General Home Inspection: A home inspection helps provide buyers peace of mind by giving valuable information on the investment they are about to make. An AmeriSpec® inspection provides a visual examination of more than 400 items in a home from the foundation to the roof. Our inspectors are trained to perform a professional inspection that meets the highest standards in the industry-the Standards of Practice established by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

Our 400+ item inspection findings are packaged in an attractive, easy-to-reference, three-ring binder. The AmeriSpec Report^TM-acknowledged by Realtors® as the gold standard for home inspection reports-features a comprehensive evaluation of the home, a 193 page Home Maintenance Manual, a seasonal maintenance checklist, and a variety of home-related services from our ServiceMaster® partner companies.

AmeriSpec® inspector's go through extensive training and continuing education, always striving to enhance the quality of each inspection conducted. AmeriSpec® offers the best training in the industry by combining classroom instruction and hands-on technical training in our state of the art training facility. To enhance training in the classroom, AmeriSpec uses a complete educational training system developed specifically for AmeriSpec by Carson Dunlop and Associates, one of the most respected names in professional home inspection training.
