We hired this inspection company for our new house in Apple Valley. We had to change the date and…read moretime several times (due to the sellers), but Dale was always very understanding and accommodating. When the inspection date arrived, he was 10-15 mins early and was busy the whole time. He was incredibly thorough and spent over 2 hours inspecting. After it was over, he went through everything he found on the exterior and interior and gave us a few helpful tips since we were 1st time homeowners and new to the high desert area. Dale explained everything in an easy to understand way and was very nice and professional. He sent us a very clear and detailed inspection report the same afternoon with pics of everything.In addition to this he was about $150 cheaper than the other inspector someone recommended. We chose him based on his reviews but the price was a very nice bonus. We will always use Dale in the future and highly recommend him! Best service, availability, AND price...its a no brainer.:)

The inspector arrived on time, was extremely professional, and took the time to check every part of the property roof, attic, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, crawlspace, everything. The report was delivered the same day and it was way more detailed than I expected. Tons of clear photos, explanations in plain English, and severity ratings so I could understand what needed attention right away and what wasn't urgent. You can tell they really care about their work and about helping homeowners understand the condition of their property. Great service, great value, and definitely someone I trust. Highly recommend them to anyone needing a home inspection in the High Desert.

I hired HouseMaster for a full home inspection at 16485 Wintun Rd in Apple Valley, including a sewer camera scope. Before the inspection, I specifically raised concerns about possible root intrusion due to the age of the home and surrounding trees. David responded in writing that he could "check the sewer lines via camera to prevent very costly repairs due to cracks and root issues," and positioned this as a cost-saving alternative to hiring a plumber. I relied on that representation. After closing, we discovered root intrusion in the plumbing connected to the downstairs bathroom. David's response was that he only inspects the main line. That is not how the service was presented. If a service is sold as protection against costly root issues, a reasonable buyer expects it to identify meaningful root-related problems, or at minimum to clearly warn that the areas most likely to contain root intrusion are excluded. That did not happen. More concerning is the inspection report's treatment of the railings. The report identifies only two loose rear patio railings and one front stair railing. In reality, approximately ten railings throughout the property, plus the exterior gate, were pulling away from the stucco. This includes the long front entry railing, all upstairs patio railings, and multiple rear railings. Several appeared to have been previously held in place with silicone caulk instead of proper anchors. This is not a minor oversight. It is a widespread, visible safety hazard involving elevated areas and fall risk. These conditions were not hidden. They were plainly observable. Reducing a systemic failure of this scale to a couple of isolated items is a material understatement of the property's condition. To be clear, I am not expecting perfection or that every minor issue be identified. I am expecting that visible, safety-critical defects be accurately reported and that services sold as protection against major risks are described honestly. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. If you are relying on an inspection to make a purchasing decision, especially for an older home, you should strongly consider obtaining independent specialists rather than relying on bundled services that may not be as comprehensive as they are presented.
