, his professionalism and his knowledge. Jesse did a fabulous job inspecting the home. He took his time and meticulously went through the house and showed us all areas of concern. He answered our questions and recommended specialists when necessary. He sent us a very comprehensive report the next day so we had plenty of time to review it before getting back to the sellers. I would use Jesse again and would recommend him to all our friends and family. He gave a piece of mind and valuable insight as we purchased our new home. Thanks Jesse.

Always an excellent experience for my clients.
Description of Work: Jesse Longman has done the majority of the inspections for my clients over the past 6-7 years. He is professional, thorough, and very good at educating clients, which I consider to be important to my business. He will take the time necessary to help people understand the "workings" of a home and what possible resolutions they may have to problems that come up during the inspection process as well as providing information on future maintenance. His reports are thorough and also are accompanied by photos for clarity. I appreciate being able to recommend him with confidence.

Jesse is very professional, friendly and thorough. He was on-time for both inspections, worked earnestly while onsite, and verbally reported his findings at the end of the inspection as well as answering our questions. We would not hesitate to use Jesse again, and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: While purchasing a new home, we used Jesse twice for inspections of 3,000+ sf homes. Jesse performed complete house inspections from roof to crawlspace. On the first home he helped us understand a number of water related issues, and the likely cost range to fix. We ended up withdrawing our offer and used him again after finding another home. We were present at both inspections to observe his work. His reports are complete and well organized and clearly highlight important versus routine issues.

Jessie came out and did an absolutely thorough job with an impressively detailed report provided within hours (on Father's Day!). He was very accommodating as we needed an inspection done right away due to fast approaching deadlines. We really appreciated that he also took his time explain to us what the areas of concern are and even prioritized for us what we should worry about the most. This was done on-site. The report that he sent us later on that evening was very comprehensive and easy to understand. It included a nice summary in the beginning of the issues with remediation again with prioritization. Then in the remainder of the report there are detailed findings with pictures showing the deficiencies. I will definitely use him again, and I HIGHLY recommend his services.

Jesse is a fantastic home inspector. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone, including my closest friend -- or my mom. He is very knowlegeable, thorough, detailed and personable. Jesse inspected three homes for me between February & May 2011. These homes ranged from a big-time fixer-upper with significant structural and mold issues, to a move-in ready developer home. Jesse's knowledge and approach has been a perfect fit for each unique situation. I consider myself a savvy & knowledgable home buyer, and I have good knowledge of construction, home improvement and general contracting. I'm not afraid of a project, but I want to know what I'm getting in to. The first home Jesse inspected for us had significant issues, and he was instrumental in diagnosing the scope of the project. Jesse found much more wrong with the home -- in much more detail, and perspective -- than the previous inspection revealed. I am demanding of a home inspector, and insist on following them around asking tons of questions. Jesse was completely supportive of this, and seemed to appreciate my involvement & interest. He was patient and detailed in his answers, practical in his recommendations, and always careful to put issues into perspective. This was the case with each of the three homes Jesse has inspected for me. His official reports have been 50+ pages, while also very organized, detailed, and actionable. Jesse is knowledgable in his craft as a home inspector: the best I've ever worked with. He is also clearly a very good person: the kind of person I like to do business with.
Description of Work: Jesse has performed three very thorough home inspections for me -- each on very different homes, from the big-time fixer-upper to the nearly new.

I have recommended this company to many clients and everyone who have used Jesse have had a great experience. He is knowledgable, punctual, does not overlook anything, he is incredibly throrough and best of all Jesse spends the time with my clients to answer any questions they might have and introduces them to every aspect of their new home. He is never too busy for the new buyer to walk around with him. He crawls into any space imaginable and is very honest and upfront about any potential problems. I trust his judgement. Tiffany, who coordinates the inspection, goes out of her way to accomodate schedules and is very professional. Overall a continued great experience with this company.

Jesse was extremely professional and thorough. He brought an associate who sat at the dining room table throughout the entire inspection taking notes into a laptop that Jesse broadcast through his radio from the roof, crawlspace, exterior and interior. From the first phone call to his followup advice via email Jesse was easy to communicate with, respectful and helpful. Highly recommend.
