From srart to finish, the inspection was extremely thorough, professional, and easy to understand. The inspection, Jerry, took time to explain every detail, answered all of my questions and provided a clear, well-organized report. Thanks to his deligience, all identified issues were properly addressed by the seller, which gave me complete peace of mind moving forward. If you are purchasing a home in SCV area, you absolutely must use Top Dog Certified Home Inspections. Highly recommended!!! I definitely will order another inspection of my house a few month later, within the home warranty period of 1 year.

Six years later, after having tenants, we're moving back in and wanted peace of mind. Jerry was incredibly thorough, professional, and detailed. His report was clear and concise, with photos and priority levels so we knew exactly what to focus on. He was also available to discuss any of the findings more thoroughly, but honestly the report was perfect. I wish we had used him back in 2019... I probably could've saved a lot of money! I'll definitely be calling him again for any future inspections.

I hired Ron to do an inspection as I was selling my parents' house and was not completely familiar…read morewith the current condition. I like to use local, small businesses whenever possible, and his reviews were excellent. My mistake was not noticing how old they were. He advised it would take 4 to 4 1/2 hours to complete. He was there 5 hours when my realtor had to ask him to leave for the open house that was being held that day. He came back afterward to finish the roof inspection. He failed to complete an inspection for the kitchen due to "time constraints". However, he had time to note that there was a pet door that was a "safety" concern. He also stated that some items were issues that he was clearly wrong about ("minimal" strapping on a water heater that had 2 straps from a newly purchased kit and a third steel strap, replacement windows that he stated were the "builder type from the original construction"). While I appreciate thoroughness, spending time nitpicking every minor detail in a 61 year old house but not completing the full inspection I paid for is not acceptable. He did not get my name right on the report, even though I wrote it for him on the contract I signed. He did not provide the hard copy report that was promised, nor did he email it to me - I had to get it from my realtor. I'm giving him a 3 for thoroughness. If you have unlimited time to wait for this guy to complete the inspection, go for it. He may have been a great inspector in his prime, but personally I think he needs to hang it up and retire already.
