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.

John found every crack and bump that I didnt even see/notice living there for a year, and he explained any concerns he found. He was also very patient as my 3-year old followed him like a shadow. One thing that made Zenith stick out besides the certifications and Google's AI suggesting him over the others was services like thermal scan was included in his quote, so great value in not having to second guess on any potential extra fees if I wanted (and did) have concerns of a leak in the wall(s). John was great, but hopefully I won't need him again as I do not plan on buying another home... at least in CA.

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.

Ian asked multiple questions about the type of inspection we were looking for, what type of system we had, and what our expectations for the inspection were, then actually recommended a different specialist inspector who he believed would be able to provide the service we were looking for.

I will definitely be sure to recommend Ian and Calview to friends who are looking for inspection services!

I want to respond to several inaccurate statements in the prior review from my landlord Elizabeth…read more  Firstly, Zach was the technician who conducted the inspection. He was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Ian is the owner of the company. From my experience with him in this short while , I've learned he is a family man with astounding integrity. Second, I did not contact this company Cal-View Property Inspections casually or without cause. I reached out because there were serious ongoing concerns in my home, involving exposed walls, abnormal air quality, and conditions that affected my family's health and safety. At the time, children were living in the home, and the wall area had remained exposed for an extended period. The inspection was not the cause of the problem. It was conducted because I needed answers about conditions that already existed inside the unit. The inspection helped confirm that mold concerns were present in the air and on surfaces within the home, including in my daughter's bedroom. After the inspection, I pursued code enforcement. That process resulted in multiple code violations being identified, and repairs were required. My family was displaced as a result of the condition of the home, not because of anything this company created. The statements suggesting improper motive or lack of professionalism do not reflect my experience. I hired this company because I needed an independent assessment, and from my experience they were professional, responsive, and helpful during an extremely stressful situation. This company did not create the conditions in my home. They documented them. I am grateful I contacted them.
