Just hopped off the phone with Gary. It was so informative and refreshing chatting with him because…read moreI can tell from just our phone call that he really cares about the homeowner's best interest. From our convo I could feel that he wants to protect the homeowner and give them the most information about their potential new home so they can make good judgements on such a big investment. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to use them for our situation but if your home does not have a limit on how long the home can be inspected, I would highly recommend going with Gary. Gary was also super kind to extend the offer to answer any additional questions I might have. That's saying a lot because time is money and to offer it out of kindness shows that he's a man of good character. Really wish I knew about him years ago.

Gary rocks!!! Out of the inspectors I've worked with, Gary is the best with a wide margin. When you…read morehire Gary as your inspector you aren't just paying for the inspections, you are ensuring the builders know they will be heavily scrutinized. He's is honest and caring. His report is accurate and detailed, and accompanied with photos and video clips. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gary to anyone, who's looking for honest and quality home inspection!

I found James of Sacramento Home Inspections on Yelp; he turned out to be everything the reviews…read moresaid. We had him do an inspection on a brand new Lennar home. The Lennar agent seemed insulted that we wanted an inspection, but after reading about the problem of finding competent local workers, we thought it would be worthwhile. BTW our RE agent says they always act insulted. James' drone found some cracked tiles on the roof, which Lennar replaced. The most important thing was perhaps James' documentation of all the safety features of the home--like where the shut-offs were for the electrical and solar system and AC. He also recommended something I had never heard of, a FloodStop device that automatically shuts off the water to, say, a washing machine if a leak is detected. Our RE agent said if she had had one, it would have saved her being out of her home for 10 months while the water damage from HER leak was being fixed. We are going to put them in our residence and all our (4) rental homes. That recommendation alone paid for James' inspection. The report itself was very well organized; it will serve as a written guide for future residents of the house. The Lennar superintendent had given us a guided tour of all the features--sprinklers! Tesla battery! and more. But as with a doctor's visit, 80% is quickly forgotten. James' report, however, will be in a drawer in the kitchen as a guide in case of future problems. We have a lot of peace of mind that was easily worth the cost of the inspection--even for a brand-new home.

Thanks Dan! - Jason and Katie For anyone considering a new home inspection - This was our second new home purchase. In our first purchase, we had broken roof tiles, a gas leak and a plumbing issue.

Take your business elsewhere. These people are very unprofessional. They were to come by at a…read morespecific time and date and never showed. The realtor was there to let them in and she waited 1/2 hour. Wasted her time and ours because we had to vacate our house. They showed on a different date and said the inspection would take 3 hours. It was 3 1/2 hours. They found things wrong with a brand new house only 6 months after being built like cracked roof tiles. What probably happened is they walked on the roof and cracked the tiles themselves. Then they had such tiny infractions that were ridiculous like two screw heads in the garage that weren't covered all the way with joint compound! They said fire could spread faster through those'd exposed screw heads. These people try to justify the high price they charge ($500 for 3 hours) by trying to find the smallest of problems and making it sound like your house was built by amateurs. I would never use this company company again.

DO NOT CONTRACT THESE GUYS FOR REPAIRS AFTER HOME INSPECTION…read more This company did our home inspection when we bought our house. The inspection was comprehensive and we were pleased. However, they recommended repairs for some dry rot issues found during inspection. They contacted us for the repairs and we agreed to have them do repairs. We paid them up front, which I later realized you should never do. They sub contracted a company to do repairs. The sub did bare minimum, and shoddy work. When replacing some siding, instead of using house wrap or appropriate water/moisture barrier, they used painters paper (brown paper used to tape off floors when painting). Didn't bother contacting Hawkeye cause they already had my money. If you're going to use them for inspections, fine. But do not pay them for repairs.

I hired Golden State Inspections to conduct a final walkthrough inspection on a new build (New Home…read moreCompany) in Elk Grove. The good: friendly staff who tries to work with you and the builder. The report was provided less than 24 hours after the inspection. The mid: when I called to ask about their availability and what they look for, I was told there would be a follow-up call addressing a question that couldn't be answered on the spot, but never received a call back. The bad: inspector (Joseph) mainly noted things that I had already identified before his walkthrough (blue taped). He did catch there there were 2 broken tiles that I was not able to see. When the builder went to fix it, they noticed 4 broken tiles. The ugly: when I moved in 4 days later, I noticed none of the hot water valves were turned on in the entire house. Made me think it wasn't tested... my theory was kinda confirmed when I installed by fridge 4 days later, turned on the fridge water line (which was hooked up to the kitchen sinks hot water valve), and had water dripping out of my ceiling within 5 minutes. I emailed Golden State Inspections to let them know that Joseph missed this and have not even received an acknowledgment to my email (I emailed them 5 days ago). I wasn't asking them to fix it or anything, but a simple acknowledgment would have been nice. Be warned. If you hire this company and get Joseph on a new construction inspection, it's may be a lazy report.

I've worked with Scott Collins on large scale commercial projects where he was IOR (inspector of record). I was buying an older (24 years) home that appeared to be in great shape, but I wanted a thorough inspection. I knew Scott ran Collins Inspection Services, so I gave him a call. Scott is VERY detailed in his inspection. In fact, when I compared his inspection report to the one the buyers of our home had, it was a night and day difference. Scott spent 3+ hours crawling every inch of the home, taking detailed notes and photos. He found several issues which I (another trained eye) didn't notice. There was an issue with the pool pump which limited his inspection. The owner of the home fixed the issue, and Scott agreed to re-inspect at no charge. If you want a TRUE PROFESSIONAL, give Scott a call!
