AKG Inspection Services, Inc.

They did a very thorough job, testing everything in the house, and explaining their findings. They showed how to work different things that were new to us. They pulled permits on the house to see what was constructed with and without permits.

Not good, I still have a leakage at a different place and they are know saying I need to fix the Tile Roof. Left me hanging with the leakage. They would be able to fix it as they did fix 2 additional leakage that showed up.

Service was great. During and after the inspection process, Joe made himself available to answer all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision about purchasing the home. Because we were so happy with his inspection services, we then chose to use his services when we needed to make some roof repairs. Again, we were very satisfied with the work and with joe and his team's assistance and availability throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend!

Joe was very prompt in coming out to give quote. Was thorough in explaining what we were buying and our options. Helped us understand the process and was quick to follow-up in the quoting process. The only part of the process that happened that differed from what he told us was that it took longer from start to finish because he did not get the permit from Pinecrest. This took 3 weeks instead of the 1 week. The job from permit to finished job (inspection included) was 2 weeks. Workers were clean and they completed all the work while we were out of town.

Our insurance was requiring a roof recertification to continue coverage. Joe was easy to schedule and came out on time. He already had the form that was needed and was able to answer all of my questions about our roof and the process to complete the certification. Joe was friendly and professional and would recommend him to anyone. We already received renewal from the insurance company and all paperwork provided by AKG was accepted no issues. Thanks Joe and team!

I would highly recommend this company. Very detailed report, great customer service and was very accommodating with my schedule.

He has been doing my work for over 30 years as well, we are a real estate attorney practice so he does good work. He is a good local company.

Joe was excellent. He was referred by my real estate agent and I bought a membership to Angie's List so that I could check out his rating. I was pleased to see that he had an A so I hired him. He was early and already on the roof by the time I arrived. I LOVE that! We went through the whole house and I literally followed him everywhere asking questions. He did not mind all the questions and had answers right away. My husband knows a lot about the trades and they spoke about all the details that I have no clue about. both my husband and I give Joe an A. He is a true professional, pleasant, honest and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend AKG! I actually had a few broken tiles on my roof and I hired them to fix it and they did an amazing job. He even recommended someone for a broken window and mold inspection that were equally as good! There is no question in my mind about hiring him again for any job he is insured for. Excellent A++.

The Inspector was very knowledgeable and did a thorough job of inspecting the house for termite infestation. He was careful and noted the presence of past minor damage and old termite signs. No live termites were found, and he went the extra mile when the loan company had additional questions. Although the report AKG issued was in the standard, state-approved format, the loan officer wanted clarification, a rather unusual request since the document was thorough and complete - and very standard. I appreciated the extra effort needed to resolve the issue and I would recommend AKG highly for inspection services.

Joe apparently estimated a competitive price to replace my flat roof, as it was a point of negotiation for house sale, and the seller did not challenge the estimated cost of the work. Joe outlined some risks I could mitigate by covering furniture and keeping kids out of the house for a while. The project was completed more quickly than I expected, and was carefully done.

Joe set expectations right up front. What he will be doing, what he already did (I showed up late), and advised that inspection time was the right time to ask detailed questions (while everyone had access to the site). I followed Joe around during the inspection asking ridiculous questions which he answered professionally. He presented positive aspects of the property as well ask risky elements including telltale signs the property was inspected more frequently than the sellers disclosed. Joe presented a preliminary report immediately including remediation estimates/vendors and a written one in at most 2 business days. I did have follow-on questions which Joe answered himself over the phone. Ultimately the risks outweighed the positives, the seller was unwilling to negotiate to meet in the middle, so we moved on. I’ve used Joe’s inspection services and roofing services since. Even Joe’s recommended vendors have been winners (e.g. Bug Busters for pest control). If Angie’s list allows, I’ll elaborate about the other AKG jobs.

This was our second home inspection with AKG. Like the last time, Joe set expectations right up front. What he will be doing and advised that inspection time was the right time to ask detailed questions (while everyone had access to the site). I followed Joe around during the inspection asking ridiculous questions which he answered professionally. He presented positive aspects of the property as well ask risky elements including telltale signs the property was inspected more frequently than the sellers disclosed. Joe presented a preliminary report immediately including remediation estimates/vendors and a written one in at most 2 business days. Inspection report in hand, we were able to effectively negotiate a fair deal with the sellers to account for ~$15K of surprise repair issues. I did have follow-on questions which Joe answered himself over the phone. I’ve used Joe’s roofing services since. Even Joe’s recommended vendors have been winners (e.g. Bug Busters for pest control). I’ll elaborate about the other AKG jobs in subsequent postings I’m about many months late getting to!

I am a new member of Angies List and have been very happy with the results. As for AKG I have used there services for my clients as a Real Estate Attorney for at least 25 years. He is prompt, thorough and professional and I have never had a client complain. These reviews have assisted me in those areas where I am looking for a service so thought it would be helpful to add a review of my own for a great reliable service. In addition to inspection services Joe did the Insurance Mitigation Report on my own home.

I am currently selling a house by the Hammocks, and during the title search process, I found out that I inherited an old open roof permit from Hurricane Andrew. An acquaintance recommended I contact AKG Inspection Services to help me close the permit. Mr. Joe Hernandez got back to me right away to schedule an estimate. He was very helpful in that he worked around my schedule so that I missed the least amount of time off from work. I explained to Mr. Hernandez the urgency of closing out the roof permit, including any necessary repairs that need to be done to the roof, and paperwork needed (Rand R report) so that the permit can be closed, and I can proceed to closing on the sale on my house. He said his company can do both, the repairs and the paperwork in an expedited manner, again so that everything will be in order for the closing. In the end, I am very happy with AKG Inspection Services and Mr. Hernandez because they did the repairs fast on my roof, and gave me the paperwork to close out the permit successfully. The Miami-Dade County roof inspector came out this past Monday, and the roof passed inspection. The old permit is now closed, and I am a happy camper! I will definitely use AKG Inspection Services (they also do roof work) in the future. Thank you for all your help Mr. Hernandez.

Joe arrived about 10 minutes early. I was still on my way to the house so he told me not to worry and take my time he would begin on the exterior of the house first. When I arrived Joe was very good and showing me everything he had found so far . I continued to follow Joe around the house and he pointed out to me issues as he found them. The inspection was about 2 hours long ...

Joe Hernandez from AKG Inspection Service was sent to my house by my insurance company to determine the validity of my claim after hurricane Wilma. I was surprised to see his company listed here as a provider of roofing. His report let Citizens Insurance deny compensation. Finally after 16 months of persistance with the State Of Florida Department Of Financial Service and Hurricane Wilma Mitigation, my insurance company paid my claim. Angies list exists because of companys such as AKG Inspection.

The repairs seem to be ok (we have hired them four times for various repairs). Our complaint: as soon as the roofers left we noticed that most of the fruit had disappeared from an avocado tree that we had been carefully nurturing since last year's hurricanes. Note that the tree was not visible from the street, the tree is behind a locked gate and the fruit was only reachable from the roof or by using a long ladder (such as the kind used brought by roofers). My previous experiences with this company were satisfactory, but now I definitely would NOT recommend this company.

THIS COMPANY WAS VERY PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. I HAVE USED THEM IN THE PAST AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS FINISHED THE JOB AHEAD OF TIME. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO OTHERS.
