Anderson Home Inspection LLC

Donn did an excellent job and was a professional from the beginning. The minute he walked in we had a private conversation on what we can expect from him. He had materials and notes ready for any questions, concerns, or comments we may have had. He made it very clear that he was working for us and this could be as fast or slow as we wanted it. Throughout the inspection Donn made several notes and comments so we could follow along. He was incredibly detail orientated and checked everything I could think of and more. At the end of the inspection he provided me with general feedback to my question and I felt at ease knowing we had a great detailed inspection. Later that night I received the inspection report, I was amazed how fast he got the report in my hands. Donn was our first choice for this project and he definately will be my only choice moving forward with any home inspection needs!

Donn was punctual, trustworthy, and thorough. His extensive experience was immediately apparent as we walked through the commercial building I was condsidering. His detailed report contained objective language and clear supporting photographic evidence. The breadth of his knowledge was impressive and it informed my negotiation. The seller and I eventually settled on a fair price, thanks in large part to Donn's contribution and the common understanding it provided regarding the condition of the structure. Donn is friendly and makes it clear that he is available to answer questions even after the check has cleared. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and it shows. Several professionals in the real estate industry had recommended him to me; and now I will cheerfully do the same. The guy is a pro with heart.

Donn was a thorough and detailed home inspector, recommended by our real estate agent. I would whole-hardheartedly recommend him for any inspection for a new or existing owner. He explained the problems in an easy to follow / simple manner. He reviewed every defect in great detail and explained how to address each problem. He also provided us a radon test which was found to be almost double the action level detailed by the EPA. He saved us thousands of dollars and peace of mind relative to my family living in the house. I highly recommend Donn for any inspection.

I feel that I received outstanding service from Donn during this home inspection. As stated, he was professional and very thorough. Donn greeted me with "Hello, Boss!" which was helpful to establish our relationship throughout the inspection process. He did explain things in great detail and being a first-time homebuyer, I was very grateful that he took the time to sit down and explain exactly what to expect and provide me and my father with plenty of chances to ask for clarifications. Donn's great attention to the details of this home inspection helped us prioritize what needs greater attention and the condition of the mechanical systems in the house. I was also very pleased that Donn suggested radon testing and was able to set that up during the home inspection. Donn definitely knew what he was talking about, and he certainly has the credentials to back it up. I am very impressed by this home inspection and overall, I am extremely satisfied with Anderson Home Inspection! I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family members in the future.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!! !Donn was amazing, When I first arrived (15 minutes late) he was very plesaant. Before we met at the house, Donn sent me an email with what to expect in a home inspection. At the house, was an amazing binder with all sorts of information and future checklist to perform twice a year. Donn spent the first 15 minutes going over the binder and explaining the inspection. Also, he had a pen and note pad for me to take my own notes. The house was 988 square feet and he paid attention to every detail. We walked outside the house first, around the house, he went on the roof, always keeping me in the loop of what he found. Donn found issues with the roof and took pictures to show what the eye couldn't see from the ground level. I had lots of questions and he took the time and stopped to answer each one, and explained to me the answers. After the inspection, He took an air sample for the model, all my friends thought I was crazy, but the results showed different, I didn't smell or find any model with my eye, but when the results came back, it showed high levels of model and the radon test as well. Donn had a PDA and camera and took detail notes, which later showed in his email report to me in less then 48 hours. Donn also was about to provide me information on who to call (which was already in his binder) and provided me the direct number of the mold company. Donn was about to find a lot more things that I overlooked when I walked through many times. Bottom line here folks, Donn treated me like family, he has been doing this for many years and it showed in his results, and had great people skills. Thank you Donn. Once I find the perfect house, I will be using you again.

Donn did an outstanding job. Very responsive for entire process. In addition to home inspection and radon test, he did a termite inspection including correspondence of the result on a Friday evening. Excellent after-service support and very willing to answer questions related to the service. I highly recommend using his services.

A large issue was overlooked during our home inspection. One in which three separate plumbing companies felt he definitely should have seen. Leaving a sewage pipe overflowing in our basement. Upon becoming aware of the issue Donn became immediately defensive and denied any liability what so ever. And only reluctantly agreed to help pay a portion of the repair costs after he read a report we posted on Angies List. An agreement saddled with a legal document releasing him of all liability for the rest of our property. Stating had to be signed before he would release to us his portion of the repair costs. We were so disgusted with the way he decided to handle the issue, we decided to pay the whole bill ourselves rather than have to deal with him again. Would definitely not recommend Anderson Home Inspection, llc to anyone. * And both my husband and I read the report thoroughly the day we received it. To call your customers liars is both arrogant and unprofessional. Especially with a response that seems not to match with our experience. Another reason we took care of it ourselves.* Unfortunately the photo in the report was not an issue what so ever. But what was, was never addressed.Also never once was there an offer to pay the entire amount. So once again the experience is not at all how we remember it. Would still NOT recommend Anderson Home Improvement to anyone.

Donn answered all of my questions as well as giving me information I did not know to ask for. We did a complete walk around of the house as Donn took me step by step through exactly what he was looking for. After he was done with the solo roof inspection, Donn led me through an equally detailed room by room inspection of the house. Donn's thorough inspection of the basement brought to my attention potentially costly problems I would never have been aware of by myself. I did not end up buying the property, but I am still looking for a house and Donn will be my inspector for that property as well.

From the first call to Donn's office, it was a great experience. Robin was very professional and explained the process from start to finish. Donn confirmed the appointment the day prior to the inspection, which I appreciated. Donn arrived before the scheduled inspection time and from start to finish the inspection lasted just shy of 3-hours. Again, a very thorough inspection!

Donn was on time, explained everything he was going to do before he started, shared his background and experience with us, explained the entire inspection process and said if we were not tired of hearing and learning about the grade around a home by the time he was done, he had not done his job. Well, we weren't tired of hearing about the grade around the house BUT he did do his job very well and not just in regards to the grading around the home. He pointed out things that were defects and also pointed out items that although were not defects were things we should be looking at for current and future maintanence. Donn speaks quickly and everything he says is important, so listen carefully to him. He writes everything down (as all inspectors do) but he also took as much time as needed to answer any questions we had. We were on a very tight timeline and Donn was able to prepare the report within 2 or 3 hours complete with photos of the items of concern and complete explainations. Because we had Donn do our inspection we are feeling much more confident in our purchase and know exactly what we are buying with regards to what needs to be updated immediately and what items we should continue to look at for maintenance. Thank you very much Donn, we feel lucky to have had you as our inspector. Patty and Curt

Donn was great. He sat down with us at the beginning and explained in detail how he approaches each inspection and what we could expect. He gave us a binder for our record keeping and note taking which was helpful. He pointed out several maintenance things we should take into consideration when we move into our house. He was professional and knows what he's doing. He came highly recommended to us and we would definitely recommend and hire him again.

Mr. Anderson was exceptionally professional and an obvious technical expert in his field. My current work schedule makes it very difficult for me to arrange services, yet Mr. Anderson was courteous enough to allow me to schedule other contractors during his inspection to provide quotes for known repairs. He was thorough and prompt, providing the report the same business day. I plan to schedule him to perform a home energy audit and radon test in the future. Mr. Anderson has my highest recommendation and gratitude.

Working with Donn was a fantastic experience all around. He gave an accurate cost estimate on my initial call. He arrived early to inspect the exterior of the house. He sat down with us to explain in detail what to expect from the house inspection - specifically helping us understand the difference between minor and significant defects. He answered questions and pointed out many possible maintenance tasks to consider. He also offered various recommendations to make the house more energy efficient. The inspection report was very thorough and easy to understand, including pictures to better illustrate the issues described. Our real estate agent also enjoyed working with Donn, and said she would add him to her short list of recommendations to her clients. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a thorough, detailed home inspection.

Donn was able to provide inspection as well as expert witness testimony for a poor siding installation. Our attorney indicated he was one of the most thorough he's seen; inspecting the siding on all areas of the home, the nails, length, insulation, studs, windows, flashing, interior walls, insulation, and ceiling areas that were damaged. Donn provided exact measurements, details, and numerous photos with specific information and data on each. He was absolutely exceptional, and with the detail and extra attention he paid even after (he actually touched base throughout the lawsuit to see if there was anything else we needed, and educated us greatly), Donn is the first person I will be calling when we buy our next home!

Donn Anderson was flat out fantastic through the entire process. This was my first time purchasing or even having made an offer to purchase a home, so I had really no idea what I was getting into or what I should be looking for. Donn was very good about explaining the entire process as well as his methods of inspection, and was very thorough without alarming or scaring me over anything. Thanks to his expertise, a few problems were found and solved before I closed on the purchase of my home. He even provides a wonderful binder with handy information and a full report with photos of any problem areas.

The inspector focused on the foundation and landscaping around the structure which did not make sense for a condo. He did not check any of the appliances. He simply checked that the furnace and A/C worked - nothing scientfic like measuring output. He actually came back to check the A/C - he skipped it initially because of a bad battery in the thermostat, but I complained and he redid it. Did not ignite the gas water heater to see if it was even functional. According to his report, this was all beyond the scope of the inspection. Had I known that before, I would not have contracted for the inspection - I could have done it myself. He did do a radon test which failed and the seller remedied. I would never again get an inspection for a condominium purchase.

He was great! Worth every penny. He was incredibly thorough, he provided us with a binder of reputable contractors to help us with future work on our home. He was very thorough in explaining how we can do our own minor repairs and gave us helpful hints. He was very forthright and to the point, which both my husband and I appreciated. He even made us laugh.

We are extremely pleased with Anderson Home Inspection and would recommend them to anyone wanting peace of mind in their new home!

The entire inspection was great. Donn is very knowledgable and will answer every question asked. He points out things and lets you know what is going on. My Husband and I are new to home purchasing, it was great to have Donn as a reference. He has also indicated that we could call him in the future with any questions. He gave us a very useful binder with information on homes.

The inspections went great. Being new to the process, Donn went over every detail of the inspection before he began. Then he took time to talk to us about the good and bad of what he saw and/or tested using language that was clear and not jargon of the job. It was easy to understand what steps to take to fix some things and what we didn't have to worry about because they were not problems. He was professional and reliable. He was courteous of the fact that we did not know a lot about owning homes and took the time to talk to us and explain everything in great detail. The two inspections he did for us were great experiences. I will absolutely use him again down the road.

The inspection went as scheduled. He was on time and even gave me a credit because my crawl space was easier to inspect than he originally thought. I would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection.

He is very thorough and there is no one else I would use. I really respect his opinion when it comes to who to use for contract work.

Donn was wonderful. I called him on Friday to discuss what I needed. He was able to fit the inspection in the next day. Saturday he arrived on time. I felt he did a very thorough inspection. He took his time and looked things over carefully. He really knows his stuff. He offered helpful advice. He supplied me with a report the day of the inspection and followed up with a final report, that he submitted to the bank. Thankfully the inspection passed, so we can refinance our house. Donn was personable and professional.

First, I was impressed that he agreed to do my inspection within the week. Everything about the buying process goes so quickly that I only had one week to get the inspection done. Second, Donn was very thorough-went through the two floors of the condo, the basement and the outside of the house. He took his time and explained everything thoroughly, took pictures and gave me a comprehensive report at the end. I felt very comfortable with the inspection. I was also happy to get a $50 discount for using Angie's List. :)

Arrived only a few minutes late. Donn took the time before the inspection to explain what I should expect from him as a client. What stuck out to me the most was his quote, "I inspect the house as if I was doing it for my family. I want you to be sure you know as much as you can about it." During the inspection, he taught me more about houses and how to maintain them than what I previously knew before. He identified some serious defects in the the furnace that may have cost a pretty penny if I didn't know about them earlier. Thanks to him, now the seller has to address them. He provides a very detailed report with maintenance tips and suggestions. A 100 page maintenance guide is also included. Would definitely do business with again for my next home purchase.
