Douglas Gillette was fantastic! He was extremely thorough, pointed out and explained things during inspection and even sent a full report complete with photos to my email. He was also very personable which made it feel like you were dealing with someone you already knew and trusted.

Doug Gillette from Anderson Home Inspection was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire home inspection process. As first time home buyers we had a ton of questions which he answered poignantly and in a manner in which we could understand. He was especially thorough, and was very fun and charismatic. He has done over 15,000 home inspections in his career, and will be who we will refer to family and friends in the future. Thanks Doug!

We contacted Anderson Home Inspection and arranged an appointment within a few days. Doug Gillette arrived on time and got right to work. Doug was very professional and through in his inspection. He walked the yard around the house and checked the foundation, the drainage and the roof to mention a few things. He told us the positive results, as well as, the results that needed out attention. The inspection was through on the outside and the inside of our house and also included attention to plumbing, electrical, windows, garage, fireplace, and decks to mention only a few categories of review. We were given a complete detailed report on all aspects of the inspection. All of our questions were answered and Doug was very helpful in his expertise. I would highly recommend Doug Gillette and the Anderson Home Inspection.

It was great. Doug was very thorough (e.g. when we arrived, he had already started and was looking at the roof). He also was really good about making sure we understood what he was seeing as he went along. He was also very attentive to detail (e.g. he pointed out that the coolant line on the HVAC unit was missing some of its insulation). In addition to being knowledgeable and thorough, Doug also was easy to get along with and kept the inspection interesting and lively.

I would highly recommend Doug!

The reviews are spot on.  Doug is the best.  He explains everything and tells it like it is.  He is very knowledgeable and pragmatic regarding everything.  He was on-time, courteous and full of information.  We got the report on the same day and the Radon report 3 days later as promised.  I will be using his services again.  Gerry from NJ recommends Doug.

Doug arrived early and had already started by the time I arrived. He was very thorough, readily answering questions and telling me about every step of the inspection. He took me through the entire report and a had it in my email folder when I got home.

This is the second time I've used Anderson Home Inspection, but the first time for my own home purchase. Doug inspected a home purchase for my daughter 5 years ago and I knew I would be calling him again if I ever needed a home inspection. Doug is thorough, informative and knowledgable. He explains everything he's doing in layman terms. Working in a methodical manner the house was inspected inside and out. He left small arrow shaped stickys on some areas so a repair person would have no problem locating the problem area. The computer program Doug used allowed him to email a comprehensive inspection report with large clear pictures accompanied by detailed descriptions of problems as soon as the inspection was completed. This was money well spent!

The inspection turned up concerns we didn't expect, so we are very glad to have learned about them. We also feel much more educated and informed. Highly recommend.

We arrived 15 minutes before our appointment time to find Doug already there.  He checked EVERYTHING he possibly could; inside and outside the property.  Very organized and detail oriented.  Would definitely use Doug in the future.  Highly recommend.

Doug is fantastic! He climbed up on the roof. He crept around in the crawl space. No imperfection could hide from his expert eyes! He explained everything we wanted to know about what needed replacing, what needed watching and how to maintain all the house systems in the future. His written report is detailed and has pictures so you can refer to it later as a guide.  He really knows his business and has the certifications to prove it. Not only that, he is charming and personable so the usually grueling experience is actually pleasant and enjoyable. I cannot recommend Doug Gillette highly enough. If I could, I would give him a rating of A+!

Doug did an incredible job as our home inspector for a short sale we are buying.
He was super early and had already started on the exterior inspection before I arrived. He was competent, personable and has the mentality of a teacher. I walked around with him during the inspection and he explained every little thing to me and even gave me lots of tips on what to do in the future. He also let me know that if I had any questions, issues or problems to contact him for help. His report is thorough and extremely user friendly. He goes above and beyond to ensure that you are comfortable with the current standing of your potential house.
I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a home inspector that is going to do a terrific job, for a competitive rate and make sure you know all the good and bad things that you have in your house before you sign on the dotted line.


I wouldn?t go anywhere else for a home inspector.


I would use him again tomorrow if I needed to and will recommend him to anyone I know that needs an inspection done.
AAAAA+++++++

Thanks to Doug he saved my wife and I from making a life long bad purchase. His knowledge and through inspection was informative and honest. His reports were easy to read and understand. Doug had our interest in mind while doing the inspection as his client not the selling realtor or the purchasing realtor interests which was just what we needed. He was early at the inspection, answered any and all questions I had throughout the inspection and was even willing to teach as he went through the house so as to know somethings to look for as we move forward finding the perfect home. His price was the lowest of three competitors beating out both inspectors that are both rated high on Angies list and ones our realtor recommended. If you want an honest inspections with a knowledgeable individual with a straight forward approach then Doug is the right man for the job. I have his number saved and will call him again for home inspections when needed. Thanks Doug for again saving my wife and I from a  life long purchase mistake.

I found several things after I bought the condo that the inspector didn't find on his inspection. Out of 4 thermostats 2 had to be replaced. Total cost for that was $300 dollars. A toilet that he said was working had a 45 minute fill time after it was flushed and I had to have that repaired.
Response from ANDERSON HOME INSPECTION
"Not sure what happened since March, but 8 months ago during the inspection, the thermostats and toilet all worked as designed."

Provider was extremely knowledgable, polite and professional.  He was early to the appointment, very attentive to detail and questions.  He produced and delivered the report the same day as the inspection.  A pleasure to work with!

I cannot speak highly enough of Doug. He was prompt, thorough and took the time to answer all of the numerous questions that we had as first time home-buyers. We are purchasing a 100+ year old rowhouse that needs some tlc and Doug left no stone unturned in his inspection. He took photos of each issue, wrote up a detailed report and reviewed everything with us before leaving. We left feeling like we were going in to our purchase as fully-informed as possible.
