Going Above and Beyond
In addition to the licensing requirements outlined by the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board:
- Extensive Field Training: Every new home inspector accompanies a veteran AHI inspector on a minimum of 250 inspections before being cleared for solo work. No inspector works independently until they prove they can inspect any home, regardless of age, size, or complexity.
- Rigorous Vetting: We vet every team member to ensure they have both the technical expertise to identify defects and the communication skills to explain findings clearly.
- Industry Compliance: Our training protocols align with the current standards of practice set by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI).
- Ongoing Education: Beyond the continuing education required to keep their licenses active, our inspectors complete an additional 20 hours of training selected by the founder, keeping them current on standards of practice and industry trends.
- Quality Assurance: The owner continues to monitor our home inspectors by consistently “spot checking” their home inspections as well as their reports.
- Growth & Development: Beyond formal coursework, our inspectors regularly review new building products, construction methods, and common defects found in Charlotte-area homes, and share what they learn with the rest of the team.
Ultimately, our end goal is to help you understand the house, so we’re careful to avoid jargon and to communicate clearly. This knowledge will enable you to make the best decision for you and your family.
I would definitely recommend Hunter for any future inspections!!!
Hunter was knowledgeable and listened to what our concerns were. He thoroughly went through our house. I will be coming back and doing our post inspection review with AHI once our punch list is done. I highly recommend this company!
Had a second inspection with Bradley. He was thorough. No detail too small. He gave me a full report quickly and went over the details.
Pam
What I appreciated most was how detailed he was and how clearly everything was documented with photos and explanations. I left the inspection feeling much more informed and confident about what needed to be addressed before closing. You can tell Hunter genuinely cares about protecting his clients and isn’t afraid to look closely at the details.
If you’re looking for an inspector who is thorough, patient, and truly has your best interest in mind, I highly recommend Hunter!
I had an excellent experience with Hunter Griggs and AHI Residential & Commercial Inspections. Hunter was professional, knowledgeable, and very thorough throughout the entire inspection process. He took the time to explain his findings, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood the condition of the home.
The inspection report was detailed, well organized, and easy to read, with clear photos and helpful recommendations. It gave me confidence in making an informed decision during my home-buying process.
I highly recommend Hunter and AHI Residential & Commercial Inspections to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and professional home inspector. Thank you, Hunter, for your outstanding service!
