Awesome inspector! Easy 5 out of 5! Jeff was great to work with. He was very responsive, upfront and honest. I messaged him through yelp and he quoted a very reasonable and fair price. He didn't b.s, didn't try to scam me. I had other people pulling prices out of their ass - quoting at $600-800 for a small condo inspection. Jeff is very experienced and took his time to guide us through the inspection process. He communicated all his findings clearly and gave us great tips along the way. He was friendly and personable. Not at all condescending like another reviewer alleged. I can tell he's very passionate about his job and a subject matter expert in his line of work. He was helpful, answered all of our questions, and gave honest feedback. I even got my report back less than 24 hours! It was a pleasure working with Jeff. I highly recommend Jeff for home inspection services. read more

I feel so lucky to have found Jeff. I was prompted to find an inspector after detecting some concerning moisture in my flooring. I wanted to get a neutral assessment, so I spoke to a few inspectors. However, my phone conversation with Jeff was so amazingly helpful, I knew I wanted to meet with him. When he came over, he had the right equipment to quickly resolve my moisture concerns. After that, he spent the rest of the time going over every little concern I've ever had about my home since we bought it 10 years ago. He shoots straight (to the point of being funny) and is very practical in his advice. It was awesome to have an expert give candid assessments on different issues. He was also very generous with his time, and he seemed to just enjoy helping me understand how to best proceed as a homeowner. I think every home owner should have someone like Jeff come out check out your home, especially after a few years of living in it, and you've gotten to know the issues of a home. It was super. Thank you! read more

I recently purchased a home and wanted to have my inspection done (and not solely rely in the seller's). I heard good things about Jeff at Inspect.Net, and he definitely did not disappoint! Jeff was incredible to work with, and I would STRONGLY suggest him for your home inspection. Jeff is one of those people you wish you could give more than 5 stars to! Jeff was right on time, is extremely knowledgeable, and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. He is thorough and spends the extra time to discuss and help educate a homeowner about anything he finds- positive or negative. He personally investigated almost every aspect of the property - every electrical outlet (and identified all the half-hots on the property, tested GFCIs), every sink/toilets/shower, each window, every appliance, ect. Jeff doesn't miss a thing! He'll also take the time to explain some of the features or important aspects of your property, so you are more knowledgeable. Jeff will also make suggestions for things you can do to improve the safety or reduce having an issue in the future - such as wireless water sensors beneath sinks , humidity-controlled fans, etc. He searched the entire place, even electrical, and plumbing, from the attic to the garage. Jeff spent extra time discussing this with me, and I am a much more-informed homeowner because of it. I've already implemented some of this suggestions, and they are working out great! I would strongly, strongly suggest you have Jeff do your next home inspection - he is the BEST. read more

There are still good people out there and Jeff is one of them! He is experienced and wise. He took time out of his busy day and helped me deal with my property. He gave me great advice and I can't thank him enough! I will share his business with friends and family. read more

Jeff is the best inspector we have ever worked with. Highly recommend to anyone buying or seller a property.

We have never had experience with an inspector before so it's difficult to assess Jeff's work to other inspectors. With that being said, Jeff was extremely responsive to messages and prices were very competitive. He is also very fair and doesn't try and nickel and dime his clients. Like other inspectors, prices vary depending on the size of the house. Ours was just over 2000 sqft and Jeff decided to give us the price quote for houses below this, which was very nice of him. Since we were using his service to inspect a new construction home, he offered the choice to opt out of a physical report for a discount since he could relay his findings directly to the construction managers, which is a nice option. On the day of the inspection, he showed up on time. Since there was no roof access, he brought a drone, which was pretty cool. He also was knowledgeable and shared what he was doing as he inspected the house (e.g. checking HVAC, plumbing, outlets, etc.). The entire time took about 2 hours. read more

I have used this company twice now. It was recommended by our realtor on the first house we purchased and the house passed the inspection. A year later when we went to sell the house we found we could not, and had to repair dry rot that had been long before we purchased the house. Couple thousand out of pocket. We used the same relator on the house we purchased right after, andnn without thinking had the home inspection done by this company again. The current roof was less than 10 years old and in the roof inspection it stated that it the roof was put on in a "professional manner", the "installation was above average", and that "better than average" materials where used. Fast forward exactly 1 year....we have a massive leak through the master bedroom in the middle of rain season. After having 5 separate roofing companies come out and provide assessments, the same things where stated by all of them, before even finding the problem. 1) The wrong materials where used. 2) The installation was done completely wrong. 3) Upon visual inspection it's not up to code. 4) It has been rotting for well over a year. I would have preferred no report on the roof at all, than one that stated that is was in great shape. I would have purchased an in depth roof inspection (lesson learned, hire experts in the field). A $350 inspection will now, on the low end cost $2500 for a repair, and on the high end cost a brand new roof depending on what else is found when they rip it up. ** And that's not even going into finding out the all the electricity to the back addition to the house had power running too it by one extension cord hanging from the rafters, immediately visible when opening up the crawl space. (Found that when I was looking for the leak) No way that's up to code...not sure how that was missed. read more

Everything was great from quote, schedule, and do the inspection, until it turned south on getting the report which was critical for my timing to list the property. I rely on these report to estimate listing price. Cost is very reasonable. Scheduling was very easy and prompt. Inspection was late but great communication. Report was clear. When it comes to getting the report, I waited for 3 days thinking there was a weekend, but nothing as promised. I tried all means by text, email, call without a response until a whole week later it was finally emailed to me. read more

Jeff did a great job with our home inspection. It was easy to schedule an appointment with him - he was on-time and really took his time to inspect the house. Jeff is down to earth and easy to talk to. He answered all of our questions with thorough explanations. He is very knowledgeable. We also got our report very quick! I would highly recommend Jeff! read more

Best home inspector we ever had. Jeff arrived on time and did a great job. He very thoroughly looked over our house and then spoke with us at length about what he found. He has a professional background and gave us some great tips. He also has upfront reasonable prices posted on his website (inspect dot net) where you can set up an appointment easily. Would hire him again in a heartbeat! read more

Jeff Bond said don't call me, after his inspection. I I just had to spend over 1,000 having safety issues fixed Hire your grandmother, she could do a better job. read more

I highly recommend Jeff. We had a unique situation at our house and Jeff took good care of us and made things right! He was professional and weathered through the challenges to get us what we needed. Don't hesitate to reach out to him for your next home inspection. read more

Jeff is absolutely amazing. A diamond in the rough. He is sincerely and eagerly looking out for the best interest of his customers. He is knowledgeable, honest, kind, detail-oriented, passionate about his work, eager to share his knowledge, and an excellent communicator. An absolute delight to work with and extremely qualified. It's very rare to have an inspector who is a licensed contractor and trained engineer. Most inspectors merely give very cursory assessments. Jeff can dive in deep into the technical weeds. I had a great deal of remodeling work and new construction done and was growing increasingly concerned about my contractor's attention to detail. With 2 toddlers, it was important to me to have peace of mind so I invited Jeff an objective third party to inspect the work done, particularly for any safety issues. I liked how principled he was about stating upfront he absolutely will not do any contracting work for me because he needs to ensure there is no conflict of interest when he performs his inspections. Not only did Jeff spot quite a few subtle but key things, he also was able to diagnose an issue that was long concerning me and using impressive investigator's skills, he pinpointed the how, when, where and who of the issue so I knew exactly who to go to in order to get the issue resolved. He also gave me confidence and negotiation tips for going back to my contractor to request that this issues be resolved. I cannot rave and recommend Jeff enough. This is easily one of my most enthusiastic reviews. :) He is a life saver. read more

My experience with Jeff Bond was less than stellar. I would have him 1 star except that I think he did a fair job at the inspection itself in the end, and corrected a mistake I found in his report. The low rating is due primarily to his lack of personal skills. My realtor chose him as an inspector for our house sale. The first time I had the misfortune of speaking with him, he was imperious and condescending, and acted like he was doing me a big favor. He was simply rescheduling the inspection because the painter was working. The outlets were uncovered as a result, but all of the outlet covers were in a bucket. He kept saying that he would have to report that as a safety violation because they were "missing," but they were clearly not missing, they had just been temporarily removed for painting. I was fine with the rescheduling, but I thought it was silly to say the outlet covers were missing, and even sillier to act like he was doing me this huge favor by rescheduling. When I tried to say they weren't missing, but I understood why he wanted to reschedule, he talked over me, didn't let me finish my sentence, and told me I clearly wasn't understanding (with a strong intimation that I was too dumb to understand). Then, when I called him to ask him to correct an error in his report, he talked over me constantly, did not let me finish a sentence, asked me "what I wanted him to do" and then would not let me reply, and when I tried to speak, chastised me for interrupting him. It was unbelievably rude. I don't know if he is neurodivergent, misogynistic, or simply full of himself. I wish my husband had spoken with him. It would have been interesting to see how he spoke with another man and if it was any different than him speaking to me. I just want to say that the other reviewer who called him arrogant was spot on. ETA: I am so glad he replied, because now everybody can see what I was talking about. I wonder if anyone has ever told him he is thin-skinned? If not, let me be the first. read more

One of the BEST Home Inspection companies we have used. Many positive things about this business: 1. It's a small business and we love supporting them. 2. The owner, Jeff, is very responsive and knowledgeable. We called for a home inspection in Milpitas and he came out a day after Thanksgiving! Wow!!! Jeff was on time, professional and thorough. 3. The verbal report was done right after the inspection and the written report was available quickly which is very important for the real estate business. His report also includes roof! 4. His price is super good: $350 for a whole house vs. $550+ from other big guys. We will be using Jeff for all of our home inspections moving forward. If you need a good home inspector, call Jeff. I have no doubt you will be extremely happy with his service! Way to go, Jeff! Keep the good work and will see you soon! read more

Oh my God! Do not look anywhere else but here for an inspector!! My wife and I have been Real Estate agents since 2002 and have had our licenses in 3 different states, my wife even had her broker's license in 2 of the 3 states. Never have we crossed paths until we stumbled on Jeff Bond this past January while representing the seller in Mountain View's 1060 sq ft home!!! Jeff was hired by the buyer and I just happened to be a part of the entire inspection due to our seller being at work and the buyer agent unavailable to let both the buyer and Jeff the inspector into the property. The buyer full of fear and extremely detail oriented. Though I thought that I had seen it all in 17 years, I was in awe through the entire inspection process. Jeff is EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGABLE, EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, & EXTREMELY CALMING!!! He is a straight shooter on what is needed to be addressed as well as what is unnecessary to get stressed about. But wait there's more... Today, Jeff called me to tell me that my buyers who scheduled an appointment for their new purchase of a 4700 sq ft home today do not need to spend their money on another inspection! And that the inspection that was recently done by the sellers a few weeks ago was not only sufficient and clean but that the one thing alarming the buyer should not be alarming. WHO DOES THAT??? He's a reverse salesman!! Telling a potential customer of his to not worry and not want to take their money!?!? The buyers decided to keep the scheduled appointment with Jeff anyway (which they should for peace of mind), but the emphasis here is how OUTSTANDING that Jeff is as an inspector! Thanks Jeff for being you. Strongly recommend & will continue to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Just to clarify I called and left 2 voice messages and never received a call back. You said you're certain you would have replied is incorrect bc then I wouldn't have had to try calling you a second time. I gave you two chances to call back which you didn't. It's sad that it took this review to get a reply from you. read more

Jeff is very honest. He drove one hour to my new construction house to do inspection. However, the property still had quite some unfinished work, and he suggested not to inspect now until later, although he need come again. Later based on my property situation, he suggested to inspect after we move in with providing all details for the reason. People usually want business to be done earlier, in order to get paid, but Jeff fully stay at our side and provide suggestions. Not saying that he provides very competitive price among best reviewed inspectors. He haven't done the real work for me yet, but so far he gives me very good impression. I usually do not review on Yelp, but he is so honest and I recommend him to every one. I will update after the inspection is done. read more

5 star experience. Working with Jeff was truly a great experience. Really straightforward explanation about everything that he saw in the inspection. Jeff made sure he helped me actually understand the state of things and not just hand me a report. Really informative conversation about the home construction methods and the warning signs to look out for. More than great value for the money he charges for the services! Thanks Jeff! read more

This review is long overdue. Jeff is thorough, collaborative and has a clear mastery of the building industry (and how different parties -- sellers, builders -- work). Jeff is also too generous. I requested his services last year a week before the house was supposed to close. I didn't realize it at the time, but the builder would delay closing for about a month; regardless, Jeff showed up early (stepladder and Google glass in hand) and walked through the house with me. He was fearless in terms of inspecting each part of the (very unfinished) house, and ultimately said it was far too early for his services to be of use. He even didn't charge me for the visit despite his having driven two hours from Oakland!!! I nevertheless sent a reimbursement for his time (also overdue... sorry Jeff!). What he left with me though was the confidence to challenge the builder with tactics he prescribed, and as a result I was treated more fairly (I might have otherwise been more apt to be pushed around). Now that the house is done and the neighborhood is coming to life, Jeff will be my #1 recommendation especially if the Association wants to do inspections en masse (and I'm on the Board so he has my vote!). read more

Jeff is a very knowledgeable and transparent man. Nothing better than working with an honest individual that knows his work well. I had the chance to talk with Jeff who has been in the industry a long time and has great contacts who all give him excellent credit. My realtor and selling agent both said great things. Jeff inspected a home I was looking at purchasing very thoroughly and provided helpful feedback. He also shared professional advice about a remodel project. He helped me understand common mistakes people might make, what to look out for, how to prevent costly errors, assurance and how to maximize time and money. Very professional about his business. If you are looking for someone who knows his stuff and will give you honest feedback, reach out to Jeff. Very grateful for his generosity, kindness and all round efforts. Thank you Jeff !!!! read more

Exceptional customer service, I called Jeff several times to schedule the appointment and he talked to me and understood my situation and gave me advice like I was family. He even gave me a discount because he is such a down to earth friendly person to work with. He was very helpful, he took the time to show us around the house and explained each section thoroughly. His report was easy to read and came with pictures so I know exactly where to locate the problem. There was a mix up with the report which was resolved and he was willing to pay me back half of what I paid. Pleasant experience for a beginner like me who needed Inspection. read more

I just talk to this guy he is so helpful he answer all of my questions and guid me and my dad with a problem we have with our neighbor he explained to us step by step what can we do about the situation he is a really good guy thank you so much for your advice read more

Jeff was so easy to work with. He was able to make an inspection happen fast and last minute. He really knows his stuff. His fee is very reasonable. He answers the phone and emails very promptly. read more

If you need a home inspection and want the best customer service in the business choose this company. We had to reschedule due to various personal and completion issues several times and Jeff was the completely professional, friendly and understanding. He was extremely competent and through and definitely knew what he was talking about in comparison to our previous inspectors who could not even find the carbon monoxide detector in our house. There are other companies out there that can do it tomorrow but if you have to wait a day or two for this company it is more than worth it if you are a home seller or home buyer. Highly recommended. read more

Jeff is a true professional and the price is the best that I could find. I would highly recommend him to a friend.

I'm a real estate agent and needed a inspection done right away on short notice. Jeff was not only able to help in a short amount of time, but he was very thorough and detailed. My clients were happy with his report. Thanks for your help again, Jeff! read more

Jeff was an amazing home inspector for our new home purchase. As we waived our home inspection contingency before the purchase of the home, we wanted to get some one in to make sure everything is well after the purchase. First off, Jeff was very flexible with the time. Both me and my wife had to work at 9am so Jeff was able to schedule a 7am inspection with us and he was very on time (in fact, he was early). He inspected the roof, all the exteriors, the interiors, the attic, and even crawled under the house (which was not exactly clean), but Jeff was very professional and gave us a very detailed review. He also gave us a lot of recommendations of what to use/purchase to solve certain issues (molds, hornets nests, etc). On the price side, Jeff gave us a very reasonable price, much cheaper than the other companies listed on Yelp. He also gave us 2 options, one where he writes a report (usually used for home closing) and two where he doesn't write a report (which is cheaper). We chose the non-report as we just wanted someone to check our house for a peace of mind. He further gave us a discount at the time of payment, which we were really appreciative of as we just spent a large sum of cash to purchase the house. All in all, i am very happy to have found Jeff to inspect my house and if any one ever need a house inspection, i will 100% recommend Jeff for the inspection. read more

Jeff and Inspect Net are absolutely wonderful! As a first time homeowner, I was completely in the dark, but Jeff made sure to make my first home inspection both painless and easy! He was thorough, patient, and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! After everything he provided we made sure to purchase the home! Thanks Jeff! read more

I haven't worked with many inspectors but Jeff is great. Had a 1 year warranty coming up on our new build home and Jeff it a thorough inspection of the house to bring attention to anything our civilian eyes could have missed. Took the time out to explain what he was doing and the importance of it as well as answer any questions we had whether they were concerns or just ease or minds. Recommended him to a few friends and co workers, would definitely use his services again should we need them in the future read more

Very satisfied with Inspect Net! Jeff is great. He is professional. For a first time Home buyer who are unfamiliar with home foundation...and all the home safety requirement, We appreciated that Jeff took the time to explain everything to us. He welcomed questions and answered them truthfully. We really felt he was giving us information that made us feel safe in buying the house. read more

Jeff was amazing! He was able to accommodate my tight schedule with no problem and was very thorough and thoughtful about his inspection process. He made me feel at ease, answering all my questions with incredible expertise. My agents were very impressed by him, so much so that they added him to their list of preferred inspectors for their future clients to use. Thank you! read more

Jeff is a great person, because of the schedule, I didn't hire him as my inspector, but he answered my questions professionally and patiently. He acts very experienced and knowledgeable. Will recommend him to friends. read more

Stop ... your yelp search!!! The best home inspector ever! I've been using Jeff Bond since I got into this business in 1999 with 12 to 20 buyer inspections per year. His care & concern for his clients is top notch. He loves homes & how they mechanically get put together. He has a great eye for issues, potential problems & improvements that could help my clients life be easier in the future. Honesty & Integrity should both be his middle name. Then my clients keep coming back as repeat customers and they ask are we going to use Jeff... yes we are. They love him like I do. read more

Working with Jeff was a really good experience. As he was examining the house, he explained what he saw during the inspection and how it contributed to some of the problems we were having and some possible solutions. It was the first time we were able to see how everything tied in together. We really appreciated his patience and explanation in terms we could understand. He didn't rush through - it felt like we were a priority and not just another appointment. read more

i have to start saying Jeff is a professional awesome guy. he inspected a mobile home that im trying to get, and he did his job over any expectations. Not only he did his job, but he took the time to explained to me what could i do to improve safety on the place. i talked to him about plans that i had for the future. And he took his time to listen and even give me advises that helped me a lot. he was a little late, but he took the time to call me to said he was stuck on traffic which was totally understandable. he noticed some modification on the mobile home and he explained them to me and tell me if they were good or bad at the end of the day i was very satisfied and so happy that i choose him as the inspector and not someone else. hope you read this Jeff very nice job. read more

I had Jeff come by my home initially to do the inspection and he was prompt and polite, very personable. He kept in contact with me over the holidays (a busy time for all involved) and was willing to answer all of my questions and just wanted to check to see how I was doing with my repairs. When we set up another meeting to have him do the repairs, Jeff kept me posted on his status and if he was going to be late; he always wanted to make sure I understood where he was and where I stood with him. The repairs were done quickly and very efficiently. I'm very happy with Jeff and Inspect.Net and I have no reservations about recommending him to others. Thanks, Jeff! :) read more

As a Realtor dealing in the sale of Mobile Homes I can highly recommend Inspect.Net. I am working with Jeff Bond for quite a while and my clients and I are very happy with his services. He is very friendly, always answers and explains the clients questions and he always helps them understand the situation and reports. I am working with Jeff Bond at Inspect.Net and I will be working with him in the future. read more

I liked his service and recommend to others. Very professional and got everything that we need in our home inspection before first year warranty from builder ended. read more

Jeff is amazing. In April of 2016, he inspected an old Craftsman property for me in the Fairview neighborhood of Hayward that I was purchasing. He took several hours to identify all potential issues with the house that could become worse if good practices were not implemented. Extremely honest and thorough, I would strongly advise contacting him for any inspection needs. Follow up Edit: After purchasing this property in June of 2016, I had a few more questions and Jeff stopped by for an hour to answer them and in addition offered suggestions on cosmetic work I plan to do. From my experience, Jeff is always looking out for his clients from start to finish. read more
