John performed a pre-purchase inspection of an older home (built in 1971) for us, and if you're looking for a home inspector who is thorough, knowledgeable, and completely committed to representing the buyer's interests, I can't recommend him highly enough.He took the time to inspect every part of the home without taking shortcuts and explained everything he found in a clear, factual, and easy-to-understand way. There was no drama or exaggeration—just an honest, professional assessment backed by obvious expertise and attention to detail.John was not influenced by the seller or the real estate agents. It was clear that he worked for us, the buyers, and his only objective was to provide the information we needed to make a sound decision.Based on the results of his inspection, we made the difficult decision to cancel our purchase contract. While that wasn't the outcome we had hoped for, we are incredibly grateful for his diligence and integrity. His inspection likely saved us from buying a home with significant issues that we would have discovered only after closing.If you want an inspector who is thorough, experienced, objective, and genuinely looking out for your best interests, this is the person to hire.

I had a great experience with my home inspection. The inspector John was extremely thorough, professional, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. He carefully went through the home, pointed out both major and minor items, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed.The inspection report was detailed, well organized, and delivered promptly, which made it much easier to make informed decisions during the home-buying process. I truly appreciated the honesty, attention to detail, and professionalism throughout the entire inspection.If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about doing a thorough job and helping you understand the condition of your home, I highly recommend A Light in the Attic LLC. It gave me confidence and peace of mind during a very important purchase.

We had an incredible experience with John and would highly recommend him to anyone to suspects they may have a mold problem in their home. He was clearly incredibly knowledgeable about mold and how it affects a home but did a great job explaining everything in a way we understood. He explained his process as well as what different findings would mean for us as home owners. He was very realistic but also did a great job putting our minds at ease.No one wants to have mold in their home but if you are looking for an honest, skilled, and truly helpful mold inspector, look no further. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

John was very knowledgeable about home construction and great to work with. We appreciated his fairly priced mold sampling, and very quick results. We would recommend him to anyone needing home or mold inspection services because of the great communication and care he showed in helping us get to the bottom of our mold concerns.

Truly so glad we chose John and his company for our mold inspection. John has lots of experience as a home inspector and he brought so much value and education to our appointment, and was able to bring value beyond just the mold inspection. He talked to us about how to care for different things in the home (rather than hiring and paying extra money for someone else to fix simple problems). He was kind, and seemed to genuinely enjoy his job and educating people. Would highly highly recommend.

We utilized this Company for our Home Inspection during our option period. John was incredible. He was very thorough and took the time to explain processes to us and offered helpful insights on what it would take to remedy. He checked things we never would have considered looking at and he walked us through his report to physically show us any issue he found and why it was an issue. We would a million percent recommend him to any and everyone. He also gave us great recommendations for roofing and pest control.

We have used A Light in The Attic three (3) times and every interaction has been thorough. John has an understanding of building codes that arm the buyer in negotiations and prevent unnecessary costs. John helped us track down an obscure railing weight limit code which caused the seller to make necessary repairs on loose catwalk railing. John’s use of a moisture meter near a suspected leak area prevented us from inheriting a problem that would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix. One of his newer offerings is mold testing; which has provided peace of mind when buying homes in Kingwood. Lastly, John is so thorough, we want to use him to conduct a home inspection before we sell a home. We recommend John and A Light in the Attic to anyone that is buying or selling a home.

John Rhodes with A Light in the Attic home inspection is the very best inspector. Being a realtor I highly recommend him to all my clients. He is very prompt, professional, and fully explains his finding during the inspection. He is also certified to inspect pool and mold and mildew. He is definitely a 1 stop inspector and doesn't disappoint.

John hizo un gran trabajo como inspector. El presta atención a los detalles. Definitivamente excedió mis expectativas. Lo recomiendo 100 por ciento. Una buena inspección es lo más importante a la hora de decidir si se invierte en una propiedad. Gracias a los resultados de la inspección yo decidí no comprar una propiedad que iba a ser mi mas grande error. Gracias John.

John is professional fair and through with his home inspection service. He was on location when he promised, found things that I would have overlooked and explained each issue that was found. He completed the document and it was delivered early the next morning. I would highly recommend John for all your home inspection needs.

What a great experience! John came in to do a limited Mold inspection well prepared and was quite thorough. Throughout the inspection he asked AND answered questions about the process. We received an even handed evaluation that was not scary or pushy and he had no skin in the game regarding remediation IF we had mold. Just an honest evaluation. If you need the types of services he provides, by all means, he is the one you should contact. It is difficult enough to find people like John who do a professional job and are honest. Take advantage an give A Light In The Attic a call when the need arises.

John's thorough pre-purchase home inspection shined light on issues that would have cost me big money and major headaches. He didn't miss a thing! He took the time to discuss his findings with me after the report was issued and was highly knowledgeable about every item noted (and photographed) in his inspection report. I highly recommend A Light in the Attic for your inspection needs.

Matthew Newman

My experience with A Light in the Attic was wonderful. I was on a particular timeline for a home I had under contract, but it was advice to have a mold inspector come in and do some testing. John was able to meet the goal of the timeline, but also able to provide expert communication and knowledge in the area of mold and other information. My realtor/broker made the comment to me that she plans to use him in the future. If you're reading this review, I would consider using John for your home/mold inspections.

We had a fantastic experience with John from A Light in the Attic for our recent home inspection. John took a considerable amount of time to meticulously check every aspect of the property. He pointed out both major and minor issues, answering all of our questions clearly and patiently. The final report was comprehensive, complete with photos and clear descriptions, which made it easy to review. The peace of mind he provided is invaluable.

John is a very knowledgeable home inspector and is personable as well. He saved me a lot of money by inspecting my attic and negating information that I received from Terminix. I highly recommend him and I would certainly use him again.

John is the man. I was worried while researching inspectors because I didn't know what I was really looking for, but the first call with John was extremely reassuring, and that he wasn't there to scare us but share his knowledge with us. He was thorough, professional, and made excellent recommendations that won't break the bank. If you think you have mold in your home, this is the guy you need to call.

John did an outstanding job inspecting our home purchase. He was very thorough and took the time to explain all of his concerns with me. Being a contractor myself, I was very impressed with John‘s overall knowledge of home construction, and remedies for the issues with the home. Highly recommended!P.S. even if you are in construction, like myself, I still highly recommend getting an inspection. There’s just too many things to miss and John’s job is to catch everything.
