Bill Box (and his wife) of American Building Science inspected a house for me in Madisonville, KY in June 2026. He came highly recommended by friends and colleagues, and the name of his company truly fits, especially the emphasis on science. Bill's inspection and final report were exceptionally thorough. The report included clear descriptions, photos, and a helpful color‑coding system to show the severity of each issue. The digital format was user‑friendly and made it easy for my agent to request repairs from the sellers. Bill himself was kind, highly professional, and patient with every question we had. He also took us on a brief walkthrough of his inspection, pointing out items that needed attention either immediately or in the near future. One of Bill's greatest strengths is his honesty. He's not afraid to give a straightforward professional opinion about the condition of the home, including whether the buyer should consider walking away if major repairs are likely. If you want a home inspector who is meticulous, trustworthy, and provides an interactive, detailed report that's genuinely useful for you and your agent, look no further than Bill Box of American Building Science. I highly recommend his services. read more

Mr. Box was very professional with us. I have known of his thorough and respected inspection reputation for many years as he has inspected homes I was selling. This time, I was the buyer and we were very pleased with his attention to detail. There was a detail that he was able to explain to me and help me realize that it was very correctable and nothing much to worry with. He also provided information on who all could be contacted and how the minor infraction could be easily corrected. Our sellers were pleased and appreciative of his information. Our entire little circle of this home buying process was really nice thanks to all of his help. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Bill Box to anyone needed a home inspection. read more
