I have moved many times in my life, so I've had plenty of experience with inspectors. I have never seen an inspector be so thorough and so careful. Scott McMillin saved us from purchasing a home that would have had over $50K of repairs to get it up to code. He spent 3-4 hours looking at everything. He wrote a 61 page inspection report and told us that we could call him anytime if we had any questions. He was actually serious about that. I wholeheartedly recommend him. It will save you a lot of money in the end. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Inspect OC. Joshua was super thorough, professional and kind. He paid very great attention to detail, making sure to not rush things and to take a close look at everything inside and outside of the house. We were super impressed by his thorough report that showcased all potential issues with clear pictures and descriptions. He was also kind enough to walk us through some of the larger issues and answer all of our questions. He is without a doubt a very experienced professional that knows what he is doing. 10/10 experience and service, highly recommend Inspect OC. read more

We had a great experience with Inspect OC. Scott was thorough, friendly, and responsive.

Scott is the ultimate professional! A few months ago we had some questions about several issues with a pipe leak and HVAC, and called Steve for a home inspection. Although he could not come over for a home inspection because this was outside his area of expertise, Scott took the time to answer our questions, give us information regarding the issues we were having, and advise on what to do next. It is great to know that such high quality professionals are still around! Would recommend Steve to anyone looking for an honest, experienced, and highly professional home inspector! read more

Scott did an incredible, thorough job for our home inspection. He answered all of our questions throughout the inspection which was very appreciated as first time homebuyers. We'd absolutely use Inspect OC again! read more

I highly recommend Scott and Inspect OC for your home inspections. As a long time Realtor, I know my clients value my opinion, and trust my resources. They rely upon me to use and recommend contractors and companies who are of the highest integrity and professionalism, AND people who show up on time! I know if there is anything wrong with the house, Scott will find it. Don't skimp on home inspections when buying a home. It will cost you in the end. read more

I had Scott inspect two different homes and both experiences were smooth. He is detail-oriented, which I love. He is also practical and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend him for any inspection needs you may have. read more

Scott did a phenomenal job. He was thorough, clear, and knowledgeable, answered all of my (many!) questions, and was great to work with.

We went with Inspect OC for our home inspection. Our inspector was Scott McMillin. First and foremost he arrived to the house on time and was super friendly. He took his time to make sure nothing was missed. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in explaining his findings. He also made himself available for us afterwards and answered questions we had in the report. Highly recommend Inspect OC and Scott McMillin! Thanks Scott! read more

Scott was great. Very personable and took time to explain things to me. He was thorough and knowledgeable and I would recommend you work with him for your inspection. read more

We had a great experience using Scott as our home inspector. He took his time, was extremely thorough, super knowledgeable and yet was able to walk us through all the issues in a way that was easy to understand. He found issues from big to tiny and we are so grateful. He encouraged us to reach out anytime in the future with questions or concerns and was an all around lovely guy. I would recommend Inspect OC to any potential homebuyers. read more

They are very reliable and professional. I am glad to have them! It took them over 4 hours to finish the house with a size of almost 10k sf.

Appreciate their attention to detail on my report. The inspector had a tool bag on while checking everything, that's how you know he is a serious tradesmen. read more

Excellent service, Scott was professional and knowledgeable, he went above and beyond making sure we understood every aspect of the inspection report. 5 star service. read more

Forgive me for my dry spell in reviews, fellow Yelpers...I assure you I have a perfectly reasonable explanation and it begins here: Inspect OC. After some assinine landlord drama at the end of August (don't even friggin ask -- apparently my "vicious" dog has miraculously gone 7 years without biting someone) #doggiescapegoat :( Brandon and I threw up our hands in exasperation and decided perhaps it was time to prequalify for a mortgage and be done with the rental market once and for all. So we started poking around on Redfin (if you're hunting for real estate, this is an awesome resource) and drove around on Labor Day scouting out locations. IT. HAPPENED. SO. FAST. Within a week we stumbled upon a condo in Huntington Beach and after viewing it a second time, we put in an offer. And our offer was accepted -- against a full-asking, all cash investor offer. WHA?! The big guy upstairs was definitely looking out for us, I swear. Mind blown. (Tip: Write a letter to your seller and include a couple cute pictures of yourselves and your vicious dog with your offer) Enter Inspect OC. Scott was spectacular and thorough with our home inspection. He was kind and patient with first time buyers and I truly appreciate the extra care given. He explained EVERYTHING to us along the way and procured a detailed report the same day. Report in hand, I was able to request a few minor fixes and disclosures from the seller that were accepted. I would recommend Inspect OC to anyone. We're still in escrow, but things are moving in a promising direction! That's more than I can say for my current landlord. Your review is already written in my head, sweetheart. I'm just gonna Yelp you from the couch in my new home. #byefelicia read more

Scott was great to work with. He was very thorough with his inspection and explained to us in detail his findings. Very professional and pleasant interaction! I'd use him again and have no hesitation recommending him. read more

We recently had a home we are purchasing inspected by Scott M. This is the our fourth home purchase and by far the best experience in terms of home inspection. Scott was very thorough. Even brought our attention to little things. He was on time, thorough and very helpful when explaining things to us. I highly recommend. read more

Full disclosure: I'm Scott's niece and a first time home buyer, but we wouldn't have considered having anyone else do our inspection. He's detailed, thorough, trustworthy, and he was very good about taking complex problems with the home and explaining them so that they weren't so overwhelming. read more

Scott was very professional and did an excellent job. He explained things clearly. I would highly recommend.

Great experience with Scott McMillin. I was referred to Scott by a family member to do a home purchase inspection and was blown away by the attention to detail and professionalism from Scott. He is very friendly and knowledgable. He took his time and was very thorough; even my real estate agent was blown away by Scott. Highly recommended. Thank you Scott. read more

Scott is the BEST. They just don't come any better. I'm a Realtor and have used Scott's services for many users each time I represent the Buyer on their new home purchase. He arrives on time, is professional and extremely thorough. He's also big on education, which my clients truly I appreciate. But just last week, I hired Scott to inspect a home that I personally was purchasing and he did a great job - he even smelled gas, and as a result, the Gas Company found a gas leak. I have nothing but great things to say about Scott. Don't think twice - just make the call. He won't dissapoint. read more

Thank you Scott a recently remold house had a moving toilet not working a/c dishwasher spitting out water tub with mildew painted over one tub refineshed or say painted glazed shower heads sticking out on and on My realtor not sure if she was working for me or the owner thought I should buy it this awful fixer upper and the the termite many around I'm sure One good way to loose a good customer read more

Okay, so you've had your say, Scott. If you'd only had this measure of concern when you were first contacted by telephone 2 years ago, this could have gone a lot differently. My husband called you soon after we moved in to discuss about the missed issues you didn't want to hear it then and you basically told him, "sorry about your luck, buddy" and said there is no recourse for missed issues. You are allowed, even expected to screw up. Good for you, you succeeded! YOU could've handled this by speaking to us like a decent professional 2 years ago. We also reported your failures to our realtors. They are well aware. Much of the electricity did not work, the furnace ducts were not functioning; the dryer duct was completely disconnected; there was a hole in the stucco, etc, etc. Why are you interested NOW????? You sure didn't care before this yelp review. Get your niece to write another nice review. read more

I have used this company 5 times and they have been great each time. Very thorough and professional I use Scott exclusively! Highly recommend him. read more

Scott & Scott are AMAZING! I'm a realtor and they have been my #1 referral for all my clients for years. They are honest, thorough, and take the extra time to really explain the findings. They also make themselves readily available if you have questions as you are going through the report later! I even hired them when I bought my first house! Can't say enough great things about them! read more

Scott inspected a new build home for us. We're very happy with the report he wrote, the details he gave us and his professionalism.

Scott did a great job of not only inspecting the house, but educating me on what he was looking for, wary of, and not concerned about. Overall, he did a thorough job and is worthy of recommendation. Plus, he was friendly, clean, professional, had all the equipment he needed with him, and didn't smell like a plumber. read more

I highly recommend Scott and Inspect OC. I needed an inspection right away as we had a short contingency and he was able to work us into his schedule the same week! He is also incredibly thorough and a true professional. He also returned our report right away to help with our time frame. Definitely call Scott for your inspection needs! read more

Scott is my "go-to" home inspector. He is very thorough and has excellent ability to communicate with my buyer clients regarding their prospective home. read more

Scott is the ultimate professional. He knows his stuff, puts out an excellent report and is available to answer any questions/give recommendations. I will definitely use him again. read more

Scott is awesome. Detailed knowledge about homes and the nuances of homes in Mission Viejo. Personable, insightful, professional, all boxes checked. Very highly recommend him. read more

Scott is wonderfully professional. Knowledgeable, thorough, a joy to work with. His report was beautifully organized and complete. This is the guy you want inspecting your house. read more

I've used Scott twice since he is so thorough and professional. He literally inspects the property from top to bottom and will review the entire report with you. If you ever have any questions, he will always answer or follow up to your call or email. He'll explain every detail to you in simple terms and let you know what the big items are and run down the list to the smallest detail like a missing guide on a rolling closet door. For a buyer, this gives you more leverage during the negotiation and an idea of what might become a large or small issue down the road and how far down the road. I've had my fair share of dealings with real estate related "professionals" and wouldn't recommend most to anyone. But if you are looking for a top notch home inspector, call Scott. I'll use him again for all of my inspection needs and will recommend him to anyone I know. read more

Every person I interacted with at Inspect OC were all helpful. The entire process went very smoothly from beginning to end. Scott McMillin was thorough in every aspect of the inspection, answered every question I had, and was just pleasant to speak to. He used up his entire amount of time to inspect everything in the house and generated an incredibly thorough report that I received very quickly afterwards. He also didn't mind giving advice to me, being a new home owner. read more

I used InspectOC for the inspection of my condo for purchase. I am a first time homebuyer and I can say that I was very happy with the service they provided. I had used a different company before for an inspection of a different condo since they were less expensive. I regretted doing so as they were late on delivering the report and the quality of their work was cheap. Scott Swickard was very detail oriented and he took the time to explain everything to me in detail. The report was sent to me evening of the same day and was comprehensive and made me feel comfortable in making decisions and repair requests. Scott was also very responsive and got back to me when I needed a better understanding of a section in the report. I will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Very efficient, on time at the site, fast delivery of report, personable Knows what he is doing. Explains his concerns. Great office team. read more

Called up in a bind. My inspector cancelled less than 24 hours before my inspection on a holiday weekend. I was able to get an inspection scheduled at a reasonable price for the same time slot in 5 minutes! A+++ on customer service...well done read more

We recently had Scott perform our inspection prior to us purchasing our new house. We were extremely excited about entering our new property; however, after we received our keys and turned on our water and used the upstairs toilet, water came dripping from a lighting fixture into the living room. When I called the home warranty company and their plumber came out, he indicated that this was a preexisting condition based on the water damage seen within the lighting fixture/can; therefore, it was not covered by the home warranty company. When we asked Scott about it, he said he did not see any signs of water damage. Here is what's more disturbing...this same plumber showed me a water leak/drip inside our laundry cabinet which Scott failed to mention to us both during our inspection or in his report. What's crazy....this same leak was explained to us by a contractor who replaced the laundry cabinet a week prior. Note: when I turned the water on, all the faucets outside and inside of the house, including the one to the laundry sink were running so Scott should have been able to see the water leak/drip inside the laundry cabinet. From our perspective, these issues were not coincidental and them not being reported, especially the one regarding the water leak/drip inside the laundry cabinet, are frustrating and unacceptable. When we asked him about these issues, he didn't convey any sympathy nor did he take any responsibility. He basically told us...I will stand behind the inspection report and findings. Honestly, don't use this guy if you want to receive a thorough inspection!!! read more

Scott was patient. Scott was professional. Scott was extremely knowledgeable and took extra time to explain things to me in a way I could understand. He was extremely thorough and gave me a lot of information that I could use to assess my first home purchase. His report was timely and comprehensive. I highly recommend this company for your home inspection needs. read more

Scott was awesome in doing our home inspection. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough throughout the process. He answered all our questions as well as educating us on the homes nuances. His follow up was exceptional. We would highly recommend Scott. read more
