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. If you need a reliable and detailed home inspection, look no further.

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.

I recently had the opportunity to work with John for a 11 month home inspection, and I'm incredibly pleased with the service provided. I was looking for a reliable inspection to ensure peace of mind, especially with the upcoming first year warranty. Inspector John was thorough, professional, and made sure to cover all aspects of the property with an eye toward the first year warranty's coverage and what might need attention. He was very detailed in his assessments, identifying both minor and major concerns that I should be aware of within the warranty period. His comprehensive report included clear explanations of any issues, along with specific recommendations. What stood out the most was his patience in answering all my questions and making sure I understood everything. His insights on how to handle any potential claims with the warranty were especially helpful, giving me confidence in my house condition. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INSPECTOR JOHN to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable home inspector. BRAVO ZULU to John.

After having three different roof inspections by two construction companies and my insurance and getting a different story from each of them I decided I needed somebody who was independent unbiased and worked for me. I did some digging and found a certification agency that certifies inspectors for roof inspections and found several in my area. A Light in the Attic was the first one that I called and John Rhodes was a great guy to talk too so I explained my situation and what I was looking for. Being able to hire him for a specific inspection and he not being a part of a construction company or insurance company was fantastic. He showed up on time he was incredibly thorough and very receptive to answering my questions and very descriptive in what he was doing why he was doing it and what it meant. Within 24 hours he provided me a written report that was incredibly well documented and descriptive. I feel very reassured after the work he has done for me because now I know what my expert says it's wrong and needs to be done and he isn't trying to deny my claim or sell me a roof. I would highly recommend him for any kind of inspection service because he was even able to point out several other things that he noted in passing. For my roof though I feel better equipped and better prepared to handle something that felt overwhelming before.

I contacted John several weeks ago to get a quote for my home inspection. Once we reached further along in our home buying process I contacted John again to set up an inspection date.

It’s a 10 out of 10 for me. I will definitely use him again. I suggest you do to should you need inspection services. Thank you John for being A-1.

John Rhodes at A Light in the Attic did a wonderful job inspecting our new home! He is extremely thorough and his attention to detail is extraordinary. After the inspection, he explained the things he found and what we would have to do to move forward. He was very patient with us while we asked him many questions and he explained everything to us in a way that was understandable to the layman. Additionally, the inspection report that followed had photographs showing exactly what he found and what would need to be done to correct the issues. He has repeatedly told us that we can contact him for any other questions that may arise in the future. His price was very reasonable and his service was invaluable to us. We will refer him to anyone who needs a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of their home.

I've used John at A Light in the Attic twice, both times extremely pleased with the thoroughness of his reports. He has inspected two properties for me, one of which was an older home (built in the '70s) and the other a new build. Both times he found actionable items and presented them in a way that did not escalate emotions.John has always been prompt in both correspondence and arrival, and has utmost respect for the properties he inspects. I highly recommend and will gladly do business with again.

I had a great experience with John. He was on time and quite thorough with his inspection. The owners chose to be in the house while he was inspecting and he was very thoughtful in his approach while going through the house. Upon completion he took time to review every detail (he was quite detailed). Coming from out of state I was not as familiar with local laws and codes, but John was very knowledgeable and helped explain. His official report came back in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend John’s services to anyone looking for a quality inspector.
