An agent just forwarded this email to me and I thought I would share it with you all.
I especially like the area they serve. All for $100. I don’t think James Craft is even licensed.

He is a licensed residential contractor who cant make it in the construction business, so he has to try and find a way to get people to call for estimates. He then does the estimate (inspection) for which he charges $100 and then tries to get the repair contract.
*Recommend by a realtor, 2000+ sq ft for $250 with wind mit and four point for free! The home had rafters, not trusses so they could not do a wind mit or Four point. *
The customer is having me do the wind mit and four point, the realtor is getting an earful. LOL
No Mike, I don’t know him.
I just use my superhuman investigative powers and check his license information with the DBPR. Maybe I should look yours up to and let all your dark secrets be revealed, what say you?

Looks good to me. :)
Sort of like someone doing a mold inspection for $250.
You get what you pay for.
Bring it, I have nothing to hide. I am proud that I have earned the title of Florida Licensed General Contractor. I think it is bs that you are running your mouth about a guy you know nothing about.:roll:
The easy way to find info is www.myfloridalicense.com
How would you like it if the guy just started assuming untrue things about you and was saying you are just angry because you have no verifiable experience and just started calling yourself a home inspector years ago and now are grandfathered in. What if he lied about you and said you just inventory a house and use as many words as possible to make big fat reports?
I think that would suck if he started lying and assuming things about you. OH YEAH HE IS A CONTRACTOR so he must be bad. What say you?
I agree with Aubrey on this one. The amount of overhead can in no way be recouped by only charging these rates without picking up added services such as a re-roof, hurricane shutters, or changing windows.
And, as I previously stated, I don’t think that James Craft is even licensed.
I looked up the name on the site and he came up as a contractor. I used 2 out of the 4 names and guessed right it was a 4 part name like-jim slim smith jones or something. www.myfloridalicense.com
Reece, he could be working for the licensed contractor?

Thanks Joe, but Tarpon springs is 169 miles north of us. Been there twice in the last month but we charge them $1,000 each time to do a swab and take three photos. Takes someone out of the mix, time is money.
I suggested some other CIE’s in Tampa area. He said he would call back if not happy with them.
A CIE or CIEC can get E&O for Defective/chinese Drywall. (he was a lawyer)
Another one to add to the ever-growing collection.
It is like shooting fish…on a side walk!
Temperature: Hot93 Degrees :mrgreen::mrgreen:
Some attic areas were inaccessible due to lack of permanently installed walkways, the possibility of damage to insulation, low height and/or stored items. These areas are excluded from this inspection.
All vents should have a small piece of shingle applied to the base of all stack vents, this will seal and prvent driving rain to intrude the vents. Cost estimate: $ 55.00 Boot installation
And instead of letting his clients know that the duct work should be strapped and stapled, replacement of the failed Owl-Flex duct work would have been a better recommendation.
I think I heard about that guy, I got a call for a 2400 SQ FT+ full inspection with pool and he quoted 300$ with a wind mit and 4 point on a 1996 home. I was asked why my fee was higher. First I explained that they did not need a 4 Point and that I was not a construction company trying to pick up inspection business (no offense John).
