J May Home Inspection

We couldn't be happier with the home inspection we received. We have been through multiple past home inspections and this was by far the most thorough. Mike was easy to work with to schedule the appointment, operated efficiently, and was extremely patient in explaining his findings with us and putting them in layman's terms. He gave us great recommendations both for items to address in the nearterm as well as preventative maintenance tasks to keep our home in good working order for years to come! 10/10 would recommend.

Mike did a great inspection job for us. He is very knowledgeable and very thorough. We asked lots of questions and he patiently answered them all. We particularly liked how the report identified and described major vs. minor issues. In summary - an A++.

He was very thorough and detailed in everything he did from outside and inside. Took consideration in his recommendations that was pointed out to us during the inspection.

My husband and I bought our first home and the inspection was one of the things we dreaded the most. Luckily a friend recommended Mike and we couldn't be more pleased. Mike was thorough, precise, fast and on top of everything, a very nice person to work with. He even provided us with recommendations on local contractors. We will make sure to recommend his services to our friends.

Mike was great! He did a very thorough home inspection for us and made us feel very confident with our purchase. Mike is also blessed with the ability of educating. As first time home owners, we were able to learn a lot about how a home functions. I highly recommend reaching out to him for your home inspection.

When we first met in person he had me in awe as I saw him on the roof with no ladder in sight (turned out it was around back). You would think having started at the roof things could only go down from here, but not with Mike. He started on the roof then raised the home inspecting bar. He left even my jack of all trades dad saying "this guy knows his stuff." More importantly he makes sure that by the time the inspection is over that you also know you stuff with regards to the home. He was able to to address all of the issues we saw and call attention to issues we missed. Each issue also came with an explanation on how to properly address them or let them sit til the vent police come to town. The last thing I will add is that above all else, Mike provided assurance that we knew what we were going into beyond a mortgage payment. We may have to have him come out for another inspection after the issues are addressed just to get his stamp of approval.

Mike was amazing. His report was detailed and well organized. His knowledge is unsurpassed and shed light on many topics I would have otherwise overlooked. He is also an honest individual to boot- Nice to see these days. Thanks for all you do!

Mike was a very professional and insightful inspector. He kept me informed of everything he found from start to finish and was extremely throughout. Would rehire in a heartbeat. A+ service

Michael aka Ninja as we love to call him provided astounding services to the two homes we wanted him to inspect. He is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He is very pleasant and honest and shows that he loves the work he does to bring 100% to his customers so they know and are aware of the home they are purchasing. We would recommend him to anyone, you will not be disappointed. His prices are affordable and reasonable compared to the market.

Mike is great! He’s very thorough and explained his observations/ concerns. I would 100% recommend.

Mike’s inspection was prompt and thorough. He explained his way through the whole process, provided a detailed report of the items needing attention, and answered all of our questions. We could not have asked for a better home inspection experience.

Mike did an amazing and thorough job. Would 100% recommend to anyone buying a home to use J May Home Inspections.

I’ve hired Mike Atwell three times. He is and will be my go-to for home inspection because nobody dies it better. He crawls underground, in between, up and over and through to give you the most comprehensive inspection I’ve ever experienced. He’s honest and trustworthy and I simply won’t use anyone else. He’s saved me from purchasing a bad house and I will forever be grateful. Thank you Mike!

Mike is a great inspector. Setting up the consult is very easy through email. He went over the property carefully and presented us through everything in details and provided us advice for maintenance. His report is also very detailed and answered all our question. We are fully satisfied with his consult and report. We highly recommend him to other people for inspection/consult.

Michael did an exceptional job throughout the whole home inspection. He explained things in great detail, and presented things in a factual manner to help us with our decisions.

Mike did a phenomenal job of helping us inspect our first time home purchase (post purchase inspection in a sellers' market). He was very thorough and made sure inexperienced home owners like us understood the issues and how to fix them by explaining in a simple manner . He spent many hours inspecting the property and was very professional. He made sure he categorized the issues he found in a way that would be easy for us to target what to fix outright and what to fix over the time or keep an eye on. We would highly recommend Mike !

Highly recommend Michael Atwell of J May Home Inspections. Before I found Michael I was beyond stressed about my first condo purchase. I was concerned about the condo and wanted to make certain I was finding the best inspector. My realtor was pushing his inspector on me, who I didn't want out of conflict of interest concern. Instead I did my own research. I looked for certified individuals with extensive experience - and that's how I came across Michael. From the moment I contacted him, he truly listened to and addressed all of my concerns. I immediately knew I found the right person for the job. Michael communicated everything clearly and patiently every step of the way. He was extremely detail oriented, not only explaining history of building/construction materials, but explained potential foreseeable issues- even if it wasn't major or likely. Michael covers it all. Every detail mattered to him, as if he were doing the inspection on his own home. Michael is very thoughtful in his delivery and explanations. He truly wants to equipped you with any and all information you need to make a well informed decision. Michael is a true professional not only in his work but also in his interactions. For Example: From the very beginning he disclosed the amount of time the inspection would take, which was 3 hours. I was thrilled when I heard the duration because to me that meant a thorough job would be executed. I gave sufficient days notice to my realtor on how long the inspection would take and they agreed no problem. On the day of the inspection, as it progressed, the realtor grew noticeably impatient and rude towards myself and Michael...The realtors attitude was sincerely not justifiable whatsoever as they were included and informed of the entirety of the process. Michael did not let the realtor phase him. Michael remained incredibly professional from beginning to end. What you can expect with Michael: Highly knowledgeable, skilled, personable, true expert. You can trust completely that he will do his due diligence. Michael provides a well written thought out detailed report of his findings for your reference. He encourages you to review and reach out to him if you have any questions. Michael knew this was my first home purchase and even provided me an owners manual at the end of the inspection. I appreciate the gesture and further demonstrates his dedication for me to succeed. I would honestly be shocked if there were anyone better than Michael. Beyond happy and satisfied! Highly recommend!

This was a house inspection following an accepted purchase offer. Mike was approachable in communication and did a thorough inspection, took the time to investigate everything carefully, answer questions and explain what he found (even to those of us with little house knowledge). His findings helped us understand what needs to be fixed immediately and what can be done later to feel safe and happy in the new home. The report was extensive with good recommendations and Mike communicated well throughout the process.

Mike conducted an inspection of a condo in Charlestown, in a 300-unit older building. He was great! We talked ahead of time to prep for the inspection. He was thorough in looking through the unit and also the building systems. He delivered a written report less than 24 hours later.

Mike was incredibly helpful during the home inspection. He not only pointed out issues diligently, he also took the time to educate me on what questions to ask, how things worked, and how to best maintain the property. Would definitely work with Mike again!

We needed several home inspections and re-inspections and in each case we were extremely satisfied with the work. We worked with Mike who was very thorough, offered his suggestions and advice, worked quickly to turn around the report, and followed up with us on open items. We can't say enough about how pleased we were with the service!

Excellent! Mike did a thorough evaluation, assessed the situation and offered his professional opinion and advice in figuring out next steps.

We are purchasing a home and Mike completed a home inspection for us. He was extremely thorough and took detailed notes. After the inspection, he promptly provided us with a report on his findings so that we may address those with the seller. He is professional, efficient, personable and extremely knowledgeable. I would most definitely hire him again and recommend to anyone needing the best in the business.

I am the buyer. Mike was there an hour before I arrived - had already done a full walkthrough and was ready to give advice for how to manage and maintain the home. He explained every appliance and system in the home. I feel very confident moving into the new property because of Mike. He also left us with a great home owner's manual to have on hand forever.

I truly appreciate Mike's thorough inspection and advice. Due to his astute observations on shortcuts taken during a gut renovation, we decided to walk away from the home we had anticipated purchasing. This was not an easy decision, but I feel confident that it saved us headaches and much money in the near term. Highly, highly recommend
