I hate to do this, Ramey deserves 0 stars. At first it seemed like a good inspection, now that my…read morehusband and I are living in the property that was Inspected by this company, they did a complete SLIP SHOD shod job. 1) They claimed the Breakers/Electrical panel was labeled correctly. Well, it is NOT. I went to turn off the fuse labeled 'Dryer'. And I got shocked when attempting to reconnect the wire which was hanging out of the dryer outlet. Meaning the breaker box/ panel is NOT labeled correctly. This is very concerning seeing how someone can get seriously injured. And this company couldn't take the time to test any of the breakers. 2) The kitchen sink is messing caulk and clips. That is not on the inspection. Which means they didnt brothered to look. 3) Hot and Cold water lines under the kitchen sink were not connected to the correct inlet. Which means they didn't brother to look at all. This makes me question everything else they 'checked'. They do horrible work and its messed up that we had to pay them to do faulty work. And of course how is the customer suppose to know this when we rely on them to do the job? Due to this company's slip shod job me, my husband or anyone else who performed work on this place could have been seriously injured because this company cannot and did perform and lied on the report. What a worse of money. But this company will continue to stay in business because buyers wont know how horrible or good of a job they perform until its to late.

I had a very positive experience with these David and Golden Gate Home Inspections…read more My friend asked me to help find, book, and manage a home inspection for him. He is not buying or selling, he just wants to know what needs to be fixed in his Victorian SF home. David was on time, very curtious and knowledgeable, and a nice person to chat with. He was especially happy to be doing the work for someone who really wanted to know all the potential problems, instead of for a seller that might wish there were no potential repairs. I will reach out to them to schedule a similar inspection for my mom's home.

BBB Complaint: 25332734…read more I am rejecting this response because: there are some facts that were not accurate. September 14, 2025: Report delivered to the client and his two agents only based on the business reply. The owner admitted the report was delivered to his two "agents." I do not have "two" agents. One is the seller's agent and the other is the buyer's agent. The owner admitted that the home inspection report was provided to the seller's agent without my explicit permission. In addition, I was present when the home inspector stated that he will provide the home inspection report to the seller's agent. As the business owner, it is important to take accountability for your mistakes and provide a reasonable remedy to resolve the concerns. Nothing more and nothing less. Please consider taking this as a learning lesson and reiterate to your employees to avoid and prevent questionable conduct in future home inspections. September 23, 2026: Please see attached. The letter was sent to the home owner from the HOA warning the "owner" that HOA identified the window bars listed in the picture attached that it was a fire hazard and "must" be removed by October 15, 2026. HOA is not taking responsibility to remove the window bars and the "associated cost" may be charged back to the owner. The owner is implying that they "read" and "understood" the bylaws of my HOA instead of taking accountability for their mistake to address the oversight of their home inspection. Nowhere in the home inspection report, it was noted that the window bars are a fire hazard that will be a problem that will need to be removed prior to the sale of the home. In addition, I attached pictures of two doors that cannot open or close properly that was not noted in the home inspection report. The closet door in the hallway sticks out and cannot open and close properly like a normal functioning door. Also, the bathroom door is a "death trap" that was not properly addressed and the owner sent a worker to "temporarily" alleviate the owner's concern since the worker did not bring the proper tools to fix it. The owner stated to me that during home inspections that they do not typically check doors. My expectations from a home inspection was that the company will find issues and problems that needs to be addressed prior to the buyer signing off all the paperwork. Some of the most basic problems and issues were overlooked and as the first time home buyer, I felt scammed and cheated by the home inspection company with 5 stars. It failed to meet my basic expectations of what a home inspection should find.

Dylan was recommended to us by our realtor, and we were so happy to work with him. We had seen a…read morehome that we loved and while it seemed to be good shape, it was also 100 years old. We'd seen so many homes that looked great but hid massive structural issues. So in order to make the cleanest offer possible (no inspection contingencies) and protect ourselves from nasty surprises and risk, we asked Dylan to perform a pre-offer inspection before we put down our offer. With only a day's notice, he showed up at 9 am and did a thorough inspection of the home, including the roof, attic, foundation, wiring, plumbing, structure, and heating. His report was verbal and thorough, and gave us the confidence we needed to put down a strong offer free of contingencies that very same afternoon. And we got the house! I've already recommended him to friends struggling to be competitive in the hot Bay Area housing market. Without Dylan's help to make a clean and high offer--knowing that the home was in great shape--we wouldn't be homeowners today.

Dylan is an exceptionally thorough and professional inspector with a keen eye. It's no wonder some…read moreof the most high profile clients in the Bay Area choose him and that he was referred to me. I had two inspectors come look at the same house, and the other inspection was done by a big brand name company. I wanted to get two inspections to make sure I didn't miss anything for such a major purchase. Dylan caught some significant issues that the other inspectors missed and elucidated all the issues with great detail. These issues are now being investigated by engineers. Dylan not only articulated everything carefully but he is also a very kind person; it's easy to see that he loves to educate his clients and genuinely loves his job. I highly recommend Dylan for any property inspection in the Bay Area.

Awesome inspector! Easy 5 out of 5! Jeff was great to work with. He was very responsive, upfront…read moreand honest. I messaged him through yelp and he quoted a very reasonable and fair price. He didn't b.s, didn't try to scam me. I had other people pulling prices out of their ass - quoting at $600-800 for a small condo inspection. Jeff is very experienced and took his time to guide us through the inspection process. He communicated all his findings clearly and gave us great tips along the way. He was friendly and personable. Not at all condescending like another reviewer alleged. I can tell he's very passionate about his job and a subject matter expert in his line of work. He was helpful, answered all of our questions, and gave honest feedback. I even got my report back less than 24 hours! It was a pleasure working with Jeff. I highly recommend Jeff for home inspection services.

I wanted to get a neutral assessment, so I spoke to a few inspectors. However, my phone conversation with Jeff was so amazingly helpful, I knew I wanted to meet with him. When he came over, he had the right equipment to quickly resolve my moisture concerns. After that, he spent the rest of the time going over every little concern I've ever had about my home since we bought it 10 years ago. He shoots straight (to the point of being funny) and is very practical in his advice. It was awesome to have an expert give candid assessments on different issues. He was also very generous with his time, and he seemed to just enjoy helping me understand how to best proceed as a homeowner. I think every home owner should have someone like Jeff come out check out your home, especially after a few years of living in it, and you've gotten to know the issues of a home. It was super. Thank you!
