We had a crawlspace inspection in August 2023, which was thorough and easy enough to schedule. The…read moreinspection report was sent as a link in an email which worked when I first opened it. However, I recently needed a copy of the report and the link no longer works. Over the past month, I have contacted Seth twice by email and once by phone message about how to get a copy of the report WE PAID FOR and have not heard a word back. Very frustrating and unprofessional. Can't recommend.

Seth was terrific - not only was the price reasonable, but the service was great. He was reliable…read moreand efficient - showed up on time, was clear about what he needed and when, and made steady progress. It's clear that he's very knowledgeable and experienced. We had him inspect a few different buildings and he was very systematic. The report was very thorough and clearly outlined (with pictures) exactly what was wrong and where. He caught issues that even someone who's worked in construction for a long time didn't notice. After his inspection, he spent a significant amount of time to answer all the questions we had and show us his findings (including being willing to get into the crawl space again!!!), including sharing suggestions that will save us time and money. 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!

I never thought about using a home inspector. I had the pest report, I can look around and see how…read morethings look .. why an inspector.. well I have to tell you.. 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!

From the start they communicated clearly and walked us through what they were seeing during the inspection. What stood out most was their honesty. I even gave them an opportunity to upsell additional services, but they respectfully told me it wasn't necessary based on their observations. That level of integrity made me trust their work even more. We're moving to the Bay Area from Los Angeles, so having a reliable inspection in a new place was really important for our family. I'd confidently recommend Ramey's Home Inspection to anyone. Pros: * Very thorough inspection * Honest recommendations (no upselling) * Great communication * Team approach made the process efficient * Helped us feel confident about our home purchase

We had a fantastic experience working with Matt Cantor of Cantor Inspections. The level of detail…read moreand depth of knowledge he provides easily justify the cost of the inspection, which pays for itself several times over when deciding who and what work to do. Matt conducted a very thorough inspection and, more importantly, helped my family understand how to prioritize the work our home needed. His report gave us the knowledge and confidence to speak with contractors and make sure we were focusing on the right repairs rather than unnecessary work. What really stood out was that Matt didn't disappear after the inspection. He remained available for follow-up questions and was incredibly generous with his time and advice as we evaluated contractor proposals. His insight helped us navigate some very expensive recommendations and focus on practical, staged solutions instead. If you want a home inspector who is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping homeowners make smart decisions, I can't recommend Matt highly enough. Working with him was invaluable for our family.

TL;DR - I had a wonderful experience with Matt and highly recommend Cantor Inspections. He is warm,…read moregracious with his time, and incredibly knowledgeable. He wears many hats--part inspector, part anthropologist, part design historian, and so much more. Matt was communicative and able to fit in an inspection of my home almost immediately. I also found his rate to be very affordable, especially given the quality of work and his attention to detail. Long Form Review - I live in Oakland and have a craftsman style house built in 1913. My wife and I bought the house in 2022 as first time homebuyers. We have been so happy in the home, but it has a range of issues and quirks, as I imagine all century-old buildings do. We have done several repairs and renovations on the home already and have many more projects planned. From the initial inspection report and after having lived in the home for 3 years, we thought we had a pretty good idea of what projects and repairs needed to come next. However, before committing any more time and money to any future projects, we felt that we needed an expert, third-party source to help us reevaluate the home, prioritize future work, and identify urgent repairs. This was the context with which I reached out to Matt at Cantor Inspections. I initially messaged Matt via Yelp, and he got back to me almost immediately. Even though he was traveling internationally at the time, he was incredibly communicative and was able to schedule me as soon as he got back from his trip. On the day of the inspection, Matt arrived on time and was more than happy to have me shadow him. The inspection took about 6 hours and I was probably able to follow Matt around for 80-90% of it, observing, taking notes, and picking his brain over a myriad of different issues. Matt is warm, kind, and patient. He answered all of my questions and provided me with quite the history lesson regarding Craftsmen style homes, as well as lessons on construction techniques, material science, engineering, and much, much more. I also found Matt to be empathetic and understanding of my unique situation, more than willing to talk through the issues that were most salient to me. In terms of the report itself and Matt's work, I found it to be very in-depth and comprehensive. In the Recommendations section, Matt does a great job of identifying an issue, describing why that issue is a problem, and outlining steps to fixing said issue. Overall, Cantor Inspections went above and beyond in helping my wife and I reevaluate our home, prioritize future work, and identify urgent repairs. Lastly, I'll add that Matt was great with our dog and cat, who also followed Matt around for most of the day.

I would give 10 stars if I could! Pete gave me the peace of mind that an overly cautious/nervous…read moreperson like me needs before buying a house. Per my real estate agent, Pete performed the most thorough inspection that he has ever witnessed in his professional life. And yes, he was not exaggerating. It took Pete several hours to go through each and every corner of the house that we were buying. After he was done, he gave us a very thorough summary of his findings. I had gazillions of questions which he all answered so intelligently and patiently. I tell you, I felt like I just made friends with our house then - knowing its every tidbit of good and bad. Too boot, Pete sent us the report that night! How can he be this efficient? Well, he only does one inspection a day, unlike some inspectors who cram multiple inspections a day. With Pete, you can be sure that you have his full attention. I would highly recommend Pete! And oh, not only does he do his job well above and beyond the call of duty, he also has the most Zen-like attitude and personality!

When recommending a home inspector to clients, I look for someone who is thorough, personable and able to give an honest assessment of the condition of the property - that's Pete.

Additionally he provides clients with his reports in a timely manner (usually same day) and a lengthy local resource list, which is a bonus!

Gary was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain everything he found throughout the inspection process. What really stood out was how educational the inspection was.

He took the time to explain its purpose, maintenance requirements, and other important details about the home so I could be a more informed homeowner. His professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to answer questions gave me confidence that nothing was overlooked.
