They were great!! They came on time. The were very thorough with doing the inspection. They made sure to answer all my questions. They also made sure I understood everything being done. They made the process very easy.

We hired CJR based upon recommendations from neighbors who had been well satisfied by their work. We wanted an independent inspection of our house prior to the expiration of the one-year builder warranty. They found a few items needing repair/replacement, which I'm not sure the builder would have identified. Excellent work all around. Definitely recommend.

We are amazed at the thoroughness of the inspection, and it helped us determine that, with the work that needed to be done, that we were going to have several thousand dollars in extensive repairs done before moving in. There were issues with the home's electric, plumbing, roofing, windows, etc...luckily, thanks to CJR, we were able to make an informed "guesstimate" at the cost of repairs, and negotiate with the homeowners to some price concessions. Had the inspection not been so carefully detailed, we wouldn't have recognized most of the issues until they had caused further extensive damage. What a GREAT company to have on your side, especially if you're a buyer and you didn't hire a buyers agent!! They were worth every penny of the inspections and then some!!

"Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. A! I wish I noticed this review earlier! It was a pleasure to meet you and your husband both that day, and I'm glad our company lived up to the expectations our clients and we set for ourselves. I like to hear when our services are used to re-negotiate a fair market value price for a home. That our clients aren't paying top dollar for a home that they then have to turn around and sink a bunch of money into, that they weren't aware they would have to spend going into the real estate transaction. That's the best compliment we can get! Thanks again!"

As we neared our one year anniversary in our new home we asked several neighbors who they had chosen for a home inspection. Although they all said their inspectors were good, only CJR actually would go on the roof. Since we had concerns about our roof (after seeing more than half the neighborhood get new roofs this year) we went with CJR. I can't begin to say how happy we were with John and Joe. They arrived on time and split up the duties of doing a very thorough inspection (it lasted over 3 hours). They found things we knew about and a lot that we didn't know about (like a small leak in the kitchen sink that showed up after they filled the sink up with water). Everything was tested to make sure it worked properly -- dishwasher, cooktop, oven, etc. All windows were opened to ensure they functioned properly (they found one wouldn't stay up). As for our roof, no hail damage, but they provided pictures of a lot of installation damage. At the end of the inspection, they sat down with us and provided a detailed presentation with pictures identifying all the items they found. Before they left the report was in my inbox. They even took down all the model/serial numbers of appliances, furnace, a/c unit, etc and we got a report if there were any recalls. Because we're in a high radon area, we had them also do a radon test. We will be telling other neighbors about our great experience with CJR.

CJR was very detailed with their findings and were very thorough. They checked every nook and cranny in the house I was buying. They came out two separate times to conduct re-inspections for which I was not charged for.

John and Joe came out on a short notice request. I can't say enough about how great and thorough they were! They were professional, friendly, and concerned that the details were explained carefully and understood. They typed up the report on site and presented the details so we were able to make an informed decision very quickly. We would definitely recommend them to any of our friends, and will use them again if we need to! Thanks John and Joe!!

Thanks again for the kind words and give us a call if you have any post inspection questions that may come up..... Best, John & Joe"

The service was the best, very professional and friendly.   Took the time to show me the full process of home inspection, and allowed me to ask questions, no matter how mundane.   When all was said and done I felt confident that there was no stone left upturned.  In the end I walked away from the house feeling confident that I had made the right choice using the very detailed inspection done by CJR, they saved me from a very costly mistake.

It's a shame so many corners were cut on that home, but everything happens for a reason and we are sure the next one will be the right one!!! Best Regards, John & Joe"

John and Joe did a fantastic job of inspecting a resale property that we have under contract. I do NOT regularly write any reviews but wanted to commend them for an awesome job. Having  two highly qualify inspectors independently go through the home and inspect everything that could be inspected and providing a full brief and COMPLETE report on-site at the end  of the inspection was very assuring. I was concerned with my realtor's recommendation but he assured me he had the best inspectors and he did. Remember in buying a home, your realtor's fee gets paid by the seller so some realtors aren't looking out for your best  interests. These guys are the best and they are worth their fee which is reasonable. They don't check a subset of the total electrical outlets/faucets/....,but they check everything.  I'm telling all my friends to use them!!!!!! Oh - they give 3% discount for cash/check.

Great job. This is our fourth new home and John and his partner did an incredibly thorough job. They found problems with a broken roof truss, ventilation system issues, and a handful of minor issues easily corrected by the builder. They showed up on time, took their time, and provided a timely report. CJR is phenomenal and I'd recommend them without reservation. Hire CJR when you need a professional home inspection, they know what they are doing!

fabulous. Incredibly professional and thorough. Presented powerpoint summary at the end of the inspection and offered to come back to check if repairs were made. My husband is very detail oriented and CJR blew him away with their high level of quality.

It went great, John and Joe arrived on time and provided me with detail information about the process.
They work as a team, with one doing the outside and the other during the inside.
They checked area's both large and small, going in the crawl space and up in the attic.
The results of such a detail inspection, provided me with a clear and concise report of my home. With recommendations that I could pass on to a handyman or a contractor to complete.
This is only the second home inspection I have been a part of and it was well worth it.
I would recommend CJR Property Inspections to anyone looking for a detail and informative home inspection.
Thanks John and Joe

This was our third home inspection done by John and Jay with CJR.  They are fantastic!  The inspection is very thorough and detailed.  They did not mind at all that my father-in-law wanted to tag along with Jay to crawl into crawlspaces, basements and attics so that he could see first-hand what they were seeing. 
The inspection report is very comprehensive and even ranks and prioritizes the issues found during the inspection. 
One service that we were very impressed with is that the company will come back out and re-inspect issues, free of charge, for as long as you own the house.  We had a number of issues that were repaired as part of the Home Inspection Contigency, and they are willing to come back out to reinspect them to make sure they were properly repaired.
We would absolutely recommend this company to anyone buying a house!

He was very friendly and thorough. He completed the inspection explaining his findings with me on the spot and what were minor fixes to a larger possible foundation issue.  We went over them in more depth at the end as part of the report.  We had the report emailed to us right after he's was done going over it.  He really does mean it when he says "call me anytime with questions I'm happy to help".  Two weeks later I bought the house.  Had the electric and water turned on and then, I was having some low voltage issues.  Some appliances would work like the garbage disposal  other wouldn't like the AC/Heat pump or dryer.  Everything was working when we did the home inspection.  I called him and we went over some trouble shooting steps together.  Turned out the electric company messed something up when the turned the power on.  Luckily no appliances were damaged.  Chuck was happy to help.  I highly recommend CJR and chuck to anyone.  Thanks!

It was amazing to work with CJR! They were referred to us by one of the lenders we were getting quotes from, and our realtor was a bit nervous because she had never worked with them. Well they won her over! She actually called me a while later to get their info again for an inspection she needed in the area.
Jay was great to work with and a wonderful personality too. They were very good at noting what was general repairs or touch ups that we could take care of, and what was critical that should be part of our bid.
A month or two after moving in we noticed a problem with our grinder pump and called CJR to ask - what the heck is a grinder pump anyway?? They stayed on the phone with my husband for a good half hour explaining grinder pumps, how they work, why they are in our neighborhood and what kinds of problems people typically have with them - and they did not charge us a penny for that conversation.
I love these guys. I would hire them again in a SECOND!
** Please note, I cannot remember how much the inspection was exactly, so the number above is a bit of a guess. Please don't give them a hard time if they quote higher. That's on me, not them!

We are purchasing our fourth house, and this was absolutely the most thorough home inspection I have ever received. It was also the first time I have ever had two people do the inspection. I was concerned about missing something since there two of them and only one of me, but it really wasn't an issue. I was able to go back and forth, and they were great at explaining what they had found and just general observations about the house. Plus, the final review of everything after the inspection also ensured I was aware of everything and had a chance to ask questions. We left with a hardcopy version of the report as well as a digital one in my email. The price was very competitive considering two inspectors were on site for over 4.5 hours.
There were only two very small detractors. One, they were about an hour late. They did call a couple hours ahead of time to say they were running behind (I can see how that could happen, given the very thorough nature of their inspections). Second, they only take cash and checks, two things I really do not use much anymore. They are very upfront about it and include a reminder with the booking, but it would have been much more convenient if they accepted credit cards or paypal. All that said, if I were booking another home inspection tomorrow, I would absolutely call these guys.

2 inspectors came. They were outstanding! They were at our home for 6 hours. They didn't miss anything. After owning 6 houses, I've never had an inspection quite so thorough. They printed their report on the spot and emailed it to us and our agent. They gave us a three ring binder with color pictures, explanations, dividers, detailed diagrams. They educated us on different problems we would've missed. I'm so impressed!

These guys are awesome. They showed up on time, with two inspectors and spent 5 hours combing through the home top to bottom. They provided me with a printed report upon completion and went over it with me on the spot. They were thorough, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Their price for the combined home/termite inspection was comparable to their competitors that I contacted and you get 2 inspectors rather than the one that most others offer. They also came back to reinspect the repairs that the seller made and provided a supplemental report at no extra cost. I was able to coordinate an inspection within a few days of calling and they were flexible when I needed to reschedule. I would use their services again and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality home inspection.
