Jim was extremely helpful in walking us through the inspection process. My wife and I are first time home buyers and we felt like we got a crash course in taking care of a house as much as a quality inspection. Thank you!

- K.A., Kinnersville PA, October 2020

What a great experience from the time I called for information to my final report. James was very responsive, I was able to schedule the inspection within days of my call. He was on time and very detailed in his inspection. He climbed on the roof, crawled up into the ceiling and inspected every detail that I would have never thought of until I was in a new home and discovered I can't open the windows and if I do it would not stay up and crash down. The report was ready the next day. It was so easy to read with pictures included and very well organized. It also included valuable safety information. This will be a document that I can use as a reference beyond the purpose of a new home purchase. I highly recommend James!
- B.R., September 2020

Jim was straightforward, professional and thorough. I am very satisfied.

- M.D., January 2020

Thanks again Jim; I've been very happy with your inspections twice now. The condo I bought as a first home 6 years ago hasn't yielded surprises your report didn't already note, and we're feeling we have a clearer picture of the ~200 year old house we're moving to.
- S.W., Winooski VT, November 2019

Jim explained everything to me in plain language that I could understand, throughout the inspection. He is thorough and professional. I would whole heartedly recommend Jim Breer for home inspection.

Jim Breer was very personable, thorough and professional. He personally brought us into each room to point out any defects he found.

- J.B., December 2018

This is the third time we have had an inspection report done by Jim Breer over the last 20 years and highly recommend him. He scheduled this inspection within the very tight time frame we identified and had it back to us to review within two days of the inspection. The inspection was very comprehensive and the software program he uses allowed us to make a list of items we wanted to discuss with the seller. It was a pleasure working with him.
- A.B., November 2018

Jim was professional and did a thorough job. I got to see pictures of areas I've not explored (i.e. attic space, etc.) and he let me follow him around and take notes. The final report was comprehensive and easy to read. I will definitely recommend in the future. Thanks again!
- E.C., July 2018

- J.P., October 2017

I found Jim to be punctual, thorough, courteous and unwavering in professional demeanor. He explained things in terms I could understand and took the time to explain the laws that pertained to things that were not up to code. He is among very few men I have hired that did not speak to me as if visually impaired, blonde, and female were commensurate with stupid. I would recommend him to anyone who needs this kind of service. Rev. Llalla Shahar and George Rich- Randolph/Bethel, VT
- L.G., October 2017

- M.K., October 2016

Jim was fantastic and took his time to explain everything he was looking at.
- A.V., August 2016

I love the house that I am planning to buy, so I missed many things that must be addressed before a closing date is agreed upon. Jim was very focused, and organized as he evaluated every detail from building's exterior to the chimney repairs that were done. I believe the inspection took about 2 hours. My son was present for this inspection. Last November he bought a 3000 sq.ft. home in Williston which took only an hour. He said he wished that Jim had done this job because the inspector the bank hired missed several items of importance. I would definitely recommend Jim's expertise, and he was very honest, polite and professional. Thank you. Nancy anderson
- N.A., July 2016

Thank you for doing this inspection on such short notice. Sorry about Lighthouse Hill Rd, you were great!

Walter and Ginny Ziske
- W.Z., January 2016

Responsive, timely and thorough
- S.S., October 2015

Will definitely recommend Jim for an inspection. Very professional, attention to detail, reports delivered in a timely manner.
- L.F., October 2015

OMG, is Jim thorough. Not to be unkind, but he may be a candidate for obsessive compulsive disorder meds. No, just kidding. Put the word "thorough" into your Wikipedia search bar. Guess what comes back? Answer: Jim Breer. My only fear is that if he inspected the White House, it would be condemned. I've had a lot of homes inspected over the years, and Jim seems to be pretty much the gold standard. If you don't take it all with a tiny grain of salt, you may never find a home to move into. But if you move into a home that Jim Breer inspects for you, you ARE going to know what you are buying. And he will take the time patiently to explain his report to you, which is hugely helpful. Go Jim B.
- J.R., August 2015

Thanks, , Jim, you were very thorough and I appreciated your sharing your observations and knowledge with me as we went through the house.

- R.J., December 2014

Thanks so much Jim. Your service was prompt (even with the short notice I gave you) and thorough. It was the best home inspection report that I have ever seen. My parents, who are in their late seventies said the same. I will enthusiastically recommend you to others.
- J.G., December 2014

Great job thank you.
- L.S., November 2014

I appreciate the thoroughness of the report.

- W.D., October 2014

Thank You; always a pleasure to learn from an expert.
- J.S., September 2014

Very thorough, excellent comunication and interputation of what if any diffencies may mean to prospective buyer
- C.S., July 2014

As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have picked a better home inspector. Mr. Breer took the time to explain everything that he was looking for and found -and not just the stuff that needed correcting. He also pointed out what was in good or great repair. I walked away feeling much more educated and prepared for the next step in the home buying process. Hopefully I won't need another inspector anytime soon but if I do, I'll use Jim Breer again.
- S.B., July 2014

Very thorough report, detailed explanation of all issues, I was very happy with the completeness of the inspection and report.
- R.A., July 2014

Jim is very professional and no-nonsense. He identifies and explains problem issues, explains when an issue is the result of laws or standards, and identifies when the solution is an easy fix. I would work with Jim again as a home inspector.
- R.S., June 2014

Jim was thorough and professional and provided a high-quality report in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend Jim for your property inspection needs.

Thamks for the pictures that correspond to problems so they are easy to find.
- A.H., May 2014

Jim Breer was thorough and knowledgeable, and yet managed to speak in plain English so that we understood what he was seeing. His report was timely and complete, easy to read and understand - because he had talked us through everything while he was conducting the inspection. In addition to his expertise, Jim was pleasant and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him!
- P.J., May 2014

Thank you Jim for a very complete inspection of my future home, with care to keep the inside of the house free of dirt while inspecting it, and being there when you said you would be. I'm now much more knowledgable as to what the home needs, or what is right with it. Thank you Charlie DuBois
- C.D., May 2014

I chose Mr. Breer and Better Home Inspections to inspect both the home I sold and the home I bought. His inspection of the home I sold allowed me to make the necessary repairs before the house went on the market. His inspection of the new house found problems that the Home Association was able to take care of before I moved in - no mess. Stellar service - I recommend him highly. Jacquelynne Utton
