Jeff at JLH is a great inspector… very thorough, great value, extremely prompt and responsive.

This review is a little overdue but if it will help one new homeowner its worth writing. I hired Jeff to inspect my new home before purchasing after he gave me his report on the condition of my home I proceed with the purchase and a few day after moving in is where the trauma begins…
Jeff is not a through inspector! He did not look in the toilet tank and notice that the flusher was hooked up by a paperclip and string?! Let’s move on, he noted that he checked the dishwasher however after using it the first time my entire kitchen flooded which he would have noticed if he had ran a cycle for a few moments, the water hose was cut in half due to improper installation… Ohh thats why the previous owners was using it as a file cabinet when I peeked inside on a visit to preview the home with my realtor!
Next up, he wrote he checked a good sample of the windows and they were in operating condition… maybe that meant he checked the latches because ALL THE WINDOWS WERE NAIL SHUT WITH 4″ NAILS!
But wait there’s more, Jeff did not notice that a 83″ (almost 7′ wide) window in family room was busted out, after move in I went to clean the window and nearly killed myself when I slit my wrist on a shard of glass that remained in the window frame when I went to slide the blinds to the side to wash the windows down…
Oh we aren’t done yet what happen on the first rain fall when I went into the family room to check a running faucet that does not exist in that room… yep massive amounts of rainwater from the ceiling.
So I contact this «inspector» and he denies all negligence which lead us to court and to me getting every penny I paid him back, to bad I wasn’t able to get more.
Morrell of this nightmare… I mean story… ALWAYS BUY A HOME WARRANTY it worth its weight in gold for any unknown you may encounter and it saved my life after this new home purchase, I Know this was a lot but skip on this company and save a lot more!

We recently had a home inspection performed by Jeff from JLH Home Services, Inc. He was friendly, professional, thorough and very helpful. The cost was also very reasonable. In less than 24-​hours we had a detailed report that offered some advice on things that could/​should be repaired or modified as well as some advice about winterizing different things. During the inspection he also noted some areas that could be improved cosmetically or functionally, as well as some information on how to most effectively make the improvements. Since this is our first home, the extra advice will be very helpful.
