I cannot say enough good things about Joe and his inspector Jeff! Firstly, as a first-time buyer I was exceedingly nervous. I must have called over a dozen home inspection companies and finally a co-worker referred me to Joe. He immediately made me feel at ease, explaining what they do and the qualifications of his team. Jeff was the inspector who came out for the first property I opened escrow on. He was meticulous in his work and spent hours on his inspection. Ultimately, their detailed report lead me to cancel the sale on that house, as it revealed too many repairs needed for me to be comfortable. I requested Jeff again when I found a new home. I am expecting to close on the sale in a couple days :) Joe has even been available to me for referrals and questions after the inspection phase had passed. Which has been amazingly helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Our Inspector Aaron did a great job. He explained every bit of detail with no jargon. They used drone to capture the broken tiles in the roof and I don't think any other inspector would have caught via visual inspection. They noticed a stain in the roof and used thermal imaging to confirm if it's active stain or not. Overall a great experience and highly recommend! read more

This is the second time I've used Amerispec, and I specifically requested Sasha after a great first experience. Amerispec goes above and beyond my expectations. Sasha is extremely thorough, and explains everything at the end of the inspection. The report is highly detailed and includes pictures of basically everything they look at. Highly recommend! read more

Joe was great to work with for the booking and Aaron was excellent on site. He had our report ready by the next day and it was more thorough than any other inspector I have seen before including thermal imaging of a leak in the garage roof that the owners fixed before we moved in. Aaron even came back over to help with a problem I had with the water valves because Best Buy said they couldn't install our washer and dryer with the corrosion they had on them. He checked them again and assured me that they were no leaks and that it was safe for installation. My husband ended up replacing the valves but it was nice that they went the extra mile to follow up on their work. These guys are solid. read more

Not often do you find a company with the integrity and professionalism AmeriSpec demonstrated. Owner, Joe, responded quickly with a date for the home inspection required during escrow. Val, camera and clipboard in hand, arrived on time and began a thorough investigation of the property. After he finished, we sat down and looked at the photos and narrative Val had prepared. This task was difficult since seller stalker was looking over our shoulders. We all felt uncomfortable with seller stalker listening, so Val later prepared thick pages of photos, narrative and recommendations for our review. Thank you Val! A special thank you to Joe who continued to provide us with recommendations for highly respected roof and sewer inspectors. read more

AmeriSpec was very quick and flexible to respond to my need for an escrow home inspection. The inspection was thorough and detailed; the woman sent, professional and friendly. I was impressed with the quality of the report sent that evening and the number of photos included. I would recommend this service to friends and family. read more

My inspection was completed by Aaron and I can't say enough good things about him. He was punctual, personable, and very polite. I was amazed at how detailed he was during the inspection. I mean he checked everything from the exterior of the house to the cabinets, bathtubs, and he even noted the kitchen sink needed a splash guard. My wife and I are first time home buyers and Aaron was great in looping us in to what he was looking at and he asked us what concerns we had with the house. The inspection report was completed in about 5 hours and everything is noted in the report. Plenty of pictures and recommendations. If you are looking for someone to inspect your house, I highly recommend Joe and his team! read more

AmeriSpec provided the best experience possible. My wife and I are buying a home for the first time in Thousand Oaks. I called a few different home inspection companies looking for the best rates and customer service. After calling AmeriSpec, I knew I had to look no further. Joe was great on the phone - very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. When it came time to perform the home inspection, Aaron maintained that level of customer service. He was incredibly thorough in his inspection, and explained each item in detail. You may be able to find a cheaper home inspection service out there, but nothing will compare to the efficiency, service, and professionalism AmeriSpec provides. read more

Excellent service. We hired AmeriSpec based on the glowing reviews here on Yelp, and could not have been happier. AmeriSpec is not the cheapest option in town, but with such a large investment, this isn't the place for bargain hunting. Our potential new house is large and very old, and we needed a very thorough inspection. Aaron showed up early and spent 5-6 hours thoroughly going through the house, attic, pool, etc. We received our 47 page inspection report that evening and were blown away by the level of detail provided, down to calling out the wrong screws on an electrical board and other items not installed to manufacturer's recommendations. I'm sure there are plenty of items uncovered in our inspection that others would have missed. It was a pleasure working with AmeriSpec. It felt great knowing they had our back and were looking out for our best interest. read more

I had found AmeriSpec based on Yelp reviews and all the glowing feedback they received. On a Friday I called their number and left a message about an inspection for a home purchase. I received a text message from Joe later that day. We went back and forth texting and setup an inspection for the next week. Confirmed through text messages. On the day of the inspection he was supposed to come at 9 am. I was going to come later around 11 to review his findings but I get a call from our friend around 10 am saying that the inspector was not there. I texted Joe to find out what happened and was I shocked with his response. He knowingly overrode my appointment with no follow up. He told me that I never followed up, never gave him my email, and never confirmed. He went ahead and screenshot his text messages to prove it to me. There was no apology, no empathy, and all the blame was on me. Let's assume that I didn't text him my email. I would think that not even good but average customer service would dictate that you would follow up before cancelling an appointment. But instead he decided it was better to disregard my appointment and schedule somebody else. I had needed this done quickly as we were getting close to the deadline we had to get an inspection done in escrow. So I was upset that the inspection didn't happen but when I found out that he made a decision to disregard my appointment this took me to another level. I decided to cool down before I wrote my review. I actually deleted my initial review that I wrote that day. I almost passed on coming back to this but I felt like I had to. I found them on yelp so I should give my experience on yelp. To wrap this up I did text my email address to him the same Friday that we had setup this appointment. This was mere minutes after he agreed on the date and time which is an appointment confirmation. While his phone shows that he didn't receive my text message. My phone shows that I did send it with no delivery errors. I agree that glitches can happen with technology but a quick follow up call or text from him would have solved this. Instead I had my appointment disregarded and cancelled knowingly. read more

AmeriSpec has the best customer service I have ever experienced. Aaron came out to inspect the home my boyfriend and I are in the process of buying, and he did the most thorough inspection you could imagine. His attention to detail really made us comfortable with going through escrow and he answered all our questions! We are so, so happy with AmeriSpec and would recommend them to everyone we know! read more

Great people, honest, and thorough. Aaron inspected my soon to be house was very nice and friendly when I met him. Joe the owner actually met me at Simi Valley Building and Safety to review permits on the house. I cannot say better things about the individuals at AmeriSpec! read more

As a local Realtor, I met Joe many years ago when I was first a Realtor. I remember when my buyer and I picked him to do an inspection, almost randomly, the sellers agent asked who was doing the home inspection and when I told her, she asked me to get a different inspector. She said that he was so nit-picky that he was a "deal killer". Of course, I knew I needed to know him. For me, when I represent a buyer, I want them to KNOW what they are getting. If the home is in shambles but the buyer KNOWs it, if the home looks like a pig with lipstick, I want my buyer to KNOW it, if it's a solid house I want my buyer to KNOW it. I always feel confident that Joe with Amerispec gives my buyers ALL the information he detects and tells them what more they should seek out (additional inspections). Joe is on time, doesnt mind if the buyer follows him around for the entire inspection or only follows for the summary. He provides information in a way that is easy for buyers to understand. He provides a comprehensive electronic report, with integrated pictures later the same day. Joe answers all of my questions, sometimes even weeks after we close a home purchase and he is my first stop for professional advice. read more

Joe sent out Aaron to inspect a mobile home in Oxnard. He was punctual, professional and thorough. He took pictures of every area of concern and emailed me a full report. I had to leave before the inspection was done but he briefed me on what he found before I left. He seems very knowledgeable...highly recommended... read more

Amerispec did a thorough inspection and walk through of the property. I had questions after the report was completed and I was able to get answers without any problems. I recommend this company for anyone that needs a home inspection. read more

Joe Nernberg was amazing. He did a home inspection for our new home in early April 2013. He was extremely thorough, made things easy to understand, and even emailed my husband and I extra reading materials. Thank you for everything Amerispec! read more

Very thorough inspection. Inspector was easy to work with. Great job.

Joe has helped me, just last week with a Probate Sale home inspection and is very good with a sense of humor too. He came out to Little Tujunga Canyon in Santa Clarita and didn't even complain about the long drive. It's the little things that count in real estate. It's a very hands on business and it's nice to work with people who understand homes like Joe. Thanks for your help and hope you can have some kind words for me too. Jason Hector, Short Sale Specialist and Real Estate Broker read more

I had my property inspected just last week. This is my second home purchase. The home inspector, Devin, was thorough, detailed, approachable, and spent time answering all my questions and concerns, even after the inspection was completed. I talked to both Devin and Joe, both of who returned my calls and emails quickly. Joe provided me with specific information about my property, and a referral to a structural contractor, who then contacted me shortly a couple of hours later. For my next property, I would use AmericSpec again. I would also recommend this company to anyone who is a first time home buyer (who may be confused about the process), or anyone for that matter. For my first home, I used a different inspection company, and the inspector never returned my 3 emails or 2 phone calls. That is not at all the case with AmeriSpec. Both Joe and Devin went above and beyond what was expected - my questions were answered after business hours, and I received proper referrals. They were both super friendly to boot. I would highly recommend this company. read more

My wife & I bought a home and needed an inspection. They were on time and did a great job. Fast return on the report as well and answered all questions. read more

Aaron Tibbs and Joe Nernberg are professionals from head to toe. They make the home inspection process so easy and flawless. After Aaron did his home inspection for us he spent a half an hour going over every single detail of the home, and actually saved us from buying a rotted condo with slanted slab and bad foundation. Aaron thanks to you and Amerispec we were able to get her an absolute jem of a condo and not that dump you a condo you first inspected. KUUUUUUUUDOS to the staff at AmerSpec what outstanding customer service. read more

Joe and Aaron helped me inspect two homes back in 2018 (yes I am just now getting around to it!) We were so stoked on the first house - blinded you could say - and he shared some inconvenient truths that eventually saved us from a lot of work we weren't budgeting for. They also helped me mitigate a chimney issue I had with some great recommendations for specialty inspection. Further, Joe answered a few of my questions after I bought the house when I had no one else to ask. Great guys. They give you a really nice info packet afterwards which was a nice touch. I recommend them. read more

Joe Nernberg is great. We met Joe through our realtor here in Simi Valley. This is actually the 3rd home inspection that I've done with houses that I've purchased. This one was hands down the best. Joe was on time, friendly and very informative. He gave us a binder with some helpful tips on taking care of the home after we move in as well. The best part was his openness to questions. We had some pointed concerns about a few areas in the house and he took the time to inspect those for us and answered questions about them. We actually sold our home at this same time and Joe's report was twice as long as the report that was done on the house we sold. Joe's report had photos and explanations next to the pertinent issues. Just goes to show you his thoroughness and attention to detail. If I can give just one piece of advice... when you buy a home, don't skimp on the home inspection. You need a true professional like Joe to show you the ins and outs of your new place. Joe is second to none! read more

After researching many inspection companies we decided to go with AmeriSpec, and were very happy we did! Joe was very extremely helpful from the first phone call ensuring that we had everything we needed for a thorough home inspection. The inspector spent the time to note and take photos of every detail and we received our inspection report almost immediately after. I could not be happier with the service from AmeriSpec who went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and to help with everything. I definitely recommend them and would absolutely use them again. read more

We are first time home buyers, and had no idea what to expect when having our potential new home inspected. We were referred to Joe by our Real Estate Agent, so I was a little skeptical and brought my "Mike Holmes" home inspection checklist. Not only did Joe take the extra time to wade through all of my questions about "what does this do", "does this seem weird to you", but he pro-actively showed me things I would never have even thought twice about. Joe brought a really neat tool, an infrared camera, which he showed me... it looks through your walls like an x-ray so you can see where there used to be a door, or where there is hot/cold air escaping. He was also available to meet with us on a Sunday, which was extremely convenient! When I shared Joe's report with my sister, an Architect, she agreed that he was very thorough and knowledgeable about his area of expertise. Joe is a very experienced Inspector, whom I would highly recommend to anyone looking for this service. read more

Joe was great and very knowledgable. He was very thorough and addressed all of our concerns. He does his thing and then goes over his findings with you towards the end. A binder with all the info is provided. I would definitely recommend him! A funny thing i heard about him was he is a selling agent's nightmare because he points out everything that is a concern, which can be a problem for the seller but truly an asset for the buyer. You want someone like Joe to inform you of any and all issues before making such a life changing purchase! read more

We used Joe Nernberg for two inspections in Ventura, CA and were extremely satisfied! The first one was a home we were ready to close on. He discovered some major foundation cracks under the crawlspace along with many other problems and code violations and we decided not to buy the home. Joe saved us from making a huge mistake! We then had him look at another home, a much better one which we were able to buy with confidence knowing that it had only minor imperfections. His report was very clear and included detailed photos. He also gave us a very useful manual on home repairs. Joe is unbelievably thorough and knowledgable, dependable and prompt. He also has a great sense of humor! We enthusiastically recommend Joe for home inspections. read more

I just wanted to give a shout out to Justin Beard. He did a very thorough job inspecting the property. He took time to answer all my questions in a very professional and friendly manner. He is a Master Painter and has a deep working-knowledge of home construction and building. I think he went above-and-beyond his responsibilities. I'd highly recommend Justin to any home buyers out there. Good job Justin and thanks for looking out for me. P.S. Justin's last name is Beard and he has an awesome beard. read more

Very thorough work. The inspector took the time to go through the details and the inspection report is very clear. Good work and good customer service. read more

Amerispec Inspection Services evaluated my new house in Ventura (I had to buy "as is" to get it). I had only paid for a home inspection once in the past - 11 years ago before buying my first house - and Amerispec did a vastly superior job. Amerispec was well worth the money. read more

If you are looking for a home inspector, look no further. Joe and his team at AmeriSpec are the real deal and consummate professionals. For starters, setting up the appointment was a breeze. We set the date and they sent me the agreement via email. On the day of the inspection, our inspector, Sasha, showed up on time and ready. She did a very thorough job and was impressive in carrying out her work. She inspected the home methodically with a keen eye on issues and needed repairs. At the end of the inspection, she walked us through a wrap up to summarize her findings complete with pictures. Here's the best part, we got her written report on the same day complete with the details and explanation of her findings. I am very impressed and highly recommend Joe and his team at AmeriSpec! The were not the lowest priced, but if you are looking for value and an honest/thorough report, AmeriSpec is the way to go! read more

My husband and I went ahead and booked AmeriSpec due to a family friends recommendation and by the great reviews online for home inspections. Aaron Tibbs was our inspector and he did fantastic on overviewing the entire home. We went based on his recommendations and decided to do other inspections and it was well worth it. Overall great service and very reliable. We received our digital report in less than two hours after the inspection . Great and recommend to anyone. read more

I was referred to Amerispec by a friend and THANK GOD we were because they saved us ALOT of money and heartache! Our story goes like this: We were referred to Joe's AmeriSpec company by a friend. I read all of the yelp reviews and then my husband and I decided to hire Amerispec (Joe's company) to inspect a house we were in escrow with. It was the first time my husband and I had ever put an offer on a house and so you can imagine we were extremely excited when our offer was accepted and we immediately began escrow. Aaron Tibbs was our inspector. He was arrived early to inspect the exterior of the house and he literally stayed for about 4 hours to give us the utmost through inspection. He crawled through the tiniest attic space, took pictures, explained different aspects of the house to us while we were there and even e-mailed us a report of what he found in the same day. He was true a professional with a pleasant demeanor. End result: We expected that the house would have some minor problems with it as it was an older house, but we didn't imagine that there would be punctured asbestos covered airducts in the attic, a roof on it's last leg, a pool that would need to be completely resurfaced with a new motor installed and that it would have the original electric panel from 1961 which means the whole house would basically need to be rewired. Not to mention, there was even a larger laundry list of other major issues I will not bore you with. Needless to say, we ended up canceling escrow on that house. If it was not for Joe's Ameri spec crew, we could have potentially bought a house that would have cost us over $20,000 to fix, just to get the house to a safe/non-hazardous level. Thank you so much Joe and Aaron. You both are rock stars in our eyes and we look forward to using you again in our next inspection for the next house we are in escrow with! read more

Joe and Aaron impressed me with their thoroughness, knowledge, and professionalism. Joe was extremely friendly and polite on the phone scheduling our inspection. Aaron did our actual inspection. He showed up on time and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. The report was well done. I will recommend AmeriSpec Inspection Services to any of my friends or family. read more

I don't like writing reviews, but once in a while there's a company or service that is so amazing that it's simply the right thing to do. Joe and his team did an inspection on a house that I'm in escrow on and he was simply amazing. Extremely detailed and meticulous, there is nothing that gets by these folks. Which is fantastic because the last thing you want to do when you're buying a house is have a surprise down the road. Amerispec was recommended to me by my real estate agent after they had cost him money when he inspected a house that he was selling. Now they're the preferred inspector for any houses he purchases. I can see why!!! read more

What a pleasant experience, they came out on rather short notice helping us meet a short inspection period. Aaron was great, he was there before the promised time, and completed his exterior inspections before we got there. Inside he was very thorough, explaining what he found along the way, explaining the mechanicals of the condo, and where things like gas meter, electrical disconnects, and water shut off are located. He gave us a run through before he left, and the report was e mailed to us that evening, complete with pictures, and info on age of mechanicals. I highly recommend them, and would use them again. Thanks AmeriSpec for making this easy. read more

Vic was very professional and thorough in his inspection. He took his time to inspect the property that I was in escrow. The report was timely and very thorough. There was no detail to escape. From now on he is my number one inspector to go to for me and my circle. Highly recommend. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Joe and Aaron. It has truly been a pleasure working with both in getting an inspection completed while we were purchasing an new home. Joe was nothing but wonderful to speak with and coordinate, very accommodating to our schedule. Aaron did the inspection and we had the report same day, a very detailed and informative report. After the report Joe was very diligent in following up, wanting to ensure we were satisfied and offered his service to answer any questions we may have had about the report. This company clearly cares about what they do and the people they're helping out, there's no shoddy or exaggerated work here. I will absolutely be recommending Joe and Aaron to anyone needing their services, thank you both!! read more

These guys are great! They get you in last minute and do very detailed reports with a super fast turn around. We were in escrow on a home that has been empty for 200+ days, as the sellers had moved. Amerispec came and spent 4-5 hours going over everything. The guy was knowledgable and seemed to enjoy his job...which, I don't care if you're a garbage man, if you actually enjoy what you do, to some degree, I believe the work/output is better than a person who doesn't. Anyway, the house came back solid, but due to the fire we had to pull out of escrow. we've recently gone into escrow on an even better home, that is over 1,000+ sq ft bigger and Joe and the fellas were able to get us in on very short notice, during a window that the seller had open for us to have inspections, AND still charged us the same price, as a courtesy. Which I appreciate not being nickeled and dimed to death. Thank you! We'll be seeing them in a couple of days :) read more

1st Class Operation! Timely and thorough. We received a detailed inspection report the same day. Amazing service!
