NCIS just inspecting our home yesterday. I was greatly pleased by the inspector's thorough inspection and uncanny ability to dictate to us everything we needed to know and more. He was friendly, kind, and a straight shooter. His comprehensive knowledge and forthright attitude definitely put us at ease. I've heard home inspections can be a waning experience, but thanks to NCIS ours was nothing but pleasant. read more

Let me put it this way Aris saved me from buying a house with huge foundation problems. even though I really liked the house I am glad he found all the major flaws . thank you sharin read more

Just had my home inspection on 3/15/2014 and Aris Lopez was our inspector, he is detailed and explains you the process as you go. He likes to explain what it is your looking at and also will answer any questions you have. He makes you feel like your time is valuable and while he is inspecting that is all he will do. He's great!!!! Totally would recommend him read more

I have been a realtor for 10 years and Aris is what every buyer needs! He is an honest, thorough, patient, and helpful. He is there for the buyers to educate them about all the aspects of the home. He does not try to alarm buyers but empower them with education. He gives them solutions to problems that he may uncover. I also like the technology that this company uses like the infrared gun and the robot to transverse areas that humans cant get to. This gets the clients a complete picture of what the condition of their future home. The format of the report that is delivered is easy to read and complete. Aris is a ally with my clients through the entire life of their home ownership he helps them whenever they need it just a phone call away! read more

Drones, sensors, robotic rovers. No part of the inspection can fall to happenstance. Aris and his team are amazing. Aris himself is THE BEST home inspector on PLANET EARTH. Go ahead and test him! I do not lie. He saved me from making a big mistake by pointing out things that even so called "experienced" inspectors miss by a mile. I know, I've heard the complaints. Now I've made a much more solid choice and am happily in escrow. Accept NO substitutes. He can't make up your mind for you or tell you what choice to make, but rest assured you will have ALL the info to make a safe and smart choice for you and your family. read more

Aris definitely earns an A+ on a home inspection he helped me with. Everything was explained thoroughly and in a simplified manner. Anyone like myself who is not familiar with handy work would understand. He went over everything with detail and gave us plenty of suggestions on how to upgrade the home, once escrow was closed. We asked the seller to do a few repairs. Aris went back to re-inspect the repairs they were not completed correctly. Aris took the time to explain to the the seller how the repairs should be handled. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. read more

I would highly recommend NCSI for any and all of your home inspection services. Aris was recommended to me by a coworker who had recently used him to inspect a home she and her husband had purchased. She told me he was very thorough, and paid close attention to all the details. She was not lying. When the day of my inspection came, Aris showed up and walked me through everything that he was going to do, prior to doing it. Rather than waiting for the end of the inspection to drop all the information on me, he took the time at the end of each section of the house to walk me through his observations and gave me an indication of how serious he thought things were. At the end of the inspection I felt very comfortable that I had all the information that I needed to make an informed decision moving forward. Do not hesitate to contact Aris and have him inspect your home! read more

I just had Aris out for a home inspection yesterday and I was extremely pleased with him and his service. Aris is a very knowledgeable guy who knew exactly where to look and what to look for. I myself am a construction manager who does building remodels so I can tell right away if someone has knowledge and experience or doesn't. All I can say is Aris is the real deal. He gave it to me straight and to the point and made sure he covered every aspect of the house. Even the home owner and their broker were impressed by all the tools he used to inspect the house. The brokers asked for his cards because they wanted to use him in the future. I myself am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Aris answered any questions that I had and within 24 hours I had the full property inspection report in hand. I will definitely be using Aris again and recommend anyone looking for a quality inspector to give Aris a call. He was worth it! read more

Highly recommended. I will add Aris to my list of recommended inspectors. Very impressed with the way he communicated with my first-time buyers. He was clear, informative, pleasant and thorough. As an agent, I've worked with many inspectors. They vary greatly in price and thoroughness. Aris provides real value. When a client is spending half a million or more on a house, it makes sense for them to get the best inspection possible. We loved the use of the drone for overhead shots! I especially liked his report with references to the relevant code. My clients were very happy with his service! read more

Aris Lopez did the inspection today on the condo my husband and I are buying. He was so nice and explained everything he was going to do and walk us through his findings. He even let us see how his nifty inspection tools worked. He didn't sugar coat anything about the condition of our condo-to-be and offered to answer any questions that we may have later on in the future. Best experience to have Aris handle this process for us. read more

Aris did an amazing job. Great service, modern equipment and very friendly! He is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. Couldn't imagine that any home inspection could go better than this for the buyer. read more

Aris, it is extremely helpful; he is a professional and an excellent inspector. He gives good advice/ideas. I am amaze with the technology that he uses for the home inspection. He is very open to answer every question that as customers we may have. I was very impressed with his work. Aris has strong people and work ethic. Overall, he is awesome. I highly recommend Aris for any of your home inspection needs. Belinda read more

The best. Aris is totally honest and cares about his clients. We had him inspect 2 homes for us when we were looking for our first home. His information was clear and concise and he made us feel really great about going forward (or not going forward) with buying the house. We'll have him inspect every home we're thinking about buying in the future as well! read more

I was in the midst of a very tightly scheduled home purchase process amidst a very busy real estate market. So, I really appreciated that Aris was able to accommodate a last minute home inspection. Aris and Josh came and performed a very forensic inspection of the house using their high tech equipment. Their report was very thorough and detailed, but easy to understand. Upon completion of the inspection, I called Aris to get his feedback/input on the house. I appreciate that he was very honest and I felt that he was looking out for me. I highly recommend NCSI and would use them again. read more

Absolutely highly recommend this group of professionals. I give the NCSI team 10 stars but only 5 are available here. Why? Because this team know what they are doing. They know every angle of inspecting a building and know what to look for. I purchased a commercial/residential building in March and couldn't find anybody that would fit my busy schedule. Aris and his team fitted me in their busy schedule and as a good professional, was there before time. Extremely friendly but most important, very knowledgeable to the point that if you are there (which I recommend you do. You'll learn alot) he will explain things to you with such tranquility and assertiveness. You will be amazed by the high tech devices they carry (including drone, which they used to inspect my 2 story property). They do not leave any nook or cranny unchecked or stone unturned. They really look out for the interest of the buyer. Thank you Aris and please forgive me as this review was waayyyyyyy Over due. But here it is! And thank you so much. God bless you, your family and your business. Keep up the fantastic work! read more

As a first-time homebuyer, Aris was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable in his inspection. Aris seems like a very trustworthy and very knowledge home inspector. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspector. read more

I was in the market for a new home and looked up and saw Aris and Josh's reviews on here and was first skeptical, bit after meeting them, understand why the reviews are the way they are!! They showed up as scheduled, inspected the house within reasonable time, told me the problem areas with helpful tools and tips on home upkeep and improvment. Not only that, they are very professional and I definitely consider their advices straight from the bottom of their hearts. They have much more integrity than other companies I researched and certainly take the time to reassure any concerns you have about your current or future home. Bottom line: they provide top notch qualitative service for a very great price. I'd give 10 stars if possible. please keep up the exceptional work. read more

I strongly recommend NCSI! Aris and Joshua are extremely knowledgeable and professional. As a first time homebuyer I had no idea what I was in store for and they were very patient and answered all of my numerous questions and concerns. They were very through and helped calm my nerves on owning a home. Aris's wealth of knowledge on home ownership and maintenance was extraordinary. I highly recommend NCSI for their professionalism and extreme honesty, which I believe is rare to find. I also was highly impressed by all their great tech. They are really cutting edge on their inspections. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! read more

I called NCSI for a home inspection in December and Aris and his son came to do it. Not only were they thorough, but friendly, honest, and personable. You don't find too many people these days who take so much pride in their work and the father and son team certainly do. I thought a home inspection was such a mundane affair but they made it fun and interactive explaining each step in the process and explaining how all their equipment works (which was pretty cool). I would not only recommend them but if I ever need a home inspection in the future, I wouldn't' think twice to call them. DP read more

Stellar. We were in Asia when we got in touch with them for an inspection of a home in Northridge, for which we made an offer. When Aris himself did the inspection, even the realtors, for both sides, and our contractor, were all impressed beyond words. It was a thorough inspection. Professional, experienced, highly competent, honest and extremely easy to work with. You cannot go wrong with NCSI. Recommend them highly. Thank you, Aris for that experience. read more

Aris is the man and the best inspector hands down! He's always willing to share his experience and educate you throughout the inspection. His professionalism and decades of experience shine in his reports and teachings. read more

UPDATE: Aris resurfaced long enough to provide an incomplete report, but did not return to the home to inspect the crawl space. During the initial inspection he spotted raccoons under the house so we had to have them removed before he could continue. He is once again unresponsive to our agent's emails and phone calls, and we had to hire another inspector to provide a new report. What is sad is that where the reports overlap Aris' is indeed more thorough and uncovered more issues, so he really is a good inspector. He's just apparently going through some sort of personal rough patch that is ruining his ability to properly conduct his business. read more

BEWARE!!! Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other recent negative reviews. This inspector is a crook. He was over an hour late to our inspection, and it's been over a week and still no report. What's a shame is that during the inspection, he seemed to know his stuff and really inspired a lot of confidence in his judgment. We trusted all the stellar Yelp reviews, and moved forward with him although he quoted the highest price ($500) and wanted to be paid only in cash. My guess is he's going through some marital issues or has a gambling problem and at this point is just trying to make money wherever he can in order to address his own personal problems. Run far away. I am now in the process of filing a claim against him while our home inspection contingency period is only days away from expiring. UGH. read more

We recently hired Aris at NCSI to do the home inspection on our new house we purchased and we could not have been happier. He did a thorough inspection and used the latest technology to ensure we got the best results. He even took the time to speak to my husband afterward and explain the results and then again to me over the telephone. You can tell he is just a good person and very good at what he does. Exactly the type of person/business we should all support. He even offered to provide advice in the future at no cost since we used his services. Wonderful! read more

Aris is hands down the greatest home inspector my family and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I simply cannot give him enough praise! He is the most thorough, honest, and seasoned professional out there and I will forever recommend him to anyone who asks. He literally saved my life! Just two days before Thanksgiving, Aris came to meet us at a house I was hoping to buy and immediately uncovered so many issues that my family and I hadn't noticed or even known to look for! There's really nothing better than working with someone who so clearly loves what he does. He had the coolest, most high tech equipment and stayed for hours examining the house and explaining everything he was doing with enthusiasm and great detail. He answered all of our questions, gave his honest perspective, and told us where each issue fell on the scale of mere inconvenience to costliness to actual danger on move-in. He sent an extremely detailed and professional report the very next day which relieved a lot of the stress that came with trying to buy a home over the holidays. Because of Aris, I felt confident and informed in my decision not to move forward with my dream house. Plus, working with him had the added bonus of teaching me so much about what to look for in the next house. I trust Aris's work to no end and I know that when I do find a home, he'll make sure it's safe to move in to. To me that is by far the most important factor. read more

My experiance with this company was fantastic. They exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend their services. Their report was very thorough and I look foward to using them again. Aris is by far the best inspector I have ever know. Aris is above and beyond phenomenal. read more

I did extensive research before choosing an inspector and was please when Aris had an opening on literally the only day possible for me to get the inspection done. My agent tried to push inspectors with poor reviews on me which made me very uncomfortable. I insisted on one with a better review. I am still working on the negotiation process as far as getting my list of repairs completed by the seller. Agent has been less than helpful but Aris has been available by phone and email to reference throughout the process. His packet that he puts together is thorough and wonderful for the buyer-outlines all issues in very easy to read color coded sections. Can't recommend enough! (I never write reviews!) read more

Aris has the best customer service, period! He is professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. After he inspects a section of the house, he gives you a summary his findings so that you don't get overwhelmed. This was very helpful to us, as first time home-buyers. His inspection report is even more impressive. It's organized to help the buyer understand what's major or minor and contains lots of pictures for reference. Even after the inspection, he is true to his word. You can contact him for advice and he will help with no hesitation. We are truly grateful to have met Aris. read more

In a nut shell: There is only one company out there to do your home inspection and that company is NCSI. if you are NOT hiring Aris (owner) you are insane! this is hands down the best home inspection i have ever had done (and i have seen many). The owner, Aris, is super nice, highly professional and will make you feel very comfortable for the very second you meet him. Aris is using state of the art and top flight technology. when i arrived for my scheduled inspection, he was already flying a drone over the future house to be. the jaws of all people present dropped and mouths were wide open. He even has a robot car that they use on the mars expedition. it goes into every little space under the house to see everything. you won't here any more from an inspector that they are to fat to fit into a crawlspace or that they can't go under the house because there is too much stuff laying around under the house. not with Aris. he will just drive his robot in. Aris also uses flare guns that can detect any moist behind walls. no more surprises once you have bought your house and you find out that there was actually a water damage somewhere or a fungus infection. bottom line: i would give 6 stars if i could. Aris is just phenomenal. the inspection report that you receive is the best and most detailed one i have every seen. read more

Aris and his team were friendly, courteous, professional and best of all very knowledgeable and honest. They thoroughly inspected the property from top to bottom and the inspection report was even more thorough than I could have hoped for. Excellent experience and I would highly recommend them. read more

"A" stands for AWESOME and that's Aris Lopez. I am a Realtor and I met Aris at an inspection for one my client about a year ago. Since then, I've been calling Aris for all my home inspections. Aris is thorough, detailed oriented, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, honest etc. you name it he has it! Aris will dig out the smallest problem with a home and let you know exactly who/what/when/where/how the problem happened and how you can go about fixing the problem. He also goes over and above to answer any and all questions that you have regarding the inspection. If you want a home inspection done correctly, you will have to call Aris Lopez at NCSI! read more

I decided to work with Aris for my families home inspection after reading many positive reviews. My family and I weren't disappointed. Aris was really patient with my many questions, let me tag along throughout the inspection, and had many helpful tips for dealing with issues found throughout the home. I really appreciated his patience. I also liked that the report we received a day later was detailed and included pictures of the home. read more

NCSI -- or Aris Lopez is an excellent home inspector, providing the most thorough report with photographs of absolutely everything, after the inspection. During the inspection he was helpful, explanatory, full of creative ideas for problem-solving, interactive with the contractor who was on-site at the same time -- in short, the ideal home inspector. Look no further!! read more

Aris was a pleasure to work with. He was very thorough and the inspection report was very detailed with lots of pics to explain what he found. I was not able to be at the inspection and was working with him long distance but he gave me more than enough information. Also, he offered to, and did, provide assistance after the inspection was complete. read more

While searching for a home inspector, we decided to go with NCSI due to the number of reviews and their consistently high ratings. Aris showed up to the inspection early and started reviewing the area before we arrived. He was very thorough and took tons of pictures. The equipment he used was very high tech, which he demonstrated and explained to us. He even utilized a drone so that he could get some video/shots of the roof to see if there were any issues. After he inspected an area, he would report back to us and walk us through his findings. He pointed out the areas he would be noting on the report which was nice so that we were not overloaded at the end with a ton of information. He was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to answer all our questions and provide us with some advice on how to maintain the house in the future. Best of all he sent us the final inspection report that night, which was great since we had a short escrow. Aris is a friendly, enthusiastic professional who excels at his job. I would highly recommend using NCSI! read more

My experience with NCSI far exceeded my expectations. Inspector Aris Lopez is a true professional; he's knowledgeable, thorough, and honest. As a first time home buyer, he patiently walked me through the entire inspection, taking time to answer all questions I had along the way (and I had many questions). The property I have in escrow is a bit unique: a three-unit dwelling built in the 1920's. Nonetheless, nothing phased Aris; his knowledge and experience is extensive. read more

A+ for Aris. He gave us a detailed home inspection with a lot of good advice about repairs. He didn't miss a thing! He had a report for us the next day. I highly recommend him. read more

Aris Lopez has been a tremendous home inspector for several of my clients. All of my clients have absolutely loved him. He takes the time to walk through the house with each of my clients. He explains all of his findings in a clear and concise manner so that my client can understand fully what they are purchasing . AND he is always on time and very dependable, which is difficult to find in today's world of contractors. I will continue to recommend my clients to wherever Aris Lopez is working.. read more

Aris was referred by my realtor and did an incredible job on the home inspection. He is knowledgeable, professionally, and is looking after your interests. I have purchased homes before and never had such detail performed on the inspection. The evening after the inspection he phoned and discussed in detail the issues and the positives of the property, and followed up first thing in the morning with the report via email which included everything examined, including photos, and the rate was very reasonable (you even get a discount if referred by your realtor). What I also liked is that he is available by phone or email to discuss any questions you have and responds promptly. Highly recommend. read more
