Testimonials
Chuck was a great inspector to work with. He is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable inspector we have worked with. He is very professional while still maintaining a friendly demeanor and charisma. Whenever we had questions he was able to answer with confidence and I never felt uncomfortable asking for clarification. I highly recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a top notch home inspector.

Thank you for helping my clients on a Saturday for their inspections as time was of essence. Also thank you for not charging them for insect inspections as this was the second house they used you for. They liked working with you very much. I appreciated your cooperation too and thoroughness.

Charlie was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable and detailed in his evaluation process. He not only inspected the home, but provided a great deal of home owning knowledge and ideas for items he saw in my home to be. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends and look forward to using him again on any future home / property purchases.

Our family has had Chuck do four home inspections. He is always professional and personable. Also, Chuck consistently follows industry standards; and just as importantly he is mindful of how complete and accurate he would want the property inspection if he were the buyer or his daughter was the buyer.
- J.B., Wyoming MI, January 2016

Thank You
- C.S., Perrysburg OH, September 2014
Chuck was great to work with! He was thorough in all areas, and also very personable. The only draw-backs were that the inspection took longer than expected (although, it was my first time experiencing one, so 3 hrs might be normal) and it cost a little more than expected.
I definitely would recommend Chuck - the time and cost were worth it to me to know I had whom my realtor calls "the best!"
- J.W., Rockford MI, September 2014
Great at his job and all around good guy.

- B.M., Muskegon MI, March 2014
Charles was thorough and did a great job explaining what he was looking for as he went along. As a first time home-buyer I appreciated his patience and expertise as he walked me through his inspection process and made sure I understood the things that would be important to me in a few months or years. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Thank you for your service!
- K.H., September 2013
Definately a 10. Very knowledgable and very willing to answer all questions. First thing that was asked was any keypoints or concerns that I had about the house which was a great to be able to have answered right away. The inspection felt very thorough and the detailed report was nicely presented to me. Charles West was great to work with and now I feel I know all that I need to know about the house that I am buying.

- C.W., Hamilton MI, June 2013
Charlie was early and working at home when I arrived. He had all the doors open, all the lights turned on, & was up checking the roof. He was personable, friendly, & knowledgeable. When my client (buyer) arrived, he took client through home rooom by room, had him look in all areas, gave verbal explanations & recommendations; he was quick but very thorough. He answered all questions frankly & honestly. Printed report was clear and professional. Inspector did not pressure us to leave, took all the time required to address concerns. Inspector was positive about the house, pointed out areas & issues to be addressed, and congratulated buyer on becoming a homeowner. A very good experience.

Love having him at the house. Very nice and professional.
- B.P., Greenville MI, April 2013
It's hard to know if your picking the right company to assist you when a service needs to be performed .
I was very pleased with the service that was provided.
I was contacted the day of the service to make sure everything was still on track and to confirm the address of the inspection. He was very punctual, professional, and honest.
At the end of the inspection, I was given a booklet that contained all the information,regarding the inspection including pictures. He also answered any questions, I had and told me not to hesitate to call him if I had any other questions later. Which really made me feel extremely confident that I was indeed a true customer. It also, meant that just because the inspection had been performed his services were not over.
- D.O., GrandVILLE MI, March 2013
Great to work with, detailed, and personable. Would use him again.
- P.Z., Grand Rapids MI, November 2012

Going over our new house with Chuck was a pleasure; we're confident it's a good, solid house overall, and he gave several useful suggestions for minor fixes to avoid potential problems from cropping up in the future. I'd give him an 11 out of 10, except it doesn't go quite that high.
- A.M., Holland MI, September 2012
Extremely professional and thorough!
- S.S., Huntington Beach CA, July 2012
Absolute pleasure to work with and a heck of a guy...with incredible knowledge of what he is doing. I would strongly recommend Chuck to anyone and for anything I do in the future will be thru him. Thanks Chuck!
- R.B., Wyoming MI, May 2012
Charlie was friendly, professional, precise and extremely informative. The inspection lasted approximately three hours and we felt he provided us a thorough inspection on the home we wish to purchase. He made several useful recommendations on current and future maintenance on this property. He stated he loved the house and that it was built like most homes in the 50's - above code and meant to last.
I would definitely recommend HISM, Inc. to my friends, family, realtor and mortgage professionals.
Sincerely,
Daniel & Christine Trasky
- D.T., Lowell MI, April 2012
Charles was great. He and his partner were very personable, completely professional and incredibly thorough. The end result was a very detailed description of every room. Colored pictures were included with each description, along with recommendations or necessary fixes. We were completely impressed! Our only suggestion would be to let clients know how long the process actually takes-we were a bit surprised at the 2 1/2 hour time commitment. To be fair, we may have been told this and forgotten. The time spent with these two men is well worth the investment.
- J.M., Grand Rapids MI, April 2012
Chuck was great to work with, very knowledgeable, and realistic in his assesments and recommendations.
- T.V., Grand Rapids MI, March 2012
Great to see you again, Chuck. Always appreciate your thoroughness, and the high quality of your work and report.
- R.M., November 2011
Very professional and had a great deal of knowledge. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for taking the time to inspect this home. I am very happy with the report and the thouroghness you put into the inspection. I will definitely recommend you and Dan for future home possibilities for myself and anyone I know.
- J.S., Cadillac MI, March 2011
Charles Wiersum was a great inspector. He was very friendly and gave us great information on what they were doing to the home to inspect it. He also gave us knowledge on the standards on things that would allow them to be legal in the home with some of the things that needed to be replaced.
- A.M., Gowen MI, February 2011
Thanks for your thorough work and answering all our questions! We have a lot to learn in this whole home buying process! Your expertise is much appreciated!
- M.M., Grand Rapids MI, January 2011
We loved working with you and will most definitely recommend you to others!!!!!!!!
- M.R., Oak Park IL, January 2011
Chuck is the most thorough home inspector I have ever met. He came highly recommended by a family that used to him to approve a new home after they lost their home and all possessions to one of the worst black mold cases in U.S. history. They trusted Chuck with the lives of their children and I sooned learned I could too. His inspections last at least 2 hours and he walks you through every step and procedure. The amazing thing about Chuck is that he is so personable. He treats you like he has known you his whole life and has an interesting story for just about everything. While professional, Chuck knows how to make you feel valued and understands the importance of getting the job done right. He is brutally honest about any flaw in the house no matter how small and knows all of the regulations and relays to the potential buyer what will need to be done in the future to maintain the home and provide adequate safety to you and your family.
- J.G., GrandVILLE MI, December 2010
I am very impressed with Mr. Wiersum's services. He has done multiple home inspections for me. I really appreciate his attention to detail and the thoroughness he provides with every home. He shows me things that I missed when I initially look at the homes and also provides several suggestions regarding things I can do to avoid problems later. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.
- G.N., Grand Rapids MI, November 2010
Chuck,
You always do a great job. The truth hurts but somebody has got to do it and I do appreciate it. It is so much better to hear it now and solve the problem rather than hearing it later along side a law suit.
You are the best.
- G.B., Holland MI, September 2010
We appreciated his thorough inspection and helpful advice.
His verbal and written commments about animal odor were, however, inappropriate and slightly offensive (he was standing 3 feet from the litter when he noticed any odors). Furthermore, as soon as this litter was removed the odor was gone and needed no professional treatment as he suggested in this report.
Overall, we were happy with the inspection.

I recommend Chuck Wiersum for home inspections because he finds things others might miss. This reduces my concern that the buyers will find them later. The buyers appreciate his vast knowledge and his ability to communicate with them.
- C.K., July 2010
Chuck is the most the most knowledgable, detailed and mostg professional inspector I have known in my 30 plus years in the real estate business.
- D.S., Holland MI, May 2010
