Wow Joe was such an amazing inspector, he took the time to walk me through the house and saw details that I couldn’t see. This was a great educational opportunity to learn more about my new home purchase. I highly recommend Joe. Thank you for your time and service Joe.

OMG! John was the absolute BEST!! He arrived early ("if you're early you're on time, if you're on time, you're late".), he was professional, and so thorough! John addressed every nook and cranny of the home we are looking at purchasing. He told us what would need to be addressed in order of importance, and we had his comprehensive report when we woke up the next morning!! John explained things to us clearly, as he inspected the home, pointed things out to us so we would know what he was referring to, and so there were no "surprises" in the report. John didn't just do the inspection, and send us a report, he made sure we understood what the concerns were and how concerning they were. I can not say enough about John and AA-MSA. We were able to schedule quickly, and the price was reasonable. I will definitely be recommending him to others, and will look to have him inspect any projects we so at our new home!

We hired AA-MSA to conduct a home inspection prior to purchasing a home. We reached out to a few companies but AA-MSA was the most responsive and provided great value. Our home inspector was Rich M. He was punctual and was wearing a polo shirt with the company's name properly showing his affiliation. He also introduced himself and gave us a brief summary of what he will be doing and what we should expect. He was very knowledgeable and personable and we felt safe around him. We moved to another portion of the home so that he could conduct his inspection alone. When he was done with the basement, he called us and showed us issues, level of seriousness, and what to expect if not mitigated, as well as possible solutions. Rich did this with every level of the home, showing us the issues and providing an explanation and solutions. He took his time to ensure that every corner of the home was inspected. He also answered all of our questions. We received the inspection report the following day. The report was very detailed and definitely assisted in our decisions with the home-buying process. The company also reached out after the inspection to check on our experience. Highly recommended.

From my first interaction with Vita to my last, every moment of the home inspection process was a pleasure. Not only was she professional, she was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Joe arrived for the inspection on time and in the pouring rain. Took his time outside and was completely thorough through every part of the house. He then sat and explained EVERYTHING to us! Icing on the cake, we received our report in less than 24 hours... on the weekend! I will recommend everyone I know to AA-MSA. THANK YOU JOE & VITA!! Yes 👏

Joe was early to the inspection and was very thorough in all areas of the home. Their report was quickly completed and very detailed and easy to read. I would have no issues recommending them to anyone who needs a home inspection
