As a potential buyer on a 30 year old house, I needed not just an inspection for the sake of having one, but an honest opinion. Chris delivered both, in spades, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. No nonsense guy, tells you how he sees it, no sugar coating, but no scare tactics either, only professional opinion with experience to back it up.
Seeing him work is a treat, even for a slightly obsessive compulsive guy like myself. He's got a system, and he's thorough, ours took just about 4 hours start to finish. I showed up 20 minutes early at the property, and he was already up on the roof, doing his thing, what more can you ask for? I always felt welcomed to participate in the inspection process as much or as little as I liked. He always treated me with respect, and was never bothered by silliest questions, true professional.
The icing on the cake is the report itself. I kid you not, mine was 68 pages long, for a 2,000 square foot property, but it's 68 pages of detailed, and illustrated inventory of everything that is either right or wrong. Delivered right on time the next morning, it is a report forming the basis of my 3/6/12/24-month plan of remediation and maintenance to ensure the home serves our family for the years to come.
Long story short, just give Chris a call, you will not be disappointed.

Boris, Glad you thought of the report as icing on the cake. That must have meant you were really happy with the whole process. At Haystack Home Inspection we come for the edict that there is no such thing as a stupid question. If you are having a hard time grasping something we are more than happy to explain it or even explain it a couple different ways until we come to a common understanding. A home inspection is about so much more than telling you what's wrong with a home it is about increasing your understanding of the home you are looking at. We are here to educate you so you may make wise decisions. Your future questions are important to us as well. Thanks for your feedback Boris. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
