This is my first home purchase and despite being a condo, I still wanted a home inspection so that I may be aware of any issues before moving in.
Tom was *very* thorough, pointing out many things I hadn't looked at, or even considered looking at. I peppered him with *numerous* questions, but he was very patient and kind in answering them all, and is also more than happy answer any additional questions I might have after moving in. Also I was quite impressed at how promptly and thorough his report was (provided on the same day); so if you wanted an inspection before making a quick offer, I'd certainly recommend him. In addition, the thermal-imaging gave an additional level of reassurance/assessment, that I was quite happy with.
All in all he gave me a lot of reassurance in the purchase that I had made while still pointing out things I may need to monitor/pay attention to. I would certainly recommend him to anyone else that may need a home inspector in the future.
