JMS Home Inspections,LLC

Joe went above and beyond what our expectations were for this inspection. He demonstrated great attention to detail throughout the entire process and provided my wife and I with useful tips and how to remedy common fixes around the house. Joe was extremely professional and let us know that if we had any questions after we moved in about anything, that he would be more than happy to answer them. The report is very detailed and left us feeling very confident and reassured with the home prior to moving in. Thanks for all your help and expertise Joe! -Dave and Jenn

I was impressed with Joe's thoroughness and attention to detail. Joe got to our inspection early and did the majority of the work before we arrived. Once we arrived, Joe took us through, room-by-room, and explained everything. Some of what he explained for just an FYI (i.e. here is the water shut-off switch), which is very helpful. Joe went through everything that was going to be in the report, and made sure to answer any questions that we had. The formal report came within a few hours of leaving the house. Joe even made a note that we could call him in the future with any questions or issues too. I am very happy with our inspection.

- D.P., Okemos MI, January 2017

I am a first time home buyer and dreaded trying to find a good, trustworthy inspector that would look out for my best interests and still be fair and honest. Joe was the first person I called and I could not have been happier. We spent a long time on the phone during that initial call and it was his willingness to answer questions and attention to details that made me hire him. He promptly returns calls, was early to the inspection, took his time reviewing everything and more importantly he took his time explaining in great detail his thoughts, concerns and reasons behind everything he was worried about and why he was not worried about other things. For a single female buying her first home,he made me feel confident in my investment and confident that I understood the minor work that must be done after I purchase the home. You can rest assured he will do a good and thorough job for your inspection and I highly recommend him.
- S.P., January 2017

We have nothing but positive things to say about Joseph. He was fast, flexible, kind, and thorough. He even agreed to come back a different day to follow up on some concerns that my husband and I had about the crawl space in our future home. The report was detailed and included clear pictures, which are going to be extremely helpful as we move forward with renovations on our new home. We would certainly recommend him.

It was a pleasure to meet and work with Joseph Stetor. Mr. Stetor is friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable home inspector. He answered all my questions thoroughly. He explained how a seemingly complicated gas-hot water heating system works in a way that was easy for me to understand. As a result, he help take the mystery out of it and I'm now less intimidated by the heating system. He's given me a better overall understanding of how the house functions. That said, although I'm very satisfied with my working relationship with Mr. Stetor, if pressed, I would offer one suggestion as an area of improvement which would be that, in future, to be sure to spell-check client's name when editing the final inspection report. My final inspection report shows my first name as: "Jospeh". Know it's a minor error, but was surprised that it was misspelled nonetheless.
- J.H., July 2016

Joe has inspected two houses for me after I made offer to two houses within a month. I back out of first house deal because the cost for repair or upgrade work is over my budget. I credit to Joe?s very thorough inspection report which has helped me estimate the overall cost associated with the house purchase. Joe is a knowledgeable and experienced home inspector with construction and engineering background. He is courteous and was a pleasure to work with. His inspection report is the best I've seen. It is very thorough with photos & detailed annotations. He provides recommendation for improvement or repair items. He also coordinated pest inspection schedule for me so that the two inspectors can perform inspection at the same time. It eliminated multiple scheduling, trips, and save time for all parties involved - inspectors, sellers, buyers, & realtors. He provided me inspection report less than 24 hours after the inspection. These prompt action sped up the home purchase process. It allowed us to take action and respond to the purchase agreement terms within specified short time frame. I am very appreciative that Joe gave me free radon test as courtesy for the second house inspection. I am happy to say that the second deal got thru and I will have new home to move in soon. I certainly recommend him to others.
- , June 2016

Joe was very knowledgeable and answered any question that was asked of him. He was very courteous and really seemed to take him time and make sure that any issue that he saw he explained thoroughly. He was also very detailed in his reporting and very thorough in that process. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an inspector and also would use him in the future if the need for an inspector should arise.
- D.E., June 2016

The home inspection was excellent! Joe Stetor looked at all of the home systems: roof, electrical, heating and cooling, water, windows, walls, ceilings, etc. After his inspection, he took me on a tour of the inside and outside of the house, identified all the problems, and made suggestions for fixes and improvements. He provided a complete written report of everything he did with photos of things that need to be fixed. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and has excellent customer relation skills. I'd give him a five star recommendation!
- , May 2016

You were very thorough and taught us a lot about the house. Thank you!
- C.B., May 2016

Joe was extremely thorough and diligent in his inspection. He did not rush the work, but took the time to go through every room and explain what he inspected as well as his findings. What was even more impressive was that he explained how to maintain and care for many of the appliances, flooring, and other areas around the home. With his useful website and detailed report, I am confident not to miss or forget anything that he advised during his inspection. I would highly recommend Joe to any of my family or friends.

- M.B., April 2016

Joe has a great personality, he was able to fit our inspection right into his schedule. I felt like he was very thorough in his explanations both in the report and in reviewing each room with us. He explained everything and answered our many questions. I would definitely contact him again - and recommend him to any of our home buying friends! The only item I had that was a surprise to me was that the Air unit did not get tested (made sense due to outside temps). But it hadn't dawned on me until I read it in the report.
