Roofing,all repairs,(from Appliances to Roofs)and home inspections
Unfortunately, he missed a couple of major issues. The basement wall has a diagonal crack through it, which was not mentioned in the report. When I contacted him to ask him about it, he sent an extremely brief reply, saying it wasn't a problem and could be fixed but not necessary. I replied to clarify, asking if he had noticed it or not during the inspection. He dodged the question, only saying it was mentioned in the report, but it wasn't. There was only a very generic disclaimer saying that hairline cracks that don't affect the structural integrity wouldn't be mentioned. This crack is 1/4"+, definitely not a hairline crack. The first reaction of one contractor who saw it was "WHOA!" I certainly would have liked it mentioned.
Additionally, there is a subterranean termite infestation which he apparently missed. It appears they are gaining access through the unmentioned foundation crack. We are now looking at having to tear out all the finished basement walls, repair/seal the foundation, and spend thousands on a whole-house poisonous termite treatment right as we're expecting a baby.
I understand it's impossible to have a 100% accurate home inspection, and Tom seems like a great guy, but the purpose of hiring a home inspector is to make an informed buying decision, and in this case, I don't feel I was equipped with all the necessary information to do that.

There were some bumps in the road with this project, but the end result is good and all was made right.
Communication was a little difficult with him, as his voice mailbox was often full and e-mails went unanswered for days, but he always did get back to me and started and finished the job on time. The day after the window was installed (Christmas Eve), I woke up to discover the well full of water and water leaking into the basement. They'd had to cut a drain to finish the project and did not install a long enough extension on it, so the rainwater all ran back into the well. I called him and he and Phil rushed out to my house on Christmas Eve within 20 minutes, pumped out all the water, cleaned everything up, and remedied the problem.
Everything has been fine since, the permits and inspection all went fine, the project was finished on time and within budget, and the window is a BIG improvement in the basement.

The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200 per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50 per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
