As a first time homebuyer, I didn't know a whole lot about home inspection. I did know that I wanted an inspector who had construction/contracting experience, as opposed to one who had simply "passed the inspector's course at the local community college". Lets face it. You could read a dozen books about water leaks, but unless you'd actually built a watertight structure or been forced to repair one with my your hands, I wouldn't risk my money on your odds of finding me one... Chris used to be a roofer. And he maintains a hundred year old house. So he knows his stuff.
If anybody deserves to be among the top vendors in their field, it's Chris at Haystack. He arrived an hour before our appointment to complete the outside survey of the house. The inspection process was very thorough, with Chris taking the time to answer each and every one of my questions about everything. And I'm a very technical and very curious person, so we're talking many, many questions answered. I really appreciated the discussions we had about absolutely everything around the house. Full marks for Chris and Haystack!!

Thanks Tim, I should hire you to be spokesperson. More seriously though I really appreciate what you wrote. Often people overlook the years of acquired knowledge it takes to perform a quality home inspection under the parameters we work. If I can help you with anything further just call. Sincerely, Chris
