Sound View Home Inspectors
James Beck from Sound View Home Inspections recently completed a buyer’s pre-inspection for us. He was knowledgeable, thorough and professional. There were actually multiple pre-inspections occurring at the same time (popular house!) and so we had a very direct comparison with other inspectors. James was more thorough and completed more checks than the other inspectors (gas leaks, moisture levels, wood rot, etc). He even found a garden hose and tested the water drainage around the foundation.
James was very professional over the phone and made an appointment that worked well for us. He arrived a little early and was all ready to go when we arrived. He took the time to educate us as he toured the home and when he found items that needed repair, he explained in detail what would be needed as well as approx. costs that we could expect. When we were done, he took the time to tidy up before leaving, very professional! When we were done with the needed repairs, he promptly came back to re-inspect and prepared a report right away for our lender so as to get our purchase moving forward
James, at Sound View, was recommended to me both by my real estate agent AND my lender, for a home inspection. Having purchased a home once before, many years ago, with a cheap and terrible inspector, I was a little paranoid about home inspections in general, until I met James. He was prompt, courteous, friendly, extremely thorough, graciously answered the million questions I put to him, asked me specifically what I had concerns about, never once complained about the pouring rain and even weathered the sellers chatting him up with good humor and grace. There was never a question in my mind that James was there looking out for my best interests as the new homeowner
James was awesome to work with, walked me through everything he was looking at and gave us a very good wrap up when we were done for the day. The inspection report was very detailed and has given us a good head start on knowing what we need to work on in the house. I would hire Sound View again, 100%.
He was friendly, professional and answered all of my questions with useful details. I found his report to be clear and easy to read. His diligence and skill even impressed my protective father (a knowledgeable homeowner and extremely meticulous man). James has earned my trust and I now feel more confident and safe completing the purchase of my home. I would highly recommend his services.
James he is very friendly and professional Inspector I recommend any one who wants to Inspector.thank you James.
