She also recommended Shawn as an inspector. Both recommendations were excellent. The entire process to reserve the inspection was smooth. Shawn inspected the property and walked me through the entire process. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He pointed out some of the issues with property. We received our reports quickly. Great service overall. I recommend AmeriSpec for your home inspection and definitely Shawn as an inspector.
