AMERISPEC HOME INSPECTION SERVICE

I thought I had a thorough home inspection due to the length of time the inspector spent at the home I was about to purchase. Since I've been here, I've learned I was dead wrong. 1) the basement floods every time it rains. I don't think this house, built in 1954, all of a sudden sprung a leak. 2) The hot water heater was 16 years old and didn't have a pressure release system, therefore it emptied onto the side of my house chipping away the paint and seeping back into the basement. 3) The ductwork is not up to code 4) the electrical is not up to code (to be fair, this is the only thing he pointed out however he didn't tell me the extent of how bad it really is). 5) the drain pipe in half of my sink is too long and isn't even sealed to the sink, therefore I cannot use half of my sink without all the water pouring into the cabinet below. 6) one of the support poles for the whole house is buckling, and it isn't event attached to the beam - someone just kept adding shims and pieces of wood to hold the floor up. Because of the inspector's gross negligence, I'm spending over $18,000 on repairs I would have walked away from or asked the seller to pay for.

It went well. The inspector was very professional.

Jerry arrived at our home exactly when he said he would. He called me about 45 minutes before he was done with the inspection and asked me if I wanted to meet him at the house to go through his findings. He was very thorough with his inspection. He went over every detail with me that was going to be on his report and gave suggestions about things that were of importance and that I needed to look into. He complimented my future home and was very courteous while he was there. I will definitely be using them in the future. Thanks!!

Some things are worth the money. Amerispec was a bit more than other inspectors we shopped for, but Don Norton was detailed, patient, and responsive. I highly recommend Amerispec and would encourage others to use them for their home inspection.

Amerispec provided a complete inspection report that was easy to follow with full color photos. The inspector walked me through the report and andswered all my questions. They also give you a home maintenance manual that is great for first time home owners. They arrange a free termite inspection, and I purchased the radon test for an extra fee. They were fast, respsonsive and gave a very rigorous inspection to the property. I highly recommend them.

The job was done according to EPA standards. I was lucky that a friend who used to be in the radon mitigation business and who had done work for me in another house found David Bigham and recommended him to me. It would behoove a person needing radon testing and/or mitigation to find a person who has received EPA sponsored training and agrees to use those training guidelines to carry out the job.

Very good and thourgh

I have nothing bad to say about Ameri Spec Home Inspection. They did a great job of walking through with me and explaining everything they were doing. I work in realty so I recommend these folks to my clients as well.
