With that knowledge I can honestly say that PST Engineering has been one of the best decision I have ever made. Instead of assuming that the property you are purchasing looks good so it must be good. I decided to play it safe and actually know for a fact and have some peace of mind forever going forward. Well, would you know it the property that I made an offer on had about $70k in unseen fixes to be done? Thanks to PST, that property is not my responsibility. I currently could not be happier in my current residence, which is Certified Solid by PST. It also doesn't hurt that they are nice people and will work with you on whatever you need, simply ask them. Call them before you pay for something to be fixed that does not need fix your problem.

Frank is very personable, explained all areas of interest which would raise flags, which items should be given immediate attention and others which were normal settling such as vertical/horizontal cracking. His suggestions of benefits such as additional attic insulation, drainage away from the foundation, etc., put us at ease that nothing serious was noticed, just maintaining good maintenance practices. Frank made sure all our questions were answered and stated not to hesitate to contact him for any issues in the future prior to hiring someone. Highly recommend 'PST ENGINEERING'.

On July 30, 2020 the HomeTeam conducted a whole home inspection on my behalf as a buyer of a home…read moreat 3615 SW Springcreek Ct in Topeka, KS. During the inspection the area experienced torrential rainfall. After the initial on site briefing, but while some of the inspections team who had arrived late were still conducting tests, I waited in the garage for the storm to pass. During that time another contractor from a pest control company informed me that the finished area of the basement had begun flood through an egress window. I immediately went back into the home and was informed by one of the HomeTeam inspectors to"be careful going down into the basement as water was coming in". I witnessed some fairly significant water coming into the room and accumulating on the carpet. I immediately notified the listing agent who recommended HomeTeam for the inspection of the issue. She indicated she had already been notified by Maurie Blick, the head inspector. On the following day I was astonished to find that the written report of the inspection contained no information about the basement flooding. I promptly phoned Maurie to express my concern and he agreed to issue an Addendum to the report to help me in negotiation with the property owner. Unfortunately, the Addendum itself only made vague reference to "concerns on the part of the buyer and in consideration of recent storm water issues" without specifically noting the water intrusion. I have no evidence to support this claim, but I feel this downplaying of the significance of the flooding is related to the ongoing cozy relationship between the HomeTeam and the listing agent in this transaction. Needless to say the soft language in the reports made negotiations with the seller in this instance more difficult for me as the buyer. I believe the lack of detailed description of the flooding to be both unprofessional and grossly negligent.

We were fortunate to find Amerispec through our realtor referral, and because coincidentally this inspector (Garrison) had actually been to this particular house a week before. It worked out well that he had been there and had the other buyer back out so we could ask him anything about what he found and really dig into it. Garrison was quick to get to work, to double check everything and make recommendations of all kinds. While we love the house, we tried to keep an objective mind and waited for any huge red flags. Luckily, despite the age of this house, Garrison gave us a report back that didn't give us any cause for alarm and we're closing later this month. He was very helpful, very thorough, and well priced. Oh and guess what? RIGHT ON TIME! That's big for me, and he was as punctual as he could be. Our roofing contractor/inspector on the other hand showed up two hours late. I would highly recommend Amerispec and Garrison whether you've been down the house buying road or not!

I have used laser for termite solutions. But just recently I had a problem with Beatles and…read morespider's I called orkin n blue beetle and few others. They just gave me a run around. So I called laser they came out and sprayed I have not seen a spider since. And while he was spraying he over heard me telling my husband that I can't get no one to spray my roses for beetles n said he will spray my roses. Now let me tell you I was so excited to pick off dead beetles instead of live ones now my roses are beautiful again. One of the things I like about laser is they are truthful they don't try to sell you something that you don't need. They are dependable. Now that is part of my story. A week after that I was a birthday party for my husband before the party we was setting out side getting ate up by mosquitoes and it was Saturday day before the party. N I called laser to see if they could help me out I talked to Richard. Now I've always talked to Cory but this time I talked to Richard he couldn't get one of his guys at such a short notice and on Saturday so he arranged for this other man to come out. My party was a success and we didn't get ate up by mosquitoes. I thank you guys so much. So the moral of this story is if you have a pest problem don't call no one else but laser they will take care of you.
