Jbs Home Inspections

I recently used JBS inspections to come do an inspection of a house my husband and I are purchasing. Alex was very thorough, spending nearly 3 hours going over each floor of the house. I was particularly concerned about the state of the foundation and basement, and Alex spent a LOT of time in there pointing out things that should be fixed, what is a safety concern and what is not. His patience and friendliness during the whole process was an added bonus. He also presented me with a book on how to take care of our home at the end as well as emailed me a 90 page document that detailed what he found in the inspection. This inspection was so worth it — we presented some of the findings to the seller and we were able to negotiate down on price in order to afford to make repairs after we move in. I would highly recommend JBS Home Inspections!

I hired JBS to do a deep inspection on a new home we were interested in purchasing. The process was very well done and JBS did far more digging, crawling and poking around than I’ve seen other inspectors do. Little things like power/​ground testing every single interior/​exterior power outlet etc. etc.
They also get huge props for being «modern» relative to other old school firms — you get an actual PDF document complete with embedded pictures showing exactly what they are talking about. They were responsive to follow-​up questions about issues seen as well.
Based on our happiness with the report they did on the house we were buying I turned around and hired JBS a second time to do a «defensive» inspection of the house we were selling so that we’d have a heads-​up notice of anything potential buyers would be concerned with. The 2^nd report was just as good as the first but it was less formal and verbal only.

I purchased my first home and had it inspected by JBS Home Inspections. The inspector who came was super nice but I am disappointed that after moving into the home to discover that the windows didn’t work properly. She had inspected all the windows and did not find anything wrong with them but when I opened the windows for the first time, they didn’t close. Two other windows also weren’t sealed completely so there is condensation build up. These are major issues and I don’t know how to fix them since I live in a condo and will need to get work permits to block off the side walk, etc. It would have been nice to know before officially signing to papers.
