My clients have used Jay, with Advanced Home Inspecrions, to do their inspections for their home purchases. He is very thorough and communicates well with his customers. He goes above and beyond to make sure all questions are answered during, after, and even months after an inspection is performed. Definetly contact Jay for your next home inspection….you won’t be disappointed!

Advanced Home Inspections (AHI) and Jay Hooper's inspection was a joke. Major issues with the property were completely overlooked, and the report was so vague it might as well have been a template. When we tried to get clarification, Jay was unresponsive and unhelpful. Paid top dollar for a service that felt like a checkbox exercise. Wouldn't recommend AHI or Jay Hooper to anyone.

Used Jay at Advanced Home Inspections. Did a very thorough job and called to go over the inspection right after. Very knowledgeable and friendly, would highly recommend.

Had Jay do a home inspection of a home built in 1920s & as a first time home buyer, was rather intimidated by the whole process. Jay was efficient, caring and a great communicator throughout the process! He looked at everything and found quite a bit of stuff that we needed to fix in order for the home to be safe for me & my little girl. He is truly a Rockstar of inspectors & anyone would be so lucky to get him to inspect their home. While his report was long, it was easy to read because everything had pictures and descriptions. A+++++ job, thanks so much!!

This is the third home inspection Jay has done for me. As usual, he is very timely, professional and thorough. His reports always give the greatest insights on the small things you wouldn’t notice, and easily shows the big things that need addressed. I would give him 6 stars if I could.

Jay did an incredible job on the home inspection for the home that we are buying. He is incredibly detailed and takes the time to explain any questions you have in the report.

Wonderful experience! Jay's knowledge and experience and thoroughness saved me from spending $400,000 on a house that looked great on the surface but what I couldn't see, he could, and I ultimately had to walk away. I will definitely use him on the next one I find and I recommend him to others. Friendly, knowledge and experienced, and I had my report same day. Thank you, Jay!

Highly recommended! We hired Jay for an inspection and he was one of the most thorough inspectors we’ve ever had, and we have bought quite a few houses over the past few years. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He explained everything very thoroughly. Prompt, efficient and professional. You won’t regret hiring Jay.

Called Jay to do an inspection on a house we already bought. The first inspector missed a major issue, so we wanted to double check any issues with the house. Jay responded immediately and was out within a couple days. Took the time to explain everything he was doing and answered all my questions. Good pricing too.
Thanks

I highly recommend Jay for home inspections. He approach this entire transaction with an honesty and integrity that is so often lacking in business transactions today. His inspection was thorough reporting even the smallest details like a stripped screw in an access panel. The report was clear and straightforward. Anyone needing a home inspection would be well served hiring Jay.

This is the second time I've used AHI. I find the team to be extremely thorough and detailed in their inspection. Things that I did not notice, and I'm pretty observant, were brought to my attention and explained as either something I should have addressed or something that is "normal" for a situation.
Since I'm older, hopefully I won't move again, but if I do, I'll ask my realtor to engage AHI.

Both Jay and Todd were friendly and willing to answer any and all questions we had. They gave an overview of what they found on the house we were looking at and followed up with a detailed report with pictures. Would not hesitate to use them in the future or recommend them to anyone needing an inspection.

These men did a wonderful job inspecting a home that we were interested in purchasing. They went above and beyond. They inspected our current home, years ago, and were amazing then too. We will continue to give them our business!
Thanks, Jay and Todd!

Todd got back to us with some of our questions rather quickly. Though many of the things noted are "visible" the understanding of codes (underbelly, water tank, roof and such) was valuable.

Carlee Finucan

Todd was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. On time and allowed us to ask as many questions after he walked us through his findings. We received the results via email immediately and had no problem booking in a timely manner. Would highly recommend.

Advanced Home Inspection was recommended to use for our Manufacturer Home inspection and it was a great experience. The report was detailed and the inspector also talked through it. Great service, could not be happier!

We used AHI for our recent home inspection on a property we are buying. Todd did a great job and was very thorough. We had another company do the previous home we bought and they did a good job, but they weren’t nearly as thorough. The report given by AHI was extremely detailed. I had some questions and concerns and he went out of his way to explain and point out any issues. He also detailed a lot of thing to look out for steps needed to correct any concerns. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.

Sean Turpin

Amazing inspection report. All potential and current issues were identified and ensured the home we bought was in the best condition or all issues were listed. They found even the smallest of issues present in our home and we were able to negotiate the price of the home saving us thousands.

We Answer Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing questions
1. What is the average roof replacement cost for a residential home?
+-

The average roof replacement cost for a residential home typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on factors such as roof size, chosen materials, roof pitch, and labor rates in your area. Premium materials or complex designs may increase the price.

2. How much does it usually cost to replace the roof of a commercial building?

3. What factors affect the overall roof repair cost?
+-

Several factors influence roof repair cost, including the extent of the damage, roof accessibility, material type, labor costs, and whether it’s a general repair or an emergency fix. Minor repairs can start around $150–$400, while major repairs may exceed $1,500.

4. What is the typical roof leak repair cost, and how is it calculated?
+-

Roof leak repair cost generally ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the size and location of the leak, the materials required, and labor intensity. Complex leaks involving structural repairs or interior damage will cost more.

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?
+-

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

2. How long does roof replacement take?
+-

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
