Ian has done several very thorough inspections for my sellers, both in single family homes and a fully occupied 4 plex. He is very courteous and professional with tenants, respectful of their personal space and listens well. Hi communication skills are clear, and pin point areas needing improvements with possible solutions. He is very easy to work with, I have been in real estate for 34 years, I highly recommend him. read more

Thanks Ian! read more

He's reliable, prompt and he's open to answering any and all questions anyone has after the inspection report has been sent! I've used Ian several times for my clients home inspections and they're always so pleased with working with him...as am I! read more

Inspector Ian did a great job for my family. I hired to inspect a house my son was preparing to buy. Ian was on time, and spent several hours carefully going over the house. He encouraged us to follow him and thoroughly explained what he saw. When his inspection was complete he met with us and explained what he saw and strategies for dealing with various findings. He did the inspection on Thursday and we had his comprehensive report by Monday morning. The report was clearly laid out, with pictures and recommendations to resolve problems.

Inspector Ian recently inspected a large home for my experienced buyer clients in Hercules. We found Ian on Yelp but I had already been hearing wonderful things about him for years through my realtor grapevine. (I'm a realtor.) It was extremity easy to connect with Ian and schedule the home inspection to happen within a matter of days. Ian was prompt, professional, incredibly thorough and described his findings and recommendations in layman's terms to my clients. He also had a great sense of humor and was very reasonably priced. I will definitely recommend Ian again to my clients and colleagues. I'm happy we found him! read more

We recently bought a home in the Bay Area and wanted to do our own inspection to supplement the seller's provided inspection report. Because of the state of the market being what it is, timeliness was critical and Ian was super responsive and the inspection was scheduled very promptly. Ian's inspection was not only thorough (taking around 2 hours for a 2,000 square foot home), but he was also absolutely great at allowing us to shadow him during the walkthrough and talking us through his findings and remarks. From the crawlspace through the roof, he did an excellent job at doing what we really wanted: driving us through a detailed look at everything we needed to know to get familiar with our future home. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Ian's services to any prospective home buyer who wants to get serious about the property they're contemplating. read more
