We were extremely satisfied with the service we received today for our 1st-time home inspection. The home inspection would have been the most stressful part of our home buying process as a 1st time home buyer without Jim's guidance & explanation. We would definitely recommend him to our friends & families without hesitation.

Jim did a great job with my condo inspection. He found a few safety-related issues I would have not discovered on my own. Also, really appreciate the report list download of items to follow up on after I move in. I would definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking for a home inspection.
- R.W., November 2019
Jim,
It truly was a pleasure and it would be foolish of me not to recommend you to anyone in need of a home inspector. In my opinion you went above and beyond from general comments regarding the home as well as suggestions for upkeep and "watch outs" in the future.
Thanks again.

Jim - It was great meeting you and I appreciate your thorough inspection of our soon-to-be home! We are hoping to have many of the items addressed by the sellers, but if we are tasked with repairing some of these items, we'd love to utilize your handyman services as well. Thanks again!

I am grateful for his work, and look forward to reaching out to him in the near future.

- L.S., November 2017
Thanks for a thorough inspection!
- L.N., October 2017
Jim was recommended by my realtor and by my son, who engaged Jim for a similar inspection last year. Jim arrived early to survey the exterior of the property - a six-story condo bldg. Inside, he was very thorough and talked me through every point of inspection. He clearly identified points of major concern to be addressed by the seller, as well as minor issues we, as buyers, might want to remedy upon possession. He also made us aware of a potential issue, based on equipment age, that me may have to address within the next 12-18 months. Jim is personable, yet very professional, and delivered a detailed inspection report before the end of the day. The report clearly identified every item discussed during the inspection.
- M.D., August 2017
Very thorough and able to translate information into understandable terminology. I would absolutely hire Jim again.
- K.R., July 2017
James is very respectful of home as he is inspecting it. He does a very thorough job and provides good tips and suggestions in regards to things he finds during the inspection.
- R.Z., June 2017
Jim is very thorough and detailed. The home inspection report came back without delay.
- S.E., June 2017
Very detailed and explained everything. Made us feel like we know what we are getting!
- S.B., June 2017
Jim was incredibly thorough and helpful. My realtor said that many inspectors won't climb up into the attic through the little opening in a bedroom closet ceiling, but Jim did and came back with photos and some important suggestions. He helped to sort out the really important issues from the smaller ones, and is totally honest. Definitely a great inspector!
- E.M., May 2017
TOP RATING/ LOOK NO FURTHER. WOULD HIRE AGAIN. THANKS JIM - JAMES MCCORRY
- J.M., May 2017
Having had the pleasure of working with Jim extensively in the past, we already knew how thorough, professional, and knowledgeable he is. So we were really pleased that he was available to conduct the inspection of our new home recently. Jim took the time not only to thoroughly investigate each aspect of the home's various appliances and systems but also to explain them and their current condition to us in terms we could easily understand as laypeople. Once again, we appreciated his ability to give us perspective on what might need to be repaired now or in the near future, and help us understand how to maintain the new home's appliances and systems going forward. I would give anyone my enthusiastic recommendation to hire Jim Clark and TrueBlue Inspections. His expertise and insights are top-notch.
- J.M., May 2017
Jim was absolutely fabulous! He was professional and courteous, yet personal and vested in doing a good job for me. I felt very comfortable with his methods and really appreciated being walked thru everything after his inspection was complete. He gave me the confidence to know I was investing in a property that was well maintained! His report was thorough and easy to understand. Very, very, very happy customer!
- L.S., April 2017
Jim was great! Thorough, pleasant, and took the time to explain things like how to replace the furnace filter & where the shut-off valve/kill switch are located, which is valuable knowledge for a first-time home-buyer like me. Additionally, he was happy to look at common elements & turned the report around in an exceptionally fast period of time, which allowed me to keep the process going with my attorney.
- R.P., March 2017
Jim was very friendly, thorough, and prompt. He took time to explain his comments and recommendations as well as the basics of home maintenance (we're first time buyers). Small details, like offering his tape measure and dancing along with our daughter made what could be a potentially anxious situation very comfortable. I was extremely impressed that he got our report to us same day, considering the inspection itself was scheduled for late in the day. I definitely recommend Jim and plan to use him again!
- K.F., March 2017
Jim:
I appreciate your insight and the time you took to explain all aspects of the inspection.

- M.D., February 2017
Jim was very thorough with his inspection. He explained every problem he saw and recommended how to fix it. Being a first-time home buyer, it was very helpful to have him point out where all the shut off valves for water and gas were as well. I learned a lot about the house because of Jim!
- J.D., February 2017

James Is through and listens with out dismissing the clients questions as too petty or insubstantial. He bundles services and is able to provide convenience if a buyer also wants radon, mold, or other inspection services. I love his software program complete with photos that address all issues and can be adjusted to make a clear concise "punch" list for the attorney to negotiate on behalf of the client.
Expert service with straight forward reporting of facts.

James did an amazing job with our home inspection. He was very prompt in responding to my questions. Additionally, James' inspection of our property was very thorough. He brought to light some serious issues with the property that other inspectors might have overlooked. James produced the final inspection report within hours of completing the inspection. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James, nor would I hesitate to work with him again. He's an inspector that you want on your side when making a purchase, but he's bad news for sellers because, he finds everything!

Jim wasted no time & had already inspected the perimeter by the time I arrived...and the inspection still lasted 2 hours for a pretty small house!
Not only did he do a thorough job inspecting the property, but he also taught me how things worked in the house in a clear & concise manner...valuable info for a first-time buyer like myself.
Bottom line: he gave me the confidence to go through with my purchase, which, at the end of the day, is what I needed the most!
