Six years later, after having tenants, we're moving back in and wanted peace of mind. Jerry was incredibly thorough, professional, and detailed.

He was also available to discuss any of the findings more thoroughly, but honestly the report was perfect. I wish we had used him back in 2019... I probably could've saved a lot of money! I'll definitely be calling him again for any future inspections.

I was purchasing an older home in Long Beach and I was worried that I was making a bad decision but there just isn't that many homes for sale in the area where I want to live. These guys were fast and efficient and totally professional and the inspector showed up early, gave an amazing summary at the end of the inspection and explained every little detail including significant findings I needed to be aware of right away. I received a very detailed report loaded with pictures and recommendations that clearly laid out everything I needed to know from basic maintenance to urgent safety issues. I was able to move forward with my home purchase with a much better understanding of exactly what I needed to budget for as well as which items were more urgent that could be negotiated with the sellers for repair. If you want a solid inspection that will put your mind at ease hire this company. Not to mention the fact that the entire staff is very professional, kind and organized. I would use them again and again on a future purchase! Thank you Home Inspection Experts you guys deserve 10 stars!!!

He also didn't pressure me by recommending any specific contractor. That level of honesty really stood out to me. I would 100% recommend Randy to my friends.

Most unprofessional experience I've ever had. Do not trust this guy with the most important and…read moreexpensive purchase of your life. He is not knowledgeable (made several errors), incredibly difficult to work with, and has the temperament of a petulant child. Edit: Some red flags for future readers - 1) this is the only home inspector of the five we reached out to who required full payment BEFORE the appointment. 2) he sent the original contract at midnight the night before he cancelled and cancelled it at 6:30pm, meaning he gave us less than 18 hours to read, sign and pay for a contract. 3) Since he cancelled on us last minute, I politely asked (pleaded, even) for him to reconsider - I said I would pay and sign then, but he denied us. This guy is probably sadistic or sociopathic at the least - it seemed he took pleasure in leaving us without help. 4) There are several typos in his reply above - keep in mind that this is who will be analyzing your home and writing your 100+ page inspection report. Do you want someone of this intelligence and education level spotting potentially deadly issues in your future home?

He's not just checking boxes -- he genuinely teaches you about the home and approaches the inspection as an educator, explaining things clearly and patiently as you go. I felt like I was going to school in the best way. His historical knowledge of homes by era was impressive. What really stood out was his attention to detail. He actually gave us more insight into our roof than our specialized roof inspector did, which says a lot. His reports were also delivered quickly and clearly, which was crucial for us since we were on a fast closing timeline. Jerry is also very friendly and easy to work with, which makes what can be a stressful process feel much more manageable. His son, Kyle, handled the sewer inspection and was equally punctual, detailed, and professional. Together, they spent a significant amount of time going through everything thoroughly and never made us feel rushed. They even went above and beyond in small but meaningful ways -- during the patio inspection, Jerry noticed our screen door was a bit wobbly and fixed it on the spot. If you're looking for inspectors who are knowledgeable, meticulous, timely, and genuinely care about doing the job right, Brooks and Sons Inspections is an easy recommendation. We love Jerry!!

Jerry was punctual but he rushed through the inspection - 1-1/2 hours for a 3200 sq ft single family residence - and missed items that should have been called out. When I mentioned some of them, including whether he tested the airflow with a meter from the HVAC vents as there is only one HVAC unit and it's a 2 story home, he replied that when he tested the heat and air, it worked fine but he never tested the amount of airflow out of the vents. He also failed to check if glass french doors were tempered or if they had the proper glazing. Previous inspections I have had with licensed inspectors that were actually less expensive than him, have always covered these things. It was a very disappointing experience.

He was warm, professional, and extremely thorough. He took the time to carefully review my house, showed me how the floor had lifted as a result of the settlement and foundation damage, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. What impressed me most was how transparent and detailed the estimate process was. Lee showed me photos of the damage, including areas under the house that I had never seen, and even shared video from the crawl space. His estimate was competitive, but more importantly, everything was clearly explained. Because his review was so thorough, he was confident there would not be scope creep, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. There is nothing better than a major home repair project being completed at the agreed budget without surprise negotiations, added invoices, or stress. Compared to the other companies, Sunshine's estimate was also much more transparent. It included engineering fees, and Lee was upfront that in my case I did not need custom engineering because the city-approved foundation repair engineering plans could be used. That honesty mattered to me and helped build trust. The work itself was first class. The crew was efficient, courteous, and completed a 22-foot foundation replacement with four under-house underpinnings in a little over a week. My wife and I are beyond pleased with the result. They were also responsive any time I had questions, and everyone I interacted with, including the main office, was professional and helpful. As a nice bonus, they even installed new crawl space grilles at no additional cost so everything looked clean and finished. I honestly thought foundation repair would not feel as satisfying as something visible like a kitchen remodel, but I was wrong. Seeing the finished work has been incredibly satisfying. The house looks newer, cleaner, and more solid, and now I'm even planning to update the gutters to match the freshened-up look. If you are on the fence about choosing Sunshine Foundation, I can't recommend them enough. My experience was excellent, and I'm very grateful to Lee and the entire team.

This was an indication that my house was sinking a bit due to the really spongy dirt the houses in my area are built on. I solicited for foundation repair jobs on Yelp where I came across Sunshine foundation repair. After back to back estimate appointments, I met Jonathan who was knowledgeable and professional. He explained what could have been the cause of my issues (all of which aligned with what other companies told me) and was friendly an professional. The experience was one of those where you know the estimator isn't BS-ing you or trying to take advantage of protentional new customer business. After getting an estimate that was competitive with others, I decided to go with Sunshine Foundation Repairs. The office staff was also friendly and helpful in clarifying the process of the job which was to install new concrete pier-blocks embedded in concrete with pressure treated posts as well as to perform some minor foundation repair. When it came time to do the work, the team showed up on-time and prepared. They finished the job in a single day and cleaned up in and around the area, which I was pleased to see. The crew was nice as well. I haven't had any major rain to see if the foundation repair met my needs so time will tell. However, the overall structural integrity is an improvement that gives me the peace of mind for my home investment. I would highly recommend Sunshine Foundation Repairs.
