We found a house in Los Angeles that we were interested in and reached out to Brian to see if he services the area. Brian responded within minutes! He provided a quote and his availability in the first conversation. He answered all our questions including additional requests to inspect a pool and to test for mold. We clearly understood all his services and pricing before committing. Brian is a straight shooter and gets to the point. I gave Brian our agent's information and was pleasantly surprised that he connected with the agent without my involvement. Brian was on-time to the scheduled appointment for the inspection. He got straight to business. We thought that we had to be there for the inspection because I've heard horror stories of inspectors speeding through the inspection and missing details. But not with Brian. Brian handles business! He inspected EVERYTHING, in and around the house. He categorized his findings from most concerning like the house being slanted to minor details like there being cracks on the driveways. Brian inspected everything.. from cracked paint, to pipes, to wires, leaks, nothing was missed. Brian went under the house and into the attic. Brian took his time and gave us the most detailed inspection and report! After his extensive inspection, Brian was able to explain his findings in simple terms to us. We asked for his opinions on a number of items. He is extremely knowledgeable, no bs, all facts. We got the report on the same day to review digitally. We asked for additional mold testing and was provided the mold report and results a couple days after. Brian saved us from making a million-dollar mistake. I truly believe that without Brian, we would've purchased a house that looked good on paper without knowing that the core was in disrepair. Brian brought everything about the house to light with his inspection. He gave us power in understanding the house's true condition and we ultimately made the decision to not purchase. We are so thankful to have worked with Brian and look forward to working with him again. If you are looking for the most thorough, detailed-oriented, focused, eagle-eyed, professional, prompt, knowledgeable, smart house inspector.. call Brian! Brian is also a dog person and let us bring our corgi puppies along. Literally the best inspector.

I was purchasing an older home in Long Beach and I was worried that I was making a bad decision but there just isn't that many homes for sale in the area where I want to live. These guys were fast and efficient and totally professional and the inspector showed up early, gave an amazing summary at the end of the inspection and explained every little detail including significant findings I needed to be aware of right away. I received a very detailed report loaded with pictures and recommendations that clearly laid out everything I needed to know from basic maintenance to urgent safety issues. I was able to move forward with my home purchase with a much better understanding of exactly what I needed to budget for as well as which items were more urgent that could be negotiated with the sellers for repair. If you want a solid inspection that will put your mind at ease hire this company. Not to mention the fact that the entire staff is very professional, kind and organized. I would use them again and again on a future purchase! Thank you Home Inspection Experts you guys deserve 10 stars!!!

I made the mistake of trusting mine when she recommended them for my condo inspection... lesson learned. The water heater didn't even work, yet somehow the inspector missed it--so I spent my first three weeks bonding with cold showers. The warranty company wouldn't cover it since the issue existed before I moved in. On top of that, I had to replace both toilets right away. Somehow they missed that too. Of course, when I contacted them, they denied any responsibility and took zero accountability for their mistakes. All in all, I would definitely not recommend them, especially if they're being suggested by your real estate agent.

We were purchasing a new property and needed an inspection of the home and sewer. After…read moreresearching several inspection firms, we ultimately decided to go with Elias at CR Home Inspections due to the reviews describing him as one of the most thorough professionals in the business. And indeed he was! Elias met us on an expedited schedule and he worked promptly with a deep attention to detail. He identified every little issue and gave us an extreme amount of comfort. He even fended off an annoying seller agent that ambushed him towards the end of his inspection and tried to get information on Elias' findings before he even discussed with the client (me). In summary, Elias is the best in the business and is a man of strong integrity. I highly recommend him and definitely would work with him again.

Sadly, he scheduled the wrong day and my agent went to the property and basically wasted the trip there since we had to reschedule to the next day. For me this wasn't a big deal since I didn't go out myself, but I felt bad that my agent wasted his time. Elias was very apologetic and even bought my agent a gift card as an apology. He totally owned up to his mistake and for me that speaks volumes about a person. The actual inspection was pretty good as far as I can tell, I'm not an expert on these kinds of things but the report was very detailed and had a lot of photos. He flew a drone up to the roof to take a look and even pointed out minor details like staining on the carpet that I honestly didn't catch when I saw the property myself. Seems like he used infrared to check for water leaks when inspecting the plumbing in the bathrooms and kitchen. In terms of pricing, he was one of the more expensive options but given the level of customer service he provided and the quality of the report I would say it's worth it. Overall, the experience with Elias was very positive and if I ever need inspection services again, he'll be the first I call.

He was extremely thorough and truly left no stone unturned. He found issues that other inspectors could have easily overlooked, and those findings ended up helping me secure a sizable credit from the seller during negotiations.

Everything was handled professionally, and all reports, photos, and follow-up information were returned quickly and in a very timely manner, which was huge since real estate timelines move fast. He also explained everything clearly and made the process feel a lot less stressful. He was referred to me by someone I trust, and now I understand why. I'll definitely be recommending Brandon and Unique Home Inspections to friends, family, and anyone buying a home.

Kevin also let me know that he would be sending detailed documents with all the photos he took during the inspection, which was very reassuring and helpful. Overall, I was very impressed with his professionalism and thoroughness. I highly recommend Elite Group and especially Kevin Salazar if you're looking for a reliable home inspection.

We brought Mike in for a post-purchase inspection after discovering a number of issues our original inspector missed and wanted to be sure nothing else had been overlooked. Mike devoted his entire day to inspecting the property and then spent two hours with us going through his report, patiently answering every question, and offering thoughtful suggestions. I have to say, it is extremely rare to find someone with this level of work ethic and dedication to their craft. You can tell Mike truly loves what he does. If you're looking for peace of mind and want to know the exact condition of your home, you will not be disappointed. Mike truly sets the bar for what one should expect in a home inspection. A heartfelt thanks, Mike.

He doesn't shy away from doing the hard stuff, like going on rooftops or crawling under very tight crawlspaces. He gave us actionable items that we will be using to make sure that if he's still around when we sell our home and a seller hires him, he won't have much to say His detailed report was so good that when I hired specialist inspectors (like electrical and structural) due to issues he noted, they either trusted his report at face value and just gave me a quote for the repair or incorporated his findings and pictures into their reports! Plus, he brings snacks and drinks for you to munch on! Don't hesitate to hire him, he's worth every single penny!!

Having someone with that level of expertise gave me peace of mind that I was making the right decision. I absolutely trust his work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector. Even my agent said that she will recommend him in the future. Doug truly delivers.

In early August 2025, I went into escrow on a home and needed an independent home inspection…read morecompany. After researching Yelp and calling several companies, I spoke with Doug at OC Premier Home Inspections. During our phone conversation, Doug emphasized his experience and explained why his company stood out. He also mentioned that his pricing was slightly higher than average, but said his work "speaks for itself" and that you "get what you pay for." I hired Doug to inspect the property. He spent several hours at the home and afterward told me there were a few issues, but overall the home was in decent condition and there were no major concerns. On August 14, 2025, I received the inspection report. I submitted several repair requests to the seller based on the report, and those items were addressed before closing escrow. However, on October 30, 2025, I came home to a major water leak inside the house. A licensed plumber discovered a large pipe in the attic that was heavily corroded inside and out. The pipe was fully visible and even had a newer clamp installed over what appeared to be an existing slow leak. According to the plumber, this should have been easily noticeable during a proper inspection. Doug never mentioned the clamp, the corrosion, or the condition of the exposed attic plumbing in his report. I ultimately had to repipe the entire house at a cost of nearly $10,000. Had this issue been identified during inspection, I could have either negotiated repairs with the seller or reconsidered purchasing the home altogether. When I contacted Doug about the issue, he dismissed my concerns and stated that if the pipe had been actively leaking during the inspection, he would have noticed it. He essentially took no responsibility because it "wasn't leaking at the time." There were additional issues that were also missed: * During the water emergency, I discovered the main water shut-off valve did not work. Doug told me he "doesn't check valves." * My oven was leaking gas whenever the stove burners were used. The gas company eventually tagged the appliance as unsafe, and I had to replace it. This issue was never identified in the inspection. * Doug noted that one upstairs AC vent wasn't getting airflow. I requested repairs from the seller, but later, during attic work after closing, another technician discovered that multiple attic vents were disconnected entirely. If I had been running the AC, much of the cooled air would have been blowing directly into the attic instead of the home -- another issue that should have been obvious during inspection. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the inspection, the lack of thoroughness, and the dismissive response afterward. These oversights cost me thousands of dollars and months of stress and repairs. I would not recommend OC Premier Home Inspections. If you are choosing a home inspector, do extensive research and ask detailed questions about exactly what they inspect and verify before trusting one of the biggest purchases of your life.
