GS Retrofit came through for us when escrow was closing fast and we needed to make sure our condominium in San Pedro was code compliant with the City of Los Angeles. Pete came out ASAP, took a dozen pics, inspected everything closely, conferred with the head office that evening and we had our estimate immediately. Pete is the friendliest and most professional inspector around! Just a few days later Pete and his trusty assistant returned and worked non-stop, even installing 2 new toilets, to get us up to code and voila! the condominium was SOLD, Morris having already filed all the necessary forms. Excellent work and clean up, super responsive front office, everything GS Retrofit did for us deserves 5/5! steve . read more

They didn't show up for my appointment. Someone called and said he had no information, that he had to look it up, and then he never called never showed so I drove there and sat there for nothing. I called to ask the office what happened, nobody answered so I left a voicemail and nobody called back. What a bummer. The appraiser came and there were no straps. I wanted to love this service but dependability is the main thing I was looking for and that is a 0/5. read more

We were selling our house and this company was recommended or contracted by our realtor. They said our house was not in compliance with code for smoke detectors and that the all or some of the smoke detectors needed to be hardwired. I was independent construction contractor before but I was busy during this time so I let this company do the changes since they quoted $350 to do the whole house and it would have saved me a couple hours of work. I also thought they would have been adding electrical boxes and wires because they made it seem like there weren't any there. Anyways long story short our house sale fell through and our agent came to us with the invoice for the smoke alarms which when originally quoted was $350 all of sudden the bill was $583. I of course told my agent no we are not paying that outrageous bill. Today I was sitting in my office and noticed that one of the smoke alarms was hanging slightly slanted. So I got up on a chair to check it I pull the smoke alarm off and find that the contractor put the screw that supports the detector directly into plaster instead of the electrical box. Not only that I find that the box was already there it was not new. And lastly the wire nut holding the wire came right off was not screwed tightly and didn't have tape. So that peaked my interest I went through all of the smoke detectors not one of the smoke alarm boxes were new. Which means that this company just swapped the smoke detectors. There was not any new wiring done and in the downstairs where there wasn't any hardwired smoke detectors in a couple rooms they just used battery operated. These are simple fixes and I think that when companies like this find out that the invoice is being charged to the escrow they just milk the clock because who is going to check their work? read more

Put in a new wired combo smoke detector and CO detector. Didn't wire it properly, took out all the power in half of our condo. Then had to pay $200 to have an electrician come who spent 2 mins twisting two wires back together and the power immediately came back on. These people are incompetent and will cost you extra time and hassle. read more

GS installed 6 earthquake gas shut off valves at our apartment complex in Anaheim. I called in originally for one and was scheduled the following day for an install. There was some confusion on my part as to the quantity. I was able to speak to the installer, Pete, who was able to accomodate my request, give me a discounted quote and still come out the following day. We spoke about the install and we were on the same page. He came out the following day at 3:00pm and stayed after 6 to complete the job. he also followed up the following day to give the gas pipes a fresh coat of paint. He answered all my questions, was accommodating, completed the work efficiently and professionally. Overall, great job and I would recommend GS for future work. read more

GS Retrofit is new NUMBER ONE to call!!!! Real Estate agents need reliable service. This proves that the up and coming action based company GS Retrofit overtakes the biggest leading local companies that "appear to be the biggest" are no longer the best -when they become too big to get the job done in a reasonable time. The other company told me they were 7to 15 days out! This news learned after their inspection. It wasn't too late -I switched immediately and a new following stream, moved to GS Retrofit. I called escrow, title other agents to spread this news. Everyone deserves to hear about this. SouthBay, valley, Long Beach to Beverly Hills! Even more valuable to being on time is being correct, honest, and knowledgeable. The best is GS Retrofit. read more

GS Retrofit - GS retrofit has my heart because they stand above the crowd! - Home Inspectors Near Me

As an out of the area Realtor, I was referred by a colleague to GS Retrofit to do an inspection in LA County for a property on which I was representing Sellers. Not aware of city requirements, I was a bit slow to the table on this matter. I contacted GS Retrofit and their response from start was amazing. And Cynthia, what a GEM and an asset to the Company, was caring, professional and explained all in details. Inspection was set quickly, of course some items needed to be done to meet the compliance, owners had lived there for over 40 years. I discussed matters with Pete & Cynthia and work was authorized. Owners took care of some items and GS Retrofit did couple of large items. Work was done quickly and professionally. They worked great with Escrow officer, we could not have gone to the finish line on time without their help. So thank you Cynthia, Pete & the whole team. I will without a doubt recommend you to anyone needing these services, whenever an opportunity arises. Thank you for your care and all of your help on this home! Wishing you much success! read more

As the Successor Trustee for an estate selling a property in Los Angeles (without realtors), I could not have been more pleased than to have been directed to GS Retrofit to complete my home inspection! Cynthia was absolutely wonderful, and was always willing to spend whatever time that I required in order to understand the process, as well as what work should be completed in order to have a clean report! (She had to put up with my multiple calls and was always kind and gracious!) They worked within our schedule and showed up on time. Overall this was a very seamless transaction! read more

I have been selling homes since 1998. I had used various companies to complete the inspections related to the mandate within the city of Los Angeles to have particular systems retrofitted when a seller is selling a home for the new buyer to purchase. Morris and his crew are quick, don't overcharge and do not over book. Furthermore, the communication level is very high, easy to order and he is personally connected and keeps tabs on the events that his crew book and is very responsive. read more

The inspector did a cursory "glance" at my clients toilets and declared they needed to be replaced. Approximate estimate $800! I thought this was odd because I sold this property only 3 years ago and it passed retrofit then. After we checked the toilet water flow was 1.6 gallons I emailed the company and asked if that was not adequate ? The owner "Morris" called me and asked for pictures of the 1.6 gallon toilets. Once we provided pics he said he would adjust the costly invoice. Buyer Beware! Double check your current toilets! read more

I had a bad experience with this co. When installing a valve the worker cut my plant down without my permission when he could have easily moved it or asked me to do it. Also, while installing the valve he gouged out a large portion of the stucco without repairing it. When i called the company i was told it would be repaired but weeks later it was not. I was forced to hire someone else to repair it at my own expense. read more

Morris / GS Retrofit is The Best! They are easy to schedule; Morris is over-the-top polite, timely and thorough; and every experience with them has been truly outstanding. Plus, every time we have the opportunity to recommend them, our associates thank us immensely. We cannot recommend this retrofit company strongly enough!! read more

I've been a Real Estate agent for almost 20 years and I recently used GS Retrofit to perform an inspection at one of my listings in Los Angeles. The company I usually use couldn't schedule me for a week and a half. Cynthia, in the office, was VERY helpful and was able to schedule me right away. Morris Anderson, the owner/inspector was on time, wonderful to work with, very thorough and I had my report in my email box before I got back to my office! I recommend them highly! I'm recommending them to the rest of my company. A++ I will definitely make them my first call in the future! read more

FYI: Similar company had provided me with a very inaccurate estimate. Thanks for your Service! VV El Segundo read more

Showed up on time. Saved the client money and I will use them again.

These guys were great! They scheduled the retrofit the same day. Completed it and got the certificate of compliance back. All in the same day. I know everyones goes with Metro Retro but these guys are legit and worth a try! read more

GS Retrofit did my retrofit work after buying 6 months ago (gas shutoff valves, water tank bracing, etc). I was having trouble with the sensitivity of the shutoff valves due to movement in the house. They came the same day I called to resolve the issue and spent a great deal of time with me explaining the system and helping to light the pilot. Very kind people and good service. read more

I just found my go to retrofitter for all my listings from here on out. Thank you both! read more

Morris Anderson is the ultimate professional. I have used GS Retrofit in the past but felt compelled to write this stellar review. I was in escrow in representing the buyer. The seller's agent was handling the retrofit inspection and repairs but they were not going to be done in a timely manner. I asked the listing agent if I could call my retrofit contact. He said yes. I called Morris on a Monday and he did the came out on Tuesday. He took care of the repairs and we were able to move forward without a hitch. He was on time, followed Covid guidelines and texted me pics of the repairs once he was done. He and his team are prompt and friendly. I recommend to all real estate professionals that if you are looking for a reliable vendor to add to your list of resources, you need to add Morris Anderson at GS Retrofit and his team of professionals. You will not be disappointed! read more

Peter did a good job! I will use GS Retrofit in the future. Peter was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
