About

ALL other inspector organizations allow membership to anyone who pays a fee! Anyone can advertise or be referred to as a "Home Inspector", even "licensed interns" who are still learning.

Joe did our homeinspection recently. He was very professional and informative. He answered any and all questions/concerns we had. Everything was done in a timely manner and Vera was a pleasure to work with over the phone setting everything up. Would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a homeinspection.

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 homeinspection
We hired AA-MSA to conduct a homeinspection 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.
Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge our services.
It was a pleasure working with you

From my first interaction with Vita to my last, every moment of the homeinspection 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 responded quickly to my inquiry and offered a fair price for the inspection. He explained everything as I walked around with him and offered suggestions on items to fix before listing the property for sale. Would definitely use him again.
