I went with John Tambascio Home Inspection based on the recommendation of a co-worker who described him as being "extremely thorough", and she was certainly right. I was in a bit of a jam scheduling-wise, as my offer had been accepted just 3 days before a holiday weekend, and I was leaving town for an entire week immediately after. I had called a couple other inspectors who all had nothing for at least a week, but John was able to squeeze me in on Saturday morning at a time he had not originally planned on scheduling (since he wouldn't be able to produce the report with his standard turnaround time, but I was fine with getting it a little later). He and his inspector partner were very friendly, and were indeed very thorough with the inspection, uncovering some damage in the basement that the untrained eye would not have caught, which I subsequently was able to use to negotiate a better price during P&S.
