“My husband and I have known Jim Horkey for 10+years. During that time, Jim has completed several home renovation projects for us –big and small. He’s always completed each project with professionalism and efficiency and we’ve been highly pleased with the finished result. He’s very knowledgeable and guided us through each renovation. He has a keen eye for detail and is methodical in his approach. We’ve recommended Jim to others and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him as a house inspector.”

Gerrine & Chris L.

“I have known Jim for a number of years and always found him to be personable and well-mannered. He is a great communicator and very friendly in any of our dealings. He provides a detail to his work and never cuts corners or rushes to get something done just to get it finished. If there is an issue with the job, Jim is very honest in his assessment and will take the time to think of viable options and solutions that are satisfactory to the customer. He is always eager to help his clients the best he can but he will never compromise his safety or that of his clients to get the job done. I can honestly say anyone who hires Jim will find he is a hardworking man of integrity.”
