Services
My goal as your Connecticut home inspector is to first and foremost educate you, my client. It is not my job to make decisions for you, but instead to provide you with all the information I am able in order for you to make your own choices. I would never assume to know what is right for you, but together we can explore what you are comfortable accepting and what you are not.
JRV Home Inspection Services conducts a thorough, (typically 2.5 - 3 hours) home inspection consisting of a roof to basement evaluation of the readily accessible areas of the interior and exterior of your new home and its mechanical systems. We spend what ever time necessary to be sure you understand and are aware of the condition of the home prior to your purchase.

Before a Connecticut home-buyer has a home inspection, understanding environmental concerns such as radon, mold, asbestos and lead is crucial. Some of these concerns, lead and asbestos, can be an issue only with some what older homes while radon and mold can be a problem with any age home. It is first important to know weather the home inspector is required to inspect for these concerns.
Radon gas has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoking, and it is estimated to be responsible for 15,000 deaths annually. If you are buying a home it makes good sense to test for radon before closing. Most often radon testing is a part of the home inspection clause in the purchase contract.

Exceptional inspection done with the house. I really feel confident with my decision of having Jim do my inspection. Such a pleasure to work with and he was so knowledgeable. I have spoken to a few people about you and the integrity of JRV and they were very impressed with your thorough inspection report. Although his price beat everyone else's, he took his time with every detail of the house. I will definitely continue to spread the positive experience I had with JRV... Thanks Jim!

We had Jim from JRV do a home inspection, Level2 water testing , and Radon testing. He was absolutely excellent in the way he took his time with explaining and educating us on potential issues and gave us recommendations for improvements. the Home inspection also included bringing a pest prevention expert to check for any issues and provide his own recommendations. The inspection was very thorough with the report accompanied with photos and videos. An excellent service at a very competitive price that is absolutely worth it for the confidence and peace of mind needed when buying a house. Will definitely

I was very impressed with Jim from start to finish. He is ASHI certified and had no conflicts of interest. The inspection took about 3 hours and was a great education on current issues with the home and how to maintain it going forward. Jim was available after the inspection to promptly answer other questions the seller had.

Our JRV Home Inspection was great. Jim explained everything clearly from start to finish. He inspected every square inch of the property including climbing in the rafters and walking the roof. He provided clear photo and video evidence of all of his findings in the very easy to read inspection results. The results were sent to us the morning after the inspection which helped moved the buying process along.

Jim is knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and unbiased. I contacted him after some friends recommended his inspection services — he exceeded the reviews they gave me! He educated me along the way, noting what was industry standard as well as pointed out things to stay on top of in the near future. Definitely recommend! Thanks, Jim.

Recently I inherited my parent's home - and many people were making suggestions to me what needed to be fixed and what I ought to do with the property.
One contractor even insisted ALL the windows needed to be replaced, (approximate cost $3,800).
I decided to have James come and make an inspection of my house before spending any further money on home improvements.
He started outside, and systematically worked up to the attic. The inspection took about 3 hours. I was VERY impressed.
I found James to be friendly yet professional, efficient and practical. His advice was "spot on." James

I bought my first home 2 years ago. He walked me through the house as he did the inspection and let me ask every question I could think of and took the time to answer each one in detail. Was definitely on my side and did a great job explaining everything he was doing. On top of that the report he produces after he did the inspection was extremely thorough and I still reference it every so often. 5 stars definitely worth every penny! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an good inspector.

I found out about JRV home inspection from an internet search. This company was one of the four I had narrowed down after an intense research on BBB, Google, local pages, and many other websites. All four companies had a good standing, excellent reviews, no complaints, and were in business for at least five years.
The reason I chose this company over the others:
1. This was the only company that had a clear, detailed report sample available to see online, without even a request.
2. The owner, James Quarello also has a home inspection blog, which I read through, and found to be not only very

Awesome inspector! His discovery of an unstable foundation on the first house under contract saved us from some serious home buyer's heartache. We stopped the inspection within 15 minutes due to that deal-breaker and he didn't take us to town on the inspection cost. We were so grateful.
He inspected a second house for us after that, and I am happy to report that after a year of living there we have had no surprises thanks to a thorough inspection. Unlike one of the reviewers here, I appreciated his by-service pricing for each type of inspection work we chose, such as a price for radon testing

I, Dagny Eason, of Dagny's Real Estate, have been using James to inspect the homes for my buyers for 4 to 5 years. I have very very high expectations of my inspectors, as I bring them a lot of business with myself and my 8 agents. If they exceed my expectations, we will continue to bring them a lot of business. Jim does that for us. If we feel something needs to be checked additionally, or explained thoroughly to the new buyers, he will do that. Every inch of a home is inspected from the top of the roof to every inch of a crawl space. His knowledge of homes and systems is beyond any other inspector
