They are very quick report is completed within a day which is very important and helpful when your clients are making the biggest decision of their lives when purchasing a home. read more

Buyer Beware: We paid to have a home inspector come and inspect our property. On every single thing the guy inspected, he writes, "contact so and so for further investigation". Ok, so we paid you $600 to come out here to inspect our property for what??? To call someone else who actually knows what they are doing. We bought our house 4 months ago and our roof is leaking and we had another inspector from another company come out to tell us this has been an ongoing issue. Due to your lack of knowledge and covering your ass by writing "please refer to someone else for further inspection", we are out thousands of dollars. Thanks for your crappy service and I hope you will reconsider finding another company when needing and inspection because this company will cost you more in the end. read more

ECS Home Inspections - The home we bought 4 mos ago - Home Inspectors Near Me - Ontario, California

I used ECS home inspections for my second home purchase. My first purchase was in Phoenix and I bought my second home in Chino Hills. Thanks to ECS I have my perfect summer home. The inspector was on time and addressed all of my questions and concerns. My report included photos of all of the areas of concerns the inspector found during his thorough inspection. I felt confident after receiving my report thanks to the amazing people at ECS home inspections. I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends and family purchasing new homes. I will also use them again for all of my future property purchases. read more

ECS Home Inspections - Home Inspectors Near Me - Ontario, California

Thank you ECS & Mike! It was a great pleasure meeting and working with Mike last week, I appreciate his thorough approach and taking the time to explain his findings and the process with my buyer. I look forward to working together in the future, I will definitely keep your information and refer your work! read more

I see five reviews for this company, all of which gave it five stars. As of right now, none of those reviewers have ever reviewed any other company. I called and set up an appointment anyway, because they had lots of certification logos on their website, and they were offering a Yelp promotion of $450 for $300. They told me that it couldn't be used for my inspection because "This promotion is for a mold inspection..." I cancelled my appointment as a result, and they immediately offered to honor the $300 promotion if I would keep my appointment. I don't want to have a home inspector into my house after haggling, so I declined. It's entirely possible that they have the best inspectors on the planet. I didn't want to continue with them, so I'll probably never know. If you hire them, best of luck to you, and please let us know how it works out for you. read more

My husband and I were very pleased with our inspector and the time he spent with us and how thorough our inspection was. After he went through the entire house with a "fine tooth comb" he sat down with us and made sure we understood everything he came across. I have and would refer this company to anyone. Thanks for the great inspection and your time ECS!! read more

First time using ECS Home Inpsection. On time service with a professional attitude. Reasonable rates. As a Real Estate agent its great to see a company do what they say they do. I highly reccommend them!!! Client was very satisfied. read more

I called ECS on a whim, looking for a home inspection for a new house I was buying. They proved to be competitively priced (which frankly won them the job), responsive, professional, competent, and great overall. The dispatch office was excellent and very capable--I dealt with Jasmine (and one time with a Jessica ??)--both girls were terrific, articulate, and very helpful. I paid extra for a camera sewer inspection, which was performed by Calvin, and boy was that money well spent!! Calvin did a good job scoping the sewer line, found evidence of root intrusion (indicative of a slab leak--which is very serious); I then hired a plumbing company to further investigate Calvin's findings, and indeed, the house had serious plumbing leaks and problems. This ultimately led me to pull out of the house purchase and I am SO GLAD I DID--it would've been a nightmare of a repair. Thank you ECS!! read more

CONSUMER BEWARE!!! My experience with this company and having to deal with their lack of a thorough home inspection has brought on a financial burden that should have been avoided if ECS Home Inspections provided the service they claim. read more

I would not recommend this inspection company, the inspector listed so many items that were either nonexistent or listed items not working when in fact items like AC unit work you just have to know how to turn it on. Because he couldn't figure out how to turn it on he listed it as in operable. But yet left the heater on @ 83 degrees, which of course was "in operable" left 5 lights on and ceiling fan running full blast. This is a vacant home so it was discovered 3 days later. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate company to be so careless. read more

Hands down the best home inspectors in Southern California. I've been a real estate agent since 2006, and have utilized the services of many home inspection companies. ECS has by far the most knowledgeable inspectors in the business. Their customer service representative, Jasmine, is extremely helpful and make scheduling a breeze. I will not work with anyone but ECS! read more

ECS did a horrible, horrible job performing a proper inspection of our home prior to close of escrow. The company failed to note major issues with the home such as major water damage throughout the home, presence of mold, poor home construction that appeared to not be up to code (our patio floor drained water towards our home), presence of mold, severity of termite damage, pipe damage throughout the home, air conditioning/ducts that needed to be replaced, storm drains placed too close to the home and in wrong direction draining towards the home, structural problems and the list goes on and on. We had a second inspection of the home that came up with pages and pages of problems that ECS never even mentioned. ECS performed a poor quality of work which resulted in us purchasing a home that needs major repairs that we cannot afford. We would have never bought the home if ECS even came up with half the list our second home inspection did. DO NOT WORK WITH ECS!!! DO NOT TRUST THEM!!! DO NOT EVEN TAKE THE CHANCE OF ENDING UP WHERE WE ARE! **I WOULD HAVE GIVEN NO STARS BUT YELP DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO!*** read more

I have been in the Real Estate business for over 21 years, and have worked with many home Inspectors. I feel extremely confident recommending my clients utilize the services of ECS. They have proven to be very thorough, professional, and accurate. Remember, it is an inspectors job to bring any issues to your attention. It is then your job to consult a professional in that field to further assess your situation. I continue to have happy clients when referring them to ECS Home Inspections, and look forward to many years of continued business. I also notice they sponsor local youth sports teams in our community.... Thank you for giving back! read more

7/3/14, Update: I originally had a bad experience with an inspector at ECS, but after finding out about my dissatisfaction with my ECS home inspection experience, the owners of ECS contacted me and offered me a partial refund for my troubles. They explained that the inspector has been retrained. I am now satisfied with my experience and would recommend them. After speaking with the owners, it is clear that this company really cares about their customers. read more

Ecs home inspections did an awesome job for us. We had many questions for the inspector and he was so patient with us, I referred them to my dad who purchased a home recently and he said ECS was professional and on time! Thank you ECS for a great Home Inspection! read more

Stop looking!!! This is your company, ECS Home Inspection is the best! They are professional, precise and consistent. I was recommended to ECS home inspections and we got so lucky to be directed to expert advice. As a first time home buyer, they did not mind me watching and asking questions throughout the inspection. If we ever need another home inspection, ECS will be the only number we would be calling. I recommended to my family and friends. Seriously, stop shopping around and use ECS Home Inspection. You won't regret it. read more

Our inspector Luis was amazing. Really thorough and examined every inch of the house. Afterwards, he took the time to show us dozens of pictures and answer all of our questions. He also found a number of problems that we never would have discovered on our own. Couldn't recommend him more. read more

Had outstanding and thoroughly detailed inspection and report by this company. After reading the report, I had questions and sent an email with them. Instead of waiting the usual days, because the work had already been paid for, I waited less than a couple hours. Several of my concerns were explained out and the report was sent to the sellers. I don't remember my inspectors name, but he was courteous and patient with all my questions at the property during the inspection. Highly recommended. read more

Calvin left me with no power on one half of my house. He left the dishwasher and ac on after completing inspection (good thing house was not vacant). Tony is the most condescending individual I have ever talked to and does not take accountability for his employees wrong doings and does not expect them to either. read more

This is my first house and I hired ECS for home inspection. I reached the seller property about 10 min late while the inspector was already working. My sellers are aged couples with grand kids. Their agent was also present at the property. I received below feedback from the Seller & their agent about this inspection. It leaves me embarrassed as their have question whether the inspector was even licensed. "The inspector never introduced himself to my agent or us when he arrived. He initially looked around at the first floor glancing into the bedroom then entered the bathroom breaking a light switch while there. He failed to tell us about that...or apologize. Leaving the panel door open he then ascended the stairs to the second floor. We did not follow or bother him while he was slamming and banging upstairs. We note the following results of his upstairs visit: the small bathroom was left with water on the mirror and sink area splattering on the cabinet, the shower door track guide was broken and must now be repaired, dirty crumpled paper towels were left strewn on the floor and sink area. During his viewing of the top corner in living room he left dirty handprints on the wall and in an area we could not later clean them. My wife pointed this out to him...his gruff response was "send the bill to the company". Finally after some haranguing he wiped the wall and stormed out of our property. My wife and I were left distraught by these events the rest of the evening with little sleep throughout the night. We hope he will never return as he is not welcome in our home. He is clearly the rudest and most unprofessional person we have encountered in the last few decades." read more

I've used ECS numerous times for my clients. Recently, their service and quality of work has been called into question. The final straw that broke the camel's back was when their inspector left a stove on overnight, and I returned to my client's property to find it filled with carbon monoxide. The stove was an older one, and the thought that the entire place could have gone up in smoke made me sick to my stomach. It just so happens on this very same property their inspector decided to charge me an additional $100 because there was a kitchenette in addition to the kitchen. The kitchenette consisted of one sink and one, small stove. He spent maybe an additional 10 minutes 'inspecting' the kitchenette, so I guess that was worth $100. When I contacted the owner to discuss what had transpired, he proceeded to offer excuses and actually blame others. And to top it off he avoided speaking with me on the phone and instead sent an email. I will never use ECS again. Their customer service is terrible and there are serious quality concerns with their inspections. read more

ECS was a big help! We're selling our home, needed an inspection, and found ECS to be affordable, professional and quick. We got an appointment right away. The inspector arrived early and finished quickly. I've had inspectors come who just go around the house and don't even say what they're doing, but the ECS inspector told me what he was going to do, how long it would take, and what was going to be on the report. He came back with about 20 items that needed repair. The report even included photos of the areas of the property that need to be repaired. I really appreciate their thoroughness. It helped us to prepare our house for sale. read more

Thank you Edwin V. for explaining your findings in a way that the average person can understand. You took your time, were thorough, knowledgeable, & were very patient when answering our many questions. As an added bonus, you pointed out some areas that passed inspection but you recommended for us to make small improvements/changes that could make things last longer, work more efficiently or provide even more safety. You were knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, & arrived on time - a true professional! read more

ECS helped me feel secure in my home purchase a few months ago. The inspector took my husband around and showed him all the areas of concern that would show up on the report. My husband works in construction and is knowledgeable himself , so to have someone who could explain to him what was wrong and he was correct, was just so reassuring!!! I can't recommend them enough, we have had no issues with our home and loved their efficiency and customer service! read more

The inspector arrived on time and was very professional. I would highly recommend this company to anyone purchasing a property and needing a home inspection. read more

This is the best company that you can go with to do your home inspection I just did mine couple days ago they give me the best service especially Jessica, they pointed out all the details on the house that I'm trying to purchase they gave me a lot of information that I didn't know about before I recommend this company to anyone that trying to get a good deal and also have the best service ever. read more

DO NOT do bussiness with this company! I recently hire them to do home inspection. The inspector totally missed that the water heater was leaking. After COE when SDGE came and found out it was leaking for a while and was corroded. And will not turn on the gas due to hazard...So I have to buy a new water heater before I move in.Company management was reached and won't do anything...So pay a little more and find someone knows what he is doing. read more

Edwin Valencia was punctual and efficient during the home inspection. He took the time to show and explain his findings. He answered any inquiries I had about the house. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant during the entire process. I would definitely recommend him and ECS. read more

Josh did a great job on our inspection for purchising our new home. The inspection was fast and seemed thorough. I'd highly recommend him. read more

5 stars all the way! I was referred to this business by a friend of mine who has also had her home inspected. Scheduling the appointment was an easy and pleasant process and the price was to our liking! The day of the inspection our inspector showed up right on time, was very professional and very kind. He went through the house very thoroughly along with taking his time. We were very pleased with his presence and the job he did and did a great job on explaining everything he had found. I usually need things said to me in a million different ways but our inspector spoke my french so it was an easy process and easy to unserstand. Ill forever be recommending ESC to others in need of inspections. Thanks again guys!! You have a forever client :) read more

I am a real estate broker and I was in hurry to get inspection on a house and I called ECS and could not get through and they called me back telling me they had a missed call from me. The person I talked to was a really sweet lady and she gave me price quotes which compared to other ones that I called was much more reasonable. I scheduled my inspection and termite inspection with them quickly and I am sure they are going to do a great job based on what I have read from their prior reviews. read more

Mike was amazing!!!! He was so thorough he took his time. Never did we feel he was rushing. He made sure to explain everything in details, so that we could have a full understanding of what was going on. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thank you mike for reassuring our decision. read more

ECS was not my first choice, this is the third house I purchased and my previous inspector was busy. After searching online this company was available and cheap, please spend a couple more dollars and get a more thorough inspection company. After the inspection I had a a/c repair company look at my house and they found asbestos exposed clearly in the attic, after calling ECS they said it was in the fine print that they do not look for asbestos! That same a/c repair person clearly showed me some dry rot on the side of my house. What??? Why did I just pay an inspector to look at my house? This is a really unprofessional company, hopefully I don't find many more surprises. Do yourself a favor and please pay an extra $50 - $100 to know what is really happening in your new home! AVOID ECS HOME INSPECTIONS. read more

Very friendly and was able to book inspection right away. Checked every little item in the house. Pointed out all the issues in detail on site and provided same data in 56 page report. Very pleased with the overall experience. Not in the home yet, but seemed thorough - would recommend to anyone! read more
