Jim Salmon Home Inspection Services

"Jim was the answer to my prayers! I inherited my house when my mom passed away and do not have a ton of home owning knowledge, but Jim came in and right away I knew he was exactly what I was looking for. He was non-judgmental, empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. I asked him if he wanted to know what my areas of concerns are and he said no, let's see if they match up at the end, and they did! He also brought to my attention things I would have never noticed and eased my worries on a lot of things. Jim was so thorough and I loved that he walked me through each area of the house after he inspected it. I absolutely recommend Jim!"

"Jim came to do an inspection for us post home purchase. We knew upfront buying an older home in a competitive housing market that there would be some updates needed. Jim gave us a very comprehensive inspection and made suggestions on what we should work on updating first. Very thorough, professional and kind. If you want an honest inspection done on your home, Jim would be the guy you want. 10/10 would recommend."

"I did not want to hire Mr. Salmon based on the multitude of bad reviews, but given our numerous home issues and legal urgency, he was the only home inspector we could find within the time frame available. He was very arrogant, spoke badly of realtors in general and many builders almost the entire time, including how inadequate and incompetent The ARISTO Company (our horrible home builder) is. Most of the inspection included defects we already knew that were pretty obvious like uneven drywall. He did point out our tile was also poorly installed, uneven and cracking due to water damage, and when we told him our story of selecting tile at the Tile store but it was delivered with price sticker from Home Depot, he said ARISTO was known to "switch n' bait" to many home buyers! Overall, we really did not gain a whole lot of new information from Mr. Salmon and it was clear he is all about making money rather than sincerely interested in helping customers improve their home. He was pushing us to consider new windows too--it is no wonder since he is promoting Wonder Windows now!"

"I have heard Jim's show a few times over the years. I have also used his website to find contractors that I can trust. The website is where I learned that he was a home inspector. So when buying a house calling Jim was an easy decision. Given the size and complexity of the property it was critical to us to have the protection of a thorough inspection. Within 5 minutes of beginning his work I knew we were in good hands . He looked at every inch of the home. He spent three hours examining every system and structure. He explained everything we was doing and why. When he was done he reviewed each of his findings and answered all of our questions. I feel confident that we have all the information we need to negotiate with the sellers. Thank you Jim."

"Jim Salmon is a referral from family and he is thorough, extremely professional and patient. We put an offer on a historic two-family home built in 1860. It has a lot of older characteristics and Jim was transparent and very knowledgeable about its condition. He answered every question with immense empathy and also had great advice and was helpful with concerns we had regarding the potential investments and issues that could arise. I like that Jim and his office take an educational approach. This gave us a great insight into why parts of the home were worth investing in. Overall, Jim advised us on what his professional opinion was about the property and what he would do if it were his investment choice — he really looks after us like family! Highly recommend."
