Very efficient. On time, quick report. The inspector was nice, thorough and answered all of my questions

Yea they suck. Our realtor chose them and said they are thorough and fine comb everything tooth and nail. NOT TRUE. My husband is pretty handy and my father in law is pretty knowledgeable so we always have him check things out too and give us his opinion based on his knowledge and experience. Whenever my father in law would bring up an issue, the inspector would either say they don't cover that area and we could tell the inspector was annoyed. It wasn't that my father in law was double checking his work or telling him how to do his job. He just wanted to make sure that anything major wasn't missed so we didn't get into something we couldn't afford to fix. Sometimes things do get missed we are human. More sets of eyes the better. The house we were selling, our buyers cancelled so then the seller of this house cancelled on us. We ended up finding another house and although we were not happy with the home inspection. Our realtor said it was because of the inspector and he normally doesn't work with that inspector, he normally works with Doug. So we gave them another shot. Now we've paid them almost $1000 for two home inspections. Yes my realtor was right that Doug is a nice guy. He was atleast pleasant and easy to work with. My realtor told me to let the home inspector do his job and for us to not inspect the home. We tried not to but of course my husband and in laws noticed things. There were cracks on the exterior and interior walls, a gas smell in the backyard and water damage that raised issues of concern that the inspector missed. But atleast when we brought it up, he looked further into it instead of blowing us off and he notated it in the report. Thank goodness my husband and in laws brought those up because they were missed and now atleast it was in the report. My husband noticed that there looked like water damage in the kitchen behind the stove. He brought it up to the home inspector who then went upstairs to investigate it further and then noticed that the bottom tile of the shower was different from the top of the shower. He said it looks like they had a leak but had it fixed and nothing to worry about. Ok just because things looked fixed it doesn't mean it was fixed properly. We found out that the owner of the home who is also the realtor selling their own property is in commercial real estate. So she had a handyman they use to repair things or her husband who is in the medical field would try to repair it and not a licensed plumber or contractor. Many of the "repairs" were patch jobs and not properly repaired. Which I found out in California if the repair is for more than $500 it has to be done by a licensed contractor. When we ripped up the carpet that the previous owner installed. They wrote on the floor this house sucks. The neighbors told us that all the renters said the owners never fixed anything. So this house was not properly maintained or repaired. Had it been brought up by the inspector that there were concerns with the issues instead of being reassured that things looked fine that it was repaired and no longer an issue. We probably wouldn't have purchased the house and looked for a different one. We already were spending over our budget on this house and didn't have any extra money for repairs. I understand the house is old. I understand that the water heater is going to go out soon. I understand there is normal wear and tear. But when there are damages that are not properly repaired. That I do not understand. That I feel I should have a warning about. That I feel should be noted and the homeowner should have properly fixed prior to selling and if the homeowner refuses to fix it then we the buyers should be able to decided if we want to continue with the purchase or not. Which is the whole reason for a home inspection right? We were selling our house at the same time and our buyers home inspector found a few minor things that the buyer asked for us to repair which we did prior to closing. Our neighbor is selling their house and I saw their home inspector checking every little thing and apparently they were thorough because they found a ton of things wrong with the house. I kept seeing different people come to work on the house to fix it. I asked my neighbor and she said yes the buyers home inspector found a ton of things wrong and they have to fix it before they close on the sale. Well that did not happen in our case. After the sale closed and it's not on the report because the home inspector says it's nothing to worry about when in reality it is. You are now stuck and responsible for the problem. It is now your issue and you must pay to fix it. Which is the situation we are in. We talked to our realtor and his broker about it but they couldn't do anything. Basically it's too late and we got screwed. read more

The inspection scheduling process was simple and instant. The inspection itself was great. My clients and I were there and it was thorough and Lorenzo was friendly and knowledgeable. We had the report right at the end of the inspection ( only waiting on air quality test). The whole experience was smooth and instant. I will work with them again! read more

Danny is incredibly knowledgable and puts myself and my clients at ease when purchasing a home, even when pointing out items of concern. I have used Danny and his team on my personal home, and will suggest them to any family member or friend! read more

My husband and I had a great experience today getting an inspection done on the condo we hope to purchase. Our inspector was Cris...he was incredible! We got there a few minutes early and Cris was already there in front of the complex. He was very meticulous and answered questions we had as he went through the inspection. He noted the many issues he encountered that will need to be addressed before we close on the property...thankfully none of the issues were dealbreakers. At the end of the inspection, he went through the various issues and showed us pictures and explained why they were issues. My husband and I were very impressed with Cris' professionalism, thoroughness and attention to detail. We are so thankful he was the inspector assigned to us. He is definitely an asset to this company. Thank you Cris!!! Additionally, the support staff were excellent when it came to communications with us. Our experience was great all around with this company! read more

Amazing experience! Look no further and you will thank me for it. They even take their time to explain you in detail what you need to do and fix. Plus you get the report the same day. I would give these guys 100 stars if I could. Thank you! read more

I initially gave Danny and his company a 5 star review.....until there were few problems that were not detected in the review. There was no follow-up, even though I contacted them many times. Very disappointed. All that glitters is not gold!!! Lisa Milligan read more

The best home inspection company around! Have used them for years! My clients and myself have been so happy with their professionalism! Fast reports and so courteous! Hopefully all my clients will choose this company! read more

I just get a new home from builders. I found several feet long hair cracks on the garage floor. I consulted with Danny for the inspection opinion, he honestly recommended a good company to do the slab repairs instead of home inspection. It's not best choice for increase of his business. But it's best solution for home buyers-customer. Definitely We will use "Better home inspection"service in the future. We appreciate their valuable information and experience of service. Danny, have a wonderful day. Peter Chai read more

Elija did a great job - on time, professional, took the time to explain his findings and show me where suggested repairs needed to be done. I received my report within 5 minutes of the end of the inspection. A Better Home is my go to inspection company. Would recommend 100% read more

Danny and his crew saved us from making a huge financial mistake on a high-end home. The seller convinced us the home was turnkey and Danny did a thorough job to find many serious issues. The seller tried to distract and blame (maybe on this site) but the inspection crew was through and professional. We owe them many thanks!!! read more

I recently hired this company for a condo inspection. First of all, this company was super easy to schedule with, due to an online booking system. Secondly, they offer add-on services, such as mold inspection, at a discounted rate, which is a value-add. Most importantly, their technician (mine was Sam, who is responsible for San Diego region) was professional, courteous, and very thorough. Finally, the online report is convenient with lots of photos. Overall I am very satisfied with the experience. read more

I am in escrow on a duplex that needed inspection. Other than the mix up between their office and inspector on whether both units were being inspected or not, Marco did a great job to the best of my knowledge. He was professional and went over the inspection in detail. I think he even finished in time to make his MRI appointment. Was a pleasure having him inspect. read more

Marco did our inspection for our home purchase and he was great! He was quick, thorough, and explained everything very well. I'd highly recommend Marco for your home inspection! read more

Danny and Jessie were on time, well prepared, professional, thorough and communicative. I was allowed to shadow Danny as he explored the home's exterior and my wife shadowed Jessie exploring the interior. They were helpful and answered any and all questions we had and pointed out some important electrical and plumbing issues for the house. Thanks for such fast turnaround, too! read more

Rick was very personable and knowledgeable about all things house! As first time home buyers, my husband and I were a little overwhelmed with the whole process. But we listened and learned a lot from Rick! He broke down the history of certain building practices and explained which items on our inspection needed immediate attention vs. a wait. We highly recommend Forster's Inc & A Better Home Inspection to give your home-buying process the peace-of-mind you're hoping for!! read more

We are buying a home in Northern San Diego County. We took our realtor's suggestion to use A Better Home Inspection for the preliminary house inspection. Rick Stewart arrived about half an hour early ready to go to work! What a friendly, down to earth guy. We felt we were being advised by a knowledgeable friend rather than a disinterested inspector and he took his time answering all the questions we had. He was in and out and up and down checking every little nook and cranny. He brought along a computer and printer and after several hours printed out a report that included pictures. He went over all his findings with us on the spot. What a great recommendation and one that we will certainly pass along any chance we get! read more

ABHI was recommended to us, and we couldn't be more pleased with the inspection's process, details and explanations, and overall staff knowledge. Mark and Danny were extremely friendly, helpful, and detail-oriented. Within minutes of completing our inspection, we received our files via email. The process was really smooth, and we recommend this company for all of your inspection needs. read more

Marco was our inspector and he was very thorough, friendly and relatable to all issues and anything we had questions about. It's obvious he has a vast amount of experience and was knowledgeable about all aspects of the inspection. My realtor was based out of Fallbrook and recommended this company, so Marco came from Fallbrook all the way down to east El Cajon for the inspection. At the end of the inspection, he gave a detailed presentation on his iPad showing the significance categories, went over all of his findings with us and emailed us a copy of the inspection report before we left the premises, as well as to the realtor and sellers agent. Even being a first time home buyer, his great customer service skills made me feel at ease and confident that we got a great house and I don't have any worries about anything with his guidance and reassurance. I would definitely recommend this company to any first time home owner. read more

I did a lot of diligence before selecting an inspection company for this purchase. The company uses all of the current inspection tools like infrared scanners, moisture meters, gas detectors, and even a drone to complete inspection of the very tall roof. The owner Danny was meticulous and unhurried. He reviewed the full report immediately after completion, and even walked the property to educate me on important issues, as well as features of the house like water and gas shutoff valves. I would definitely recommend their services. read more

Even brought us avocados from Fallbrook! I feel good about his findings and will suggest this company to family and friends when they need a home inspection. read more
