As a second-time home owner, I was blown away by the AmeriSpec service. From the thoroughness of the inspection and attention to detail to the real-time education on home ownership and maintenance, the AmeriSpec team made sure I understood the bones of my new home and how to properly care for it before and after moving in. Not only do I feel like I know the state of the home I'm buying, but I feel relatively confident that I can maintain and care for it over the next several years.

Very informative, detailed, and thorough josh feeney2025-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AmeriSpec did a fantastic job at our home inspection. I was a real estate broker in Chicago for 24 years and have been to hundreds of home inspections. Our home inspector was very kind, easy to talk to, did a fantastic job of pointing out inspection items as he made his way through our future home, as well as recapped his findings at the end. He made us feel very secure in our decision to purchase this home. Hope Henry2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My realtor was impressed as well. 10/10. KC C2024-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
