I used Unique Home Inspections and specifically worked with Brandon for a home I'm currently…read morepurchasing, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. 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. That alone made the inspection worth every penny. We did the full home inspection, main sewer line camera inspection, and mold inspection. 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. If you want someone honest, detailed, and looking out for your best interests, he's a great choice!

My partner and I were looking through Yelp to find the perfect home inspector for our future first…read morehome. I was nervous since we were on a tight timeline, but Brandon from Unique Home Inspections responded to my Yelp project inquiry quickly and we were able to schedule that week. Communications with Brandon were easy, quick, and professional. He impressed my partner and I but also my real estate agent noted that Brandon was the most detailed and knowledgeable inspector she had come across, and upon his completion collected some business cards from him for future homebuyers. Brandon's prices are competitive, and the price is worth it for the peace of mind notable with the amount of detail and photos put into the final home inspection report. We also were notified of observations of mold in various areas, Brandon offered us a service to swab and mold test which gets sent out to a lab. Both reports were returned to us in less than a week. I do recommend this business if you're looking for an inspector.

Home Inspection Experts

I received about 4 answers…read morewithin a day and this Home Inspection Experts is the one that got my attention and trust right off the bat. The first message is very welcoming and they already tell you what packages they have with the prices and even extra services like termites and general pool inspection. No need for back and forth messaging asking for prices or your number for them to call. I checked their reviews and that's it, I decided I want their services. I messaged back and her reply is almost immediate at a very strange time. I think I messaged her late at night. I just copied and pasted their message to my agent and there, appointment is set. We chose the platinum so the sewer inspection will be included and additional pool and termites. During the inspections, the 2 inspectors came on time. Home inspections took about 2 and a half hours which is really good coz it means they check every detail. They delivered the findings verbally and the written report was sent to my agent and me the next day. I don't even know how to share to you the result because there's a lot. Just trust Home Inspection experts. They got you covered. I recommend this company 100%.

Really happy with our experience, definitely recommended.

I called and spoke with Jason, his supervisor. Jason said he would try to make it right. After several follow up emails, I'm still waiting for a reply. I will never recommend Elite Group to any client who needs a home inspection in the future. No communication is just not acceptable to me or to my clients.

I'm probably missing some. He is super thorough and communicative in the whole process. Even after I paid Jeff, I continued to ask more questions about the house. Jeff immediately responded because he cared about our relationship, not just making a quick buck and ghosting. I really appreciate his attention to our matters despite his busy schedule of inspections throughout SoCal. His pricing is reasonable and worth it for the comprehensiveness. For these large transactions, do yourself a favor and give Jeff a call.

Once again, he exceeded my expectations! Brian was punctual, incredibly thorough, and provided a detailed inspection report that gave me confidence in my purchase. He takes the time to explain his findings and is very knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a reliable home inspector, I highly recommend Brian. He's the best home inspector I've worked with (let me tell you I've worked with many home inspectors in the past), and I'll definitely continue using him for any future home purchases.

We hired Brian for a home inspection and found the experience extremely disappointing. The…read moreinspection was completed in under one hour, which felt brief for the scope of a full home inspection. The appointment time was changed from the originally scheduled time, and we were not offered much flexibility to accommodate our schedule. When we asked about California regulations for thermostat placement, we were advised to use "ChatGPT" for the information and were not given a specific code reference or handbook. When we requested official sources, we were told that it was "not required," which left us unclear on the actual standard. After the inspection, we personally identified additional issues that were not noted in the report, which further reduced our confidence in the thoroughness of the service. Based on our experience, we do not feel this service provided good value for the price and would not choose to use this inspector again.

Huggs Quality Inspections

(128 reviews)

I would strongly caution anyone considering this home inspection company…read more During a home purchase, the inspector failed to identify significant foundation issues that should have been discovered during the inspection process. As a result, the buyer was forced to obtain a second inspection, which uncovered approximately $20,000 in foundation damage and repairs. Due to the inspector's negligence, Huggs Inspection Company agreed to a settlement. However, after making only a few payments, the company stopped honoring the agreement. Mr. Huggs then stated, "Good luck collecting." Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. A home inspector's job is to identify major issues that could impact a buyer's decision, and in this case a costly foundation problem was missed.

He is still ducking the collection people. This incident was almost 4 years ago. Do not use this business. This business owner is not honest or ethical.

This is the second time I've used JLM and I'd still recommend them. I'll list the pros and cons of…read moremy experience. Positives: Friendly customer service. Good communication and quick scheduling. I was able to have a technician come out the same day I called to schedule. The technician was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions while he was concentrating on the testing, set up etc. He was careful with his words meaning he didn't cause any unnecessary stress or anxiety. He wasn't pushy and was conscious of the cost while also recommending what samples are needed or suggested. He was clean and careful. Cons: Expensive compared to other mold testing companies. The invoice can quickly add up. I originally planned for about $800 ($500 base fee plus $75 for 4 samples). I added on asbestos test and that brought my bill to over $1300. In some ways I see this as a positive though because you get what you pay for (I hope and can't compare to any other company). My whole house wasn't moisture mapped as I was told it would be. The tech said they only focus on the reported areas of concern. Not a big deal but would've been nice to know. I kept getting rescheduled by 15 minutes. The tech was running late then running early so that was a little confusing. I jokingly asked them if I get compensation for the changed appt time since I signed the contract already (they charge $150 for any changes). They said no. The report is a bit confusing as it was the first time. The most annoying is that in the asbestos report they suggested further testing. Likely costing another $1000 or more. I thought I was already paying for the best testing. This feels a bit like a trick in some ways. Overall I'd go to JLM again. I suggest to do some research beforehand though to know exactly what you need done (AND WHY meaning are you renovating or just wanting to know for health reasons etc) so you don't get unneeded tests or costs.

He was very transparent with his pricing and there were no hidden fees which was nice. He did not pressure for more sample than what was needed. He even offered sound advice on which type of test is preferred for certain areas (swab vs air). He identified visible mold in multiple areas of my apartment and backed it up with lab-certified air and surface samples. The interpretation report clearly explained the findings -- including the detection of Stachybotrys (toxic mold) in the master bathroom -- and outlined exactly what remediation steps were needed. Highly recommend if you want honest, science-backed results and not just a guessing game. We will be using Michael's services again if needed.

His honesty and attention to detail made a difficult situation much more manageable. I also obtained estimates from other companies, and Hansel's pricing was very fair and reasonable for the amount of work performed and the level of service provided. He also referred us to excellent companies and professionals to help with the reconstruction work afterward, including rebuilding cabinets and repairing the opened walls after remediation was completed. The work was completed thoroughly, and the property successfully passed clearance testing. I truly appreciate all of Hansel's hard work, professionalism, guidance, and care throughout this entire process. Highly recommend.
