I had my home inspection done by Scott Warga on 27 Nov 2012, and I must say the stories are true. Scott is extremely thorough and I am confident that if there is a problem that can be found, he will find it. He also took the time to attempt to correct minor problems that he found. In the case of my inspection, he cleared a slow drain, and un-cloged the garbage disposal. If your buying a house, ACSI is who you should use for your inspection! read more

OK, House #2 attempt. After losing the last house, we were able to get a better one. Again we used ACSI services to get the inspection completed. His inspections again have impressed us. Even in extreme heat warnings for the day, he took his time in the attic making that everything was covered. His inspections were very through and even impressed my wife with his vast knowledge of materials, quality of work, and house in general was outstanding. He was able to notice that we had a wall in the house that was not part of the original design of the house. I couldn't see it. He does have some fantastic stories of previous inspections, I hope I don't become one of those, Hahaha. Again, I do highly recommend him for any inspection services that you have on a home. Also his website was updated to look way better and easier to navigate around, which he let me know of after I complained about it. read more

Had Scott do an inspection as we're getting ready to sell. He's a no bones about it type of guy. A real sergeant major type, but that's what you want in a good inspector. You can always tell when someone not only knows what their doing, but has a passion for it. Professional, courteous, on the ball and gave it to us straight. Scott found things we would've never even considered. Great job. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I are relocating to Arizona from California. Our agent recommended ACSI, and specifically requested Richard Kerwin. We could not be happier with the inspection. We wanted to be present for the inspection but could not. He called us to update us. The report was very thorough with photos and descriptions of all items inspected and any areas of concern. The report was sent the same day. Home buying is stressful enough, it is important to know what you are getting into. We are very thankful our agent recommended Mr. Kerwin. The company and his professionalism has put our minds at ease with our purchase. read more

Wow!!!!!! What a great job by Richard Kerwin and ACSI. Called them up and he did such a thorough inspection on our dream home. Very prompt and very detailed. Would use them again in a heartbeat and will recommend them to all my friends.r read more

Second time we have used this company and was a great experience just like the first time. I will not use anyone else if needed again! Courteous, professional and most importantly, thorough. read more

Buying a house, especially a brand new house, can be a daunting process and I was in the market for someone who would know what to look for and to give me valuable advice as to what to mark down on the various walkthroughs I was about to do. I called Scott and he was able to give me some very valuable insight and knew just what to look for. I cannot thank him enough and I plan on bringing him back a few times after the home closes just to make sure we don't miss anything within the first year in our brand new home. I also plan on having him inspect our current home to give us a game plan on what to fix up before we decide to sell it. I cannot recommend Scott enough. He is a very valuable asset to have when looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Bought my first home researched many home inspection companies. I am so glad that I used ACSI!! Scott was great! He took the time to educate me on some key points of my home and also thoroughly went through everything that he was listing on report. I will recommend them to anyone I know! Thanks again Scott for a great job! read more

Scott does an amazing job inspecting your property. He is cordial, on schedule, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He sets the gold standard for his business. I am a repeat customer and will never use anyone else. I recommend ACSI with no hesitation whatsoever. read more

Scott's expertise, in my opinion, is rarely matched. Extremely thorough and professional are just part of the package. Home Inspections are a necessary evil/cost in any real estate transaction and as a buyer you want someone who is thorough and meticulous, go no further than ACSI. read more

From the very beginning, this team was phenomenal. My husband and I were in the process of purchasing a home, built in 1975. When I called to set up the appointment, their admin (I can't recall her name!!) was a delight and a pleasure to work with. Gave me good feelings right from the start; even scheduled the termite inspection for us as well. Day of inspection comes up and wouldn't you know it, we were blessed by the universe, a thunderstorm decided to roll through. Thank god for this storm or else we would not have seen all the leaks and water pooling on the property until it was too late. Our inspector, Tim Lofgreen, was so thorough and detail-oriented, exactly what we were hoping for for a 41 year old home. He discovered water pooling badly on the inside window sills, much pooling on the roof near parapets, active leaks in the roof, and an odd bedroom in the attic. One thing to note is that the sellers sent us a home inspection they had done in January. I am so glad we got a second opinion because boy did the sellers' inspector miss things. A lot of things. A lot of probably very expensive things. The inspection lasted around 5 hours due to the inclement weather, and he gave us a run-down of the big items he found and his recommendations. After much discussion that evening, we made the decision to walk from the house; a house we thought we could turn into our dream home for many years to come. Due to the high level of detail and the fact that his report was 72 pages and the sellers' inspection was only 20, (we felt the sellers and their agents were also being a bit shady and not forthcoming about issues the house had) we were extremely comfortable walking away because the house would've been a money pit. A wonderful touch they did was send over a page of address labels with the "new homes'" address on it as well as a bundle of postcards with the photo of the home to send to our friends and family. I HIGHLY recommend ACSI for your home inspection needs. They far surpassed my expectations and saved us from making a bad decision. Thanks! read more

Richard Kerwin did my home inspection, and he did a great job. He was very thorough and answered all my questions.

Scott and his team are great! We use them often for our clients who are looking for thorough and knowledgable home inspection services! He is honest and very professional which is very important for Real Estate agents and home buyers looking for a home inspector! I would highly recommend him to my clients and do! read more

All I can say is that I wish Scott Warga had inspected our home when we bought it. He is the best!!!

Scott, with ACSI did my last home inspection for my most recent home purchase. His inspection was thorough and I new what issues I had to deal with at the home I was buying. He put my mind at ease about what was truly major concerns compared to minor, run of the mill home repairs items. The list may have been long but most were of a minor nature. I wouldn't hesitate to use Scott for a home inspection. read more

Tim from acsi was very helpful answering all are question for the home inspection. Very informative and honest with out walk thru. Gladly having him out and check on our future home highly recommended. read more

I asked Scott to inspect the home we're closing on in Tempe, AZ. He was incredible - prompt, thorough, professional, extremely knowledgeable, very patient with all my questions ( i was there for the whole thing - actually was the first time I was seeing the house, too.) And did I say thorough? The entire inspection took almost 6 hours (it is an old ranch and has some "quirks") and Scott didn't let up until he'd investigated every nook and cranny. He even shared his graph paper and water with me, and pointed out SO many things that will come in handy when we're living in the house and maintaining it. Also, beyond his building expertise, he's also extremely well connected. After discovering some major roof damage he hooked me up with a local roofer to do an estimate the next day, and also recommended a great pool repair company and pest control service - all of them prompt, professional, and more cost effective than anybody I found on my own. He's got a great sense of humor, too, and the "gift of gab" which made the whole process a little less daunting, and dare I say, fun?! read more

My inspector didn't do the one specific thing I asked him to look at and document. I practically handed to him on his lap the glaring problem the house had that I wanted looked at and documented. He claimed he looked at it, and found no problem. Total lie. He really never looked at it, otherwise the problem would have been completely obvious. Coincidentally, his light just happened to go dead when he wanted to take a picture of it, so nothing was documented. He also said the bathroom sink drains were fine, even after I told him one of them was completely stopped up. I even had my own video of it, before and after the inspection. I have no idea what this guy actually did. I chose this company becasue they seemed to be more thorough, knowledgeable, and investigative. They also charged way more than other companies, which I didn't mind paying if the service was more thorough. It was in fact terrible. I know this because I did my own inspection beforehand. Just because they write up a nice looking report doesn't mean it's thorough or even accurate. If I didn't find out for myself the glaring items that were wrong with this house, I would have been given the impression that their inspection was good. This company was a total rip-off. Don't pay the premium using these guys when there are so many other cheaper companies that do a better job. read more

As a result of finding yet another defect that was missed in our home inspection last year, I'm lowering my review of this company to just 1-star. I recently found both the hot and cold water valves for the washing machine were frozen when I tried to install a new unit. By the looks of the corrosion around the valves, they'd obviously been in need of replacement for decades. No surprise that yet again my home inspection report doesn't even make mention of inspecting these valves. This ended up being a fairly expensive repair job, because some of the copper plumbing behind the wall needed replacement in addition to the valves. Sure would have been nice to know there was a problem there in advance. read more

Scott took the time to walk through and explain everything associated with my home inspection. As a first-time homebuyer, this is an exciting, yet scary, experience. I am very glad that I chose ACSI to do my home inspection. Scott is not only extremely thorough but very knowledgeable. I feel like I have a good understanding of the house and of the issues that are present. I would highly recommend ACSI to anyone in need of a home inspection. read more

We used ACSI for our home inspection. They stated a sump pump was serviceable. They did not mention the fact there was no power outlet to the pump to run it. We found that out the hard way after our house flooded. We have been trying to get this issue resolved with the owner Scott to cover damage as it was missed by his inspector. We have called several times over 6 weeks and submitted all paperwork requested. We keep hearing Scott will call you today every time we call. 6 weeks later we have yet to receive a call from Scott. He own employees have said he keeps trying to pass the buck to other supervisors. Please do not use them, All of their guarantees are false. We have over 22000 dollars in damage from a flood due to a missed issue. Update 10/9/18. We received a response back from one review stating we have not given them information on anything. We sent them the contractor estimate and gave them the insurance information back in August 2018. Not only did we send it via email but also registered mail. They signed for the mail. They called us on the estimates and called my insurance adjuster in September. This company is untrustworthy and will lie to save themselves money. Again do not trust their guarantees. Please choose another company. read more

We recently used ACSI for the inspection of our new home. Our inspection was done by Tim who did a very thorough job. He also walked us though all the main issues and took the time to explain everything, and recommended a few inexpensive easy fixes. After we moved in I noticed that a 4 way switch wasn't working at our stairs. With all the hassle of moving, I didn't think much of it. After living there for a month it was a big nuisance to not be able to have a light to walk up the stairs at night. Last week I got an email from ACSI asking if I was still pleased with my inspection, and for the record overall I was. I called them and asked if there was anything that could be done b/c I felt the inspector should have found the switches weren't working. They were so helpful, and sent out Dave the next day! He was there promptly at 9am and stayed until the switches were fixed. He even ran to the store and bought a new switch. He was there over 2 and half hours and dealt with my kids jumping over him to get to their rooms. He was AMAZING to stay until the job was done and dealt with all of us in his way. A big thank you to Dave and ACSI for coming out and fixing this for us. It truly is appreciated!!!!! read more
