Tuftonboro Building Inspector

Jack, code enforcer, can be your best friend during construction.
He is the person will insure that the GC does the job to code.
I suspect the rumor of being difficult was/is being told by peeps that got caught trying to take shortcuts--to put it kindly

He is only doing his job and if you hear otherwise... someone was in the wrong.

like others said, he is just making sure your projects meet code requirements.
I am a contractor and have worked projects on cow island and he is just like any inspector...just making sure the project is done correct.

if youve heard rumors, then they are likely from a contractor who isnt doing what he should. a good contractor knows the code requirements and will usually exceed the code requirements.

best of luck with your project and if you need any help, feel free to contact me.

I,ve done a few jobs in Tufftonboro (a new house and a rebuild on the lake)
and Jack has been very good to work with, Some building inspectors can be hard to get along with, Ive found if you ask qustions and do things right you have no suprises or problems (most of the time) Be up front with them.

Let's remember: As above, Jack works on your behalf to protect you from a Contractor who's not building to code.
Talk with him early and often. Be completely upfront with everything. You'll get along fine.
