Throughout the entire process, AHI showed exceptional customer service and expertise. I would consider them the best inspection company for competitive pricing, service and knowledge. Prior to the inspection, I called in multiple times to ask questions regarding the inspection process, since my being a first time buyer. Jessica was extremly helpful and knowledgable. David, the owner was excellent in answering all my questions as well via email. Hunter did the inspection and did an amazing job. He found things that were necessary to be repaired. The report came back in a timely manner. Hunter was patient in answering my questions to ensure I understood everything on the report. I will for sure be using AHI again and would recommend them to any family or friend. Thank you so much AHI team!!

I highly recommend David Johnson and AHI Inspections. He is very thorough and the reports are very detailed with pictures showing all details needed to understand any issues. David is very personable and freely shares his deep knowledge of structures and structural dynamics. He encourages questions and discussion on the issues he sees. When it comes to a home inspection, this is the kind of service you need!

Can't say enough good things about Jessica and Hunter at AHI. Jessica handled the booking process and answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. She was a fantastic first contact and remained incredibly helpful throughout the rest of the process.

Hunter was an outstanding inspector. He didn't balk at having me present during the inspection (in fact, he encouraged it), welcomed questions, gave explanations that were scaffolded to be both easy to understand and still detailed and comprehensive. He took his time on the property and explored every inch. I still don't know how he managed to fit into certain places in the attic and crawlspace, but he did, and thank goodness he did, because he saved us from a $500k mistake. He took lots of photos and notes and his report was easy to understand. Can't wait to use him again when we make another offer on a home. My realtor also mentioned that he's her new "go to" guy for when clients ask for recommendations.

JACKIE SANTOS
Had a great experience with Hunter. So glad we hired them to do our inspection. Usually you would think new construction homes will not need one. But we are so glad we did. There was a long list of repairs items and we were able to go back to the builder and have them fix it. Communication and expertise was key and Hunter exuded that above and beyond. 1000% recommend them!! Thank you again Hunter and team.

I would recommend AHI to everyone. Hunter was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He walked us through his findings like we were old friends and explained what everything meant, he didn’t hesitate to report anything he found and he was persistent that his findings would get addressed.

Ashley Simmons
We had the pleasure of working with Hunter for both our pre-drywall and move-in inspections, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Hunter was professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure we felt confident and informed throughout the process. His eye for detail gave us peace of mind, knowing that nothing was overlooked. We truly appreciate his patience, clear communication, and dedication to doing a quality job. We would highly recommend Hunter to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy inspector!
Margaret Antosek
Hunter did a thorough inspection of our home and was patient and detailed in explaining the report to us. Highly recommended!
Katie Doig
Hunter and the team at AHI have been my go-to for many years. Not only are they incredibly detailed and efficient, but they do not hesitate to go over and above. I have had many clients reach out to ask more in-depth questions and they always assist. I have had other agents get MAD at just how detailed the reports are—that speaks volumes. I would recommend them to anyone that wants true value and care. They always give 110% to my clients and it does not go unnoticed.

This is my third property inspection with AHI and Hunter Griggs and they are both excellent! AHI and Hunter Griggs were recommended to me by my Realtor and I have used AHI & Hunter ever since. I live out of State and it's reassuring to know that Hunter and AHI have my back. Thank you AHI and Hunter for your thorough inspections. You guys found issues that I would not have known about.
Albert Primavera
