AAlert's Tom is spectacular. I highly recommend hiring this company/Tom for your home inspection…read more From the moment I contacted Tom, I knew I made the right choice. He was very responsive and friendly. His quote was fast and SO reasonably priced for everything you get with their service. A lot of the other companies told me you get what you pay for to justify higher rates, but AAlert was the best prices company and we got so much more from the service. The email quote was very detailed on everything included in the home inspection service (including various warranties which are comforting) and included an online agreement. Tom was available by phone to answer further questions and was so friendly and nice from the get go. He called up my realtor for me and set up a day and time that worked best for us and our realtor to have him come inspect our potential home purchase. On the day of the inspection, Tom was more than on time and ready to get to it. He was very thorough in his inspection of the home and was more than willing to share his knowledge and expertise and experience with us on anything from the smallest issue to the bigger issues. He was so accommodating and thoughtful even of our realtor as he inspected everything in the interior of the house and roof/attic first and saved the exterior and crawl space for last so that our realtor did not need to stay as long. Tom took his time in finding everything and paid attention to every detail so nothing was missed to ensure this whole was thoroughly gone through. He even called us that evening to give us some further information and thoughts he had on a particular issue that came up on the house at the end of the inspection. Ultimately, we decided not to continue with the purchase of the house due to some major findings of the home inspection and we are grateful for Tom's excellent inspection of the house to prevent us from buying something that didn't work for us. I highly recommend hiring AAlert's Tom to inspect your home purchase.

He was very thorough, getting into the attic and searching for the mold in hard to get to places of the home. I am so glad we called him. It turned out the "rehabbed" home we where looking at had toxic mold! Once this was found Mike went above and beyond to explain to us the remedy, cost, and liklyhood of reaccurance. He also put a detailed report together for us outlining what was found including the lab results. I used this to stop the purchace of this home. This is truly a good company with people who care about what they do. Refreshing in a world where personal interaction in restricted to screens.

We used Don to do our home inspection and was pleased with his attention to detail and…read moreprofessional approach. He is a good communicator and was available along the entire process from when I first called him through delivering the report and anytime afterwards. The one thing I appreciated with Don is he is a humble person and explains things in regular terms so you know all aspects of what your getting into. I appreciated his quick ability to schedule the inspection of the home we ultimately purchased. We met together at the home where he was waiting for us on time ready to go. He looked at everything from the roof to everything else in the home down to the foundation. As he was inspecting everything he was pointing out specifics good or bada which helped us get to know the house better and anything we should consider in the future to be addressed. We received the inspection report which was extremely detailed. I was very impressed with all the photos of findings and supporting comments. An example of something to be addressed had pictures w arrows showing specificity what he wrote up the item for review. I was able to take his online report and highlight what items we were going to go back for the seller on which creates a summary with all of dons findings and supporting pictures. I was impressed with that aspect for certain. I was comforted that he was available to discuss anything when needed afterwards and never felt brushed aside or like we go a report and he was done. In short - I would absolutely use watchmen again and would recommend using them for your Inspection. I'm a picky person just to put it out there ... and Don was on top of things every step of the way and beyond !

I already knew a fair amount about repairs et al, and Josh was able to answer my questions in detail, so it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. He didn't go beyond what could be fairly asserted, but did ensure that I knew what I should look out for as possible problems in future. I noted their attention to detail - e.g. there were written checks in place to ensure that lights were off, the thermostat was reset, and the door locked behind us. Things like possibly missing or broken screens, lack of outlets in certain areas, a step that was too high were all noted. The cost was very fair and the results were high-quality. I felt that it gave us the information we needed to negotiate fairly with the sellers. Basically, I walked away with a manual that I will refer to in order to ensure that I am checking potential problems and budgeting for future repairs. I could most definitely see asking for a return inspection in a few years to ensure that I was taking care of this very expensive purchase properly! The one VERY picky thing that I would suggest is a table of contents in the writeup, as I wasn't aware that categories of significant findings and advice for future repairs and maintenance were listed at the end of the report.

Con (depending on your priorities): Fee was higher than bids by other inspectors, but, for me, I got what I paid for.
