House on inside needs painting new appliances I have till next Saturday to make offer and can get inside at any time to inspect . Should I contact a home inspector or contractor to find out all the problems and cost of them and can some one suggest a good contractor or inspector in Springfield Ma Any help on how to pursue this would be Helpful Can not respond until tonight because I am heading out to work Thank You

I know Bob Mulloy, at ALLSAFE Home Inspection has a stellar reputation, but may be more expensive than other area inspectors.

JigSaw Home Inspection, I have worked with personally and thought they did a great, thorough job, and the price was very reasonable. They saved me a ton of money on a house with some not so honest sellers. I will never not get a home inspection. Well worth the money.
