John Loomans unduly influenced my buyers against buying my home due to wiring. I subsequently had my wiring inspected by two master electricians both of when said the wiring was up to code in my state and didn't pose a danger. Loomans cost me a $455,000 sale. People need to understand the the home inspection industry is completely unregulated, allowing inspectors to say anything they want, true or not, without recourse.

They were able to come on very short notice and provided us with a very thorough inspection. The inspector answered all of our questions and provided us with a copy of the report immediately after the inspection.

Mark Slotvig is thorough and provides great detail in his inspections. Plus, AmeriSpec's appraisal binder is thorough and includes photos to be referenced later. After the inspection, I knew all the issues in that home and felt confident about the home I was purchasing. I've used him for other home purchases and I would definitely use him again if I buy another home in the future.

Excellent. Our inspector not only did the work he was hired to do, inspect every aspect of the house in which he was required to and recorded his findings, but he went above and beyond. He patiently went over everything with us and answered all of our questions. We never felt rushed. He offered insight and shared his vast knowledge of our particular situation. We left feeling he was looking out for us as he would do for himself and his own family. Thank you, John!

Overall the inspection was fine. We ultimately decided not to go ahead with the home purchase due to some issues the inspector pointed out. I am giving a B rating because I appreciate that. However, we caught some potentially problems ourselves due to exterior and interior water damage. There were a couple issues that we sent him our own pictures about that we felt he should have seen or if not, at least given us some advice about whether we should walk away. We have now found a different property and will go with a different inspection service this time. The inspector did not fully answer our concerns about this and stopped responding to my emails. However, the company was very happy to do push emails to sign up for some expensive binder and quick review before we had time to fully absorb the information on the inspection.

Response from AmeriSpec Home Inspections-Bloomington Office
We certainly appreciate your feedback and are sorry that you weren't completely satisfied. I know that your inspector had responded to your 7-point email about various issues and had spoken with you at the inspection as well as conversations you had with our office staff. After reviewing the picture you sent to him he ascertained that the suspicious "water damage" on the ceiling was actually just a shadow from the curtain rod. He thought that he had sent out his opinion regarding this but discovered that it had gotten hung up in his drafts folder and failed to send. Therefore we apologize for the lack of response. You are correct that we have 2 emails that go out automatically. One email informs you about our FREE GIFT to you from HomeBinder. The monetary value listed is for your information only but the subscription is completely free and our gift to you. We do send out a request for feedback the day after your inspection [Member Information Removed] that the process is still top of mind, but certainly don't expect it and wouldn't put any time constraints on this request. We wish you all the best on your journey to finding the best option for your parents and are grateful that we could help get you to their forever home. -AmeriSpec, Bloomington office

Our inspector, John, was professional, thorough, keen, and communicative. He went through everything from the roof to the drainage in the home we are buying and has given us peace of mind and a checklist of regular maintenance items needed for our home. Would definitely recommend.

John Kaiser was great, he was very professional. He let me use his tape measure to measure some rooms! He showed me everything I needed to know and also left his ladder in the garage in case I wanted to see the crawl space to store my stuff.. I would definitely hire him again!

Kevin was amazing, this was our first purchase, I had no idea about what was going to happen or anything. First of all, he asked me to remove my shoes, I asked if he had another pair of shoe covers and he provided! Amazing customer service, attention to all little and big issues. He ROCKED!

My realtor recommended AmeriSpec and I am so happy with their service! I called on a Sunday to schedule a home inspection and radon testing, and they were happy to assist in getting me scheduled. Mark did an excellent job walking me through my home inspection, and was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions that I had. I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a home inspection!

I was a bit scared of the price for this but it was well worth it in the end. I've heard of bad inspection services but this was the total opposite! I learned a lot about a new house i was looking into and honestly this not only made me want my new house even more but it helped me figure what i was going to do next to improve my house.
