+ -1 moreDoug Gillette from Anderson Home Inspection was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire home inspection process. As first time home buyers we had a ton of questions which he answered poignantly and in a manner in which we could understand. He was especially thorough, and was very fun and charismatic. He has done over 15,000 home inspections in his career, and will be who we will refer to family and friends in the future. Thanks Doug!

+ -1 moreWe contacted Anderson Home Inspection and arranged an appointment within a few days. Doug Gillette arrived on time and got right to work. Doug was very professional and through in his inspection. He walked the yard around the house and checked the foundation, the drainage and the roof to mention a few things. He told us the positive results, as well as, the results that needed out attention. The inspection was through on the outside and the inside of our house and also included attention to plumbing, electrical, windows, garage, fireplace, and decks to mention only a few categories of review. We were given a complete detailed report on all aspects of the inspection. All of our questions were answered and Doug was very helpful in his expertise. I would highly recommend Doug Gillette and the Anderson Home Inspection.

+ -1 moreIt was great. Doug was very thorough (e.g. when we arrived, he had already started and was looking at the roof). He also was really good about making sure we understood what he was seeing as he went along. He was also very attentive to detail (e.g. he pointed out that the coolant line on the HVAC unit was missing some of its insulation). In addition to being knowledgeable and thorough, Doug also was easy to get along with and kept the inspection interesting and lively. I would highly recommend Doug!
Description of Work: Doug did a home inspection for us (including not only examining the house, but also walking us through everything he found, as well as sending us a detailed summary with pictures and explanation).

+ -1 moreWell-informed, helpful, courteous, professional and comprehensive are adjectives for Doug Gillette's home inspection. I have an older home, so I wanted to know what needs attention. Boy! Did Doug let me know...which I appreciate! He went over the report with me in easy to understand terms and write-ups. Photos were clear. My report was emailed to me before he left. It's pdf so very easy to print out and understand. He was punctual (actually there when before I returned home for my apt). He answered my questions. I also really liked how he offered tips. After reading the report, my realtor said "Wow! He's so thorough. He checked everything!" I plan to use him when I buy a house and I'll refer him to others.

He was on-time, courteous and full of information. We got the report on the same day and the Radon report 3 days later as promised. I will be using his services again. Gerry from NJ recommends Doug.

+ -1 moreThis is the second time I've used Anderson Home Inspection, but the first time for my own home purchase. Doug inspected a home purchase for my daughter 5 years ago and I knew I would be calling him again if I ever needed a home inspection. Doug is thorough, informative and knowledgable. He explains everything he's doing in layman terms. Working in a methodical manner the house was inspected inside and out. He left small arrow shaped stickys on some areas so a repair person would have no problem locating the problem area. The computer program Doug used allowed him to email a comprehensive inspection report with large clear pictures accompanied by detailed descriptions of problems as soon as the inspection was completed. This was money well spent!

+ -1 moreDoug Gillette was great. He was professional, timely, and very informative. He took the necessary time to look at everything, gave us suggestions, and explained why it should be corrected. Doug went over his findings one by one in detail and with pictures. What we were reviewing we received as an email before he left. The inspection report is in details and very easy to follow. We will use Anderson Home Inspections and hopefully Doug again on future purchases. You will be happy if you call them. Mention you are member of Angie's List and you will get a discount.

+ -1 moreThe service was excellant and I plan to use Doug again.
Description of Work: Doug arrived at the home inspection exactly on time. He gave the roof a very thourough inspection. He completely checked the outside of the house. As he was doing the inspection he took multiple pictures and explained each and every problem with me. He also shared useful hints about "things he would do if it was his house"! He then went inside and checked out the kitchen. He tested all the appliances to be sure they worked, even ran a cycle of the dishwasher! He completely inspected the bathrooms and even found a minor leak that we hadn't! He was very open to any and all questions we had. At the end os the inspection he showed us a presentation he had assembled listing all the results of the inspection. Any issues that he found were clearly detailed in photographs, as well as verbally. Finally he e-mailed me the report. It is in PDF format so I can easily print it for future reference. I think I may have put this info in the wrong box but it all is absolutely true. I have already recommended Doug to a friend. Thank you, Doug for the great service!

He explained his process and what the report would contain then was efficient and thorough doing the inspection and was eager to explain what was seeing and provide tips for future maintenance as we watched the inspection. His inspection report was detailed with plenty of pictures as well as emailed before even leaving the property.

+ -1 moreDoug is fantastic! He climbed up on the roof. He crept around in the crawl space. No imperfection could hide from his expert eyes! He explained everything we wanted to know about what needed replacing, what needed watching and how to maintain all the house systems in the future. His written report is detailed and has pictures so you can refer to it later as a guide. He really knows his business and has the certifications to prove it. Not only that, he is charming and personable so the usually grueling experience is actually pleasant and enjoyable. I cannot recommend Doug Gillette highly enough. If I could, I would give him a rating of A+!

+ -1 moreAs a practicing attorney in three states, I can tell you that you would be an idiot to purchase a home without a home inspection conducted by a licensed inspector. I can also tell you that you would be a fool if you are buying in an area serviced by Doug Gillette and fail to use him. He is capable, patient and informative. I recommend Anderson Home Inspection without reservation. Thanks Doug!

+ -1 moreDoug did a great job as our home inspector for a property we are buying. He was early to our appointment and had already started the inspection when we arrived. I found Doug to be very knowledgeable, personable and easy to understand in explaining items relating to the property. The home has a radient heat system, and I was pleased to find that Doug was familiar with this type of system, and he gave us good advice regarding this area. He did not hesitate to point out both good and bad items during the inspection, and I appreciated his candor in discussing things we found. Although he was working for me, I found him to be very forthcoming about items without appearing to be trying to ?tell me what I want to hear?. I never felt rushed or pressured. Bottom line, I feel comfortable with purchasing this house. Written report was timely and thorough, and covered everything we saw during the inspection. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough inspection at a reasonable rate, and will gladly refer my friends to him.

+ -1 moreDoug did an incredible job as our home inspector for a short sale we are buying. He was super early and had already started on the exterior inspection before I arrived. He was competent, personable and has the mentality of a teacher. I walked around with him during the inspection and he explained every little thing to me and even gave me lots of tips on what to do in the future. He also let me know that if I had any questions, issues or problems to contact him for help. His report is thorough and extremely user friendly. He goes above and beyond to ensure that you are comfortable with the current standing of your potential house. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a home inspector that is going to do a terrific job, for a competitive rate and make sure you know all the good and bad things that you have in your house before you sign on the dotted line. I wouldn?t go anywhere else for a home inspector. I would use him again tomorrow if I needed to and will recommend him to anyone I know that needs an inspection done. AAAAA+++++++

+ -1 moreThanks to Doug he saved my wife and I from making a life long bad purchase. His knowledge and through inspection was informative and honest. His reports were easy to read and understand. Doug had our interest in mind while doing the inspection as his client not the selling realtor or the purchasing realtor interests which was just what we needed. He was early at the inspection, answered any and all questions I had throughout the inspection and was even willing to teach as he went through the house so as to know somethings to look for as we move forward finding the perfect home. His price was the lowest of three competitors beating out both inspectors that are both rated high on Angies list and ones our realtor recommended. If you want an honest inspections with a knowledgeable individual with a straight forward approach then Doug is the right man for the job. I have his number saved and will call him again for home inspections when needed. Thanks Doug for again saving my wife and I from a life long purchase mistake.

A toilet that he said was working had a 45 minute fill time after it was flushed and I had to have that repaired.

We are purchasing a 100+ year old rowhouse that needs some tlc and Doug left no stone unturned in his inspection. He took photos of each issue, wrote up a detailed report and reviewed everything with us before leaving. We left feeling like we were going in to our purchase as fully-informed as possible.
