Description of Work: Doug Gillette was prompt, thorough and genial. I felt like I got what I paid for and more. What I found most valuable was his ability to give practical advice in addition to putting the appropriate language in the inspection report. Would use again.

Description of Work: Doug performed a complete home inspection on my current home. My initial phone calls were returned in a timely manner. He arrived on time. He was completely professional. I appreciated the fact that he is the owner of the company and very experienced in providing the services I requested. He shared his opinions on what best practices dictated for dealing with several potential problems in my home. He left me with an extremely detailed and comprehensive document which detailed the findings of his inspection. I would readily use and recommend his services in the future.

Description of Work: Doug was great!! Agreed to do our home Inspection on the July 4 holiday morning. He was there ahead of time and gave us all the useful information/tips throughout the Inspection. Price was very reasonable and Doug responded to my e-mails after the inspection as well.

Description of Work: We arrived early to the appointment, but Doug was already there and had already started evaluating the outside grounds and roof. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. Also made suggestions for maintenance on various appliances and areas of the home in order to avoid major repair or replacement costs down the line. Our home was built in the 1930's, so we needed someone who knew what to look for in an older home. We've been in the house 2 months now and haven't run into anything that Doug didn't uncover during the inspection. The price was right and the service was better than we expected! Highly recommend.

Description of Work: Called Anderson based on good reviews. I had a tight time frame and the woman who answered did not seem to interested in trying to help. She had an "oh well" mentality. I'm sure the inspector may have been great had we agreed on a date and went with them which is why we graded it in the middle as a 'C'. But if we did it would have been solely on reviews. Customer service is very important to me and she just didn't have it.

Response from ANDERSON HOME INSPECTION
Sorry we couldn't help you. The lady who runs my office will always do her best to meet a schedule, but we are usually booked a week in advance for two reasons 1. It is an owner/operator company, so you get the owner on site, not an unknown employee 2. Word of mouth advertising and the highest ratings on sites like this, keep us above the rest Doug

Description of Work: Doug did a complete (and I mean COMPLETE!) home inspection and radon testing. I have had my home for 10 yrs, had a poor inspection when I purchased, NEVER had a radon test, saw on DIY Network that every 10-15 yrs you should invest in a home inspection re. maintenance issues...sounded good to me. I will use him again in a heartbeat...professional, personable, knowlegable, thorough, TRUSTWORTHY. Price was fair, and he passed on additional "off the books" information and suggestions as I followed him around my house (so YOU can do a better job of caring for your home (as well as expenses you can skip and why...THAT was worth every penny I paid him!!). Use this gentleman in TOTAL CONFIDENCE.

The inspection was thorough. Doug took the time to explain the home's systems and offered advice on repairs. We would never purchase another home without using Anderson's and we will ask them to inspect our current home before we decide to sell it.

I was incredibly impressed with both his demeanor and the way he examined the property. He identified water damage/leak in the basement that someone had painted over. He really educated me about the systems in my new home, and provided a fabulous binder filled with information and a system for tracking home maintenance. He was beyond patient when we were late for the inspection, due to poor weather. In spite of that he did not rush, taking time to answer every question we had. There is no question that I would hire him again and recommend his business to anyone!

The employee arrived promptly and proceeded to look over the house, beginning on top of the roof to the basement. He checked all appliances and utilities. He gave us estimates on expected life of roof and appliances and suggested mainly minor repairs the seller should be requested to do. Two major oversights in his inspection were: the fact that our drainage system leading to our sump pump was not functional, causing the basement to flood, (my cost to fix $2875). He also did not see major termite damage to exposed beam sill plate's in the basement. Luckily a subsequent ($65) termite inspection discovered the problem. The seller did fix this major structural problem with no cost to me. The home inspector was asked why he did not notice structural damage and he indicated that he is not "allowed" to inspect by inserting a screwdriver in the wooden structure of houses he inspects. This was a major problem that could have cost me a couple thousand more in repair cost.

Response from ANDERSON HOME INSPECTION
THIS COMPANY DID NOT PERFORM A TERMITE INSPECTION FOR THIS CLIENT. IT WAS DONE (HOPEFULLY) BY A LICENSED PEST CONTROL AGENT. ANY DAMAGE VISUAL AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION WAS NOTED. OLDER HOMES WITH TILE DRAINAGE CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME, DUE TO MANY REASONS. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PRIOR FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM DURING THE INSPECTION.

An excellent experience. Doug was on time, very polite and very knowledgeable. The office contact was also very helpful and even gave us a call 24 hours before the appointment to make sure that we were all set to go. In terms of price - it seemed a little high but the service provided by the company was top notch.
Description of Work: Doug came out and completed a home inspection for a home that my wife and I were hoping to purchase. He arrived early and took the initiative to complete the roof inspection immediately because of a storm that was approaching. Doug gave us many tips and suggestions for maintaining the house in its present condition and some suggestions for possible improvements.

My husband and I met with Doug to have a home inspection done on a home we're interested in purchasing. The inspection was scheduled quickly and efficiently. He was extremely detailed, organized, professional and considerate. He gave us a divided binder with sections of each of his reviews. He gave us suggestions for repairs, and also told us what to budget for in the future. His notes were concise and easy to understand. I highly recommend this company! He took his time and didn't make us feel rushed. He answered all the questions, and took his time listening to our concerns. Definitely an A+ Company!

THEY ARRIVED ON TIME AND DID A VERY THOROUGH INSPECTION. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE BINDER THEY LEFT WITH MANY COMMENTS ON THINGS THAT WERE USEFUL TO ME EVEN AFTER I MOVED IN. SUCH AS LETTING ME KNOW THAT I SHOULD BUDGET FOR A NEW WATER HEATER. THEY ALSO LEFT ME WITH A TIPS GUIDE FOR NEW HOME OWNERS WHICH I READ AND FOUND USEFUL.
