I am so glad that I called Halcyon. They found things that the pest didn't and things I wouldn't have looked for, more importantly, they found the root of many of the pest report items and had pictures, descriptions and the answer to what needed to be done to correct those issues; so that I had a solid understanding of the scope of work required and as a result (after a few phone calls) cost estimates.. all of this saved me over $100k at closing.. and more, gave me a plan for what needed to be done so I'd have no surprises down the road Suffice it to say, I am recommending you call them!

I wanted to share an inspection experience that I had yesterday. Our inspectors name was Tony and…read morehe was not only professional, but went above and beyond what I would expect out of a home inspection. Not only did he get us the report printed out the same day, he was genuinely confident that he left no stone unturned. He went under the home, in the attic, on the roof, and checked everything in between. He came prepared with shoe covers, a tyvec suit, ladder and orange gloves. The amount of pictures that we received made us sure that the inspection was full proof and clearly visualized/pictured any damages or things needing fixed. We truly wanted to leave him an outstanding review for the confidence that he has given us with the forever home we are choosing. It is always scary moving into a new place not knowing the true condition of everything. Thank you, Tony for the full amount of peace of mind. Also, another big thanks for having us pay close attention to our daughter while the ladder was out. Great work, WOULD DEFINITELY REFER TONY TO ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Tony was outside checking out the perimeter of the property before we even got there! Once we arrived, he introduced himself and he got to work. Tony was very thorough with his findings and took his time, which we appreciated so much. Random check-ins throughout the inspection made us feel like we were a part of it and not just waiting for the report at the end. My 6 year old daughter loved following him around and he was very patient with and unbothered by her, while still doing what he needed to do. He had all the equipment he needed and checked things I didn't even think needed to be checked. He went into the attic, on top of the roof, looked in the chimney, checked under sinks, garage, and so much more. After his inspection, he sat us down and gave us the raw truth about what he found then later SAME DAY, we got the written and very detailed report. Will recommend TONY 5/5! Friendly, professional and really goes above and beyond. Thank you!

He caught issues that even someone who's worked in construction for a long time didn't notice.

This was all above and beyond what we've experienced in the past with other inspectors. As buyers, we were really impressed by Seth and thankful that we picked the right person for our home inspection!

UPDATE: After seeing this review Roy followed up with me. The exclusion I mentioned is part of the…read more2022 energy code, and Roy did my certificate just before this went into effect under the 2019 code. In other words, the exclusion didn't apply at the time and he chose not to mention it as some cities would require me to resubmit everything under all 2022 code, potentially causing other problems. I can appreciate that. That said, when contacting a consultant that I'm working with about a major, very stressful problem I expect to receive support. I'd much rather be presented with possible solutions to explore that may not pan out. Roy tells me that this has given him something to think about for future clients. I now feel comfortable upgrading my rating a bit. _____ ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'd really like to give two stars but I can't think of a single reason to justify it. I'm building an ADU and the architect works with Delta T. The certificate came back saying I need a 1.46 kW solar system. This meant I was going to lose NEM 2 for my 2-year-old system and everything would get bumped to NEM 3 costing me many thousands of dollars. When I emailed to ask for guidance, no response. Second email got a very short response that showed no interest in helping me figure out the problem. I talked to a solar company for a bid, who tells me the ADU needs 1/3-1-2 of Delta T's recommended 1.46 MAX. I got frustrated and went to the energy code myself which I've never looked at before. Within 20 minutes I found a very clear exclusion clause that plainly states that if the otherwise required system is less than 1.8 kW then no system is required. City instantly agreed that this applied and that no system is required. I can understand being busy and not responding right away. Likewise, I get that maybe the solar company was wrong about how much is required. Not helping a client when a related issue arises, however, and not knowing your own trade as a consultant, are inexcusable. This exclusion is going to apply to many ADUs, and is essential knowledge for an energy consultant who works with them.

We had a pretty large job that included cleaning, rodent-proofing, sanitizing, and re-insulating our attic, as well as cleaning, rodent-proofing, sanitizing, re-running our ducting, and laying plastic in our crawlspace. It was a big project that took about a week, and they showed up on time every single day, checked in regularly, and worked hard throughout. Along the way, we discovered a pipe leak, which they fixed without issue. We also needed to reroute our dryer vent, and they handled that as well. Even with these unexpected additions, Eduardo stuck to his original quote, which we really appreciated. The quality of the work is excellent, and we are very happy with the results. On top of that, Eduardo is coming back in two weeks to make sure the rodent-proofing is fully effective. That level of follow-up and accountability really shows he stands behind his work. Overall, Eduardo went above and beyond. Fair pricing, high-quality work, a professional team, and great communication. We would absolutely recommend him.

I would say, they did an excellent job - Starting with Jeremy, who accommodated my schedule for preliminary inspect and gave me a on the spot quote. Elder and the guys did an excellent job in covering up the entire house and finished the job in 2 days. My house had no insulation in the walls- to very less in the attic. After the insulation my Heat as well as Cold is retained inside the house. Heat turns on once in a 24 Hr cycle vs multiple times in an hour previously. If you are thinking of in wall insulation, it's totally worth it. The quote was the most competitive and they were very flexible. I am still closing out the multiple holes in the wall, will take time as i prefer to do it myself- I had plans to paint anyway .

I was initially impressed with what seemed like a thorough and well-considered estimate. It felt…read morelike the team really evaluated my attic and cooling needs. The addition of two QuietCool fans also seemed like a major plus, as I was already familiar with the product and expected it would significantly help with cooling. When it came to the insulation work, I was very pleased. The crew did an excellent job removing the old insulation and installing the new. They worked efficiently, protected my floors well, and ensured that no insulation debris entered the living areas. That part of the job was handled professionally. However, I was less impressed with the radiant barrier installation. This may partly be due to a misunderstanding on my end, as I expected a different type of material, but the end result did not meet my expectations. The biggest issue, unfortunately, was the installation of the fans. At best, it was very poorly executed. The fans are 16" units with 12" duct openings, yet they were installed directly against the gables, which severely restricts airflow. Proper installation should have included a box or shroud to help direct airflow effectively through the fans. Because of this poor airflow, the fans do not cool the attic--in fact, they appear to make things worse. I can actually watch the temperature on the thermostat increase when the fans are turned on. I reached out to my representative multiple times, but the response was disappointing. I was told they could not take the fans back, and when I asked why the attic temperature increases when they are running, I was told there was no explanation and nothing further could be done. As temperatures continue to rise, I'm left frustrated that I spent $1,200 on two fans that perform the opposite of what was promised, with no meaningful support or resolution offered. UPDATE: After posting my initial review, I was contacted by both the project manager and the owner. I reiterated the reasons for my frustration, explaining that my review reflected my honest impression of what I saw as a lack of clear communication and effective management of the project and customer expectations. The project manager apologized for the communication breakdown and asked if I would be open to giving them an opportunity to make things right. A technician was then sent out, and he took the time to fully understand the issue, carefully examine the installation, and make several adjustments to the original work. He believes these changes will help improve airflow in the attic. Since my attic has some unique characteristics, he also provided helpful suggestions for additional ways to improve cooling and airflow--something I feel should have been addressed during the initial planning stage of the project. Whether these changes will result in significant improvement remains to be seen; I'll have a better sense once the weather warms up. I do appreciate the follow-up and the willingness of the project manager to reach out and try to make things right, and I have updated my review accordingly. That said, I want to be clear that the increase in my rating is largely due to the technician and the time he invested in evaluating the full situation, as well as both implementing and proposing thoughtful solutions.
