AmeriSpec completed a home inspection within the exact time slot allotted to me. Very pleased with the ease of scheduling and a reschedule that I required. My technician, Matt Shanks, could not have been more personable, professional and patient as we walked through the process. I have such a better understanding of how my perspective home functions solely due to Matt’s explanations. When the “feet on the ground” represents the business SOP as Matt has done for me, I highly recommend AmeriSpec and Matt!!
