Fancy Wrapping for a Lousy Product. AmeriSpec inspected the home I bought in January. They use a computer for digital pictures and a to print a final report in a binder, so they LOOK professional. However, their work is very poor. After eight months, I've spent hundreds of dollars repairing things they should have caught or made up excuses for the problems. Some examples: 1) Attached to the back of the house, the main power line from the meter to the basement circuit box was buried. This is totally against code! Once I dug it out, I found most of it was almost rusted through. Cost me almost $500 to repair. The inspector couldn't have missed this! No, there wasn't any snow covering it. 2) I questioned the inspector about the living room and bedroom windows opening so hard. He said they were “frozen.” No, they are broken! The spiral guides on the sides are all missing or broken. 3) my realtor and I both questioned the fog on the master bedroom window. He said “that’s on the outside.” No, it was definitely on the inside. The entire window is still foggy. 4) The basement window did not lock, and therefore did not seal. I had to replace it right away. 5) He said the electrical outlet by the patio door just needed a GFI outlet. No, it wasn’t even wired correctly to the main box. 6) The lights below the microwave never worked, yet his report said they did. DO NOT hire these guys or you will regret it!
