Description of Work: Tim was outstanding! I found it very easy to schedule my appointment and both Tim and his wife were very understanding when I had to reschedule my inspection. The price also seemed very fair seeing that he did a full home inspection as well as two additional tests. Tim's speed at returning the final report was excellent, I had an electronic copy within one day. I also appreciated that he was willing to investigate issues I noticed during a prior visit, as I was unable to be present during the inspection. When I was reading the report and was unclear and needed a few questions answered, Tim responded with excellent and helpful answers. Everything considered I would not hesitate to recommend Tim.

The inspection went very well. The inspector Tim McGovern showed up on early, and was waiting for us. Tim started the inspection placing Radon collectors around the house. Then we began the house inspection. Tim walked us around the exterior of the house, he took the time to explain all of his findings to us. He answered every question we asked with clear concise answers. Tim walked us through the interior of the house. Tim checked all appliances, performed a through septic check, checked the grounding on every electrical outlet, checked insulation, examined the furnace, checked the CO2 level of the furnace, checked the water heater, checked the basement condition, and much more. The total inspection lasted approximately 5 hours. When the inspection was complete we had all of our question answered, and we learned that we needed an electrician and a chimney specialist to review some findings. Tim provided us a report though e-mail 3 days after the inspection and a written report 5 days after the inspection. Overall my wife and I are very pleased, Tim gave us an excellent home inspection and made buying our new home a safer investment.
Description of Work: I had an Amerispec Home inspection performed on a house that my wife recently purchased. Prior to closing on the house we decided that a home inspection would be prudent prior to closing. The house inspection was performed by Tim McGovern.

Saturday inspection. Tim was late a little late but was in contact by cell phone to let me know. Inspection was quite thorough and lasted about 3.5 hours. Lots of information, major and important things ended up in report though I wish I had taken better notes - because he threw a lot of useful stuff at me. Had email report within a day and written report in a binder within three business days. I've been a renter for years so I know nothing about houses and Tim was very patient and explained things very simply. I would highly recommend him.

Met with Tim at house on a Saturday morning. Was able to get an appointment on short notice. He was very thorough, starting on the outside of the house. Went through everything step by step with me, pointing out good things and bad. Answered all questions professionally. Report did not arrive exactly when I expected it, but situation was remedied with one phone call. Written report was very detailed and sent in a three-ring binder also including a home maintenance manual.
Description of Work: City Package inspection including general home inspection, radon gas test, carbon monoxide test and wood destroying insects inspection.
