Description of Work: We had Amerispec do a full home inspection and a radon test for a home we are purchasing. The cost reflects the extra cost of the radon test. | |The inspector arrived before we did and was already inspecting the premises when we got there. She was very thorough, professional, and helpful during the inspection. She found a variety of defects and provided a lot of advice on caring for the home, maintaining it, and any future issues to be aware of. | |After the inspection, we were provided a thick binder of information regarding all the details, and it included a lot of great home maintainance and repair tips. We were very pleased with our service and would certainly recommend Amerispec to others.

Description of Work: Amerispec performed a general inspection and radon test on the property I was looking to purchase. The full inspection lasted approx. 3 hours. They were very thorough, professional, and friendly. They were very knowledgeable, and answered any questions with ease. They also offered many helpful tips on how to improve things, especially in regards to energy efficiency. The owner, Michael, performed our inspection personally and was a pleasure to work with. His previous work experience brings an unmatched amount of knowledge and real-world skill to his home inspections. I'd highly recommend to anyone needing a home inspection!

His name was Michael Gebben. He is the owner and it is his business. He did a wonderful job. He was really good. They did one inspection in February but that house didn't work out. They did the inspection on the house we bought in April. The written report was in a binder. It was real professional and nicely done on how he did it. He gave us real valuable tips on the house. It was things he would do right away. He went above and beyond. We used him twice because we liked him so much the first time.
Description of Work: We used Amerispec Home Inspection Service to inspect two different houses for us.

Mike arrived ahead of time, we had an appointment at 5pm and when I got there he had already set up a ladder to inspect the roof and chimney. He spent 3 hours with us and submitted a very thorough report that was printed on the spot and then emailed. I was very satisfied with his service and the way he represented his company and himself. Mike appeared very knowledgeable and he found several things that needed correction but he also went out of his way to point out how to improve or maintain items that appeared in good condition. For example, how to properly caulk windows, wash siding and save money by insulating better among other things. Mike told us that after the inspection he would be available to answer any questions and that I could call him - I had some questions and he was very glad to respond to everything Also, the lady in the office staff was super helpful and responsive - I called them on a Sunday at 5 pm and they set me up for next day. When I left a voice mail they responded right away and went out of their way to make sure evrything had gone well. We are first time home buyers and he was very patient and took his time with us, the process was very helpful and reassuring. I would recommend Mike Hoeser at AmeriSpec for your next inspection
Description of Work: My inspector was Mike Hoeser. Inspection was $335, minus $20 off Angie's coupon, $130 for Radon Testing ($445 total, paid via check at the end of the inspection) He inspected a 1 story 1940 ranch 3 br/ 2 ba/ 1 car garage that my wife and I want to buy. He also conducted a radon Test that was placed on the home on Monday evening and would pick up results on Thursday. he also emailed me and my realtor those results right away - I recommend having this done

Receptionist Peggy was very friendly and efficient. When owner/inspector Michael Gebben came to our home, we found him to be very knowledgeable, honest, personable, and helpful. He spent several hours doing a thorough inspection of our house in an effort to determine the source of long-term stained and wet plywood subfloor in living/dining/hallway. Michael Gebben told us he was a trained electrician with a background in construction (father owned a construction company). He's been inspecting for years and has seen just about everything. Gebben checked our house--inside and outside, high and low, and determined the wetness on the subfloor was not a result of a leak. During his thorough inspection, Micheal Gebben discovered our roofer hadn't installed ridge vents and flashing properly, so he instructed us to schedule an appointment with the roofer, and assured us he would stand by us at that meeting. Gebben was mild-mannered and soft-spoken during the house inspection; however, during the meeting with the roofer, it was as if Clark Kent had changed into Superman--he was amazing as an expert and advocate in action! Cost was very, very reasonable for a thorough house inspection, and even more amazing was that he didn't charge for our joint meeting with the roofer. We were blessed to have had Michael Gebben work on our behalf, and we highly recommend him to anyone in need of a topnotch home inspector. (NOTE: The mystery subfloor wetness stumped several inspectors until, finally, we hired a scientist from Michael's Engineering (no relation to Michael Gebben). The scientist concluded that during time of construction (1960) a worker spilled a liquid hygroscopic substance onto a large section of the dining room subfloor; trailed the substance through the house in a path; then covered it up during carpet installation! Now in humid weather, the subfloor gets wet. We are going to get someone to cut and remove the biggest stained section and replace it with no-VOC PureBond plywood.)
Description of Work: Search for source(s) of what we thought may have been a leak onto subfloor of our house. Owner Michael Gebben literally searched high and low and found the wetness on subfloor was not a result of a leak, but he did find that the roofer didn't install roof with proper materials or proper venting, which made our roof vulnerable to leaks. Mr. Gebben had us schedule a meeting at our home with the roofer and even attended that meeting to give his expertise so the roofer couldn't back out of--or weasel his way out of--his responsibility. Mr. Gebben was amazing in action!

We spent a bit over 2 hours with the inspector - Pat. He did a thorough examination starting with the outside of the building checking the siding, roof, windows, porches, electric outlets, faucets, drive pad, sidewalks, etc. He commented on the status of each and outlined maintenance that should be done as well as the quality (or lack) of construction. He then took a break to enter his finding into his laptop so he didn't loose track of items. We then did detailed walkthoughs of each floor with his noting problems (defects), maintenance as well as giving us useful tip on operation of some equipment (e.g. cold air returns when there is one low on a wall and one high). He used his ladder to inspect inside the attic for insulation, leaks, etc. In some cases where he could not do a test (too cold to test the a.c.), he gave us advice on how to pursue it by getting maintenance records. He again took periodic breaks to update his computerized report. Pat was very approachable and tried hard to answer all our questions. He was also very pragmatic telling us which things were more important than others, where a professional was needed and where a gadget he saw in an information would solve a problem (slow drainage in bathroom sink). He gave us his cell phone number and told us to not hesitate to call him with questions. I got an e-mail with his report in a couple of hours. It was very thorough and well organized. I did see a few items where I wanted clarification and called him. We discussed them and he sent me an updated report an hour or so later.
Description of Work: We had an accepted offer on a condominium and wanted a through inspection of the specific unit and shared facilities.

We met the inspector at our new house. It is a foreclosure, so we knew that we'd have some work to be done right away. He started on the outside, showing us what he saw on the exterior (siding, roof, foundation) and explaining areas that we would want to consider replacing or updating in the future. When we had questions (very often!) he took the time to explain the problem and how to fix it - including whether he thought it was something people could generally fix on their own, or if it'd be more appropriate to hire someone. Inside the home, we walked through each room in great detail. He showed us how to operate our gas fireplace, and explained the function of each light switch. Wherever possible water damage appeared on walls/ceilings, he explained whether it seemed to be a recurring problem, or a one time issue (giving examples, though not definitive, of what could have caused the damage). For updates that he recommended hiring a professional, he provided companies that he had worked with in the past. There were a lot of areas that sounded like they would need to be updated or fixed, but he was very clear in explaining whether the updates would need to be done immediately, or if it was something we should just keep an eye on. At the end of the walk-through, we asked for his opinion on where to start and he named just two areas to focus on. He also said that we could call him anytime if we had more questions about the inspection or wanted a suggestion for any professional work.
Description of Work: The home inspection had been performed before we submitted our offer to buy the house. After our offer was accepted, we did a walk-through of the house with an inspector. He brought a copy of his report and explained each part in more detail. The walk-through took about 2 hours.

Michael Gebben, Owner and Jakie, Office Manager are wonderful to work with their straight-forward approach of explaining every step of the home inspection process. It's obvious that Michael is respected in the community when other inspections (well & septic and plumbing) are being conducted where all parties exchange and assist each other professionally. Michael's thoroughness and confidence is evident by inviting me and my husband to walk-through the inspection with him. Having a complete binder and printing out the report immediately was great. Following it up with an electronic copy to save for future reference is a nice touch.
Description of Work: Jakie, Office Manager did the intake over the phone and email prior to the appointment. Met with Michael at the home for the entire appointment. Outside inspection done (exterior of house & grounds) first. Due to heavy snow, Michael will return to the house in the spring to follow-up on the roof inspection. In the basement, explained all equipment that I was not familiar with (well, septic, & mineral filter), and answered basic questions. Main & 2nd floor inspections. At the end of the inspection, walked me through each room with feedback and recommendations of short-term and long-term repairs/updates. Printed out my report & placed it in a binder (complete with hand-outs, refernce manual, & checklists for future use) and invoiced for services.

Mike was great! He told me exactly what I wanted to know about the quality of the roofing job just performed, plus he told me many things about problems with my house that had nothing to do with the roofing job. He followed up with a detailed report about the roofing job which helped with negotiations with the roofing company.
Description of Work: I hired AmeriSpec to check on the quality of a questionable roofing job I just had performed. Mike Hoeser (HAYzer) was the inspector and he inspected at ground level all the way around the house, up on top of the roof, and in the attic.
