I just wish we could get Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes to do the inspections. In our first house, they missed the roof leak that the previous owners didn't tell us about that caused significant mold in our kitchen, as well as scary foundation issues uncovered when we were considering an addition. In this house, the crumbling chimneys should have been noted. And, we did go with reputable places.
