About Home Spec

Home Spec was founded in 1987 to provide quality home inspections and indoor air quality investigations to homeowners in the Madison area. Our focus these last fifteen years has been on helping homeowners understand how to become successful stewards of their homes and maintain a healthy environment in the home. We hope to ensure that those buildings are well maintained and will provide a safe and hygienic shelter for the next generation of residents.

We work hard to insure that every Home Spec customer receives the best support possible to help them maintain and improve their home. They receive free telephone, fax, and email support for as long as they own the property. We at Home Spec continually pursue the most effective ways to get valuable housing information into the hands of our clients.

The best marketing efforts in the world will not make a poor service successful. At Home Spec, the evaluation of our service's quality is an ongoing process. Customer feedback is an important part of our inspection process and central to our companies growth. We utilize rigorous training to ensure we can provide you with critical information about emerging housing issues and the latest housing industry innovations.
