Mr. Hamner is friendly and professional. He inspected the house thoroughly.

We have bought and sold many houses, but this was our first condo. Pete was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Although we were out of state, Pete called during his inspection to go over several of the items, and even added a video of the HVAC blower operation to the inspection report! After over a dozen properties bought and sold (and at least as many inspectors), I put Pete at the top of the list of all the home inspectors we have experienced. We will definitely ask for him again for any of our future inspection needs.

James (who was using his other given name, Pete) did an excellent job in testing the electrical circuits and electrical outlets throughout the apartment as well as the various kitchen appliances. Pete also spent a good part of his time inspecting and testing the A/C and Heating systems which, it turns out, although recently installed (April 2017), are not running in accordance to the expected equipment specifications. What I appreciated most, as future owner, was Pete's patient and detailed explanations of testing procedures and results as he was going through the tests inside the apartment as well as outside (in the case of A/C compressor/condenser) . The detailed report he generated afterwards expands on and explains in detail all of this findings.

Pete did a very thorough job inspecting every inch of the house. He didn't skip over anything, nor assume that something 'was' or 'wasn't' right. Detailed pictures were taken of each issue and published in a detailed report. I was constantly asked if I had any questions or needed clarification on something. I will certainly recommend Home Scope to any future home buyers who need a home inspection.
