So, we had scheduled another company to do our home inspection, and an hour before the inspection they called and cancelled. We had driven 8 hours to make our inspection, and they didn't care. My agent contacted AmeriSpec, and they helped us out by coming out a little later in the afternoon and doing it! Robert Graves was fantastic! He did an extremely thorough job, and he didn't seem to mind my MANY questions. Before he left, he made sure we understood what he had found, remediation options and that all of our questions were answered. While we were extremely frustrated with that other company.... AmeriSpec took care of us. If you don't use them, you are messing up!!!! Robert also pointed out that AmeriSpec has a list of contractors they have vetted to make remediation a little bit easier.Posted on Google CateTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Inspector was very thorough and took the time to explain findings to us at a level we could understand. Recommended corrective actions were provided for findings even if they were not identified as “Major” issues. Job was done professionally and efficiently.Posted on Google Chenxi LiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith from AmeriSpec did an absolutely phenomenal job inspecting 903 Johnson Dr for my client! My client was a first-time homebuyer and was incredibly nervous before the inspection. Keith was exceptionally kind, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer every question and explained everything in thorough detail. As the inspection progressed, his detailed explanations completely eased my client's anxiety. My buyer became deeply familiar with the home and left the inspection feeling incredibly confident about making the purchase. Keith is a true professional, and my client absolutely loved working with him. I highly recommend Keith and AmeriSpec to anyone looking for a top-tier home inspector!Posted on Google Cindy LincolnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt from AmeriSpec did a great and thorough job inspecting a home we're interested in buying. Being that we are from out of state, it was important to have a good representative on our behalf. We feel confident with the results we received. And the office staff is amazing! So friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this company for all your home inspection needs, and more!Posted on Google Patricia ReyesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
