American Verified Home Inspections

This company is completely professional and I had a great experience with them. I was able to book the appointment quickly, and they also promptly and professionally dealt with the logistics of contacting real estate agents and gaining access. They also arranged a radon inspection for me, so I didn't have to do that separately, which was helpful. Not every inspector is able to do that, in my experience. Rob did a thorough inspection, top to bottom. I was present for much of it, and he explained what he was finding in a clear way, and also gave me a brief education on things I didn't exactly understand about how houses work, which was helpful. To me, he didn't seem overly relaxed or overly cautious about the things that were wrong with the house; he was just matter-of-fact. He really seems to understand everything he's looking at. The written report was thorough and included helpful recommendations. I would highly recommend American Verified to anyone who needs a home inspection.

Rob was very thorough and spent nearly five hours inspecting a home I had under contract. He arrived early and was ready to begin when I arrived a little bit early. He covered every part of the property he could access, including the attic areas and roof. He opened every window, tested every appliance, and turned on every faucet. He explained things in very clear detail to me as he was performing the inspection. He took a lot of photos. He also turned around a very clear, detailed, and comprehensive 37-page report later the same day. Overall, Rob was very responsive and very thorough, and his work inspired a lot of confidence. Highly recommended.

Rob was very professional, personable, and thorough. He identified a major, but subtle, defect in a house we were considering for purchase. His report was organized and comprehensive. Did not end up purchasing house.

Rob did a great job, spotted a few things needing attention. What really motivated me to write this is all the attention he's given us since then. Rob has been available to offer advice, make referrals, and help us think through repair issues.

Rob is a great inspector. When providing my report to a family friend that is an inspector, and to my realtor, they both mentioned that his was one of the most thorough and well written report. He is willing to spend the time to carefully look over all of the major systems, and talk you through issues, if you are present at time of inspection. My wife and I have actually used him twice now, as he did such a great job on the inspection of a house about about a year ago.

When I called to get a quote on service and left a message, Rob called me back the same day and was very no-nonsense and direct. He explained what he would do and what the inspection didn't cover (things like a sewer inspection). On the day of the inspection, he was prompt, despite the heavy snow that was still falling when he arrived. He welcomed us to join him as he went through the house and answered our questions along the way. The report was sent the following day and was really complete along with pictures. He later answered follow up questions, even weeks after our inspection and recommended someone we could use to do a sewer inspection (who was really great as well). Inspections are nerve-racking ordeals, especially when buying your first home. It's important to hire someone you feel you can trust. I highly recommend Rob. He did a great job!

Rob Wetterstroem was recommended to us by our real estate agent and working with him has been great. When he did the inspection for the home we were interested in (and eventually bought) he allowed my wife and myself to follow him as he did the inspection and he pointed out and explained everything he saw. He didn't just point t things and say, "That's a problem", he explained how big a problem, how long it might last without repair or maintenance and how difficult it would be to do ourselves. It gave us a much better sense for the house and it's strengths and problems. He also has been very good in answering follow-up questions and recommending people to do some repairs that are necessary before we move in.

Rob arrived at the home before us. He first reviewed the home inspection agreement and answered all of our preliminary questions. Next we headed outside where he conducted a thorough inspection of the yard and outside of the house. He was very receptive to questions and offered explanation of anything he noticed on the house. After the full exterior inspection, he climbed up onto the roof for a full inspection of the chimney, gutters, shingles, and vents. After the roof, we went inside for more of the same. Overall, he was extremely thorough, receptive to questions, respectful, and professional. The home inspection and radon test went as well as I could have asked. Rob is an excellent home inspector for any buyer, but particularly good with first-time buyers.
