NORTHSTAR HOME INSPECTIONS

I've bought houses before. I told the seller we wanted the house inspected before we committed. Mr Schirmeister is the most thorough house inspector I've ever seen. He spent two hours at it and gave us a VERY detailed rundown on the condition of the house. Next time I need a building inspected I will call him first.

We had worked with Jeff before -- we hired him to inspect a house about a month before this, but the house required $70k+ of repairs and Jeff let us know early in the inspection (he waived his usual fee). When we found a better house, we were very glad to hire Jeff again! My wife and I were present during the inspection. Jeff was very thorough and was glad to answer our questions. The inspection fee covered a pest inspector who was also very thorough and knowledgeable. We were impressed with his depth of knowledge. He compiled his report very quickly and met us and our Realtor® about 90 minutes later, and he went over everything that he had found in detail. 
I am very happy to recommend North Star Home Inspections to anyone who is looking to purchase a home and who wants a good, solid, thorough understanding of the home's condition.

Awful. Word to the wise, NEVER use the inspector your Realtor recommends no matter how much you think you trust them. 

Provided a printed report with digital photos of all findings before he left the site. Caught several areas of attic issues, grout replacement or repair and provided references to local contractors for other work.
