Hi, we are looking for a reputable home inspector. A trustworthy one that is reasonably priced. Any recommendations greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We used AmeriSpec (http://www.amerispec.com/), and Lou Conte ASHI, ACI was the inspector (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/lou-conte/15/768/94 b), when we had him come out and document some water damage from a leaky shower as our independent consultant when dealing with the builder (who was great about it by the way). Lou was incredibly thorough and spent a good deal of time with me discussing possible causes and solutions, about 90 min total for a leaky shower). I'm not sure of the total cost of what a whole home inspection would be, but IMHO whoever you go with, go after referrals and examples of work. We hired a cheaper inspector in a previous house and the report was woefully inadequate. $300-500 for a $250 k+ investment is well worth it IMHO. Give Lou a call or reach out to Amerispec, we liked him and was a referral from another resident here. Glad we used him. Ver, very professional.
Needing a home inspector for Wednesday at the house we are purchasing. Anyone have someone they recommend? Thorough and good reputation?

Anyone have a home inspector suggestion? Licensed, reputable?

We went thru Amerispec excuse the spelling. They were great even talk and walk with you thru everything on the inspection and they give you a whole binder on everything. http://www.amerispec.com/

They are on the pricey side but we went thru someone else first and they missed a few things that Amerispec found.
