Jamie Columbia

Dan was so great at our inspection. He really took his time to explain things and made sure we understood things that really needed to be fixed as soon as possible. He was incredibly knowledgable, and helped put us at ease. I highly recommend Dan and Highland Home Inspections!

Jamie Columbia from Highland Home Inspections was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He was very thorough and he took his time to explain the inspection and his various assessments. He answered all my questions and provided important insight into the overall condition of the home. As a first time home buyer of an old home, this was greatly appreciated. His final report was detailed and helpful for our negotiations with the sellers. Furthermore, it was easy to schedule the inspection and communicate with the office staff. We will definitely reccomend Highland Home Inspections to our friends and family.

Jamie was thorough and walked us through everything in the entire house, from big to small. He wasn't rushed and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone buying a house.

I felt comfortable with the contractor while at the inspection, but was very dissappointed when I received the final report. He left out obvious negative issues about the house that I felt should have been disclosed in the report. Specifically, there was very open and obvious evidence of prior water damage in the house that was not reported on, even after I pointed it out. In addition, water was later found in the house where he said his meter determined the area to be dry. Also, I later discovered uncovered wires that was not disclosed. He pointed out structural cracks in the wall to me, but did not put them in the report for seller to repair. He also did not mention obvious problems with the existing drain tile system. Seller used this fact in support of him not offering a higher credit to repair the system. There was also a coroded pipe in the bathroom sink in basement that was not mentioned. I think most of these guys are trying to limit what they report on to get the sale through without additional seller expense.

Jamie was very professional. He let us follow him during all the inspection. His report was very easy to understand and contained all information we wanted.

Our inspector was great! He explained everything to us as we went through each room and every inch of the house. Our inspection happened close to the holidays and over a weekend and we still got it back quickly.
