We had a fantastic experience working with Matt Cantor of Cantor Inspections. The level of detail…read moreand depth of knowledge he provides easily justify the cost of the inspection, which pays for itself several times over when deciding who and what work to do. Matt conducted a very thorough inspection and, more importantly, helped my family understand how to prioritize the work our home needed. His report gave us the knowledge and confidence to speak with contractors and make sure we were focusing on the right repairs rather than unnecessary work. What really stood out was that Matt didn't disappear after the inspection. He remained available for follow-up questions and was incredibly generous with his time and advice as we evaluated contractor proposals. His insight helped us navigate some very expensive recommendations and focus on practical, staged solutions instead. If you want a home inspector who is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping homeowners make smart decisions, I can't recommend Matt highly enough. Working with him was invaluable for our family.

TL;DR - I had a wonderful experience with Matt and highly recommend Cantor Inspections. He is warm,…read moregracious with his time, and incredibly knowledgeable. He wears many hats--part inspector, part anthropologist, part design historian, and so much more. Matt was communicative and able to fit in an inspection of my home almost immediately. I also found his rate to be very affordable, especially given the quality of work and his attention to detail. Long Form Review - I live in Oakland and have a craftsman style house built in 1913. My wife and I bought the house in 2022 as first time homebuyers. We have been so happy in the home, but it has a range of issues and quirks, as I imagine all century-old buildings do. We have done several repairs and renovations on the home already and have many more projects planned. From the initial inspection report and after having lived in the home for 3 years, we thought we had a pretty good idea of what projects and repairs needed to come next. However, before committing any more time and money to any future projects, we felt that we needed an expert, third-party source to help us reevaluate the home, prioritize future work, and identify urgent repairs. This was the context with which I reached out to Matt at Cantor Inspections. I initially messaged Matt via Yelp, and he got back to me almost immediately. Even though he was traveling internationally at the time, he was incredibly communicative and was able to schedule me as soon as he got back from his trip. On the day of the inspection, Matt arrived on time and was more than happy to have me shadow him. The inspection took about 6 hours and I was probably able to follow Matt around for 80-90% of it, observing, taking notes, and picking his brain over a myriad of different issues. Matt is warm, kind, and patient. He answered all of my questions and provided me with quite the history lesson regarding Craftsmen style homes, as well as lessons on construction techniques, material science, engineering, and much, much more. I also found Matt to be empathetic and understanding of my unique situation, more than willing to talk through the issues that were most salient to me. In terms of the report itself and Matt's work, I found it to be very in-depth and comprehensive. In the Recommendations section, Matt does a great job of identifying an issue, describing why that issue is a problem, and outlining steps to fixing said issue. Overall, Cantor Inspections went above and beyond in helping my wife and I reevaluate our home, prioritize future work, and identify urgent repairs. Lastly, I'll add that Matt was great with our dog and cat, who also followed Matt around for most of the day.

I used Ramey's Home Inspection and had an excellent experience. They arrived as a team of three and…read morewere incredibly thorough. From the start they communicated clearly and walked us through what they were seeing during the inspection. What stood out most was their honesty. I even gave them an opportunity to upsell additional services, but they respectfully told me it wasn't necessary based on their observations. That level of integrity made me trust their work even more. We're moving to the Bay Area from Los Angeles, so having a reliable inspection in a new place was really important for our family. I'd confidently recommend Ramey's Home Inspection to anyone. Pros: * Very thorough inspection * Honest recommendations (no upselling) * Great communication * Team approach made the process efficient * Helped us feel confident about our home purchase
