John is amazing! EXTREMELY knowledgeable, quick, adaptable, and fun to chat with! Came out to do an inspection, particular for a house on a hill with some cracks being exposed over time by possible movement. Was easily able to analyze and diagnose the problem, but still checked around the full outside of the house to guarantee accuracy and assure no other obvious issues. Brilliant! read more

I've use Robinson's inspections a few times with various clients. Each has been very satisfied. This is definitely my go to inspector!

John was fantastic to work with. He was able to schedule my mold inspection the same week, and from start to finish he was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He took the time to explain everything, answered all of my questions, and went above and beyond throughout the inspection. If you're looking for someone honest, reliable, and detail-oriented, John is the person you want inspecting your home. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and his service was worth every penny. I highly recommend booking your inspection with him. read more

John did an outstanding job on our home inspection in Chula Vista. Thorough, on time, and patient with every question. He explained findings clearly with zero scare tactics. Highly recommend for any San Diego buyer! read more

Above and beyond customer service! We have used John Robinson's Inspection Group for a couple of our home inspections. Scheduling appointment online is fast and easy. After scheduling online customer service outreach is fast & personalized. The inspector reaches out to you and speaks to you in a professional manner, but a personal, makes you feel like family . We requested Randall Ahmann for both of our home inspections. He is top notch, explains everything in detail; goes above and beyond so that when I do get the detailed report and pictures, I clearly understand as he has gone through everything face-to-face and then if questions I can still reach out to him. I highly recommend John Robinson's inspection group for your home inspection. read more

John was awesome. He did a very professional job and the report is very detailed. It allows me to now fix what I need prior to putting the home on the market! Definitely recommend John and he is very responsive to messages and answers any questions you may have during and after the process. read more

I was a first time buyer. I am now five years in and have found multiple items that were not caught and have cost me thousands to repair. I won't get started on the dishonest flippers who assembled my money pit but things that should have been caught during the inspection were missed. A floating electrical outlet under a sink? Multiple fire hazards throughout wiring? An attic full of trash, dead animals and bad insulation? I definitely recommend finding a more qualified inspector in the future to save yourself money over the long run. read more

I'm very impressed with the service I received from John Robinson's Inspection Group. My husband and I just bought our first home (new build), and we knew how important it was to hire a private inspector to find any issues. We arranged with this company to send an inspector during our final walk-through. Our inspector was Randall (Randy) Ahmann. He was really great, professional, and explained exactly what the scope of his inspection would be and what he would be doing. My husband and I had to leave, and Randy took the time to go over the major issues that he had found thus far in his inspection. He turned around the full report in 2 hours! I was so impressed with how fast we got the report. This was so important to us because we needed to communicate any major issues to our builder ASAP before closing escrow. When scheduling, they will send an example report so you know what to expect. It's in an interactive interface that's easy to navigate, and it's also exportable to PDF. The report also clearly explains whether an item is within the scope of inspection, and it has recommendations for how to proceed with any glaring issues. Huge thank you to Randy and to John Robinson's Inspection Group for giving us peace of mind! read more

I've bought a lot of property in my days across the country and this is by far the best home inspector I've used. Very thorough, competent, clearly knows exactly what he's doing and what he's looking for that is important. And John is also a nice guy that's easy to talk to. The entire company is efficient and a pleasure to do business with. Will hire again for next project. read more

After leveraging Yelp to generate quotes from various inspectors, I landed on John Robinson's. They were very responsive and came back with a competitive price. The scheduling and contracting was a breeze with flexible options. The inspection was conducted by the lead inspector along with a trainee. I reached out to the General manager, Kim, to gather more information and education about the whole process after the inspection. Kim was extremely professional, listened attentively and resolved all my questions and concerns. Moving is always tough and I hope to not need an inspection anytime soon, but if I do, I'll contact John Robinson's Inspection for my next job. Well done gents. read more

When getting a home inspection, the details come flying. The 5 stars are because the best part of the service was having a face to face meeting after the inspection. This put all the important details in context -- Telling us the age-appropriate and location-appropriate things about the home were invaluable to an out of towner like me. Our inspector Randy took his time, and the detailed work is very impressive. I had some questions about vents, and they were answered thoroughly. I'd use them again in an instant. read more

Randy was punctual, professional and polite. What more could you ask for when going through one of the more stressful parts of the homebuying process? Our offer was accepted, and we entered escrow late on a Friday afternoon. Our realtor was able to schedule an inspection with John Robinson's Group for the following Monday at 9 am. We chose to be onsite for the entirety of the inspection - partly because we always want to hear the initial report first-hand, but mostly because we *really* wanted to a chance to visit the property we'd fallen in love with the weekend before. I actually had to work that morning, so I tried to keep my little workspace in a contained area, while also staying out of Randy's way. My husband was able to take measurements, walk the space with our realtor and ask Randy some of our random questions as the morning rolled on. Randy was thorough and efficient, taking his time to inspect all the things within the home, crawl space and garage. As I mentioned, he answered the questions we were flinging at the realtors (listing agent was also on-hand) and each other and stopped to address the questions we had specific to the inspection and the property. We both really appreciated his detailed explanations during the walk-through, where he pointed out some of the "quirky" things he found in our soon-to-be-new-home and laid out his suggestions on the few small things that might need to be addressed. Great news is, he didn't find anything moldy, bite-y or sting-y - nothing to cause alarm or panic! His final written inspection report was delivered a few hours after he left, complete with his photos and even more detailed information on his findings. We'd definitely recommend this group to anyone looking for home inspectors that are competent, friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. I'd say we'd use them again, but we hope to be in this house for many years to come. read more

Excellent customer service. The process was so easy, fast and very professional. I did the mold inspection testing and my technician was very helpful and answered all my questions. read more

We loved the online form to book the appointment. The communication was clear from the beginning. The inspector assigned to us was Randall Ahmann, and he was punctual, thorough, professional, diligent, helpful, and friendly. He delivered a very thorough report the same day as we mentioned we need it ASAP so the builder could take care of items that needed corrective action, so they would not impede the closing. We highly recommend this company. read more

Randall is our inspector and he did a very thorough inspection in the property. He explained very well all area's of concern and gave great recommendations. The report is well put together, easy to understand, and very detailed. We highly recommend this company for their professionalism and expertise! read more

Setting the appointment was easy as it was all done online and even showed me days and times of availability. The company responded back with confirmation and the direct email to the inspector, Randall, which I appreciated in case I had any questions before the inspection. Flexible and great customer service. On the day of my inspection for new construction, the builder acted like I did not advise them I had brought my own home inspector and made a big deal about it. Randall was totally understanding and patient, and he even went to the sales office to complete paperwork so the inspection could go through. I was worried this time delay would result in an extra charge, but Randall did not hesitate and got to the inspection as soon as that mess was cleared up. Auto-pilot inspection. Randall ran around and did his thing. He took the payment right there but also had an online payment option if I needed it. I immediately got back the invoice. I got the report right after the inspection. It was super detailed, had lots of pictures, and contained simple explanations of what they found. It was helpful for the report to categorize their findings so I knew what was an immediate concern and what was a minor issue that may not be necessary to address. I would use this company again and recommend it to anyone else looking for a home inspection. read more

I owe these people so much!! Saved me a huge headache and lots of money! It was my second inspection on a property that I was close to buying. Within one hour, these inspectors , Randy specifically , found a HUGE leak from the plumbing by running the showers in all the bathrooms. There was water pouring into the garage below and ended up coming through the living room wall!! If it hadn't been for this inspection, I would have never found this out! Good reviews on yelp can mean so many things, I've heard businesses can even pay to get rid of bad reviews, so you never know what to trust, but these people are the real deal. Phew, what a sigh of relief for finding them. I'll be naming my firstborn John or Randy, thanks. read more

Randy the Inspector was very thorough and pointed out some concerning and general safety items on a recent inspection for a new build. We were able to get the items remediated thanks to his checking. I tried to follow up with Randy to get some of my remaining questions answered, by contacting the company (phone) and the founder (email) who forwarded my request. However, I never got any call backs. read more

Really appreciate John being kind, cool and collected during our inspection. Would definitely work with them again.

Very professional and knowledgeable which is exactly what you want when you're purchasing a home. John and his team has created a system and it works very well. John's inspections and reports are a peace of mind. He is also very clear on his recommendations. Ultimately, with our recent escrow, he pointed out a major show stopper for us! read more

We recently discovered there was mold in our home, specifically our children's room. When I called John Robinson's I appreciated their understanding and sense of urgency to have someone come out to test the air quality. Mark was our inspector and he was amazing. Very kind man and he walked us through what he would be doing and explained next steps. So happy I landed on John Robinson's and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you team! read more

Randall Ahmall was super professional and he arrived right on time. He performed the inspection in a timely and thoroughly manner. Patiently explained all the details of his findings. I would definitely recommend This company and Randall! read more

A wonderful experience working with this home inspection company. Setting the appointment was easy as could be, the pricing is more than fair and the thorough inspection (accompanied with an explanatory walk through) we're all better than could be expected. Mark showed up exactly on time, was friendly and professional, brought all the tools he needed (yes, I've had inspectors ask to use ladders etc before), and kept everything perfectly clean. Usually inspectors leave dirty handprints on white paint, not Mark. He was impeccable. At the end of the inspection he said the report would be ready by that evening. Not only was he correct, the report was emailed within an hour! I've been through more home inspections than I can remember and this one certainly stood out. I'm more than happy to recommend this company. read more

Ask for Adrian. The end. Just kidding. But, Adrian was an amazing inspector who brought peace of mind and comfort to all. He was thorough, courteous, and detailed. To both parties which I thought was remarkable. Family members are buying a home and we found John Robinson via Yelp. It was easy to communicate with them and schedule an appointment that worked well for everyone. Adrian was on time and unintrusive. He didn't make a scene, was clean/neat (he even wore booties when he was inside), and was so polite. He sensed that feelings are often involved in these transactions and was incredibly mindful of that. Often time I cringed when I heard others' questions about whatever to him. But he wouldn't even wince - he'd just nod and answer as gracefully as he could. Then pull me aside to give me a more thorough assessment. He goes over his findings via his computer when he's done. Then a report is emailed out to you in PDF form. You can pay online (and also get a yelp discount) so that was helpful. I'd only wish they could send out a hard copy of the report to the customer as 90+ pages can be a lot to print on a home computer. Otherwise, we'd absolutely use this company again (particularly Adrian). read more

John did the inspection for our duplex in San Diego. His professionalism was unparalleled and he gave such great detailed information about the property and made clear suggestions for repair needs.

So far, so wonderful. And it's not JUST the service... I'm a real estate agent and so far my clients have loved working with the professionals from John Robinson's Inspection Group because they are prompt, professional, personable and thorough. I've liked working with them because, well, obviously, they make my clients feel taken care of, it's VERY easy to schedule appointments online (and even pick your tech), the reports are easy to read and thorough, AND this one is one that not everyone might know: Their tech's seem to like working for John! They speak VERY highly of him and his business and OTHER professionals speak highly of John! So far everyone's told me the same thing: He looks like Darius Rucker, he treats his team well, and to look him up on social media because his life looks awesome. So happy to have them in my circle. Ps - I think their branded sweatshirts are awesome too. Where can I get one, John?! read more

We were on the market for a new home and used the J Robinson Inspection group for the inspection of a home. Our inspector was Natasha. This was during the Corona virus period (2020). She came with a full mask and gloves (wow hard work). She did a fantastic job at the inspection of the home. Very informative and professional. Within 24 hours we had our final report which was very informative about must-fix, think about and maybe considerations for the home. Well documentation and a great set of recommendation. Wow fantastic service. read more

I received a very thorough home inspection from this organization. I would highly recommend this service. Thank you!

Scott recently inspected a condo for me and did an excellent job communicating everything over our conference call since I could not be there in person. He was able to describe everything in detail so I could understand. He provided a lengthy and detailed report afterwards, that included photos as well as suggestions and the priority of things that needed fixing. I absolutely recommend John Robinson's Inspection Group's Services and will use them again in the future if a need arises. read more

Had my home inspection done by Randall to make sure everything was good before bring home a new baby. He took his time inspecting and went over everything before leaving for the day. I would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection. read more

For our inspection we had Wyatt. This Wyatt was better than Wyatt Earp. He spent hours on our potential home and went through every nook and cranny. Most importantly he was personable and educated us on the flaws of the home and gave us a run down. It was almost like a 101 class. It was getting dark and he didn't leave until he felt he gave 100%. The inspection report came back from the company and was comprehensive, easy to read, etc. I will be recommending this company to others. Props to Wyatt! read more

Quick response time, extremely professional, conducted a well done job despite the weather conditions, and returned a thorough report. The final report was informative, included every detail, and the inspector took their time in getting the job done. read more

I am too late to regret for selecting them. After we bought this house, we found the visible water leakage and mold in the kitchen after moving in. (they just did the home inspection two weeks ago) The floor damage and mold is never found by them. They gave me a "professional" report- tell me what is the temperature of the air conditioner and so on( I don't care) but never speed any time on the serious and important problem. Now they said they don't have any responsibility and we should find the mold company to detect this house before we bought it. I have the allergy of mold and I have told them several times. Please check the water leakage or visible mold sign carefully. Now I am in the hospital and I am so regret to select them. They still think they don't have any responsibility read more

We recently used John Robinson for our new home inspection. They did a great job! Mark came out and did a very detailed review of the house. He found a few things that we didn't see and explained everything in great detail. I was very happy with their report and the service! read more

We put an offer in on a home and were able to book an inspection for two days later. Wyatt arrived right on time, explained what he planned to do, and was incredibly thorough and patient in answering our many questions. He found a tiny bubble in the ceiling and was able to determine that the area was wet -- a sure sign of a leak from the roof above. At the end of his inspection, Wyatt went over his major findings with us and gave us the names of reliable contractors who could do a more detailed inspection on the foundation issues he observed. After reviewing the final report, we realized that the home had numerous other issues and decided not to move forward with the purchase. We appreciate how careful and detailed the inspection and report were and would recommend JRIG - and Wyatt - without reservation. Thanks, Wyatt and team! read more

Randall was my professional inspector and he was absolutely amazing. Very professional because he was punctual and prepared for the inspection with packed experience. I am a rookie when it comes to house inspections but he was so patient and kind to explain and dumb things down for me :) Wonderful experience! read more

Call John Robinson's and they had someone out right away to inspect our new home. Scott showed up early and got in touch with my agent to start the process earlier which was great. He was very thorough and went through every inch of the house. He asked me for my concerns so he could spend extra time reviewing those areas and then educated me on the true severity of the issues. The report came back by the next morning and was very detailed with pictures and next steps. Would highly recommend Scott and John Robinson's to inspect your home. read more

I've not had a home inspection done in years. I thought I'd have to wait a few days to get the report. Wrong! They gave me the report as they finished their inspection. It was almost real time. Wow! So cool. read more

The weekend of August 11-13 my girlfriend and I went out of town to Dallas. Our house is in escrow to be purchased by a couple. They had this group do the inspection. When we returned Sunday night the power was off in the kitchen, and all the food in our fridge and freezer was bad - INCLUDING about $300 of kid-friendly probiotics for our son. We found the kitchen breaker off in the electrical panel. The only logical conclusion we could come up with is the inspector was inspecting the panel, flipped the breaker, and left it off, ruining all the food. We were not sure until we received the inspection report and it contained photos of the panel, first with the breaker on, then with the cover removed, and then with the breaker off. IN ORDER. We called John Robinson to report this, and try to get the money back for all of our ruined food and probiotics. This is all we want. Instead of taking ownership of the problem, which was documented in their own report here is the excuse they went with (get ready): A neighbor, or someone else, broke into our house after they were there, went straight to the laundry room, and switched off our kitchen breaker. The fact that it is switched to off in their own photos is merely a coincidence and we "must not be able to understand" how this could happen. read more
