Great; property was a full rehab and inspection was thorough. Found an issue with the chimney ducting that I cold not have identified myself, which was a fire code violation and required repair before occupancy, saving me a substantial headache and money! Inspector was on time and explained his process as he went, in addition to providing thorough reports.

My husband and I asked Doug to inspect two homes for us and we would hire him for a third if we needed it. Doug is professional, he knows what he’s doing, he works FOR YOU. He explains what he sees throughout the inspection and helps you grasp what you’re looking at and for during the most stressful time of your life.

Doug was awesome to work with. The seller delayed us several times and Doug was very accommodating to the scheduling difficulties. This was my first time buying a house and he was very patient and explained everything in great detail. He did a thorough inspection and provided a very detailed report quickly. And he has a great sense of humor. Thanks!

The inspector was great. He fit me in when no one else could, and I need the inspection done right away. He was very thorough and explained everything to me, which was especially helpful because I've never owned a house and have no one else to help me with anything. He went above and beyond by not only explaining his inspection and everything along with it but he also gave me tips and hints as to how to maintain the house. For example he showed me how to take off the radiator covers and explained how to clean them and how often to clean them to keep them running effectively. I can't say enough good things about this inspector. I felt very comfortable with him and that he was inspecting the home and making sure it was safe enough for his own child to live there. If I ever decided to move and buy a new house I would absolutely use Amerispec Home Inspection again and I highly recommend them!

We have nothing but great things to say about Doug's service. We used him twice this year--most recently on Sept. 29, 2012. The reason we used him twice was because the first time he found termite damage that the seller tried to hide. This was the best money we ever spent, we would have bought the house had he not discovered the termite problem. When we decided to buy the second property we knew it wasn't going to happen without a once-over by Doug. He is incredibly thorough with his inspection and provided detailed reports the same day that helped our realtor write a letter and provide a list to the seller of items that required attention. We are moving forward on this home and feel good about it because Doug inspected it. Doug was able to perform the inspection during short-notice at a time convenient for us. He went over every square inch of the house. He wasn't an alarmist making us panic and stress out. He explained calmly issues that the house had that were in need of fixing up and addressing immediately, and he offered suggestions for things we could do at a later date if we felt like it. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding gutters, downspouts and moving water away from the house to keep it from flooding and accumulating moisture and humidity in the foundation.
Description of Work: Soon after our purchase offer had been accepted we ordered a home inspection; Doug Roach was a referral from our realtor. He inspected the exterior and interior of a1400 sq ft ranch in Hyannis, MA. All the utilities were turned on and he was able to operate all systems. Our inspector recommended a further evaluation, having a specialist in several areas conduct a more extensive examination prior to closing. Doug took the time to answer all our questions, and he left us with a very useful book on home maintenance he prepared himself. He is a perfectionist, and it showed. He was at the site for more than three hours thoroughly looking everything over. He pointed out issues with drainage, moisture, roof ventilation, electrical system, furnace... the list goes on. In the end, there were no deal-breakers but a long to-do list, which is just what we wanted. Now we feel we're purchasing our home with our eyes wide open.
