Amerispec just did a whole home inspection pre sale and it really helped me to see what needed fixing before sale. Very through, from roof to basement. Shawn Thomas was my inspector and he explained everything. Wonderful work!!! At a reasonable cost!!!

Inspector Shawn Thomas was knowledgeable, personable and professional. He was quick to respond to our questions and point out areas of concern and how to fix them when ready. We never felt rushed at any time. Meghan Raughley was very patient with pre-inspection of explaining what to expect on the day of Inspection. Her kindness was appreciated. We will recommend others to use this company in the future. Thanks for a job well done.

The inspector was extremely professional. He took his time with us, and every question we asked was answered with clear explanations — especially when breaking down the difference between structural issues and cosmetic ones. My husband and I truly appreciated how thorough he was, including the way he explained the rules and laws he must follow under Delaware’s requirements. Our biggest concern going in was making sure he had no connection or partnership with the builder. So when he said the house was built well and solid, we listened closely. Even when we expressed our worries, he addressed each one without hesitation. Being new to Delaware, we felt like we were at the mercy of God and the inspector’s word, and he gave us confidence through both his knowledge and his honesty. His personality showed even more when our dog kept walking past him — he would stop, talk to her, and give her a hug every time. Anyone who shows that kind of genuine kindness is hard not to trust.

I needed a home inspection to come up with my "To Do" list for the company that built my house. AmeriSpec was recommended to me by a friend who is a local Realtor. And it was a fabulous recommendation. The inspector was knowledgeable, called before arriving, did a thorough job, reviewed his findings, and delivered a detailed report that evening. He was factual, not an alarmist. As a Realtor in a different state, I have attended 100s of home inspections. This was one of the very best!

e had an excellent experience with our home inspection. Clint was extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain his findings, answer our questions, and make sure we understood which items were important and why. The final inspection report was detailed, well organized, and easy to understand, which made it much easier for us to determine what needed our immediate attention. Purchasing a home is a significant decision, and having someone as thorough and experienced as Clint involved in the process gave us a great deal of confidence. We would absolutely recommend Clint to anyone purchasing a home and needing a quality, professional inspection. Thank you, Clint, for a job well done! Mike & Jeannette

I highly recommend using AmeriSpec for your home inspection needs! We had the opportunity to have Shawn Thomas as our inspector twice, and both experiences were excellent. He was extremely thorough, highly knowledgeable, and truly takes his job seriously. Shawn did an outstanding job, and we felt very confident in his expertise and the inspection he provided. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable home inspector!
