"Just before I bought my home I hired Garnett to inspect it on a referral
from a friend. Am I glad I did! I was expecting to get an assurance
that the place I was buying was in sound condition. Here's what I got:

• A list of minor issues to fix - I followed Garnett around with a
  notepad and lots of questions. He encourages this, showing excellent
  customer service.
• A great education - I'm a pretty handy guy, but in three hours Garnett
  showed me every aspect of my house, inside & out, with explanations,
  great answers to my questions, and answers to questions I didn't know I had. This new familiarity with my place is invaluable.
• The assurance I was looking for.

In addition to giving excellent and competent service, Garnett is
friendly and very personable. These "soft skills" are often hard to
find, but for a home inspection a comfortable relationship with your
inspector is really important.

I'd recommend Hamcrest to anybody buying, selling, or looking to
renovate or maintain your house. You'll be pleasantly surprised with
what you get."
